he gu spon here and it is finally there. Here is my infinite V lightning strike s, and when I say infinite, I actually mean infinite. As much attack speed as you have, you can actually cast V lightning strikes. This is not one of those setups uh where you just slam on hate Forge and you can cast more V lightning strikes than normal. V lightning strike is all of your damage. Also, no war CES you have to press. It's basically like your right click is now V lightning strike instead of lightning strike. The reason this build is possible is this leag. You get 100% reduced Soul game prevention from a dagger enchant, which with hate Forge that gives the um skill a rage cost, and then on top of that rot Bloods promise and chains of emancipation, which we're going to talk about in the video, uh gives you permanent rage uptime. You basically self-curse yourself once you get to 25 rage, you get immune to curses, which gets you up to Max rage y yada. In order for this to work, we also use chain

breaker, and just to make this clear, you don't have to hit anything. We have no rage on hit that is needed. It is all passive. You can place down 20 many B lightning strikes before a boss spawns. It pops up. It's dead. This is one of the strongest builds I've ever played, and I don't want to be a fomo guy, but honestly, this will never be possible again, most likely because of the strain on their servers. I don't know if this was an oversight or U. Maybe they thought the rage rework was enough to make this not viable, but in general, I would say this is a grand opportunity to play something like this. The build started out quite laggy and still kind of is, but I found a few ways around that, so also definitely check that out in the video as well. I'll talk about that. This is a high-investment build. Do note, though, that I played this build for a week without a nemis, and as well as that, your belt slot will never have to be

filled by like a head hunter or Mage blood because you're using chains of emancipation. I usually don't say this, and I know prices go up and down, but for how uh this build is priced, it is still ridiculous performance. With that said, let's get into the video. All right, so before we even start, uh this is how the build kind of functions. I can kind of um just walk around and place my ball lightning strikes. It does even matter as often as I want to. So if I hold it down, you will see like a mini cool down, which isn't really cool down. I tested it. There is no restriction to how often you can cast it at a certain Mana region breakpoint. First off, a quickie here. Why V lightning strike? This is one of the strongest V skills in the game, and it just fits perfectly because it can be used with daggers as well. Um, a lot of you guys already know the uh what lightning strike does, what it is, so I will just talk about the differences in building a

Val lightning strike build and building a lightning strike build. Once again, we're not using lightning strike at any point. So, the first thing that is different is hits can't be evaded. This is obviously on, I think, almost all, if not all, V skills that are attack-based. So, that basically means you don't need any accuracy. Pretty damn cool. It doesn't have a maximum, so you can put down as many as you possibly can and as much as your computer allows you to. And it also has 10 projectiles from the get-go. So, whereas with normal lightning strike, you'll want to scale a few to make the build feel better, especially if you have a knee Miss because it just goes randomly into all directions. On this, you will not have to. You don't have to get a single plus two project. But let's talk about how it actually works. And I know this seems a little bit intimidating at first, but trust me, this is very, it's quite easy to understand once you understand it. 100% reduce Soul.

game prevention. So, on V skills, there's usually a cooldown period that makes it so you can't do stuff like this in this video. But for some reason, they thought it was a good idea to make it so on daggers, you can put 100% reduced Soul game prevention. This basically foregoes that cooldown. That means that once you place your validating strike, you can immediately gain back Souls. So, you would have to hit enemies or kill stuff, and then your Vol lightning strike Souls would fill up. However, we're using the hate Forge gloves, which makes it so that cost is actually not Souls anymore. It is Rage. And the downside, you cannot gain rage during Soul game prevention. Doesn't matter because we don't have any Soul game prevention. And here is where some of the setups end, and they use stuff like, for example, vengeful cry to have semi-Perma Val lightning strike. And that's totally fine, right? You get your belt slot back, which is a big deal. But here is where the actual infinite setup comes in. So, first up, we use Rod blood's

promise to self, curse with temporal chains. You socket temporal chains in here. You can do a high-level one because we are going to be immune to the curse, but it is going to apply that to ourselves so we can do something with the belt. Temp chains will only be on you for a split second, like you will not notice it. It will not slow you down at all. Now, the fourth thing we need here is the chains of emancipation, for this is where we get the perar rage fun. This is why we're self-cursing. So, enemy hits inflict temporal chains. Doesn't matter, we're going to be curse immune. When you lose temporal chains, you gain maximum rage. Doesn't matter how much maximum rage you have. Um, if you lose temporal chains, so you're self-cursed, and then all of a sudden you're curse immune, that would lose you temporal chains, you gain max rage. And it also says here immune to curses while we have at least 25 rage. So, that means the point from going from 24 to 25 rage is where

