Trickster is one of the strongest defensively-oriented Ascendancies in the entire game, even despite the (repeated) Ghost Shroud nerfs, and it offers offensive choices that play directly into Essence Drain‘s strengths. What really makes this build special is its flexibility across the board. Viable in all leagues - Softcore, Hardcore, and Solo Self-Found - the Essence Drain Trickster is one of the best candidates in the current meta for reaching Level 100, if not the superlative article itself. This build was used by the author, Furty, to hit Rank 5 on the Legion Solo Self-Found Ladder, and has once again become one of the most meta builds available. In Patch 3.16 Scourge this build remains one of the best in the business for screen clear and near unmatched experience rate. A great league starter at a bargain price, this build scales well into the end-game and feels satisfying as it spreads its deadly chaos damage, devouring pack after pack with ease.
With monoliths and blight gone core and no real nerfs to the capability of this build, our Essence Drain Trickster remains a powerful choice to tear apart maps with near unmatched clear speed. Essence Drain was truly the king of Legion League, and has remained one of the strongest and most popular league starters to this day. There is no better build for reliably breaking every Legion mob from their monolith stasis, and better yet, it does it all automatically. The denser the monsters, the more this potent combo shines, playing wonderfully into many of the league mechanics that go core league by league. IntroductionĮssence Drain and Contagion have long formed a powerful tag team, presenting the player with near unparalleled clear speeds and experience per hour. There are many other viable configurations to this build and archetype, however, they will not be included here.
The top priorities when designing the blueprint were clear speed and safety while still having enough damage to clear end-game bosses such as the Uber Elder.
Instead of presenting a build that meets popular consensus or aims to provide the highest damage possible, this build is as close as possible to Furty’s character from the league. This build was requested by readers after Furty finished the Legion League.
