Scenarios

Description

Because it’s not possible to Block or Evade attacks in Ankh this build revolves around glancing attacks instead.

Situational Abilities

Helter Skelter

This ability can be used as AoE impair. It’s especially useful for the third encounter and the fifth.

Reality Fracture

This ability can be used for damaging enemies at a distance. While useful it’s more of a personal choice.

Stoicism

Because of its low cooldown this ability is especially useful against melothat during the sixth encounter.

How it works

Fluid Defence will provide you with a lot of mitigation through the several ways you can glance attacks.

Martial Discipline can be casted before dreaming shroud is activated to mitigate a lot of the incoming damage.

Spiral of death is necessary to jump over the wave during the second and last encounter.