you go from being cursed to not being cursed. So, what we want to happen is that we somehow pass the lightning strike. It gets us exactly to 24 rage, and then somehow we get that one rage to go from 24 to 25 and back to full. We go, and that's exactly how it goes. If you look right here, you look at my rage bar. That is exactly what we're doing. The way we get that region is with chain breaker, which is a lethal Pride Keystone right here. Chain breaker basically converts your Mana region into rage region. It does, however, add a rage cost to all your skills, which does scale with Mana multipliers. So, for example, your main link lightning strike will cost quite a bit. In this case, it costs 28 rage, but that doesn't really matter 'cause we can scale maximum rage. So, what are the conditions to use all of this to actually have the setup work? You need exactly 28 rage cost on ball ending Shrek. That means fiddling around with the reduced rage cost of skills on your

hate Forge and then also fiddling around with these cost reductions right here. As you can see, I'm not using tireless, and that's for a reason. I want it to be at exactly 28 cost, and you can manipulate that with the reduced cost right here. Depending on what your Divine um says on the ha Forge, you will have to kind of figure that out for yourself, whatever setup you have. One important thing here is reduced Mana cost doesn't work, reduced life cost doesn't work. It has to say exactly reduced cost of skills. I also do not know why this not doesn't work. I said in my latest video that you could maybe take an impossible escape and get another 20% reduced cost or something. For some reason, this doesn't work for rage, even though it doesn't specify Mana life. So just so you know, and you don't, I don't know, waste your money. Okay, you got it to 28 rage cost. Next, you need exactly 52 maximum rage. The way you get that, you start up

with 30 right, you get plus 10 from here. You're on 40, you get the Mastery 47, and then you get berserking 52. You might already see why 28 and 52. If I do 52 minus 28, what rage will I be at after I cast it? 24. So, whenever I cast Val lightning strike with exactly the setup, I go to 24, and my region immediately pops me to 25, which with the belt gets me to full, and that is all the magic. Now, let's talk about ways to break the setup. You could have the wrong rage cost, obviously, so you have to think about that map Ms that reduce your Mana region. Also, stuff. If you have the neis setup, you're going to use Clarity, so in that case, you're also going to AA effect or something like that. That's something you have to figure out. You can also work against that. I currently have 21 rage regen. You only really need 17. It's still nice to have more than not.

I'll show you why in the mapping showcase, but basically, 17 I found to be kind of the cutoff point where it starts to feel good and where there is absolutely zero restrictions. This could actually have something to do with frame rate, though, so don't quote me on that. Curse immunity is also a thing. If you're curse immune outside of this, then you never have temporal chain, so you never can do this. That is very rare, but so reduced effect of curses. You don't need at all. You're basically curse immune. It doesn't brick you or anything like that, but yeah, just so you know. Now, one of the most common questions I get is why not cut chainbreaker and go rage on hit. It is a lot of investment, right, to basically go with this setup. At the end of the day, you get a lot out of Mana stacker anyway, so it's not really a big sacrifice at all, and you don't necessarily need your Mana. Rion would be nice, though, so your question could be why even go with

chainbreaker when we just got r on hit, and the simple answer is if you look here, you'll see only one hit every 0.5 seconds can cause you to gain rage. This means that your main skill basically has a 0.5-second cooldown. That means you only get two ballting strikes per second if you perfectly um click it, if you perfectly do it. Now, this feels a little bit awkward, I'm not going to lie, because if you hold down right click, you sometimes like start moving and stuff like that. I can't really explain it to you, you would have to play it yourselves. There are Berserker setups that do this though, and they have less investment into stuff like this, and that's totally fine if you think that is good for you. The reason I don't do this is because if I have an endgame build, I would rather sacrifice a little bit of power so it never feels awkward at all, right? As little buttons as possible and as little awkwardness. However, those setups still work and they

are totally valid. Uh, the biggest thing for me though is no out-of-combat play. If you think about, you pop an Essence, right? Like an eight-mod Essence. Uh, you can place down stuff before there's an expedition, there's a legion, there's a rich, there's so many instances where you want to pre-play, there's a strong box, so many mechanics want you to pre-play, there's a boss, right? Being able to pop down 15 V lightning strikes before your encounter is ridiculous. It feels like cheating, and I would never want to miss it. Now, next up, let's talk about performance. A lot of people are fearful of this build because of performance. You see streamers, they have no B rate, and you think they're probably lagging out or something. From my personal experience after doing some of these steps, the reason why it looks blurry is because of bit rate, not because I'm lagging or anything. So, for example, I will show you right now. I will place down as many V lightning strikes as I need to. Let me

