SoloHood's Notes

RITUALIST • SELF-HIT CHARM ENGINE | Flicker Strike Power-Charge Factory PoB: 👉 https://pobb.in/k4wNssqlievB

Patch: 0.3 (Ritualist, Charms, Flicker)

Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:37 Disclaimer 1:30 Main tech 1:48 Main loop 3:25 Start a map 4:15 Build is squishy 4:40 Lightning res tuning 5:20 3 charges for the price of 1 6:10 Ritualist is a must 6:39 Freeze immunity 7:18 T16 Map 8:34 Outro 9:16 Xesth Lv1

What this build does

Self-hit on skill use (Scold’s Bridle) → a slice becomes Lightning (Catalysis) → Valako’s Roar fires and gains a charge every couple of seconds. Resonance converts Frenzy → Power, and Serpent’s Egg double-counts it → effectively 3 Power charges per proc. Bijouborne shortens Charm duration so it re-arms fast.

Skills (simple plan)

Movement / primer: Tempest Flurry (use like a movement key to spend mana and start the engine)

Mapper / core: Flicker Strike (consumes the Power charges you keep printing)

Panic / cleanup: Falling Thunder (when Flicker stalls or you’re surrounded)

Crucial tunings (don’t skip)

Lightning Resistance rule: keep ~20% base so with Valako’s Roar +25% you sit around 45–49% while active. Micro self-hits must stay ≥1 damage or the Charm won’t trigger.

Freeze immunity: stack Reduced Freeze Duration to 100% (radius jewel + boots).

Charm cadence: aim for –50% Charm effect duration on the belt.

Mana sustain: Ritualist – Mind Phylacteries lets Charms fire when empty by paying 25% max mana; pair with “Recover % Mana on Charm use.”

Credits & notes

Big shoutout to the original theorycrafters who pioneered the self-hit Charm → Resonance → Serpent’s Egg tech. This video is a showcase, not a step-by-step guide to follow.
