About
Welcome to this experimental starter build breakdown for Last Epoch Season 5 featuring the Radiant Lance Totem Paladin!
Important Reminder: Please keep in mind that this is an untested, theory-crafted experimental build designed in anticipation of Season 5. While the theory-crafting, synergies, and numbers suggest it could become a top-tier build, it has not been tested in-game yet and will likely require tweaking as actual gameplay experience is gained.
Gameplay Loop
Lazy & Devastating Playstyle: Drop your Reliquary Totems as you navigate through maps.
Automated Offense: The totems continuously auto-fire Radiant Lances and trigger automated Smite lightning bolts on hit.
Passive Buffs & Mobility: Holy Aura and Symbols of Hope run quietly in the background without needing manual button spam. Use Lunge to move between enemy groups, inflict frailty, and trigger additional Smites.
