Talent Tree

Alternatives

Strike capacity

Efficiency adds two Strike slots. The three-skill core assumes at least one base Strike slot; if the current hero source proves otherwise, cut Ice Shards first.

No Krom?

Use Time for Energy Missiles and Gem High. You lose Rupture, but keep a projectile Strike and gain speed support.

No Winter?

Use Aegir for Whirlpool or Tidal Wave. Serpentine Tips still provides Immobilize, but you lose Icebound's payoff.

Single-target swap

Use Chains of War over Shurikens when fighting at closer range and needing stronger control around Lorien.
