As mentioned above, this Forge Guard build comprises minions that can shred through bosses and packs of enemies. For the early setup, use Rive as your primary single-target and clear ability alongside Summon Forged Weapon, which scales with weapon stats. In addition, you can also use Lunge to move quickly through the world of Eterra.
After that, try to put points for the Multistrike for the end-game build. Once you have five points in Multistrike, use it to get the max amount of Armament stacks and use Forge Strike to summon Summon Forged Weapon. This Multistrike will also allow you to heal massively by procing Healing Hands.
