↖ Splintering Aspect: The Core Aspect

The backbone of this build is the Splintering Aspect, obtained in Act 3 in the Dry Steps. This aspect makes your Bone Spear's primary attack hit enemies beyond the first, dealing bonus damage to vulnerable foes. Additionally, the first enemy hit also becomes vulnerable. This aspect significantly enhances your damage output and should be obtained as soon as possible.
