Strategy & Tips

  • Stars of Ruin is near-undodgeable — spam it to chip opponents down
  • Mix in Carian Phalanx for passive pressure while you reposition
  • If opponents rush you, swap to Carian Slicer for melee trading
  • Swift Glintstone Shard interrupts enemy weapon skills and heals
  • Control the duel's pace — you win by attrition, not burst
