Resource Cost Reduction -> Life on Hit -> Area Damage -> Gold Find. (spam those multishot)

Build Guide

Hello guys, Xyreal here. I tried so many builds for farming Death's Breath, but it seems like this build works well up to Torment X.

Been using this build to farm DBs, and i usually get 25-35 DBs per rift. Which is good tbh.

There's not much really to say about this build lol. Other than:

- If you use cindercoat, you cube Tasker and Theo, or vice versa.

- Same goes for the quiver, if you have a good roll Dead Man's Legacy, then cube Bombardier's Rucksack, or vice versa.

- For necklace, it doesn't really matter as long as you have CHD and CHC and socket. Resource cost reduction is also ok.

- This build uses sage set for double the DB drops.

- 4 set marauder is still good because of Yang's Recurve.

- Just spam put your Sentries and spam Multishot

- Good Luck
