Build Guide

It is a channeled melee skill that allows you to project an illusion and steer it with your cursor.

• Steerable Projection: While channeling, you project an illusion that you can steer with your cursor.
• Frequency of Pulses: Waves of area damage pulse along the illusion's path. These pulses occur frequently and are scaled by your attack speed.
• Stages: You gain stages as the illusion moves, up to a maximum distance (roughly 62 units).
• Release Damage: Stopping the channel releases the illusion and deals a final wave of damage.

In the Mirage League, this skill is being highlighted as a strong choice for players looking for high-clear-speed builds that don't require stopping to attack. It can be effectively paired with new mechanics like the Reliquarian Ascendancy or mana-stacking shells for high survivability and damage.

Scaling

• Movement Speed: Indirectly allows for faster "cast" cycles by increasing how quickly the illusion moves.
• Area of Effect: Benefits from AoE bonuses but notably does not benefit from weapon range bonuses.
• Dual Wielding: You alternate weapons for each pulse.
