Intro

Hi, it's me again. I'm currently working on a SSF run begins around 4-5 days ago. So this is actually the ep4. of my mine aura stacker sabo but a SSF version. Ah shit here we go again.

Somehow just want to prove a minion saboteur is viable even in SSF environment. So far I've got 3 voidstone and I think dmg is really really good and defense layer on current gear is sufficient enough for mapping with 2-3K wisp. QOL of this playstyle is somehow a little bit clunky but it is okish in trade of such good dmg with such low investment imo.

Pros

1. Cheap & good dmg from mine aura of added fire dmg & increased dmg taken from pyroclast mine of sabotage and stormblast mine, respectively.
2. MA of Bombardment clears really well and clone could be placed a screen away, makes it really safe for some urgent situation.

Cons

1. Playstyle is somehow clunky
2. Required some defence layer to feel smooth

FAQs

Q1. Atlas passives?
A1. Essence, harvest, and some influence map nodes. Could take some deli nodes for farming mid minion life cluster.

Q2. Any required gear or recommendation?
A2. March of legion with +5up would be huge upgrade for dmg. A mid cluster of minion life for "blessed rebirth" node for clone survivability. Weapon is just a regular ele bow. Base dmg aims for mapping but less important for bossing due to the huge added dmg from pyro mine.

Q3. Is BAMA CDR mastery necessary?
A3. Low priority. MA of bombardment has maximum clone number and has very long based duration of 20s. However, it could be handy if u want to fully maintain the fresh meat buff.

Q4. Future upgrades?
A5. Will keep refining gears for better res and suppression and will introduce icicle mine of sabotage for crit chance enhancement. A large minion cluster is also taken into consideration.

Pls feels free to any question! Since this is not a traditional minion ascendancy, any inquiry or suggestion could be appreciated!
