Righteous Fire Chieftain: Tips for League Starting and Campaign

Chieftain's top tip is stacking Fire Res for easier gearing, using Harvest to swap resistances, and leveraging specific uniques for sustain and damage.

### Top 5 Tips for Righteous Fire Chieftain (League Starting and Campaign)
* 🔥  Chieftain's ascendancy simplifies gearing by allowing you to stack **Fire Resistance** and later **Maximum Fire Resistance**, saving affixes and making gearing easier for both new and experienced players.
* 🔄  Utilize resistance swapping on gear using Harvest crafting to **convert unwanted resistances into Fire Resistance**, allowing you to **optimize gear more easily**.
* 🎚️  Recommended uniques for campaign include **Kaom's Sign for sustain**, **Pyre for damage**, **Rise of the Phoenix for max res**, **Immortal Flesh for life and regen**, and **Dawnbreaker for endgame**, with **Rise of the Phoenix being an early purchase for most builds**.
* 💪  Check your damage tooltip in the campaign to evaluate upgrades, as RF is a damage over time skill that doesn't require factoring in **attack speed, crit, or penetration**, making the tooltip a **reliable indicator of damage increases**.
* 🔴  Elevate your clear speed with **Ignite proliferation mechanics**, either on gloves or other gear, to **spread ignites and increase AoE damage**, especially effective in **dense maps**.
* 🔨  Use simple scepter crafting tips, such as using **Deafening Essences of Fear** to guarantee a high damage roll, then unveiling **Fire Damage Over Time Multiplier** to create a strong scepter for RF, making it a **cost-effective option for early and mid-game**.

why hello and welcome everybody. Also, good morning. So today, I wanted to go ahead and talk about my top five tips and tricks for Righteous Fire Chieftain, primarily for uh League starting, and a lot of this kind of also has to do with the campaign. So the first one I want to go ahead and jump right on into is one of the nice things about Chieftain is all you have to do with this ascendancy is stack Fire Res and later on maximum Fire R. Um, so an example of how this looks is when you get this ascendancy, salow cleansing water and voloco storms embrace. You look at my Max res here. By removing voloco storms embrace, you can see my cold and lightning immediately shoot down. This is because this node makes it so they actually are essentially being capped at your Fire Res. If your max Fire Res is 90, then you can actually easily achieve 90 Colden lightning with BOS. And then salow cleansing water. You look at this, my res

went from positive on the cold to it's still positive, but 55%, and the lightning is now - 46 if I P or plug that in goes all the way to ca and then overcap for like Elemental weakness, and you know for monsters that can actually shred your res. So this is an incredibly powerful uh not just for League star, but also because it saves you affixes on your gear, so it makes gearing easier for newer players, and for experienced players it allows you to kind of pick and choose your affixes uh to be a bit more Niche right okay one of the other things on top of that is also being able to resistance swap on your gear so I'm going to give an example of what that means really fast uh let me go ahead and just kind of I'm just going to kind of like um oh actually I just realized this is a fractured piece okay let's go ahead and Al this sometimes you can these can get resistances or actually better yet I have another

idea let's go to the Harvest bench. We're just going to do like reforge fire and see if we get Fire Res. Okay so you see how this has fire res and lightning res. So the bottom one imagine this did not have Fire Res and it only had lightning res. You would actually be able to change a modifier that grants uh lightning res into fire for Life Force DDR. You can also change cold and lightning into fire uh vice versa. You can change maximum resistances on Shields unless they change that. I could be wrong. So this is a nice tool for being able to like buy gear or maybe you find good gear but like it has the wrong resistance. You can use Harvest and swap it over. So this is a very nice tool. Okay next up we've got uh uniques that I would recommend. So I put a little uh paint document here of them. These are the main ones you would use in the campaign. I was trying to buy them but standard buying is just crazy right now since everything is in standard kiseru.

is basically a ring that gives you a crap ton of sustain, and there's probably like 400 other uniques I could list, but these are the most notable for me. This gives you three life regen per level, so it scales with you and is incredibly powerful, while also giving you all attributes which can help with int and dex requirements. And then of course, reduced effect of curses is just good in general. Py ring, on the flip side, is pure damage. You can see the really high amount of burning damage on it, and it's very low level. So both of these you could pretty much start when you run RF. So that's what makes these so nice at low level. Now, Py ring, I think could screw you over at late game when you're trying to explode chain, but that's not really... you don't do that in the campaigns, that doesn't matter. Next up would be Rise of the Phoenix. It's typically one of my first purchases, even though this league we're going to be pivoting into a blockbase setup when

you're not 90. Max res rise of the Phoenix can help you out a lot. And also just this sheer amount of recovery on the shield can help fix a lot of early game problems. Speaking of recovery, that moves us on to Immortal flesh. Immortal flesh is solely made for life and life regen. You can see here also the minus 45 physical damage taken from Attack hits is actually very nice. Um, so all of these together, this is a fantastic belt. You do have to deal with a minus res on it, but usually you're fine with chapon cuz you stack a bunch of res anyway, right? So these are them. The last one would be Dawn breaker, but Dawn breaker is typically a lot more expensive than these on League start since Dawnbreaker is gated behind xar as a drop, and these are all just Global can be found basically in the campaign. Okay, we're going to close out of that. Next up would be a way to decide or check your damage. So with righteous Fire, it's actually totally fine to check.

