Welcome to the most detailed Plant COC Endgame Build Guides.

Although this guide will be heavily focusing on the Oracle, you could use this guide as a Lich, Gemling Legionnaire or anything else you might want to try.

Plant Daddy is an incredibly fun and busted build that is extremely viable in the Endgame and have a very high ceiling. This guide will tackle all details you need to know for a few variants.

The combination between Entangle Thunderstorm Thrashing Vines with something like Cast on Critical is really good and very versatile. You are able to choose between multiple option to add into your Cast on Critical and they all work very well. You can go for:

Cast on Critical + Bone Cage
Cast on Critical + Bone Cage + Thunderstorm
Cast on Critical + Thunderstorm
Cast on Critical + Thunderstorm + Thrashing Vines
Cast on Critical + Comet

Our Early Endgame variant will feature Cast on Critical + Bone Cage as its really good damage, lower mana cost and scales with Physical Spell Skill damage. For the Mid & Late Endgame we will be doing Cast on Critical + Bone Cage + Thunderstorm which will combine multiple benefits together however it will cost us a bit more mana, which is why we are trasnitioning here in the Mid instead of going for it early on. And for the Uber Endgame we will transition to Thrashing Vines and Thunderstorm in Cast on Critical as it works perfectly with our Damage scalability of this build.

The juicier the maps are the better Thrashing Vines will work in Cast on Critical, which is why we wait for a later switch.

⭐COMET SWAP (This has been tested on multiple maps)

We could eventually move away from the Thrashing Vines and go for Comet on our Cast on Critical. This is very powerful however it needs much more ENERGY to trigger and Mana to sustain it. Apart from that the Energy is collected by being able to deal enough damage to surpase the monster Threshold with your basic skill, Entangle. So in order for Comet to fully work properly, you need a ton of Currency Investment into the build.

Within this guide you will find details and instructions aswell as explanations for a ton of things including Skills Gems, Support Gems, Passive Tree Priority, Items and many more.

EARLY ENDGAME - Tier 1 - Tier 7 MAPS

THIS VERSION HAS ITS OWN VIDEO GUIDE.

From the point you get into the endgame and go for Tier 1 Maps, all the way to Tier 7 Maps, would be considered as Early Endgame.

Here, its important to cap all of our Resistances and get the right mods to support this build. Since we are at lower levels our Passive Tree pathing is a little more linear since

In this variant, we will be using Entangle to mass clear the maps, with the help of Thunderstorm for rares.

On bosses we will be using Sigil of Power and then Thrashing Vines + Thunderstorm while spamming Entangle.

Once you start being comfortable with TIER 7 MAPS, then you can start getting into Tier 8/9 maps and therefore you will endter the MID ENDGAME SECTION so go to the next variant.

⭐Weapon(s):

You can choose to go for a Wand + Focus or look for a Staff. Both are really good, however Staff might have a higher ceiling later on and could potentially be easier to craft, rather than trying to get 2 perfect items.

On the Wand make sure you add the new Soulcore called ''Jiquani's Soul Core of Abundance''. This provides us with +1 Level to All Plant Skill Gems. Which adds more damage on Entangle and Thrashing Vines which make it better than our other 2 choices.

The mods we are looking for are:

+ Level of all Physical Spell Skills / + Level of all Spell Skills
Increased Spell Physical Damage
Increased Spell Damage
Increased Cast Speed
Increased Critical Hit Chance for Spells
Increased Critical Spell Damage Bonus
+# to Energy Shield (Focus)
% Increased Energy Shield (Focus)

⭐Gloves:

An amazing piece of unique gloves are the Nightscale because of the Critical Hit Chance it provides but also the insane Mana Efficiency it brings to the build. Great QOL all around.

These however, are NOT mandatory to have once you enter Maps, you can just roll a normal Rare Glove and then try to find them / buy them.

Rare Gloves should focus on: Cast Speed / Resistances / Rarity of Items

⭐Amulet:

This is one of the most important items that will provide us with a ton of Damage and Defensives.

The mods we are looking for are:

+ Level of All Spell Skills (Prio)
+ Spirit (Prio)
Critical Hit Chance
Critical Damage Bonus
Spell Damage
Elemental Resistances
+# Energy Shield
% Increased Maximum Energy Shield
Rarity of Items

Try prioritizing the above mods and combining a few Offensive + Defensive mods.

⭐Rings:

Good Ring base early on is Pearl Ring due to Cast speed but feel free to grab anything you can aslong as you have decent modifiers.

The mods we are looking for are:

to maximum Mana
Cast Speed
to maximum Life
Rarity
Resistances

⭐Body Armour:

Our Body Armour base should be Armour + Energy Shield Hybrid. Later on we can experiment and switch to a pure Energy Shield base. The higher our level is, the more points we can invest on the tree, so the more valuable ES will become.

You also want to look out for some Spirit here so we can add more Spirit Gems to the build. Early on, it also depends whether you have Spirit on your Amulet.

On the Body Armour, Helmet, Boots, Belt, you want to focus on:

Armour or Armour/ES base
Max Life
Resistances

⭐Jewels:

The difficulty of finding good jewels will always depend whether its a league start or whether you already have a main. For this build our BIS jewel is Sapphire however we can definitely work with some mods on Emerald and even Ruby.

