Recommended Builds

Physical combos from skills into Unrivaled Strike

From Unique onward, press down + attack after a skill for Unrivaled Strike. The main follow-up deals physical basic attack damage; build around that category.

Ultimate Warrior
Recommended A candidate for a strong follow-up, not a mandatory skill roll.

Items

Bone of Courage
Recommended Supports a Power skull's physical damage. A Power partner is an optional boost.
Mane of a Red Horse
Recommended Speeds up normal attack chains, not every follow-up animation.
Infinite Bone
Recommended A chance to reset a skill creates extra combo opportunities.

Inscriptions

Courage2
Recommended An early target for physical attack.
Revenge2
Recommended Supports recovery after actual health loss. Do not take hits deliberately.

Dark Abilities

Innate Power
Recommended Strengthens Unrivaled Strike, which deals basic attack damage.

How to Play

Chain skill → down + attack → next skill during boss openings. Fewer targets mean smaller cooldown refunds, so do not expect the maximum every time against a boss. The enhanced Legendary strike has invulnerability; the normal strike does not. Break the combo to dodge danger. A follow-up occurring after a skill is not a reason to stack skill-damage-only bonuses. The simulator fills available slots with recommended candidates. Remove or replace them to suit your run.

Why It Works

At Rare, finish the normal attack chain before Unrivaled Strike. Prioritize Unique awakening and open combos with Unstoppable Advancement and Ultimate Warrior. Physical damage comes first; a Power partner for Bone of Courage is optional. The item Mane of a Red Horse supports normal attack speed. Without Infinite Bone, rotate your two skills around their normal cooldowns.
