Notes

Fear ceiling: 32+ Fear. Heals approximately 50 HP per second at rank 5. Apollo and Hephaestus legendaries both shine here. Keepsake rotation: Adamant Shard (start) -> Harmonic Photon -> Engraved Pin. Boon priority: Apollo Nova Strike > Hephaestus Volcanic Strike > Hera Hitch > Aphrodite globals. Hammers: Psychic Whirlwind, Giga Cleaver, Dashing Heave. Ideal for Vow of Forfeit and other vows that punish frequent dodging. The aspect lets you trade HP for damage windows on bosses that punish positional play.