quickly put everything on. I just yep all right so for six seconds these last right so I can just keep spamming it keep spamming it keep spamming it. This is what happens right if you look at my FPS up top. I still have round about 60 to 70 right 60 to 70. This goes down to like 50 or 40 if I actually hit enemies depending on how many I hit. So you can definitely lag out don't get me wrong but if you have a decent machine which I don't know where that is you can do this. Also it never happens that you actually just like Perma like you usually move around and just place orps right like you don't want to get hit or whatever um but in general it is playable and here are some tips. First up this one is by void 21 who figured this out. He saw me on stream. I did an ultimatum and it had reduced projectile speed and all of a sudden I lagged even more right. I was

like what the hell is that, and he basically just big-brained that. Well, that would mean that increasing your projectile speed would also reduce lag, which turns out to be true. So if you are wondering why I'm using these tattoos right here with projectile speed and why the hell I'm going for long shot and this um projectile speed Mastery, that is why performance is damage in this build, right? So this is a big, big deal, and get those noes and those tattoos as soon as possible. Then mty XY, this is just for me. I don't know if this has to do with your setup. I don't know if this has to do with like your streaming or recording or anything like that. This is just for me, so this is not like me saying you should buy these, okay? Just straight up, Void Emperor has the best MDX for me. That is this one right here. It's also the most. I actually, the blue one is the mermaid on, is even more I caner, but you should never use that one anyways. But yeah, this

one is the best performance for me personally. The second best performance is actually no MTX at all. This is how it looks like. It looks like absolute dog. I don't know who redesigned this, but you're basically, I don't know, throwing like, I don't even know, donuts or something. So I don't know if you're fine with better performance, not buying the pink one, so your game can look like this. I mean, sure, go for it. Either way, no MTX is second best for me in terms of that. Vulcan is the third best, and this is the one that is the least eye cancer, and it also has still decent FPS. So it looks like this. I played this one for a while, and I really like it. I'm just kind of mixing things up right now, and the one if you care about your performance at all, unless you have like a really good computer, Meridon screws you up like this one will screw your eyes, and it will screw your PC. Now you can also downscale in options for this.

video. I actually turned this up, but I do this when I, for example, play off-stream and also sometimes on-stream. I don't actually know if this helps that much, but it helped a little bit, so you can kind of play around with this graphic setting and display settings in general. All this stuff could help, but I'm no expert, so I'm not going to you. There also have a good PC setup. Also don't know too much about it, but in general, hardware will help. You could call this the original pay-to-win build. Other than that, maybe there's some other stuff. Leave it down below in the description. I'll heart it if it's important, 'cause that is like the most annoying thing about this build. Now, next question you might ask is why this semi-mono setup. This setup works on a lot of different versions. You can use this on Berserker. You can use this on Slayer. You can even use it like Ellie did with poison on Pathfinder. But I'll just lay out why I went with Scion and um the

Mana setup in general. The first reason is Mana builds usually have a problem, and that's Mana recovery, especially if you convert all the Mana region to rage region. Now you don't have any Mana region anymore, and you can see that while I'm out of combat, I don't have any Mana. I don't necessarily need it other than whirling around, but whenever I hit something, I will actually Mona Leach, and Mona Leach is something that is missing from all the spellcasters. Mona Leach is ridiculous, especially since instant leech also works with it, right? So I have 10% instant Lee right here. That means I get 1% of Mana back whenever I hit something. That is ridiculous, right? With how often I hit with alling strike, you can imagine how my Mana basically fills back up every single time. So that's already a good start. We're in Attack Base build. It fixes your Mana region naturally now since you need a lot of Mana region with chainbreaker. A lot of builds have to do weird stuff like for

example, and I kind of did this as well, but a big thing is you might have to sacrifice a ring with Shadron Revelation. The problem with that is that means you can't run Nemis, so it's kind of like a nice thing early, but Nemis almost doubles your damage, which you don't necessarily need, but more damage also means less lag, so that's pretty cool. Stuff dies faster, but in general, one ring is always taken by Rot Blood Promise, so this just kind of makes it awkward. So yeah, having a big monopol already means you start out with a lot of region. It fixes flat damage. This is a big one because you need to socket your V Lightning Strike into your dagger because of the enchant, which makes it so you kind of want to use Squire and then extra links, but what you lose by that, unless you have an insane mirror dagger, is you lose a ton of flat damage, right? You have no flat damage from anywhere basically, but you can fix that, and one of the ways to fix that is first up

