hey guys, Rich is here with the day three and four quick update for my Shockwave Totem Scion runner build. In this video, I want to talk about the improvements I made to my build, and I also share a few tips for early Scion runs. So first, I bought the L-All Affection body armor for around 4.5 Divine, and I corrupted it. It was risky, but then I made it a five-link at the bench crafting station with Vaal orbs and fusings. Yeah, and added one more link with a 50% chance using Tainted Orb of Fusing. So, it worked on the third try, which was anyway cheaper than buying a six-link directly. And now I have three green and three red sockets in the body armor. And I replaced one support gem from last video, so I mean I removed Elemental Penetration and added in Power Level 3, and it's really boosting my damage to 27 million with six totems. Now I also upgraded my shield from the last time, which now has plus one to the number of totems in

addition to this, I increased reservation efficiency, making it much easier to kill bosses in the level 83. Then I leveled up my character a bit and added another medium class to jeble in my passive tree for crits. I also bought the balance of Tor unique Jewel, which grants 39% of physical damage as random elements if you have caused Elemental weakness before. So about my curs, is now to make this Jewel work, I need to self-cast Elemental weakness. Therefore, I have aony brand linked with frostbite, assassin's Mark, and Punishment. And I self-cast Elemental weakness and temporal chains manually. Yeah, in total, I use five curses, but we only need to apply them to floor bosses. So it's very simple. Currently, my builds can comfortably farm level H3 sanum, and I'm starting to buy necessary relics. I have six relics with one additional Ral sh and one big Relic with increased quantity of relics drop. So in the future, I plan to have all relics.

with two additional re DRS, except one with duplicate rewards. So with two duplicates, I will not update my items much until I buy relocation imp patience. And then we will see what I will do. So on the skill tree, you can always buy better R jewels and watch your eye for more damage if you want. So this chip build is like 15 divines now. It's almost complete. So now I want to give a few tips for early sanum progression. First, don't rush the sanum level. If you like damage, I mean it's better to run level 75 sanctum without dying than to aim for level 83 and die frequently. Second, Divine orbs don't drop in the first two floors. So your goal should be like to get as few afflictions as possible rather than focusing on rewards. Next one, if you like damage against bosses or guards, so you can buy cheap Rel that increase damage. And I did it actually. So in the beginning, also I want to talk a bit about the worst afflictions to avoid for any build in sanum. So the worst

afflictions are rewards are unknown on the sanum map because this actually the purpose of running sanctum for divines and yeah to take divines we need to see them also lose 10 resol when you use a flask. It's very reapy Affliction because early in the league you will not have enough damage to kill bosses and guards without flasks. Next B fliction is 40% reduced movement speed is very impact effectful and can cause death especially in luci's thir phas when she uses the beam around the room. You might not be able to outrun it and die instantly. I mean traps are faster makes it much harder to clear trap rooms so yeah it's better to avoid this Affliction as well. Uh traps impact 100% increase resolve means just one trap hit will make you lose most of your resolve so yeah avoid this Affliction too. These are probably the worst afflictions. Yeah you can comfortably handle all other afflictions if you're not an Ubie and you're just

familiar with this mechanic regarding room types. Like where the boss will be, where the exit trap rooms are, and where you need to kill guards. Here's the picture with all floors names and room types. Memorize it and run the easier rooms unless there is a good reward in another room. From my experience, the best rooms on the first two floors are definitely find the exit ones, while on the S and Forest floors, it's the kill guards. I have a more detailed guide on sanum on my channel, and I'll probably make another one later. However, what I have shared in this video should be enough. And thank you for watching this short video update, guys. I hope you find it useful or interesting. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel, my twitch, leave likes to get the next video out faster, and leave comments. It was r as always, see you in s and see you soon. Bye.

Rich's Updates to Shockwave Totem Scion Runner Build

Rich made significant improvements to his Shockwave Totem Scion runner build, including upgrading his body armor and shield for more totems and damage.

He also adjusted his passive tree for increased critical strikes and added a unique Jewel for additional elemental damage.

With these upgrades, his build can now comfortably farm level 83 zones and collect the necessary relics for future plans.

Tips for Progressing in Sanum and Building a Chip

It's important not to rush the Sanum level and focus on staying alive to avoid frequent deaths.

Divine orbs don't drop in the first two floors, so it's better to focus on minimizing afflictions rather than rewards.

Investing in cheap Relics that increase damage can be beneficial for fighting bosses or guards and it's important to avoid the worst afflictions for any build in Sanum.

Afflictions in Sanctum can have a significant impact on gameplay, such as losing 10 resolve when using a flask, experiencing a 40% reduced movement speed, and facing a 100% increase in resolve loss from traps.

These afflictions can make it challenging to kill bosses, evade attacks, and clear trap rooms, ultimately affecting the overall gaming experience.

Memorize the room types and floor names for easier navigation and better rewards.

Focus on finding the exit rooms on the first two floors, and prioritize killing guards on the S and Forest floors.
