So this build got a bit of a nerf but not too bad, and now we have elixirs! The video above is a T1000 clear on a variation of the build built for pushing, for anything lower than T800 the original build will work much better, because of the way large flat multipliers are better when mob HP is not too high. But once you start getting further in endless runs these kind of damage multipliers have less impact, and so we switch to using satellites with the matching Beast tech to give us another approach to scaling damage.

I've collected a few shots of gear choices:

First I should say this build is a DLC adaptation of a build created by b z which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9MT3HB47ZI . They have made a load of other amazing Chronicon build guides, which are well worth checking out!

I'd also like to thank the Chronicon Discord for help and suggestions, and I just want to say how much I enjoy this game, the DLC has been a fantastic addition!

For some game play, this should give you an idea of how fun a T600 can be with a super nice layout, and over 2.5k mastery points:











Getting to T800 is a good challenge, and making sure buffs don't drop off, along with learning how to manage mob pack size and health will help a lot. The next video is longer, and goes over my gear at the end:

This shield enables one of the infinitely stacking damage sources we use, namely 20% increased damage from Shield Skills. The rune lets us spam our main skill Shattering Shield

















Sadly the Mythical sword we get in the DLC doesn't present too many great options for a second rune. We make use of the +1 GR cap, but the second can be switched if you prefer. Note 4 attack speed gems used in weapon and off hand, this means we can break 375% attack speed to get 8 frames per second for our attacks.






















War Gods set bonuses give us our second source of infinitely scaling damage, The helm rune has some good choices, I prefer Wyrick's for a good balance of defence and offensive power.



















A wealth of choices for the armour rune here. I've gone with Spirit Guard as our mana on hit paired with the high attack speed gives us great sustain, also getting near T800 dropping a few mana gems for Evasion helped make it a bit more reliable, but early on I would think it's not needed.



















Stormchasers adds a ton of dps, just make sure you hit that twister enchant on the sword. If you don't like twisters you can drop these boots and wear the Battle Boots and pick a rune of your choice, then swap to Hellfire enchant - you may find it gives you a smoother play-through, some even would argue better - but from my testing I preferred this set up. Both feel good to me. Either way make sure you get the 5% chance to interrupt stat - it's a massive gain for tankiness.








Fairly standard choice here, Mana -> DPS makes good use of those extra Mastery points. Rune is important too to our main skill. The gear we use will need 1 each of Extra Block Chance and Extra Damage Blocked to hit the 90/55 caps.












This set, in conjunction with the artifact 'Elementalist's Boon' give us a massive ele dmg boost - make sure to roll damage vs Elementals and the 4 gear pieces you can get it on. Taunt rune helps boost damage, and manage mobs during the run.














Make sure to get the Jeopardy rune here, we hit so fast the downtime will be very low. Also once you start hitting tougher anomaly runs, the chance to explode on death stat really shines. Learning to manage mobs health, pack size and chain pulling will pay dividends if done right.

Main skill tree.

Put enough points to get 3/3 Devotion for aura strength.

All the attack speed we can get.

Make sure to pick up Reflective Shield, it gets applied when we use the tome version of this skill.

We can get 10% damage stagger here, just to soften the blow of some large one-hit damage. Personally I find any more than that and it can cause as many deaths as it saves - but that's just my preference. Make sure to take the Overpower here, so we can hit the 100% cap. Depending on the rune in your armour you may want to balance health and mana.

Gives us some physical res plus block chance.


Lets us proc Battle Boots for that damage reduction, plus more movement speed is always good :D

Massive damage boost when you roll Dmg vs Elemental on gear, and pair it with the All for One set.

I love this artifact for the quality of life it provides. Being able to herd mobs around without having to worry about taunting is so nice. However, there are a few other great choices here, so if you perfer something else go for it!

Great eHP boost.


Nice little boost across the board.

Would like to see higher mana here, the more the better.

Can push evasion higher at the cost of damage by swapping more gems.


This is with 2.7k mastery points.

I have had a blast getting this to T800, and the boss ramp damage is crazy. It does suffer in speed however when it comes to general mob clearing past T600, but the build can be tailored to more tanky, or more dps as you progress, and what you feel like you're missing.

Also so long as you have the shield and the 3 pieces of War Gods, the build will always work. I tried a few different set-ups along the way, so make sure if you think something might work, give it a go! And in that spirit I would welcome any and all comments, critiques or suggestions for this guide.
