Builds
All numbers from patch v1.0.2b, solo, no food buffs. The DPS log below is the author's actual notebook, typos and all.
Onette · Tidebreak
I know every site has an Onette build. This one has 40 hours of my life in it and a DPS log I actually keep in a notebook. If your numbers differ, check your Tide stack timing first before yelling at me in the comments.
🔄 Poke x3 (Tide marks) → dodge-cancel → finisher at 3 stacks → repeat. Never finish at 2 stacks, the math is brutal.
Kaelith · Ember Choir
Screen-clear build. Positioning is 80% of this build — stand behind the tank pillar, not on top of it. I keep seeing fresh Kaeliths eat the Colossus slam mid-channel and blame the class.
🔄 Pre-cast before the pull → detonate on engage → reposition during boss recovery frames → channel again.
Nyx · Post-Nerf Spite
Yes, she was nerfed. No, she is not unplayable — she is just "fair" now, which feels like an insult. This build exists because I refuse to let the v1.0.1 patch note win.
🔄 Backstab opener → mark → TWO heavy weaves (yes, two now) → backstab reset. Practice the heavy-weave timing on the dummy for 20 minutes and it clicks.

“Your DPS log has "ate one slam" as a note column. This is the most honest spreadsheet in the fandom.”
