SparkyKB's Notes

Crouching Tuna’s Fulcrum Chieftain is amazing in this league. I don’t juice maps too much, but still divs drop almost as frequently as another map, and bubblegum currencies drop like candy.

As I started the build on a budget, I had many problems that almost made me give up on the build. Here are some tips that might help you:

​

Charms/Jewels: Explode mods are BiS, but they are too expensive now. You can pick 6% increased Area of Effect per Endurance Charge instead. You will feel mapping is way smoother instantly. 6% is very important here if you are going to stack endurance charge like me.

Crit Immune: You must have crit immune somewhere. The easiest way is 50% from body armor and another 50% from Watcher’s Eye jewel.

Endurance Charge: You can easily stack endurance charge for more tankiness. You can get one from boots and another one from Unflinching Forbidden Jewel. You can easily get 7 endurance charges in total.

Stun Immune: Take Unwavering Stance.

Defiance of Destiny Amulet: I found this is very important in this build. Get the cheapest one and try a few divs for a better roll (ignore resistance). Don’t forget to put a life catalyst on it for 20% quality. I don't think it is not that synergizes well with petrified blood. I dropped petrified blood.

Medium Cluster: Tuna is using jewels with Assert Dominance and Towering Threat, but they are quite expensive. You can get a jewel with Titanic Swings and Towering Threat instead. They are less than 50c. Also, you can easily craft them.

Tankiness: The build concept is investing little to damage and most to defense, so you can tank almost anything in juiced maps. If you have some spare skill points, invest them to defensive layers such as increased armour, life and recoupe life nodes.

​

Farming Strategy

Expedition: You must farm Expedition since it generates a lot of mobs, and you can clear them all in a few seconds. Just pick Extreme Archaeology from the Atlas skill tree and put a rusted scarab.

Abyssal: The Gilded scarab is too expensive, but you must use at least a polished one.

Bestiary: Beasts drop divs quite often, and it is very cheap. If you have some spare Atlas points, take Natural Selection, Hunt for Craiceann, Great Migration, and Big Game. You will get Craicic Chimeral quite often.

Beyond: It is almost mandatory for farming. Just take all radius nodes and take Endless Tide to block the boss. You can choose this from map crafting for 5c.

Delirium: Currently, the Delirium compass is too expensive. You can take a couple of `chances to contain` Atlas nodes instead. I feel like I see Delirium once every four maps.

Map Mods: You must avoid the cannot regen life mod. You don’t need to worry about any reflect mods. Alchemy orb is really cheap. You can reroll the map until it has at least 80% quantity.

Sextant: You can use Players and Monsters take 12% increased *** Damage for all four stones.
