The Huntress can also ascend to the Amazon. Unlike the Ritualist, they use more traditional fighting techniques instead of manipulating the enemies around them.

Their skills focus on increasing their damage output by exposing enemy weaknesses, infusing weapons with elemental power, and enhancing critical strikes.

Amazons can also stay healthier in fights thanks to their ability to leech life force and gain additional sustain from their flasks.
