Witch
LichThis is a Step-by-Step Leveling Guide for one of the best League Starters in the Game.
The ED Contagion Lich is a simple to play and beginner friendly yet very strong Build both during leveling through the Campaign as well as the Endgame.
Although it is mostly suited and optimized for the Witch Class and Lich Ascendancy, it can absolutely be played by any other Class or Ascendancy to easily get through Campaign and into early Endgame as fast and smooth as possible.
Our main Damage Abilities are 
Essence Drain with 
Contagion to spread the Debuff, with also utilizing 
Dark Effigy paired with 
Despair for even more clear and good single target DPS.
Soulless Form, 
Atziri's Disdain and 
Heavy Buffer give this Build an out of the gate damage mitigation of 25% with the use of the core Ascendancy Node of 
Eternal Life. With a big focus on Energy Shield with high ES Bases as our Gear and basically picking up every % increased maximum Energy Shield Node on the Passive Tree, we can easily reach up to and above 10K Energy Shield while also maintining high Energy Shield recharge rate and a fast start to Energy Shield recharge.
This Guide is just for leveling through the Campaign, if you want the full written Guide with multiple Endgame Versions included, click the link down below.
