EXAMPLE BUILD - Celestial Striker:
This unconventional build defeats enemies by slamming right through them, detonating its shields, and burning anything nearby.
- Hullbreaker is the cornerstone of our build, fast, resilient, and able to deal massive crash damage based on its velocity.
- Amp Shield increases our velocity and damage, which results in massive crash damage.
- Volatile Shields ensures that when our Amp Shield breaks on impact, nearby enemies receive a devastating explosion.
- Flash Shielding lets us get our shield back quickly.
- Celestial Lance converts our speed into a burning aura, letting us crowd control as we soar.
- Celestial Surge lets us convert our aura into a massive burning projectile on demand, igniting anything in its path.
