Tips

  • Peak’s Springless Silence leaves a water clone — flash back to it within 5s to get your range back.
  • Launching a target doubles Star Reacher’s Physical Attack bonus.
  • Cloud Steps into Guardian Palm is great for AoE damage while kiting.
Playing solo / open world?
  • Use Jadewind Shield against walls so mobs can’t surround you.
  • Swap Fivefold Bleed for Light and Shadow Alike for extra damage reduction.
