Hello Exiles! Today I’m breaking down my Retaliation Elementalist for the 3.28 Mirage League. We are pushing 20,000 Energy Shield using Ephemeral Edge to scale massive Lightning Ignites. With a permanent 65% Shock cap and Convergence for screen-wide AoE, this build deletes T16 8-mod corrupted maps while being nearly unkillable.

In this video, I’ll show you how to start for just 50c, how to level with Reave/Eviscerate, and exactly when to make the big swap to Chaos Inoculation.
