About

This is a powerful ranged "Cold BladeStorm" build using several key skills. This build utilizes BladeStorm as its main offensive skill, automatically triggering additional Explosive Trap and Shuriken skills for extra damage. To supercharge this attack, players are meant to throw their Umbral Blades directly into the BladeStorms, resulting in devastating explosive damage. This build offers mobility through the Smoke Bomb traversal skill, allowing players to move quickly from group to group of enemies, leaving a trail of frozen destruction.

Key Mechanics & Scaling

  • Low-Life Defense: The build utilizes Astral Blood and the Death’s Door passive to operate at low health, gaining massive damage reduction and critical strike multipliers.

  • Dexterity Stacking: By using Morning Frost boots, every point of Dexterity adds flat cold damage to your attacks, making Dexterity your most important scaling stat.

  • Crit & Penetration: The build focuses heavily on cold penetration and critical strike multiplier, reaching tooltip DPS numbers over 200,000 for its primary skills.

The Endgame loot filter is located here.

Rogue

The foundation of the build is built on stacking core attributes and early survivability.

  • Steady Hand: Prioritized for the flat Dexterity, which is your primary damage scaler via your boots.

  • Evasion & Agility: Standard Rogue pickups that provide damage reduction while moving and increased haste/dodge chance.

  • Twin Blade: Essential since this build dual-wields daggers (Trader's Tongue) to maximize attack speed and hit rate.
