Setups for Warden for Infinite Archive

Thank you, Lucht, for sharing and streaming your builds; I learned a lot from you :) I prefer a safer playthrough, so I use the stronger but riskier build only for the first three arcs. Key points: I stay in the third stage of vampirism the entire time and use Jewels of Misrule food.


Arc 1-3

Until I get the Focused Efforts buff, I use the following build.

In this build, I complete the first two arcs. If I don't get at least one Focused Efforts buff within two arcs, I reset the archive and start over. Without this buff, the playthrough takes much longer, so it's better to start again. As soon as I get the first buff, I slightly change the skills and start using Elemental Susceptibility as a spam skill.


Arc 4-6

Next, I switch to a safer build. I add the mythic Esoteric Environment Greaves. It allows me to survive the marauders in these arcs comfortably by maintaining Resolving Vigor and performing heavy attacks with the frost staff to gain a shield. Additionally, I equip the Hexo's Ward set, which provides its own shield on top of this.

Arc 7-8

Starting from the seventh arc, I switch the Esoteric Environment Greaves for the Ring of Pale Order. From the seventh arc onward, we take more damage from AoE and DoT, so it's better to receive healing from the ring. Additionally, I add another set for protection (Hatchling's Shell).

Arc 9+

Starting from the ninth arc, the bosses and marauders hit very hard. Therefore, I use a setup that allows me to reduce their damage almost to zero, but only if you have gathered 4-5 Attuned Enchantments buffs. The main thing is to constantly maintain this on dangerous mobs and bosses, especially on marauders.

For example, with 5 enchantment buffs, you can simply stand in the AoE of the Glass Dragon on the final boss of the arc and not take any damage.
