The Doomed Hunt

Max Duration pushes Spectral Spirit to 30s+ of invulnerability per activation, and its 25s cooldown drops 1s per kill, so 25 kills (a few seconds of Rakhali or gunfire) resets it.

It also gives a 100% health-orb drop on kill, which Equilibrium turns into 55 energy each, so energy is a flood.

Range is dumped to 34% because Doom spreads between enemies within 15m of a Wyrd-Scythe hit regardless of your Range, and Spectral Spirit lets weapons and Rakhali self-apply Doom from any range.

1.

Activate Grave Spirit (tap 3) at mission start and whenever it is off cooldown.

2.

Cast Wyrd Scythe (tap 1): 7 auto-targeting sickles, slow plus forced viral.

3.

Cast Doom (tap 2) within Wyrd Scythe's 1s delay to mark a crowd; it spreads on hit.

4.

Cast Rakhali's Cavalry (tap 4) to strip and nuke the marked.

5.

Rotation: spam 1, 2, 4; keep 3 up.

Spectral Spirit invulnerability covers most of the mission; between activations, Catalyzing Shields (max shields 50) plus Brief Respite plus an Augur mod gives a full 1.33s gate off one cast of 2 or 4, and casting 4 is preferred for its innate i-frames.

Wyrd Scythe's slow means little reaches you anyway.

Max Duration for Spectral Spirit.

Efficiency dumped because of the orb flood plus Dagath's passive that quadruples orb value 35% of the time.

Range dumped as above.

Strength for the slow (95% cap at 272%), the banked damage (100% at 286%), and the Rakhali strip, though ~140% strips consistently since a horse hits multiple times.

Blind Rage is the Strength.

Narrow Minded, Primed Continuity, Constitution are the max Duration, and Narrow Minded's Range cost is free.

Primed Flow, Equilibrium are the energy flood.

Catalyzing Shields is the gate lock.

Brief Respite aura feeds it.

Spectral Spirit is the immortality.

Natural Talent, Madurai or an Amber shard is mandatory for Rakhali's slow cast.

Catalyzing Shields and Rolling Guard are optional if you use Vazarin Sling.

Augur Message or Nira's Hatred for more Duration.

Pick one.

Subsume over 1 or 4, never over Doom (you keep Doom application via Spectral Spirit but lose its Strength scaling).

- Roar over 1 for Rakhali and weapon damage.

- Wrathful Advance, Eclipse, Energized Munitions, Xata's Whisper or Nourish over 4 for a weapon platform.

- Breach Surge to semi-double-dip the Grave Spirit crit buff on sparks.

- Reave over 4: Doom banking drops the one-shot threshold to 181% Strength with 10 viral.

Arcane Concentration for more Duration, Molt Augmented for Strength.

Arcane Ice Storm with a cold weapon as a swap.

Madurai for cast speed and Strength.

Vazarin Sling as a backup.

High-crit weapons for the Grave Spirit crit-damage buff: Torid Incarnon, Miter Incarnon, Kuva Chakkhurr, Nataruk, Knell Prime.

Note Doom steals kills and blocks on-kill effects, so drop Galvanized mods and kill-dependent arcanes for the static variants.

Spectral Spirit immortality plus the between-activation shield gate plus the Wyrd Scythe slow.

It effectively does not fail while you keep getting kills to reset the cooldown.

The Spectral Spirit orb flood through Equilibrium.

A river.

Bosses.

Doom stealing kills can disrupt weapon build-up.

The Rakhali cast is slow without a cast-speed source.

5 forma.

A no-augment shield-gate build.

A pure weapon platform.

A Reave nuke build.

Strong: near-permanent immortality, a strip nuke, a top-tier slow, an energy flood, huge Helminth flexibility.

Weak: boss-blind, slow Rakhali cast, Doom interferes with kill-based weapon mechanics.

Players who want an immortal caster that strips and nukes and can be rebuilt into almost any weapon platform.
