Primarily a passive damage source triggered by expiring shadows. While not a core damage dealer, it contributes additional area damage and can apply chill when converted to Last Epoch gold cold.

Gearing Priorities

One of the strengths of this build is its relatively accessible gearing. You do not need perfect items to make it work, but correct stat priorities are critical.

Key Stats to Focus On:

Melee Attack Speed (top priority)

Throwing Damage

Critical Strike Multiplier (secondary)

Cooldown Recovery (for Smoke Bomb uptime)

Shadow-related bonuses

Attack speed is particularly important because it not only increases Shadow Rend frequency but also directly scales Shadow Cascade damage. Many players mistakenly prioritize critical multiplier, but attack speed provides a greater overall benefit.

Important Items and Synergies

Several item choices enhance the build significantly:

Shadow-generating gear and set bonuses increase your maximum shadow count.

Items that convert or boost Shadow Cascade provide massive damage scaling.

Cooldown recovery on boots and belts ensures near-constant Smoke Bomb uptime.

Relics and accessories that boost critical chance help cap your damage potential.

Additionally, idols that provide throwing damage and critical multiplier are extremely valuable, as they scale multiple parts of cheap Last Epoch gold your damage simultaneously.
