Master Conductor
When your bolts hit an enemy suffering from Slip, they arc to nearby enemies three times for 150% chain lightning damage.
Pairing
Why this pairing works
Master Conductor converts Zeus's single-target Blitz into area damage. The problem Zeus normally has is that his bolts hit one enemy at a time; Poseidon's Slip both amplifies the damage and marks the target so the bolt chains outward. In a crowded room the difference is dramatic — one bolt can clear a cluster that would otherwise take several seconds.
Playstyle
Take Wave Strike first so Slip is applied by the same hits that trigger your bolts. Once Master Conductor is online, stop focusing single targets — spread your attacks across the group and let the chaining do the work. Pair with a wide-reach Aspect such as Aspect of Circe or Aspect of Charon.
Recommended weapons
Aspect of Circe
After 12 hits with Attack or Special you enter a Serene state: your next Omega move costs nothing net and deals significantly more damage. Because the counter is built with cheap hits, Circe rewards weapons and boons that land many small instances of damage rather than a few large ones.
Aspect of Charon
When your Special shockwave touches your Cast, the Cast detonates for heavy area damage and its duration refreshes. The single strongest clearing tool against grouped enemies, and competitive at every Fear level.
Aspect of Momus
Special becomes a three-orb volley, and every orb deals substantially more damage while you are below half health. Momus turns the staff into a burst weapon, but it asks you to fight close to the edge — bring defensive Arcana or a reliable healing source.
Featured Builds
Circe Omega Engine
Every 12 hits puts you in a Serene state where the next Omega move costs nothing net and deals far more damage. Turns the staff into a repeating burst engine.
Charon Cast Detonator
The Moonstone Axe's Special shockwave detonates your own Cast for screen-wide damage. The strongest room-clearing build in the game and safe, because the axe can block.
