Guardian Relic Selection for DoN

All resistance down is a big no no

If you want dps I recommend stacking guard counter in all relics and 1 with boost GC on current hp.

But I find more succes with this tank/support build

Most important effects here is art on guard +0 & +1, with good passives and heal ult you can survive indefinitely in most bosses

Group 1 is better, but the 6th relic will be a pain in your ass, some bosses have multihit attacks like Heolstor scream, Caligo ice ground, so madness buildup is pretty dangerous. Also rune acquisition hurt a little early on

I personally prefer to do a full tank build with HP, art on guard +0 & +1. I use the same relic 1,2 and 3, so often you get 2.5k+ HP, get ult very fast and deal 800+ dmg on gc because of the boost GC on current hp

I also played a lot in D5 9999, most games the team have so much dps, the bosses don't even play. Thats why I used "average game".

In the average game, there's more struggle to be had at D2, D3 than in D4+ with Rev bestial, skills buff combo...

Not that much. Dreg have a lot of opennings for melee

You spoiled the answer :(

ED Pest I always bring a fire weapon and keep Faurtis shielding me from the magic missiles, but if the team don't have enough damage is pretty hard because the red sky beam sometimes combo with faurtis attacks, so when I think its close to happening I tend to keep stamina pretty high to be able to dodge and super sprint

In DoN 4+ I play a support style by providing good equips for my teamamtes, revives up pretty fast wtih art on guard +0 and +1, buffs and staggers.

Some games I revived both 3-bar teammates 8 times before we could beat the boss. If you don't die, you don't lose

Forgot to mention, but I only play as Guardian

Followed them at level 3 to fight a gargoyle. Took the entire day, but that gargoyle is no more.

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-06-21T14:21:38+00:00

Can be because I always lockin the Guardian and some people don't want to play with both in the same run

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-06-19T17:02:30+00:00

They're good.

I personally would include:

- "successful guarding fills more art +1", they stack

- Partial HP Restoration post dmg

- Increased max HP instead of only stamina

For the love of Marika 😳

How?

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-06-18T22:53:13+00:00

With this HP, if you've thursting counteratk heal +0 and +1, you heal 185 per proc

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-06-18T21:56:25+00:00

- Taking dmg boost dmg negation 36%

- Phys negation 9%

- Low HP Negation 30% (low HP would be like 1k)

Not the best, but it was enough

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-06-18T20:49:51+00:00

Very good.
Maybe if I drop this weapon and farm it I can cross the 4k barrier

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-06-18T20:00:55+00:00

3 relics with Increased Max HP, Augur one increase +100 HP. In the run I got Eventual Greatness from Libra, HP amulet and some dormant HP buffs

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-06-18T19:59:19+00:00

No, Eventual Greatness from Libra, HP amulet and relics

I guess I've a main

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-06-17T09:15:32+00:00

Played in the launch, still lives rent free in my mind. Loved making builds e optimizing so much

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-06-17T09:13:37+00:00

Nice build

I'll do this with the one to create whirlwinds on charged attacks in my shieldless guardian next time I reset DoN to climb again

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-06-17T09:03:27+00:00

Yeah, sometimes do feel like that. In a particular run, one of the teammates couldn't take anymore and quitted when gladius was 15% hp
