Core Ability

Repeater

Essential Relic Synergies

These specific relics are crucial for maximizing the Repeater Build’s potential:

• Fire Damage Conversion:

  Tip

  Relic Effect: A relic that converts the Repeater ability’s damage to Fire damage.

  • Benefit: This changes your ability’s damage type, making you more effective against fire-vulnerable enemies and potentially creating synergies with other fire-focused relics or buffs.

• Grenade Drop Chance:

  Tip

  Relic Effect: A relic that grants a chance to drop grenades when you kill enemies.

  • Benefit: Provides additional AoE damage, helping you clear groups of enemies faster. This is invaluable in crowded rooms.

• Plague Explosion:

  Tip

  Relic Effect: A relic that causes enemies killed by Repeater to explode, dealing Plague damage.

  • Benefit: Significantly boosts Repeater’s AoE capabilities. It creates chain reactions upon enemy kills, dealing additional Plague damage to nearby foes, which is vital for rapid room clearing.

• Mana Cost Reduction:

  Tip

  Relic Effect: A relic that reduces the Repeater’s mana cost, for example, by 16%.

  • Benefit: Allows you to use Repeater more frequently and makes mana management much easier. This is critical in sustained fights or high-attack-speed setups.

Supporting Abilities

• Slow Time:
  • Description: If you can find relics that grant bonus damage to enemies within a “Slow Time” field, this ability can be a fantastic support for your Repeater Build.
  • Synergy: It allows you to slow down enemies while simultaneously increasing the damage they take from your Repeater, enhancing both control and offensive output.

• Mana Management: Thanks to mana cost reduction relics, you should experience fewer mana issues, allowing for continuous Repeater usage.
• Fast Clearing: This build excels at quickly eliminating groups of enemies, enabling faster progression through dungeons.
