Playstyle

Helminth over Soul Punch or Shadows — Desecrate loot economy and Terrify strip while a weapon buff and guns clear.

Passive abilities

Desecrate rolls extra loot from corpses. Despoil spends health instead of energy so Equilibrium can convert health orbs into cast fuel. Shadows of the Dead copy strong kills; Shield of Shadows redirects damage into them.

Active abilities

  • 1 Soul Punch — Soul projectile that can spawn shadows on kills. Discharge Strike is niche Electric.
  • 2 Terrify — Fear + armor strip. Creeping Terrify slows. Aim ~167%+ Strength for comfortable full strip.
  • 3 Desecrate — Loot aura on corpses. Despoil pays with health — keep Equilibrium online.
  • 4 Shadows of the Dead — Summon copies of recent kills. Shield of Shadows redirects damage and statuses.
  • Helminth over Soul Punch (Roar / Nourish / Eclipse). Keep Desecrate.