Arcane cloak right here on automation, which gives you a ton of flat damage. And then, as well as that, you get mind of the council, which gives you attack skills have added lightning damage equal to 6% of Maximum Mana. This means not only can you go single element with something like lightning penetration, it basically fixes your flat damage. As well as that, we have some Abyss sockets, which we're going to talk about in a second. We have really good overlap with flask nodes. If you look at where the best Mana nodes are, they are basically flask Mana nodes. We take dritic, right, uh, it's already a strong node, but if you also care about the Mana, it's just huge. And we go through Primal spirit, so there actually quite a bit of overlap. As well as that, if you're a Scion, you just have really efficient pathing. And since we have good overlap with flask nodes and Mana nodes, we are actually going for Scion. There's no need for us to go herend. We don't need any AOE. We don't really need any of

that we don't have any spell scaling. So, what we do is we take Pathfinder, which basically gives us Perma flasks, which is a big deal because that lets us fix our resistances with flasks, which is also a big deal. CU, as you can see, we almost have exclusively uniques, which would make resistances pretty awkward otherwise, especially if you're in a different setup and you don't have a mage blood. You're basically, you're screwed. This also lets us combine Pathfinder with Slayer, which just feels absolutely awesome with the extra over Leach. So, we kind of get the best of both worlds. Also, since we need a lot of points, we're traveling around quite a bit. Sound is just a natural choice. And at the end here, since we have our main skill in our weapon and our Shield, we have our body armor open, which leaves us open to stuff like choms, but also shroud of Del lightless. And since shroud of Del lightless is already so goddamn good, even if I wasn't maning, I would be using

this chest because Abyss Jewels are just so goddamn strong, especially because they can also fix a lot of your flat damage. It also gives percentage Max Mana, which once again with these flas notes, you get so much percentage Mana already. At that point, you might as well just do it right, like you might as well just go for it. These Jewels can give you Max life, Max mana, and then other stuff on top, like for example, flat damage, crit multi, or also increased attack speed, which is a big deal. Life, mana, and attack speed are probably the most important things here. We're also using a tech rods gaze, which gives us 200% increased crit chance on our main hand. So you should be looking for murderous iels to have at least five in total. Do not that Tech rods does count for to those five, so you only need four different ones. All right, I'll just real quickly show you a map now in case you're interested. I will put a regex Down Below in the description that I'm using for these.

Maps. It's not a tier 17 regex, so you have to look at the tier 17 mods yourself, but it is all tier 16 mods anyways. Um, so this one is a little bit scary, I guess, with the four additional projectiles. I hope it's going to be fine. Monsters have increased AOE. I'm going to do an Abomination because, um, doing a fortress map is obviously, uh, a little bit of a coward move, right? So I can actually show you some stuff. The build is not necessarily hanky or anything like that, uh, it relies a lot on leech and whatnot. It has some over-leech, so the most important thing when you go in. Actually, I should have shown this. Let me do another portal. Uh, when you go in, I press forbidden right of Soul Sacrifice, and that is for a reason. So when I press the skill, it means that I get hit, and if you have been hit recently, that means that you get extra regen because your Deen doesn't start, right? Because with

chainbreaker. The regen doesn't stop your Deen, so you're basically deing 10 versus whatever you're regening, right? But if you get hit, no matter by how little, with forbidden rate of Soul Sacrifice, it takes like a tiny amount of damage. You can immediately start it, right? So, for example, as you can see right here, if I don't press it, what will happen is it's pretty slow. It also presses our King cloak, and then once it gets to 25, it goes back to maximum. So, it can be kind of annoying, like this four or five seconds. So, we basically use this one when you go in, you just press it real quickly, boom, and now you can see, right? It's way, way faster. Okay, I'm real quickly going to do this. I'm just going to head to the boss. I'll just show you General mapping real quick. There's obviously some nasty mobs in tier 17s. So, as you will know, depending on how I don't know crazy or how

aggressively you roll it. It will be harder. It will be easier. This build can do everything in the game, like other than, I guess, I don't know, deep delving, whatever, anything that needs crazy amounts of defenses. It can, but I've basically been absolutely cruising on this, on whatever you do. So, let's maybe find the boss. As you can see, the Mona Leach is pretty ridiculous for Mona builds in general. Just put down a portal. I'm going to show you the boss real quick. Let's go in. You don't really have to press anything, so we're just going to go over there. I can pre-a few, then I release it, and it should be quite instantly dead. Here are the orbs. I might actually die here. I kind of up. No, we're fine. Okay, so dude spawns, and he should basically be deleted quite immediately. Yeah, there he goes. Now my, actually, I didn't see it in the recording. I don't know if my face went blurry, but yeah, this is how you

