Stinger Spam Spiritborn Endgame Build Guide
Last Updated: Jun 30, 2025 by Community Build
About
This is essentially a Core-spamming build like our Crushing Hand build but designed for Poison. It transforms the Stinger core skill into a screen-wide orbiting poison attacks using the Rod of Kepeleke and The Writhing Moon Ring. By stacking Maximum Resource and Ferocity, the build achieves 100% Critical Strike chance and massive physical damage multipliers, turning your Spiritborn into a poison speader that zips around like a giant cloud of poison.
Gameplay Loop and Rotation
The Spiritborn build's rotation is about front-loading your powerful utility skills to gain maximum defensive and offensive buffs, and then aggressively spamming your core damage skill while these buffs are active.
Initiate with Utility Buffs: Begin combat by casting your utility skills to layer your buffs and defenses. Prioritize Ravager (for resource and attack speed), followed by The Protector (for Barrier, Unstoppable, and the damage buff).
Layer Defense/Offense: Use Armored Hide and Counterattack to solidify your defensive position (maximizing survivability) while simultaneously activating secondary damage boosts.
Apply Damage Multiplier: Ensure your Scourge passive is active (or that enemies are CC'd) to apply the crucial damage multiplier.
Execute: Once all buffs are active, aggressively spam Stinger. The goal is to maximize the number of hits to benefit from Rod of Kepeleke's double-hit chance.
Maintain Uptime: Repeat the utility skills as needed to keep your defensive and offensive buffs active, utilizing the high Cooldown Reduction and resource generation inherent in the gear setup.

Additional information
Rod of Kepeleke (Quarterstaff): The heart of the build. It turns Stinger into a Basic skill and guarantees it deals maximum damage/crits when cast at Max Vigor.
Harmony of Ebewaka (Helm): Multiplies your damage based on your Spirit Hall choices and makes Stinger benefit from multiple Spirit type bonuses.
Hesa Ekasangi (Gloves): Boosts Gorilla skills and gives The Protector the vacuum/vortex effect to group mobs.
Tibault’s Will (Pants): Increases your Max Resource (more damage for Kepeleke) and gives a huge damage multiplier whenever you are Unstoppable.
Ring of the Writhing Moon: Summons Poison Orbs that orbit around us, helping to make enemies vulnerable.
