Reflexes Lightning Build

This guide details the Reflexes Lightning Build, centered around the Reflexes skill. This build scales by stacking critical chance and projectile buffs, converting damage to Lightning, and leveraging defensive and mobility skills to maintain constant close-range pressure. It’s ideal for both single-target focus and group clearing.

Build Overview

By converting this physical damage to Lightning and stacking critical strike chance and projectile buffs, you create a consistent, high-damage output that is effective while moving. Closed Body provides defense, while Shadow Dash and Slow Time ensure mobility and crowd control.

Defensive Weaving: Use Closed Body for defense, allowing incoming hits to trigger retaliatory explosions.
Strategic Mobility: Utilize Shadow Dash to create space or quickly reposition, ensuring your knives remain in range.
Reroll Priority: During your runs, frequently reroll to prioritize relics that improve projectile count and critical synergy.
Damage Type Matching: Always match your main damage skill (Reflexes) with relics and blessings that scale the same damage type (Lightning, after conversion).
