About

This updated version of the Dancing Strikes Blade Dancer is a fun high potential build that can clear all pinnacle content and is able to comfortably farm over 600+ corruption. This build starts with Smoke Bomb as our opener, diving us into a pack of monsters then we use Dancing Strikes to generate shadows for Shadow Cascade burst damage. Shurikens are automatically triggered from Dancing Strike for more damage. Lastly, Umbral Blades is also triggered automatically sending out shadow daggers against our enemies.

The Loot Filter for this build is located here.