play the build. There's like basically no buttons. I even forgot to activate blood rage, and I would honestly tell you to not even use it a lot of the times if you feel like you have to loot a lot because the DJ is annoying and the energy Shield, right? We do also have a little bit of energy Shield just in case I missed that in the later parts of the video from Storm drinker. So, we have triple each. All right, so going over items: hate Forge Rod, BL promise, and chance of emancipation are necessary. You cannot play without these if you want to play this version of the build. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go back to the start of the video where I kind of explained the combo. Now let's get into the non-mandatory gear. So first off, the dagger. Now, I already put up a video on how I crafted this one. There's also other methods that you can do, like for example, SE K who did a recombinator. So, he did an 11 link.

dagger, which is incredibly hard to make and very expensive. So, unless you have like multiple hundred divines, I would not recommend it. But I will link it down below in the description because it is quite an upgrade to what I have here. I basically have a 10-link, so to speak, with square right. Square obviously means so 1, 2, 3 link, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 link, right? So, you get three supports, and then socketed skills deal 40% more attack damage, which is basically an extra link. Whether you get more attack damage or elemental damage with attacks doesn't really matter, although it will mean that you have to replace obviously the awakened Le damage with attacks in your setup. If you don't want to do super hard content, what you can also do is you can just literally awaken or up two of these mods together and then just take whatever you want. But in general, this is not a budget build, so why would you do that? I'm not really sure, but yeah. Squire, I don't

know just really, really strong. Obviously, gives us three extra links on your main skill. Mind of the Council gives us a ton of flat damage. Important to note here is that it actually gives you really good defense against lightning because 30% of lightning damage is taken from Mana before life. So, for anything that you take from lightning, you actually get a super juiced mind over matter with 40 plus the 30, right? So, that is very strong as well. Randomly, you could go lightning coil because of that. I didn't find it to be worth. If you don't want to go Shroud of the Lightless, I would definitely go for something like a Choms. Choms is huge as well. I don't know if Replica Choms is actually the right way to go about it. You would have to kind of figure that out yourself. But yeah, Shroud of the Lightless Abyss Jewels are massive for this build. We get a ton of Max life, Max mana, and also pen. Now, Foyble is replaceable if you don't run.

nemis. I don't know why you would because fo is just a really easy fix for your Mana recovery and all of that for your chainbreaker. But if you want to, you can also use a chevron's ring, which I don't know where I have it right now. I think it should be somewhere, maybe here. No, I don't really know. Chevron's Revelation. I'll put it on the screen. I had it earlier, but yeah, in general, you can do that as well. Then you don't have to run foyble, but you'll somehow have to figure it out. I'm actually not sure. There's probably other ways you could Mana region tattoos here, stuff like that. I don't really know. I think foyble is a no-brainer in this build. Crusader is really important. It gives you increased damage per maximum Mana, which is super good. It's the only anoint you should ever take. Then nemis is a super strong setup. It's the last upgrade I made. My next upgrade is going to be progenesis, which

I'm almost there, and then I have the boots, which you can use raches as sort of like a budget version, but this one is just, I don't know, like you really want that chaos res. It's super hard to cap your chaos res, as you can see right here. I'm even using an amethyst flask while I don't have progenesis. That's how important it is to me. I guess one more thing to note because nemis currently is really expensive. I played this build for a week without nemis. I did tier 17s without nemis. The damage is really overkill now. Nemis helps a lot because you don't have to reroll as many mods on tier 17s, so your damage goes up. Instead of like 100 million or 150 mill, it's hard to cal. You do like 300 mil, like whatever you do, double damage kind of. So it does help. It also helps against lag, but it is not necessary for the build. What you will have to do though is

replace awakened lightning penetration. I'll talk about that in the GM section. One quick thing to note as well is that you don't actually have to get as many attributes as you think you do because you have 25% reduced attribute requirement. Just don't forget about that. As for flask, we're using every rest FL possible. This would be AOG Genesis, and then I would get the increased evasion instead of, I don't know, maybe the increased crit chance. I don't even know if I need it at this point, or maybe the chance to avoid being stunned either way. But if you have a progenesis, you still want the evasion rating somewhere else on these flasks. Chance to avoid being shocked is really important because we're using storm shroud, which makes us ailment immune. Then we even get more L res here, and we get some crit on top. Like I said, if you're actually crit cap without it, I didn't check before this video, then you might as well replace this. As for Jewels, I'm using

