Smithscript Cirque Ashes of War

Smithscript Cirque Best Ashes of War

Smithscript Cirque Ashes of War
: Swift SlashAsh of War: Swift Slash : Blind SpotAsh of War: Blind Spot

The best Ashes of War to use for the Smithscript Cirque are the Swift Slash and Blind Spot Ashes of War.

Swift Slash is a great Ash of War for closing on enemies and dealing physical AoE damage along the path of the skill's dash. Alternatively, Blind Spot is great to have if you are fighting strong single targets (such as bosses) due to its high damage and side dash with I-frames.
