Potions

Magicka+Spell Crit+Unstoppable

 

  • Basic combo: Deep Fissure->[Light Attack]+Tentacular Dread (3 stacks) as Deep Fissure is about to deal damage->[Light Attack]+Whirling Blades

 

  • You can wait for the second hit of Deep Fissure and throw in a Dawnbreaker of Smiting for the maximum burst.

 

  • The build is very hit & run style, meaning you shouldn’t really try to brawl, but rather build up combos and keep landing them and executing low health opponents with Whirling Blades.

 

  • Try to always keep Deep Fissure active if possible so you can combo more often and get more opportunities to combo with the second hit of Deep Fissure.
