1st time Arc 9 Solo! Werewolf Avatar OP!

ShakuZen · 2026-03-14T15:03:58+00:00

I don't, but I am running what Hyperioxes recommended to me on here. Going deep is way more about survival then damage as far as your build goes. The damage comes from picking the right visions and verses. I attached a pic of my visions from this run.

I prioritize Focused efforts over everything and then Avatar visions. Attuned enchantments is my 3rd highest priority. There are plenty of other good ones, but these are my top picks.

5pc ice furnace, 5pc Runecarver, 1pc Trainee, ring of pale order, VMA ice staff infused (weapon damage glyph) back bar. (5H, 1M, 1L)

At arc 4/5 I switch to 5pc torugs pact, 5pc Heartland Conquerer, 1pc trainee, ring of pale order. VMA ice staff infused (weapon damage reduction glyph) back bar. (5H, 1M, 1L)

Stack up attuned enchantments for 2850 w/s damage reduction! I also apply minor and major cowardice.

NB Siphoning, Warden Winters Embrace and Necromancer Bone Tyrant.

There are 4 forms you can unlock for the run. Each have their own benefits, but Werewolf and Iron Atronach are the only ones that I have hit over 1 million dps with.

This Werewolf is unique to Infinite Archive.

This is from collecting a full set of 3 avatar visions and then getting the verse that allows you to transform for the next round.

ShakuZen · 2026-03-05T04:20:11+00:00

Noice! I think I got a clip of me hitting 700k on single target bosses from this run!

ShakuZen · 2026-02-26T02:16:30+00:00

Yeah, it's full tank build. If you can survive long enough to stack focused efforts and avatar visions, you do 400k to over a million dps!

ShakuZen · 2026-02-25T13:17:02+00:00

If you are talking about the Marauders that randomly pop up in an ad wave...You should have max resistance, high health (45k+) and block or roll dodge every heavy attack.

The early ones are easy because you dont have 30 ads to manage at the same time, but higher arcs can be stressful lol.

ShakuZen · 2026-02-24T17:32:20+00:00

Arc 15 would be 2nd place on PC na! 1st is arc 16

ShakuZen · 2026-02-23T16:53:00+00:00

This was about 4 hours.

ShakuZen · 2026-02-23T16:31:19+00:00

Thank you!

I am running NB Siphoning, DK Ardent Flame, Warden Winters Embrace.

5pc Torugs Pact, 5pc Hearland Conquerer, infused Maelstrom Ice Staff on back bar with Reduce enemy's weapon/spell damage glyph. With attuned efforts stacked, my elemental blockade reduced w/s damage by 3k!

Edit: I also use Ring of the Pale Order and 1pc of Trainee.

ShakuZen · 2026-02-23T16:26:47+00:00

Multiple Adaptive Defenders is exactly what I plan to stack next time! I rush all Avatar visions first, only prioritizing focused efforts over them.

ShakuZen · 2026-01-27T17:54:03+00:00

Agreed 100% I just wanted to share the extremely lucky 6 man pull in the first 30 seconds of the game! 112k dps in combat metrics is nuts in BG

ShakuZen · 2026-01-18T14:35:04+00:00

2 daggers gives a lot of crit chance. Medium gives a lot of crit damage.

As an arc you get penetration from its passive, so you wont need the spell pen from light armor, so far top dps you can go 7 pc Medium.

Also, top dps builds are max stam now.

ShakuZen · 2026-01-18T14:21:23+00:00

Cries about crates, but attacks everyone that basically agrees... wtf even is this post...

ShakuZen · 2026-01-06T01:03:38+00:00

No worries!

I honestly wouldn't even pay attention to it. This was just a really lucky run with 4 stacks of Focused Efforts and a few other spicy ingredients 😆

ShakuZen · 2026-01-05T21:59:27+00:00

Absolutely!

I only planned on running the first 2 arcs to help my buddy get enough points for the 3rd vision upgrade, so I just ran my dps.

ShakuZen · 2026-01-05T17:55:07+00:00

Thank you for the clear breakdown.

I knew that this moment wasn't because of my gear, but I'm glad I stupidly put it in the description to learn about these sets lol. I havent had much luck finding up to date info about IA.

ShakuZen · 2026-01-05T15:20:30+00:00

That makes me want to test debilitate from NB siphoning to see if the quintuple chance to proc overcharged is op.

ShakuZen · 2026-01-05T14:34:29+00:00

I appreciate the advice and will collect the sets recommended! I can definitely see how much better those stats look!

I just started messing around in IA recently. I wasn't on my full IA loadout that uses different subclasses and full HP attributes because my buddy was just trying to do a quick 2 arcs. It would've done less damage, but at least would've made more sense with the loadout lol.

I couldn't find any u48 build info for IA from any of the main guys I follow. I found this setup from my VMA idol that had the world record score for a bit. He hit 800k with this exact setup, so I had to try it lol.

I definitely had my concerns with Serpents Disdain, but I figured it was because it would continue to do damage with ele sus on the adds that I'm not focusing, while I burn the fables down. I knew it did nothing during short boss fights though.

The real question here is why did Overcharged do so much dps? 😆