Sapphire Mods to look out for:

Increased Spell Damage
Increased Damage with Plant Skills
Increased Cast Speed
Increased Critical Hit Chance with Spells
Increased Critical Damage Bonus with Spells
Mana on Kill

⭐Skill Gems:

Entangle: This ability is our main damaging ability which we will use to clear all maps and spam on bosses. It scales with Physical Spell Damage and its empowered by other abilities in our kit such as Thunderstorm. Critical Hit Chance is also important on this skill because it will help trigger Cast on Critical. But because we are an Oracle this is far easier to manage.

For the 4th support gem we go for Heft so we can get extra Physical Damage on the ability. If you feel it's too slow and/or you dont need the extra damage, feel free to replace Heft with Mobility.

If you get a Perfect Jewellers Orb, then simply add both.
Thrashing Vines: This ability is one of our main damaging abilities for bosses. The vines on the ground will keep slapping anything next to them and they even get empowered by other abilities such as Thunderstorm the same way Entangle is being empowered. Similar to the other one, this ability scales with Physical Spell Damage too.

For the 4th support gem we go for Heft so we can get extra Physical Damage on the ability.

If you get a Perfect Jewellers Orb, then add Blindside since we are constantly Blinding due to Accelerated Growth II.
Thunderstorm: This ability is the one that empowers both of the other Plant abilities above. Not only it deals Lightning Damage which can Shock the enemies but it also Overgrows our Plants dealing extra damage and effects. We mainly use this ability on bosses, but feel free to use it every once in a while on rares or maps if needed.

For the 4th support gem we go for Living Lightning II so we can trigger the little lightning dudes to deal more damage and extra shock.
Sigil of Power: This ability is obtained through our Chiming Staff on Weapon Set Two. We place it on the ground just before the boss fight and we stand on it to get the benefits which increase our damage. Make sure you buy higher level of Sigil of Power through better Chiming Staff.

⭐Spirit Gems:

This build utilizes Cast on Critical due to the amazing Critical Hit we have as an Oracle through Forced Outcome.

On Cast on Critical we have multiple abilities we can go for but we are choosing Bone Cage. You could also experiment with Thunderstorm and automate. However, Bone Cage is insanely strong and its yet another ability that synergizes beautifully with our Physical Spell Damage Scaling.

Later on, towards the Late Endgame, we might switch it for Comet and/or Grim Pillars.

⭐Important To Know:

All Skills should be on Weapon Set 1, Cast on Critical should be on both Weapon Sets and Sigil of Power should be on Weapon Set 2.
Your leveling priority should be Entangle > Bone Cage > Thrashing Vines > Thunderstorm
Your Quality priority should be Entangle > Cast on Critical > Bone Cage > Thunderstorm > Thrashing Vines

Please follow the priority of the nodes that you see above.

Only go for Enhanced Barrier earlier if you are struggling with your defensives.

Ascendancy:

Our Ascendancy priority is going to remain the same as the leveling which is getting Forced Outcome first for the Crit and then The Unseen Path for the secret nodes.

Once you get The Unseen Path you want to immediately get all 3 secret nodes Comradery, Calculated Hunter and Cower Before the First Ones.

Dont forget that you cannot Refund your Atlas Tree nodes, therefore they are locked in. If you overjuice your maps you wont be able to progress. The Atlas above is a good representation on how to go slower on the juice but also pack it up with Magic Monsters so you can get some loot/currency and XP.

If you are still in the Early Endgame Variation and you got more points, just go for something chill like Strongboxes next.

https:// pobb.in/joea695dm92s CAN U LOOK AT MY POB? AND WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT THIS

ShinyShield•4d ago

im on 136 strength 22 dex and 163 int should i change something?

TwistedBrother•8d ago

Hello Scorpius! Thanks for this guide!
Build is fun, but i find it a bit difficult to survive in some cases, mainly in Pinnacle Bosses and some rituals.
I am resistance capped, with Chaos at 67% and 4,8k ES.
When do you think is best to switch to CI path?

Scorpius

Author

•4d ago

With 67% Chaos its not very ideal to switch to CI. Resistance is clearly not your problem here. You are low on ES and probably your damage is lower than it should be. So you can do the following:
1) Keep your chaos res but focus on increasing your ES to 7k+ and increase your damage
2) Change all your Chaos Res gear to more ES and more DMG and then convert to CI

CI is not mandatory, its a choice. If you're running Chaos dmg heavy mechanics like Ritual then having it is good but you already have 67% chaos so i dont think thats the main issue

I am struggling a bit, wouldn´t spell dmg be better on the staff than extra cold damage? Thank you.

Scorpius

Author

•4d ago

yeah spell damage would be better overall. I dont think that this one mod will make a huge difference and prevent you from struggling. What is the struggle exactly?

FierceStorm•12d ago

Hey, what if i have 2 crafted mods on a perfect staff, can i astrid creativity it and get archon with runebinder ?

Scorpius

Author

•4d ago

how do you have 2 crafted mods without one of them being the one we need?

Titilanious•13d ago

Hi i have been playing this build for awhile now as a SSF I have been using Threaded Light, with +11% spell damage per 10 spirit and i am struggling to find a reason besides survivability to switch off of it. What level do you think i should swap out/ try to craft a new focus?

Scorpius

Author

•12d ago

I think your idea in using Threaded Light is great especially for SSF. The Mana regen and the extra Spell dmg is great. Since you're playing SSF, there isnt a level cap that you'll strive to change it but its whether you manage to craft something better. If you want more dmg and more survivability then getting a Focus with + ES and Increased ES while having +2 level of spells and some other good mods will be so much better. You can use the Omen of Putrefaction on a good focus
