When to Buy
- Purchase in the late game when you are the primary Spirit Damage dealer and need to maximize your individual DPS.
- Strong against high-health targets and in extended team fights where you can reliably build and maintain the 12-second stacks.
- Effective for countering enemies with high Spirit Resist, as the combination of the flat -8% shred and the stacking amp provides massive scaling.
- Note that while the stacking amp only applies to your own damage, the base -8% Spirit Resist reduction benefits your entire team.