your tooltip when you're in the campaign there are there's an argument to be said for later, but it's not really relevant. Basically, the reason why people tell you typically not to check tooltip is with most builds you have to factor in attack speed, cast speed, Critical Strike chance, penetration, lowering res, all of this stuff does not apply to the tooltip correctly. Crit might um with RF, we don't have to worry about that. We just are pretty much scaling damage over time. It always ticks at the same rate if that makes sense, and we don't have the ability to Sock It in penetration or lower res. Lower res is typically not even relevant for Chie then at all because of our ascendency. So there's nothing wrong with looking at a weapon in the campaign, right? Looking at your damage and saying, Oh, my RF does 800k. I put on this new weapon and now does 1 million. That's an easy way to identify what upgrade is better for you at the time, and honestly, it works all throughout the game for quite a while so.

all you got to do is look at deals x amount of fire damage per second on RF, and then when you're looking at fire trap, you want to look at the deals fire damage per second. It's important to note that when you're looking at fire trap's damage, you also want to make sure your righteous Fire is active, as it gives you a big spell damage multiplier. When comparing damage, the last thing is making sure your life tap is active, so I typically just Shield charge in place to get my life tap proc. That's because if you don't have the life tap buff, you're not actually receiving the damage. Okay, next up elevate your clear with Ignite proliferation mechanics. So, ignite proliferation is typically what we go for, either on gloves. So where it says fire damage overtime multiplier, you could have this modifier located right here, which is ignites you inflict spread to other enemies within a radius. The radius part doesn't matter as much, you just want the ignites you spread, ignites you inflict spread to other enemies.

an example of how this looks if I were to go pop in a toxic sewer map really fast. So I have a map tab here, am I blind? I think that I might be blind, not going to lie. All right, we'll just go run a Caldera, this is fine. We'll go run actually this one's good. Actually, that's a T12, yeah, we'll just go run this. Uh, yeah, that looks good. He also disabled Herald of Ash there. So essentially what happens here is when you kill the pack, you see this. You see these circles, see how the mobs died, revived, and then died again. That's the ignite proliferation mechanic. So again, see these, see this like little circle here. It's kind of hard to tell. I need like a bigger pack. I can. I don't know if we have big density in this map. Let's see. Okay, here you can see them. They spawn and then see how like all these circles here are just killing all the monsters. These are actually close to these are multi-million damage ignites.

and the reason that we need ignite here ignite chance is because the tendency right here hur's death Fury when we explode on the 5% 5% is not very common right so when it explodes you want to make sure that the explode is rolling your ignite chance. You can do this by just simply getting ignite chance on the tree um and then that explode is creating the puf foration, and that puf foration is so strong because like say you're fighting a boss and you get an explode right next to the boss you missed, but if you have a proliferation you can just pull the boss two steps down and then it will just disintegrate from the ignite right. This is definitely one of the really big things for boosting your clear speed. Also the more dense your maps are the thicker your maps are the more noticeable the ignite proliferation is going to be once you start mapping, and you're in like like white Maps you might not notice it being very special because there's not enough

density yet same with this content. There's not enough density yet, but once you have big density, the ignite Fifer really is the number one thing, I'd say, you can do to elevate your clear with the build. Okay, next up would be simple scepter crafting tips. Now, scepter crafting is always an issue with righteous Fire and doesn't really have anything to do with righteous Fire. It's more so that crafting damage over time sceps can be tricky because there is no such thing as an Essence for fire damage or Elemental damage. It's spell damage. Our build doesn't work with spell damage, so here it well fire trap does, but RF doesn't. Here's a nice way to do this on on the tree. We take this note called spiritual Aid. In my super late game versions, I don't run it, but in the campaign and stuff and even into early mapping, you're still running this. You can go ahead and buy a singular deafening essence of fear. Probably cost you a couple chaos, but it guarantees an 83 to 94% increased damage.

roll this is equivalent to a n basically an 80 to 90% fire roll. So if you click this on a sepor right you see how my scepter now has 88% minion damage on it. What you can do is you can do this until you get a suffix open. So see now how I had 94% minion damage with a suffix open. If you do the Betrayal League mechanic and you unveil you can actually unveil fire damage overtime multiplier. I now with two Essences and four C just crafted myself basically a 30% Elemental damage with 94 minion which is equivalent to 94% fire damage with a damage overtime multiplier roll. This literally took me 10 K and this is a starting weapon you can use up until you get a fractured base so very very solid. Anyway that's pretty much about it hope you guys enjoyed the video if you did don't forget to like share and subscribe and don't forget you catch me streaming live every day but Sundays although this
