How to play this Light Crossbow build?

Main Abilities

Use the second Q as your main damage spell. It has a short cooldown and works especially well with the second passive, which resets your Q after every 4 spell casts.

Use the third W in most fights. Its short cooldown helps you reach 4 spell casts quickly so you can reset your Q and use it again.

Hitting something with your W also slows enemies and gives you extra movement speed, so you can even hit nearby mobs when you need help chasing someone.

Switch to the second W when you do not need as much mobility. It reduces the enemy's damage resistances and helps your E hit much harder.

Your E is your main burst ability. The first hit deals a small amount of damage, then the bomb explodes after 2 seconds for much heavier AoE damage. The explosion cannot be reflected.


Off Hand

Use if you want maximum damage.

This turns the build into more of a glass cannon setup, so pair it with and Gigantify Potions for extra protection.

Use if you want a more balanced setup.

With , use and Healing Potions for better sustain during longer fights.


Helmet

Use for another defensive layer.

The shield becomes stronger below 40% Health, so depending on the fight you can use it early and potentially have it available again when you are low.


Chest

Use with .

You need to take damage shortly after activating it for the shield to trigger, so use it when the enemy is actually attacking you instead of too early.

Once triggered, you become immune to damage for a short time and gain increased damage, which can give you a strong window to finish the fight.


Boots

Use as your main escape or comeback tool.

The lower your Health is, the more Vengeance Charges you gain. These increase both your movement speed and damage.

Use them to escape when a fight is going badly or to turn a close fight when you need extra damage.
