Poison Crusher Spiritborn Class Specialization
| Primary Spirit |
|---|
 Centipede (Level 15) Hitting an enemy with a Centipede Skill reduces their Damage by 2.5% and Slows them by 10% for 3 seconds, stacking up to a maximum of 8 times. All Skills are now also Centipede Skills. |
| Secondary Spirit |
 Gorilla (Level 30) Maximum Resolve is increased by 2. When you have at least 5 stacks of Resolve, you are Unstoppable. |
The Centipede spirit is the best specialization for the Primary slot as it helps you consistently deal Poison damage and apply crowd control, while the Secondary slot works best with the Gorilla spirit since it gives you access to increased Resolve and provides Unstoppable for better survivability.

Use Raheir as Your Main Mercenary
Although this build does not require any Mercenaries, here are some we personally recommend to help min-max the build. Use Raheir's Bastion to grant passive Unstoppable for 1 second and redirect 90% of damage taken to Raheir to help you survive better.
Make sure to get Raheir's Aegis to max out your resistances, and Inspiration as well to get that sweet 25% increased damage.
Raheir Mercenary Guide and Best Skills
Use Varyana For Reinforcement
Slot in Bloodthirst on Varyana to gain more attack speed and allow you to use Crushing Hand faster.
You can pair Varyana's Bloodthirst with Counterattack or Crushing Hand as these are the skills you will constantly use throughout your runs.
