An example: never Realized how strong a +2 leather armor is, with vampiric enchantment on any weapon, and hang around the sewers farming. It appears I can stay in the sewer indefinitely farming crab meat, and gold. I was attempting to farm the 6 health potions from the swarms, but realized that I would keep on recouping most of my HP with my vampiric sickle. The leather armor basically prevented anything from hurting me too bad.

Anybody have any interesting combinations to try in Shattered?

    I recommend playing around with high level (+9ish) Ring of Arcana for interesting builds. A few examples (I mostly play Huntress):

    Arcana + Projecting Huntress + Talisman of Foresight/lots of PoMindVision: snipe every enemy from across walls. Easy win.

    Arcana + Warden + Blooming spirit bow: unlimited grass, every shot surrounds the target with grass breaking their line of sight, super easy farming.

    Arcana + Warlock (or Vampiric) + Kinetic: 1hit KO plus full heal melee strikes.

    Arcana + Mage w/Shield Battery + Potential: your staff/wands recharge very quickly, enabling constant use of Shield Battery.

    Did you know that mobs on fire take bonus damage from additional blazing hits? Arcana + Blazing + RoFuror: char them to death before the turn clock fills, try with Gladiator.

    You can also use the RoArcana as the “ring of other rings”. At high level, it makes Lucky = high level RoWealth, Swiftness = RoHaste, Anti-magic becomes something like RoElements, Stone become something like RoTenacity. Arcana + Lucky + Swiftness: like having a RoHaste + RoWealth and you still have an open slot for another ring/artifact.

      I’m really glad people are finding lots of neat builds with arcana. I’ve been wanting to add a ring to Shattered for a while now but never really had a great design, but arcana felt like a winner the moment I concepted it. It’s a simple idea: “give enchantments/glyphs way more power budget”, but because there are over 20 of them it results in a huge amount of buid variety from a single item.

    There are a lot of fun combos, I’m currently doing a seeded corruption wand + corpse dust run just to try it, you keep the wand upgraded so high it instantly corrupts the wraiths that spawn and they kill/weaken most enemies you find

      I have also been playing this on a 4 challenge run. It’s a lot of fun.