murderous eye jewels that just give me life, Mana, some res, attack speed. Attack speed is super important to make the build feel good, right? Have good whing blade speed, life, Mana is obviously super, super good, and maybe a little bit of flat damage if you can find it. The tech RS gaze right here is very nice. If you don't want to use Tech Ro gate for whatever reason, you can also use cornered prey plus the Mastery. You will be bleeding enemies; you have so many hits, right? So you get the crit back right here, but this just straight up gives you 200% increased mainhand Critical Strike chance, which is just, yeah, very, very efficient. Then we have storm shroud, which gives us ailment immunity. And the way I did that is I have 21% chance to avoid being shocked from the tech Rod's gaze corruption. You can get this on any jeal corruption that you want. And then on top of that, I have the percentage chance to avoid being shocked during effect. So in total, you want to have 100%. You can also get this

on your boots. I didn't need to, but just so you know, it's also in Boots implicit, so yeah, can also get it there or just chance to avoid ailments also counts. I get 20% from here, obviously, but yeah, it just has to result to 100%. If you're not sure about it, you can in po go to Cals on the site. You go to alks, you scroll all the way down, you can go to other avoided, and you can see right here how much you have. As for Watchers, I got this one. That's the only reason I'm using Precision. You don't need any accuracy. It's only because of this Watcher's eye, and it gives me attack speed, crit multi, and then damage taken from Mana before life. If you do not have exactly this, obviously, then all you should be looking for is damage taken from Mana before life while Clarity, and then maybe some Vitality mod, maybe one of the Precision mods. You have so many G gem sockets open anyways. I don't even

know what to do with them, so you can play around with that. Also, very strong is gain maximum energy shield based on your mana, super strong. And then also another mod is mana recoup, could also be super nice. When you get hit, like out of combat, you're still restoring a little bit of mana, which lets you w around. And then for jewels that have a certain placement, first up we have lethal pride right here, which gives us chainbreaker. You're not going to have to break your bank on this one because we don't really have any notables. It's literally just for the keystone. There's not really any good positioning for this. The only node you're really hitting here is dynamo. So if you can get intimidated here, that's very strong. If you can get double damage, also good. You can also get good stuff here. For example, I could take this 5% chance to deal double damage, but I felt my HP was more important because I was doing tier 17s and also essences before, which can get super hard. So which

just kind of nice. Now, the biggest thing here is the Light of Meaning, 6% increase lightning damage per node in radius. This is ridiculous. You compare this on Aon with Unnatural Instinct, which basically means you allocate all of these points with a Natural Instinct, and then they overlap with the Light of Meaning, giving you all this 6% lightning damage that would usually be useless. Yeah, this combo is ridiculous, and you should definitely, definitely include it. Light of Meaning percentage lightning damage, ridiculous. It works on this build because we're not Triell, we're not Trinity, right? It is actually just a huge, huge damage upgrade. Now, you might be saying, Pal, why don't you put the Lethal Pride down here, then it would overlap with everything? Doesn't work like that for some reason. Reason Lethal Pride, this strength right here, overrides Light of Meaning, so they actually don't work together, just in case you're curious. Also, I guess a quick tip up here on Natural Instinct still touches these two nodes, which is an INT node and a DE node. You can tattoo these.

and it will just give you a little bit of extra. I almost forgot before we talk about gems. I already cut a little bit of a head but important to know. I have some gem slots open and I usually just throw random stuff in there because I don't really know how to use it. If you have any ideas, go for it. But the main reason you might be thinking, Why doesn't he use this? Why does he use that? The main reason is Chainbreaker gives everything a rage cost, every more multiplier, every mana cost multiplier will multiply the rage cost as well. So, it will screw with your combo a little bit. It will be annoying as hell. So, you don't want to do too much. Now, let's go into gems. So, first up, we have the B lighting strike with Pierce and Night Blade. Important to note, we don't get any Pierce from the passive tree and even if we did, right, we could annoy something. Four pierces is just incredible. So, that's why we're doing that and it's not a bad support per se.

uh night blade super strong now. I do put these in the Squire. Squire still gives 6 to 8% quality, so it kind of matters. You get a little bit of more increased damage, but it doesn't also really matter. Awakened lightning damage, obviously really strong. Lightning pen and awaken Elemental damage with attacks. Now, if you already have this one on your weapon or you don't have a nemis yet, then you have to put returning prod right here. The first one you would cut is awakened lightning pen, just so you know. The other ones are kind of just must-have. And we have whirling blades and FAS attacks. And this is where some of the most annoying stuff comes from because our Mana will actually go to zero if we have our canane cloak on. And if we have mind of the council, which takes 3e% of our Mana whenever we cast an attack skill, right? So, that's kind of annoying when you're out of committing with whirling blades, but you cannot

