↖ Shrine Buff Duration Management
The right shrine buffs can turn any battle in your favor during the Gauntlet. Ensure that your gear benefits from shrine buff duration so that you can keep these buffs going longer. This tactic favors HotA build because it relies on burst damage which can be amplified by shrines.
↖ Paragon Board Strategies
Your Paragon board choices weigh a lot on how effective your build can be. Take a look at these options:
- Brawl: Boosts Charge damage so you can hit harder.
- Mortal Draw: Increases crit chance and ensures consistent damage.
Try out both in different gameplay scenarios to see which one you like the most.
↖ Which One Do You Want to Use?
Both HotA and Rend Bleed builds have their own perks. HotA offers huge bursts of damage while Rend provides relentless pressure on enemies. Your choice may depend on personal preference or situational needs in the Gauntlet. Prepare both builds, start with HotA, then adapt as you climb the ranks.
