The build mainly revolves around Bombardment, using it to damage enemies in a large area.

Besides Bombardment, the core Skills of this build are:

  • Condemn – used to pull enemies together.
  • Iron Skin – Increases your Thorns and provides damage reduction.
  • Akarat’s Champion – a staple in Crusader builds; it gives you a boost in both offense and defense.
  • Punish – can be used for extra mitigation and Attack Speed.
  • Steed Charge – can be used for extra mobility.
  • Laws of Hope – can be used to give more survivability.

Passives

Equipment

The Mortal Drama and Belt of the Trove both greatly enhance Bombardment. The In-geom will help keep your cooldowns low. The Squirt’s Necklace, Strongarm Bracers, Stone of Jordan, and the Hexing Pants of Mr. Yan all increase your overall damage. The Aquila Cuirass, St. Archew’s Gage, and Stone Gauntlets all help with damage mitigation. 

Legacy of Dreams is an essential Legendary Gem to this build, as it will massively increase your offense and defense for having only legendary gear equipped. Boyarsky’s Chip will increase your Thorns, while the Bane of the Trapped will increase your overall damage.