really put life here. If you put life here and you don't have really, really good region, it will actually screw with your belt. You can try it out yourself, but just so you know why I'm not using that, but you can experiment around with that. I guess a nice little touch is to put it in your Ha Forge because whenever you hit something, it gives you rage on hit with the level 30 rage support. It doesn't really mean much, but better than nothing. We have our automation with Arcane cloak, Arcane surge mod duration, right? Arcane surge is just there for the mana region in case you're wondering. More duration, I think in total we have like 66% uptime of Arcane cloak. Temporal chains goes here, so this one goes into the helmet. It doesn't really matter whatsoever, but the temporal chains needs to be in your rot blood promise and also needs to be turned on, obviously, just like automation blood rage right here, which um, yeah, just good gem Crosslink just to get over hurdles, forbidden rate of Soul Sacrifice.

once again, if you watch the map showcase at the start of the map, if you press it, you get hit, which gives you more rage per second, which is super, super strong. Uh, I'll put it here for now, and then we have Precision, which you should only be using if you have Watcher's Eye for it. Same goes for Vitality, by the way. Then you have Arrogance. You can actually play around depending on how much Mana to Life you have. There's kind of like a right ratio, right, with Mind over Matter. You can actually not go for Arrogance as well, and then Clarity is something you should probably be using either way. The rest of the sockets I'm currently just using to level Enlightens, whatever. I tried. It was always awkward with the rage cost, so yeah. If you figure something out, uh, definitely tell me. Maybe there's something cool I'm missing. Then let's go over Passive Tree. R Send Pathfinder is really important, so we have the flask uptime. Slayer is like a choice you can make. You

can do other stuff you can do artist, for example, and then you can use snipers Mark or whatever. It would be more damage, but you would also lose the over Leach, which I think is very comfy. It would give you in though, which would mean you didn't have to get an in roll from your boots, so maybe that's worth something to you. Other than that, once again, the light of meaning combo with un Natural Instinct. Do not put your lethal Pride down here; it will break your light of meaning. Other than that, be sure to kind of fix your rage cost, whatever you need. Maybe you need to unspec one more. Completely depends on your hate Forge role and maybe you're experimenting with other skills as well. Um, we definitely want the Noma teachings right here because we already get quite a bit of Max L reses from the um flasks, so it just synergizes very well. As well as that corrupted blood. If you already have this on one of your Jewels, obviously leave that one out. We need all the

maximum rage that I have on this tree. You need to have exactly 52 maximum rage as a silon. You start here at Ranger. You take all the Mana flask nodes. One with nature is not necessarily all that great. If you don't need the L res, you can actually unspec it. I have it so I'm a little bit overcapped, which is always nice. You don't need to go Essence necessarily if you, for example, get some Mona Leach from a jewel. And then you can also go wild hunger, gives you better over Leach. You can figure it out yourself. You just want the instant Lee 100%. You want the extra flask effect. One thing you can also do, and this is especially true if you're bossing or doing content where maybe one of your flasks might fall off. Now these three are always Perma, but the amethyst flask and the Jade flask are only up for like 80% of the time or so. If you're killing stuff, they're always up obviously, but uh, you can put uh, chance to gain a flash.

charge when you deal a crit strike, or you can also get that on a watcher side. Now then, as I talked about, if you're wondering about why I tattoo everything with projectile speed and why I take long shot and more projectile speed, it's because of performance. It will give you a lot more performance 'cause there's like the animation finishes faster, so there's less lightning strikes on the screen. All lightning strikes that is down here, we have wind up, which gives you power charges. Now you will get to 100, and then they will fall off again and stuff like that. I still found it helpful. At this point, I think I'm actually overcapped. I'll have to look into that a little bit. Feed the fury, it's just super strong. Do not take this if you don't have over Leach. It's another reason why we go for over Leach, just incredible, incredible note. 15% attack speed, 30% damage, and on the second one, what you want is actually a lightning damage cluster. This depends on how much energy Shield you have. If

you use, for example, Shadron Revelation. You have even more, but you want Storm Drinker. If you're wondering why I'm not taking Storm Drinker in front here with Scintillating Idea, it's because you can't get both in front, and I didn't want to cut Scintillating Idea because it's so goddamn strong. So, I just sacrificed the extra two points. Super important as well, tattoos. If you want to cap your res, you can use all the tattoos you want. We don't have much attribute requirements 'cause we have a Foyble, right? Remember that super, super strong. I didn't need it 'cause my gear is good, but I mean, honestly, you could just to all of these for fire is um. You could also tat these for cold res, I guess, if you want to, but you will lose performance with the projectile speed, and performance in this build is actually damage. If you have any points above 97 like I have here, uh, put them in the life circle right here so you also get the 6%.

