Overview

Weather Glass is a classic Vanessa archetype that was very popular during the early days of Closed Beta, but eventually fell out of favor as other builds rose in power.

It offers a unique playstyle similar to Flagship, in that it requires specific types of items in order to reach its full potential.

While it may not be at the forefront of the meta, its interesting design opens the door to some very diverse setups, especially when you factor in enchantments.

Core Combos and Synergies

Enabling the Weather Glass

In order to maximize the Multicast output of your Weather Glass, you need to acquire another item with Burn, Poison, Slow, and Freeze. While this isn't too challenging a feat, it's important to consider how much space the items will occupy on board.

Small items tend to be ideal as they free up room for other supporting items, and in some cases you may even be able to double up on a single slot. Enchantments help make things easier, but if you want to take it a step further, try and hunt down certain enemies in PvE that could drop a Rainbow Potion if you're lucky.

While you generally won't have too much available space, it's important to leave room for a Haste enabler. Weather Glass is extremely strong offensively but lacks the defenses to sustain itself. Haste helps keep things moving smoothly so that the enemy Burns out before you do.

Overall, given the nature of how Weather Glass is enabled, you can take the build in many different directions depending on what you find. It's all part of the fun, and when you discover interesting off-class items it gets even better!

Pufferfish

Pufferfish is a common secondary win condition alongside Weather Glass. After all, you need another Poison item, and Pufferfish thrives with multiple Haste triggers. Plus given the speed of its activations it makes for an excellent enchantment target.

Kripp happened to get a Turbo Weather Glass near the end of his run, helping fuel Pufferfish (alongside the rest of the build) even more.

Piano

Piano is a fantastic supporting item for a couple of reasons. For starters, it's a direct Haste enabler for Weather Glass when placed adjacent to it, and on top of that it also makes Pufferfish even better.

Astrolabe used to be the go-to for Haste triggers, but Piano is a great alternative that relies less on upgrades to be effective. Astrolabe unfortunately isn't as quick as it once was, unless you manage to get it at Diamond.

Kripp had a Heavy enchanted Piano which worked incredibly well with the Multicast from Weather Glass.

Icicle + Clamera

Icicle + Clamera fill the Freeze and Slow slots while both providing an immediate on-start disruption. These are great utility items that help Weather Glass get the early lead it needs, and can also combo with skills like Creeping Chill (or many others).

Supportive Items and Skills

Zoarcid + Pearl

Zoarcid + Pearl aren't normal inclusions for the build, but both happened to work very well within the right context. Zoarcid had a Fiery enchant which allowed it to fill the Burn slot, and also proc a ton of Haste alongside Weather Glass.

As for the Pearl, well it had the incredibly rare Shiny enchant. When placed next to the Piano it became a Friend, allowing it to spam a ridiculous amount of Haste procs to accelerate the build and Charge Pufferfish.

Immolating Spark

Positional Burn skills like Immolating Spark tend to give you the most bang for your buck, although pretty much any Burn skill works fine. However, do keep in mind that other supporting items can contest Weather Glass when it comes to positioning, so evaluate the board regularly in case you accidentally weaken yourself.

Initial Dose

Poison skills like Initial Dose can also be useful, but generally speaking Weather Glass tends to favor Burn because of its much faster clock. Regardless, extra Poison can make a considerable difference to your overall output, and also works well with Pufferfish in case positioning gets in the way.

Tracer Fire

Tracer Fire can stack up Crit fast in a Weather Glass build, and gets even faster with combined with Hot Spot adding extra triggers. Crit is always nice to have, but more of a bonus considering fights usually need to end fast.
