[3.8] Ascendant wild strike lightning / blade flurry ONE TAP THE WHOLE SCREEN (In depth Build guide)

When you kill an enemy, 2 explosions will happen, one of them is inpulsa explosion, and another is herald of ice explosion.

Inpulsa explosion deals lightning damage, but does not shock.
Herald of ice deals cold damage, able to chill / freeze enemy.

So, we use Three Dragons to change the ailment that our inpulsa and herald of ice inflict. This is the effect after equipping Three Dragons

Inpulsa explosion deals lightning damage, able to freeze
Herald of Ice deals Cold damage, able to ignite

Why Cold to Fire on herald of ice?
Because our cold damage is able to ignite, cold to fire increases our ignite damage, and thus our ignite damage is able to shock.
When our ignite is able to shock, it deals significantly more damage to our targets

Why Elemental Proliferation on herald of ice?
When our herald of ice kills an enemy, it will spread the ignite to nearby enemies too, and this will repeat overtime until it hits an enemy which can't easilly die from ignite or simply out of range.

Sometimes our ailment won't inflict properly, so I use The Taming to boost our chance on inflicting elemental ailments, and increasing our damage. But it's not 100% mandatory for this build to work

One tap the whole screen
One tap destroys the whole blighted lane
Feels very satisfying, very clean herald of ice and inpulsa explosions
A fast zoom zoom build
Better than reave clearing
1.1 mil shaper dps for a non crit build
Can be converted into a mf build.

Need to swap chest everytime you encounter a boss
Need to keep your golems alive for more potential dps
Leveling is not beginner friendly
May be expensive for some players
Not league starter

Clearing
You walk up in front of a pack, hit just one of the monsters, and you will see a lot of explosions going on just like in the clip

Bossing
Swap chest into a blade flurry setup, channel your blade flurry until it have 6 stages, release, then whirling blades and dash to a side, then repeat.

Note : Keeping both of your golems alive is very important, especially when you don't have uber lab done, keeping your ice golem alive is very important. Due to lack of accuracy rating, it will significantly lower your accuracy rating, thus lowering your overall dps by A LOT.

There are a few ways you can level this character, but I personally uses a spell build, and that is orb of storm and storm brand leveling. I have already setup my gear beforehand so I didn't need to search gear by the time I reached lvl 70 and ready to respec into wild strike. If you are leveling without the gear setup, you need to level the main gems in your second weapon slot.

Choices - Orb of Storm + Storm brand leveling (the lvling method I used)
- Frost blades

so here's my full leveling process, (you could level with whatever you want, as long as your tree doesn't need a lot of respec)
Lvl 1 -> Frost blades - Onslaught
-> Explosive trap

Lvl 4 -> Orb of storm - Onslaught - Frost bomb
-> Explosive trap

Lvl 12 -> Storm brand - added lightning damage - Explosive trap
-> Orb of storm - Onslaught

Lvl 31 -> Storm brand - added lightning damage - controlled destruction
-> Orb of storm - added lightning damage - onslaught
-> Lightning spire trap - controlled destruction - elemental focus - concentrated effect (bossing)
-> Herald of Ice + Herald of Lightning

Lvl 51 -> Storm brand - added lightning damage - controlled destruction - hypothermia
-> Orb of storm - Controlled destruction - Added lightning damage - (Increase area of effect / onslaught)
-> Herald of Ice + Herald of Lightning
-> No change in lightning spire trap

If you're using frost blades, you can refer to any frost blades leveling guide, but the tree will be a bit different from mine

Major Gods
Major - Soul of Solaris (General mapping)
We pick Solaris because most of the time we will struggle against isolated targets. If the place is pretty packed, we could 1 tap all the monsters, even bosses too! But if the target is isolated, we won't able to kill it by our explosion chains (obviously), so we will have trouble against isolated targets, and solaris have the best defensive offer

Major - Soul of Lunaris (General mapping, blighted maps)
Lunaris have one of the best defensive options in the game if you harvested all the souls. It's pretty useful in blighted maps so I suggest picking this up especially on blighted maps. You could also use it on general mapping, there's no harm with it.

Major - Arakaali (Uber elder, uber lab)
Arakaali gives one of the best defenses against DoT damage. So picking this up will reduce total damage from bleed (for lab) and the phys damage over time from the summons of Uber elder.

Minor Gods
Minor - Shakari (General mapping)
Shakari gives a handful defensive against poison and DoT damage. This is one of the best defenses that the pantheon can offer to our character. Due to our low lifepool, having reduced chaos damage and poison immunity is very effective to us.

Minor - Gruthkul (Blighted maps)
Gruthkul gives a lot of reduced phys damage for us, it's very effective on a very packed places, it's recommended to pick this when doing blighted maps, an extra defensive layer

Minor - Ralakesh (Uber lab)
Same as Arakali, it gives us reduced phys DoT damage and avoid bleeding, very useful defensive layer against traps

Minor - Garukhan (MF setup / zoom zoom build)
Garukhan offers a bonus movement speed for a MF build to zoom and a defensive layer to increase your survivability especially against bosses.

Kill All, because we are a non crit build. If you want to try a crit build, you could go for help Alira
