Gear:
Griffs Cham
Enigma
Arach
Magefists
2/17+ fcr amulet
X2 fcr rings (mana, attack rating and/or dex would be decent adds)
Upgraded gore riders (or shadow dancers)
X2 mosaics in greater talons or runic talons (Pheonix strike, blades of ice, claws of thunder, fade, weapon block are best skills in that order but plain is fine honestly)
Cta spirit Mon swap

Inventory
Torch
Anni
X4/5 ma gcs with life frw or fhr
Scs with fhr, attack rating or life
Try to hit 28 fhr, 48 if you go dancers but it’s not necessary

Merc
Act 2 might (blessed aim wont usually kick in to help you gather charges in time, might will increase merc healing and your kick physical dmg)
Infinity
Fort
Cham vgaze

Stats
Enough str for gear
Dex enough for gear + some extra if you need more attack rating while getting charges (I like to hit around 6-7k with lowest ar charge)
Rest vita

Skills
Max:
Pheonix strike
Blades of ice
Claws of thunder

Only 1 point into:
Burst of speed
Cobra strike
Fists of fire
Cloak of shadows (optional if ar is low)
Dragon flight

*enough points into weapon block for at least 56%
***enough into dragon talon to be just shy of doing 5 kicks after battle command (5 kicks adds a bunch of frames onto final kick and slows you down a lot)

Rest of points: claw mastery if you need more attack rating for changes otherwise tiger strike

How to play:

Charges:
Cast burst of speed and cloak of shadows (if necessary)
Gather charges:
Pheonix2, blades of ice3, claws of thunder2, cobra strike 2 or 3
*tiger strike if something is both light and cold immune -fists of fire if they’re also iron skin or skip them

Note if an area has a lot of light immunes then use Pheonix 3 instead

Note on cobra strike: it can glitch out and not work if you’re healing too much so don’t put more than 1 pt in it and don’t use full inv of ma gcs. Also leech doesn’t work on monsters without flesh like skeletons and ghosts or vs physical immunes

**Note fists of fire will convert your physical kick damage to fire damage PASSIVELY. Since leech is linked to physical dmg this can cause you to not leech if you level fists of fire even if you aren’t charging it!

Use dragon talon finisher most of the time

Use dragon flight vs weak enemies that die in 1 charge release.

Use teleport into dragon talon or use dragon flight for mobility if your aim is bad then dragon talon.

Don't go infinity on merc, go insight. You already 1-hit everything with a light sunder only. Insight is way better for mobility.

You get full mana from 1 dflight or talon. Infinity will give you more dps and can be the difference between killing more enemies outside of nova\boi range.

It’s not going to matter much either way but since insight is completely redundant might as well increase your clear % a bit

It’s not going to matter much but ideally x2 GT with 3 ps and as much -light res as you can get. Again this is more for getting a higher % of monsters killed within ps2 radius, anything in cot+boi radius will die either way
