ItFightsBack's Notes

A fresh leveling run of a caustic arrow raider including as many tips as I could think of as I went. I have leveled this build around 10 times in the past 2 leagues and it will be my league starter build in the 3.14 Ultimatum league.

The guide goes from act 1 to act 9 where I would then farm Imperial Legacy divination cards for a 6 link Imperial Bow that will carry the build into endgame. I go into extensive detail on how to optimize farming for the bow in the foothills as I have done so an absurd number of times.

The run was not perfect but I showcased a great number of things that are very valuable in leveling this build. Such as the effectiveness of dash over smoke mine in evading attacks, and the usefulness of toxic rain totems to supplement boss damage.

A further guide will be coming shortly on how to scale the build into endgame.
