In this segment of the video, the focus is on detailing a specific strategy and skill build for a game. The main actions involve casting a tidal wave that spawns numerous blood orbs, which provide healing, fortify, and Essence restoration when combined with the Blood Drinkers Glyph and Potent Blood Aspect. Picking up these orbs also reduces the cooldown of the ultimate ability, Blood Wave, allowing for constant usage, thereby controlling enemies and pushing them off-screen. The build also utilizes the Gore Quills Aspect to automatically consume blood orbs and spread damage more effectively. Further, two basic skills are discussed: Reap and Hemorrhage, with a preference for Hemorrhage due to its range and Essence generation. The core skill Blood Lance is also central to the build, enhanced to guarantee overpower damage and additional blood orb spawning. The segment culminates in a discussion of skill mechanics that increase the damage output by leveraging Essence costs.

In this part of the video, the presenter emphasizes the importance of attack speed due to its impact on overpower procs. They suggest allocating skill points into specific abilities: three points into Standalone for superior damage reduction, three points into Momentum Mori for extra damage and tankiness from minions, and one point into Rathma’s Vigor for increased life pool and guaranteed overpower, despite a current bug expected to be fixed in an upcoming patch. The skill tree is optimized, though some functionalities are bugged but anticipated to be corrected soon.
The segment then delves into gear and aspects related to the build, highlighting the significance of certain stats over others. This includes prioritizing cooldown reduction, maximum life, and total armor on the helmet and chest piece, with additional preferences for ranks of blood Mist on legs for damage reduction. Essential stats for gloves include overpower damage, attack speed, and resource restoration on hit, differing from other builds. For boots, essence cost reduction and movement speed are prioritized, with corpse tendrils for cooldown and damage reduction.
The amulet is crucial, with ranks of tides of blood for damage, cooldown reduction for better uptime on abilities, and essence cost reduction.
