CC Displacement w/ GS Aggression

Utilizing Spear Barrage/Javelin Thrust/Thorn Guide to displace your opponent while following up with Radiant Rush. This is a highly technical, high-APM build for players who want absolute control over the battlefield.

1. Core Philosophy

Unlike the pure burst "Gigachad" build, this setup relies on frustrating the opponent with constant Crowd Control (CC) and forced movement. You dictate where the fight happens.

  • Displacement: Pushing or pulling enemies into environmental hazards or away from their team.
  • Combo Reliance: Your damage comes from executing perfectly timed chains of abilities.

2. Skill Loadout

Weapons

  • Primary: Greatsword (For the Radiant Rush execute)
  • Secondary: Spear/Javelin (For the ranged CC)

Active Skills

  • Skill 1: Spear Barrage
    • Usage: Rains down spears in an area, forcing enemies to roll out or take massive damage. Use this to deny space.
  • Skill 2: Javelin Thrust
    • Usage: A long-range thrust that staggers and slightly knocks back. Catch enemies at the end of their dodge roll.
  • Skill 3: Thorn Guide / Radiant Rush
    • Usage: Thorn Guide pulls them in. Radiant Rush is your Greatsword finisher.

3. Best Gear & Affixes

You need Cooldown Reduction (CDR) above all else to keep the CC chain going.

4. The Wombo Combo

This is the bread-and-butter combo you must master:

  1. Zone: Cast Spear Barrage behind the enemy to cut off their escape route.
  2. Force the Error: Run at them. They will be forced to dodge sideways to avoid both you and the barrage.
  3. Catch: The moment their i-frames end, hit them with Javelin Thrust to stagger them.
  4. Pull: Swap to Greatsword stance and use Thorn Guide (or Grappling Hook) to pull the staggered enemy right to your feet.
  5. Execute: Unleash Radiant Rush for the kill.

It takes practice, but it's incredibly oppressive in 1v1 situations. Mastery of weapon swapping mid-combo is mandatory.
