It's a WIP update to this build built around animate guardian, just with the AG unsummoned in the video so we can watch Larin, the Artist go ham.

Edit: Ok I will spill some beans.

POBs:

Champ

Merc

Summary of tech used for the merc:

  • Replica Dreamfeathers + Formless Flame for lots of generic damage
  • Soulthirst for infinite soul eater (with Ceinture of Benevolence he is under flask effects, but never uses flasks)
  • Enmity's Embrace + a lot of fire res stacking (reaches the cap of 200 pen)
  • Untouched Soul with lots of empty white sockets to get lots of fire res :)

Normally I play with both the AG and the Merc together. Merc soloing is just for fun.
