↖ Build Items

• Damnation Staff with Cursed Sickle and Armor Piercer
• Knight Helmet with Displacement Immunity
• Scholar Robe with Speed Caster
• Scholar Sandals with Focused Run
• Fort Sterling Cape with Resistance Potion and Pork Omelet (any tier is fine)

 

↖ Strategy

Your role in a ZvZ battle is to provide debuffs to as many opponents as possible using Cataclysm, the Damnation Staff's main ability. Here's how to do it:

• Run to the front lines and activate your Scholar Robe's Speed Caster ability to get there quickly.
• Cast your Knight Helmet's Displacement Immunity ability to prevent yourself from getting knocked around while channeling Cataclysm.
• Cast Cataclysm on as many opponents as possible. This ability deals damage over time and has a short range, but a large area of effect.
• Spam out your other abilities and then use your Scholar Sandals' Focused Run ability to quickly move away from the front lines.
• If you get attacked, chug your Resistance Potion and Pork Omelet to help you survive and get your cooldowns back faster.

That's all there is to it! Remember that this build is only useful in ZvZ battles, and not for any other type of gameplay. It's also a high-risk role, so expect to die often.

 

↖ Trolling Streamers

One unique use of the Damnation Staff is to troll streamers by casting it near them and then canceling it. This will put a big red splotch on their stream and grab their attention. To do this, find a streamer in town or nearby, cast the ability, and then immediately cancel it by moving or pressing the S button. This can be a lot of fun, but remember to be respectful and not take it too far.

 

↖ Why Use Certain Items

The Knight Helmet with Displacement Immunity prevents you from getting knocked around while channeling Cataclysm. The Scholar Robe with Speed Caster allows you to quickly move to the front lines, while the Scholar Sandals with Focused Run help you quickly move away from danger. The Fort Sterling Cape with Resistance Potion and Pork Omelet help you survive in battle and get your cooldowns back faster.

 

↖ Conclusion

The Damnation Staff is a unique weapon that is only useful in ZvZ battles. With this build and strategy, you can effectively provide debuffs to your opponents and help your guild win the battle.
