Acquiring Ashes, preferably with quality for additional spikes and increased cooldown recovery rate on War Cries, is important for maximizing damage. Crafting a high-tier hybrid physical damage axe involves using condemned Essences to get the desired mods and using a veil to unveil increased physical damage. Additionally, maximizing endurance charges and crafting a buffed armor base will provide increased armor for the character.

### Optimizing Equipment for High Value and Armor in the Game
Prioritize triple armor mods and additional physical damage reduction for high value equipment. Look for increased damage while leeching on gauntlets and craft for X accuracy rating.
