1 divine challenge - Holy Relic Vall Flicker

Decided to try out 1 divine challenge for my holy relic vaal flicker.

Since I have nothing to edit videos, and frankly the performance patch made me lose 90% of my frames – there is only a showcase – the shopping will be in text.

Additional comments:

The rest of the gems you can buy from Lili. Better yet from acts. But even the ones I bought can be hand leveled and thus are very overpriced. You can save a lot of chaos orbs by not buying those.

Playing it on such a tight budget and gem limitations feels pretty bad. But, it still gets the job done and fairly tanky. And it would get at least two times better if you level the gems that I kept at lvl 1 for the test/fairness purposes.

Also I did not include Animate Guardian (because I don't want to overwrite my Kingmaker) - having him would add a lot to comfort. His gear should average on 5 c buget giving you ailment immunity and extra damage.
