Ice-Fire Fusion Gemma Leveling Guide

Welcome to the Ice-Fire Fusion Gemma Leveling Guide. Gemma's Ice-Fire Fusion Trait specializes in combining damage types from multiple elements, Ice-Fire Embrace applies Fire damage bonuses to Cold damage and vice versa. This makes her an excellent choice for mixing Cold and Fire damage.

Treasure Troves

Treasure Troves are a way to super-charge your leveling experience. They give vastly more experience than regular zones and yield exclusive Legendary items. You need to complete each of them once for a Talent Point. For an easier leveling experience, you repeat the Treasure Trove until you're 8-10 levels above the zone, then rush through the next few areas. Follow your side quest to find the Treasure Trove locations.

Keep an eye out for the following Legendary items as you clear Treasure Troves.

• New Ear Hills (L7): Look out for Pentagram Astrolabe and Lonesome
• Nectar Valley (L16): Look out for Grace Boots, Pentagram Astrolabe, Lonesome and Omniscient Prototype.
• Dawn Avenue (L27): Look out for Ice Pulse, Lonesome and Omniscient Prototype.
• Sanctuary of Solitude (L35): Look out for Sage's Foresight and Pentagram Astrolabe.
• Silver Sands' End (L44): Look out for Marksman Bracers.
• Hall of Grandiosity (L54): Here you should farm to level 60 before defeating Ordrak for your next Hero Trait before completing the campaign. Look out for Photophobia.

Leveling Tips and Tricks

• Your first active skill slot (top left in the Skills menu) is your "Main Skill", this matters because many items and Hero Traits have effects that only apply to the Main Skill.
• If you're ever in doubt of where to go, click the campaign quest on the left of your screen and a golden path shows you the way.
• This guide assumes you get most of your levels through Treasure Troves and rush to the objectives in other zones for maximum efficiency.
• When allocating Pact Points, prioritize Elemental Resistance first, then select Damage nodes until you fill the section. If you have leftover points, put them into Drop nodes as you begin farming the Netherrealm.
• All support gems become available from the Skill Shop at level 55. At this stage cross reference with the embeds to make sure you're set up for the Netherrealm.
• In Chapter 3 gear you find comes with varying amounts of Energy, after changing your gear, be sure to go to the Energy Menu under Skills to reassign missing Energy.

Equipment & Stat Priorities

Core Skill

• Build stacks of Fusion Energy by dealing Fire or Cold damage.
• Ice Lances is a projectile skill that has built in Jump allowing it to hit enemies far off screen. Use it with Frigid Transmission and Frostbitten to quickly progress through areas.
• Flame Jet is a Terra skill meaning it has 0 cast time. Use it constantly to ensure you are dealing both Fire and Cold damage.
• Mana Boil is an empower skill that provides a passive bonus granting additional Spell Damage by draining 5% of your mana per second. Once you have Frozen Lotus you have permanent uptime on this buff as it will drain 0 mana.

Leveling Progression

WARNING: The following levels are a guideline, you might complete the quest/unlock the Skill a few levels early, or a few levels later!

Talents

Hero Traits

Divinity Slates

After defeating the Steel Forge Timemark 3 Watcher and completing the Netherrealm quest you unlock the Divinity Slate Talents. These can be farmed from different forms of content, but primarily drop from the Cube of Rapacity. Look to brand Divinity Slates with the following nodes;

Pacts

The Netherrealm

Racing through your Netherrealm quests as quickly as possible results in you becoming under leveled for the required zones to progress further, stay within 3 levels of the zones you're completing to avoid a harsh experience penalty. Check out our How to Progress the Netherrealm if you're unsure of anything.

Here's a list of things to do while progressing the early stages of the Netherrealm;

• Level 60, The Trade House is unlocked. Be sure to read and understand our Trade House for Beginners Guide before making any big purchases.
• Higher item levels of gear come with higher quantities of Energy. Look to improve your current gear with items that have increased energy so that you can use more Support Skills.
• Utilize crafting to make the gear in the Equipment listed above.

Transitioning to Endgame

Weapon

Focus on acquiring Wands with the "Chance to Deal Double Damage" mod as a drop;

• Search Beacons or the Trade House for items with any of the following modifiers on Wands.
  • Intelligence
  • Additional Levels to Cold or Spell Skills
  • Chance to Deal Double Damage
  • %Additional Spell Damage -Cast Speed
  • Elemental Penetration
  • % Spell/Elemental Damage

Legendary Items

Leveling

• Spring Resurrection is a great early game weapon for any caster build.
• Elemental Whisper Belt adds flat Elemental damage to spells, but quickly gets outclassed by a well crafted belt.
• Hekate's Vision for your endgame helmet for great damage and survivability.
