The video primarily focuses on an optimized Path of Exile build designed by Tuna, centered around mapping efficiency and maximizing loot. This build harnesses the explosion mechanic from the Chieftain's 'Hinekora, Death's Fury' to cause enemies to explode on death, combined with 100% ignite chance for consistent explosions. It uses self-ignite mechanics through items like 'The Fulcrum' and 'That Which Was Taken', and scales this with area of effect clusters to deal significant damage.
Tuna also details defensive strategies incorporating the 'Defiance of Destiny', 'Petrified Blood' gem, endurance charges, high fire resistance, life regeneration, and specific items like the Cloak of Flame and Sadima's Touch gloves. These ensure survivability while running heavily-juiced maps with high loot drops but present challenges against single-target bosses due to lack of direct damage.
The build leverages Chaos resistance through jewels, the Elegant Hubris for attribute management, and optimal flask usage including Taste of Hate for converting physical to elemental damage. The video concludes with Tuna emphasizing the enjoyment and practicality of the build, its performance, and future sharing plans, thanking viewers for their support.

In this part of the video, Tuna introduces a build he has been enjoying and showcases its capabilities. He explains that the build is optimized for mapping and relies on the League mechanic to deliver a high damage output. Tuna is using a cost-effective gear setup to run fully juiced maps efficiently, focusing on maximizing loot. He emphasizes that the build is not suitable for single-target damage as it entirely depends on explosions triggered by igniting enemies.
The core mechanic involves using the Chieftain’s ‘Hinekora, Death’s Fury’ notable, granting a 5% chance to cause enemies to explode and deal 500% of their life as fire damage. Tuna aims to achieve a 100% ignite chance to ensure these explosions are consistent. Additional tools like the ‘Primal Ascendancy’ and the unique jewel ‘That Which Was Taken’ further enhance the explosion chance up to 9%. Tuna highlights the importance of the item ‘The Fulcrum’, which is crucial for self-ignition to trigger the chain reaction of explosions, demonstrating the build’s efficiency and map-clearing potential.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a unique item in Path of Exile that reflects elemental ailments you inflict back onto yourself. Initially perceived as a downside, this reflection is leveraged positively through game mechanics. For instance, using the “Chief,” it provides “SOS cleansing water” that allows stacking fire resistance and makes you unaffected by ignite, meaning you can carry and proliferate a massive ignite to other enemies. The speaker explains the mechanics of how this self-ignite works, spreading through “fan the Flames” and scaling it with area of effect from medium clusters. This can result in dealing millions of damage despite monsters’ damage reduction, as damage over time (DoT) is capped. Finally, the speaker mentions the importance of understanding the defensive mechanics to withstand powerful enemies in the game.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the speaker delves into a complex strategy for maximizing survivability in Path of Exile using the Defiance of Destiny item and the Petrified Blood gem. This combination allows players to regain 40% of their missing life before an enemy’s attack registers, while the Petrified Blood gem staggers 40% of the incoming damage over 4 seconds. This tactic effectively maintains the player at low life, enabling continuous life recovery and damage mitigation. The speaker also highlights the use of Vitality and Summon Holy Relic to boost life regeneration, as well as life flask to counter bleed effects. For additional damage reduction, the player can accrue endurance charges on hit through specific jewels or charms. This multifaceted approach enhances survival by leveraging regeneration, damage staggering, and life recovery mechanics effectively.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses optimizing a character’s defenses by strategically using jewels and armor. They mention replacing a jewel to gain endurance charges for damage mitigation, and balancing physical and fire damage through body armor. The character achieves around 65% damage taken as fire, supplemented by armor and damage reduction. The speaker also highlights the importance of mitigating chaos damage through armor mastery and reducing critical strike damage. They emphasize maximizing fire resistance, achieving up to 89% fire resistance through specific armor and skill combinations. Lastly, the speaker notes that further optimization can push resistance even higher with the right setup.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses defensive strategies for a character build, focusing on achieving high fire resistance, life recoup, and blocking which results in a tankier character. They mention having 32% block with a recovery of 2% life upon blocking to effectively regenerate health during maps. The speaker emphasizes the importance of upgrading the “Soul of Brine King” pantheon and outlines capturing certain entities for improvements. They also advise against capturing “Thearis of the Seas” due to the build’s potential for self-chill, suggesting gear swaps like “Winter Weave” and “Riot’s End” along with bleeding mitigations.
Further details include addressing attribute requirements using an “Elegant Hubris” jewel that negates inherent bonuses from attributes but also ignores attribute requirements, which simplifies managing dexterity for gems. This jewel also provides chaos resistance and a chance to avoid being shocked, crucial for the build since shock increases damage taken. The speaker achieves shock avoidance through this jewel and an additional one that ideally prevents corrupted blood. The segment concludes by noting the sufficiency of mana despite these adaptations and the need to adjust skill levels if necessary.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of acquiring Chaos resistance for their build, highlighting that using magic find gear leaves no room for resistance on the gear itself. They suggest using jewels and charms to manage this, as well as the only necessary crafting, which can be simplified by focusing on resistance and life via Essences and Harvest crafting. The build relies heavily on specific unique items like the Cloak of Flame for extended ignite duration, Sadima’s Touch gloves for increased item quantity, and Ventor’s ring with a focus on fire resistance. For boots, aiming for increased item quantity and movement speed is ideal. The use of a Bisco’s Leash belt adds extra quantity, rarity, and Rampage, while recommended flasks include a gold flask for increased item rarity and a ruby flask crafted to mitigate elemental effects like shock and ignite.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses increasing the chance to ignite to 100% for effective explosions, explaining the importance of having specific gear and utilizing the “Taste of Hate” to convert physical damage to elemental damage. They cover crafting Quicksilver for damage mitigation and constantly maintaining health through life leech and flasks. The speaker advises on optimal cluster jewels, indicating preferences but noting that there are multiple viable options that can be customized based on budget and availability. Emphasis is placed on flexibility and budget-friendly alternatives while still achieving a highly effective and enjoyable build.
00:21:00
In this part of the video, the creator discusses running a heavily-juiced map in a game, focusing on a Beyond map with Abyss mechanics and approximately 7,000 whispers. The segment highlights the explosive effects and visual appeal of the build they are using, which leverages massive ignites and explosions to clear content efficiently. Despite its strengths, the build struggles with conventional map bosses due to its lack of direct damage. The creator emphasizes their enjoyment of the build, noting its synergy with making currency and having fun. Additionally, they address potential criticism regarding the originality of the build, clarifying that while similar builds have existed, their current build also draws on past experiences and contributions. They express pride in the build’s performance and utility for the current league, and thank viewers for watching, aiming to educate them on the build’s mechanics and effectiveness.
00:24:00
In this segment, the speaker mentions plans to share more strategies in the future to give viewers a better idea of potential builds. They also invite viewers to follow their stream on Twitch or watch future video uploads. The speaker ends with a thank-you note and good wishes to the audience.
