If your fantasy is to eviscerate the opposition using only blunt force trauma and high-yield explosives, Lethal Flash Carino - Hammer of Ash is the build for you. Hammer of Ash's Demolisher Charge mechanic pairs with Lethal Flash's Desperate Measure Trait. The result hits very hard, slowly, and produces large explosions.
This build is beginner friendly, not relying on very rare items or on many Aember modifiers (though they do help). The mechanics are simple with medium complexity rhythmic gameplay. This build can do most content and you'll have a great time along the way.
Offense is Defense, and you have plenty of both. This build stacks tons of Armor, Tenacity Blessings, and uses modifiers that scale damage based off of defense.
This build was developed during Season 1 and has only grown stronger.
Season 2 changed Steel Stagnation and Hammer of Ash's Demolisher Charge restoration speed, forcing the build to make use of Eve of the Kingslaying and other Hero Relics and Memories.
Season 3 added the Statue of the new God and Divinity Slates, granting the build even more power. Infinity's removal and replacement with a Legendary Divinity Slate of near identical function frees up the belt slot. The biggest buff to this build in Season 3 is the damage cap removal, massively increasing boss-killing potential.