increased lightning damage, or if you're level 100, you can remove this point and the two other points and take another Jewel. Other than that, I think um, so you might not need Dreamer. This is something you have to test out. It's also nice because your Whirling Blade costs a little bit less, but it doesn't really matter. It's just two points for 40 Mana region, which isn't great, but it exactly fixed everything I needed, and I couldn't. So, I could tat a little bit of Mana region over here on the nodes, but I needed the rest for Chaos Rest, so I'm actually capped. But this is something you'll have to play around with for thought. It's really good now. Obviously, you want the LA Mastery. Is there anything else to talk about in general tattoos? Obviously, over here, remember that these can also be tattooed if you just PA there, then re-spec again. Um, that's about it. Oh, I guess one more thing. Depending on how much chance to avoid being stunned, uh, you have

On your flask, you might have to tattoo one or two of these chance to void being stunned, so you actually stun immune. Also, if you don't have the points for Heart of Oak yet, maybe you're like level 93 or something, you might need to tattoo even more. But just know that these exist, and you can also check in PO once again if you're actually stun immune. As for leveling, I will link down below to a pretty OP leveling setup that people are using this league with spectral wolves and a level one Envy enchant. But basically, run smithing enchants are OP for leveling, just so you know. Another alternative, this is how I leveled, which is kind of cute. It's, uh, you can actually get a wand with level 10 fire burst on hit. I don't think I have it anymore. I think I did vendor it. It is a very cheap enchant, and this one has like 200 base damage or something at level one. It basically has a, it has a 1.5 second cool

down. Whatever you hit an enemy with, it will make a fiery explosion. It is glorious. Up to like level 40, level 50, and at that point, I basically went spark into storm brand, and then it just stayed storm brand because it felt so good. But you can experiment with whatever you want. This one will carry you through the early parts, and then you kind of carry with your later twink gear. I might make a video about this later. If so, I will also link it down below in the description. But yeah, that's about it. Hope you guys enjoyed the video. If you guys want to play this build, it will not exist next League, no matter whether Rune smithing and chance are still in the game or not. There is 0% chance this will exist. So if you want to play it, probably good time to do it right now. With that said, even if you guys can't afford the build, maybe you learned a little bit about rage, about V skills. A lot of these things have been around for a while. They have been played in the

past and whenever something pops up that gives you the chance to actually use these combos. It could be good again in the future. It will probably not exist in this form, but it's still something good to know in general. But that's it for me, and since I still don't have a slogan, see you next time. [Music]

Infinite Vaal Lightning Strike Scion - Crush Any Content & Your PC

Palsteron

The build utilizes V Lightning Strike as the main source of damage, with a unique setup that allows for infinite casting.

A semi-mono setup with mana leech and attack-based builds can effectively address mana recovery issues and enhance damage output.

The build focuses on the Arcane Cloak and Mind of the Council for flat damage and added lightning damage.

It utilizes Abyss sockets and overlaps flask and mana nodes, making the Scion a natural choice for efficient pathing.

The combination of Pathfinder and Slayer offers perma flasks and extra over-leech, while Abyss Jewels provide max life, max mana, and other crucial stats.

The build has minimal buttons and emphasizes not using Blood Rage frequently.

Essential items include Hate Forge Rod, BL Promise, and Chance of Emancipation, with a 10-link dagger being a non-mandatory upgrade.

Building a High-Impact Character with Eye Jewels and Unique Mechanics

Eye jewels are crucial for the build, providing life, mana, and attack speed, with a focus on critical strike chance and bleeding enemies for additional hits.

Storm shroud and other sources of shock avoidance aim for 100% immunity to ailments.

The combination of Lethal Pride and Light of Meaning offers a significant increase in lightning damage, while gem setups prioritize pierce and damage multipliers for maximum effectiveness.

Optimizing Gameplay with Skill and Passive Tree Setup

Using life in the build can disrupt belt mechanics, so it's advised to experiment cautiously.

The setup includes Arcane cloak for automation, Temporal chains for blood promise, and a focus on maximizing rage and flask uptime.

The passive tree emphasizes crucial nodes for maximum rage, overleach, and flask effect, while also incorporating projectile speed for better performance and power charge generation.

Using tattoos can help cap your resistances, and with a Foyble, attribute requirements are minimal.

It's important to balance points for life, lightning damage, and mana regeneration, while also considering stun immunity.

For leveling, consider using a wand with a fire burst on hit for early damage, and experiment with different skills to find what works best for you.
