Soul Tag Synergies

Built around Briarbinds Exotic that improves VOID SOULS. The key loop is for maintaining WEAKEN through deploying grenades and void souls. With fast-enough class regen, you can deploy multiple void souls by collecting them and reusing them, refreshing their timer.

  • Throw grenade to proc GRENADE KICKSTART (+GRN)
  • Use powered melee to proc IMPACT INDUCTION (+GRN)
  • Cast rift to proc BOMBER (+GRN)
  • Use VOID SOUL to drain enemies, granting +GRN and +MELEE
  • Repeat

The "Soul Tag" is a test build based on Maven's Briarbinds Video, since she said it makes end-game content less difficult and more versatile than Controverse Hold.

The Loop

TRIGGER ACTIONS

  • Throw

CHAINING ACTIONS

Subclass Setup

The "Soul Tag" build is designed proc the "Scorch" debuff as often as possible through charge melee and weapons.

  • Charged Melee - Incinerator Snap to apply "Scorch" with a fan of 10 short-ranged bolts each applying 20 stacks of ScorchA scorched target takes damage over time for a period of time, with more stacks doing more damage. If the number of stacks exceeds 100, Ignition happens..
  • Grenade - Firebolt Grenade lightly applies "Scorch" to targets within a 15m radius (
