BuffaloBaron's Notes

This Siege Cascade Tactician can comfortably take on T15+ maps and bosses using a fun and unique interaction to turn a slow bombardment skill into a rapidfire chain gun.

This is an evolution from my previous video, focusing more on how you can build it yourself. I have also transitioned to an ES hybrid defensive package and an automated Shard Scavenger trigger for mapping.
