Naoe Endgame Bleed Build
NaoeThis endgame Naoe setup rapidly applies Bleed, spreads it through clustered enemies, and triggers chain-reaction bursts when Afflictions expire. Queen Cobra handles focused damage and low-health executions, while Bloodletter and Cyclone Blast distribute Bleed across groups. Nirmala's gear and Kitsune's Revenge then convert Afflicted or Vulnerable targets into heavily armor-pierced kills.
Damage
Bleed bursts, low-health executions, and layered Armor Piercing.
Survivability
Aggressive crowd control and vault mobility, with no dedicated healing layer.
Boss
100% Armor Piercing on Afflicted targets, plus Vulnerable-target scaling.
Naoe
A fast shinobi who pairs precise Katana pressure with the Kusarigama's wide reach and crowd control. Her weapon Mastery trees add Affliction buildup, Vulnerable openings, and the active Abilities that drive this Bleed setup.
The single-target half of the loadout. Its Bleed Buildup and fixed engraving accelerate each new Bleed application, while the transferred Crimson's Edge engraving executes enemies once Bleed catches them below two Health Segments.
Engravings
- ▸+20% Affliction Buildup After Applying Bleed (fixed)— Each completed Bleed application makes the next Affliction easier to trigger, creating the build's single-target snowball.
- ▸Bleed Kills Enemies Below 2 Health Segments (from Crimson's Edge)— Transfer Crimson's Edge's legendary engraving to Queen Cobra. The creator also shows this engraving for sale at a map vendor in the source video.Wiki
How to Obtain
Turns Bleed uptime into a defensive bypass by granting full Armor Piercing against Afflicted enemies. The transferred Onna-musha engraving adds an on-demand vault that opens a Vulnerable window when Naoe sprints into a target.
Engravings
- ▸100% Armor Piercing on Afflicted Enemies (fixed)— Bleeding targets lose their armor protection against Naoe's attacks.
- ▸Vault Over Enemies While Sprinting (from Legendary Onna-musha Headband)— Sprint into an enemy to vault over them and create a Vulnerable opening without waiting for a parry.Wiki
How to Obtain
A high-roll trinket that rewards both Vulnerable setup and rapid group kills. Armor Piercing spikes against targets opened by a vault or Katana skill, while consecutive kills refill Adrenaline for repeated Cyclone Blast casts.
Engravings
- ▸+72% Armor Piercing When Hitting Vulnerable Enemies— Stacks with the headwrap's Afflicted-target Armor Piercing whenever the build creates a Vulnerable opening.
- ▸+67% Adrenaline Gain with Consecutive Enemy Kills— Crowd kills rapidly refill Adrenaline so Cyclone Blast can be used again before the Bleed chain loses momentum.
How to Obtain
Combat Strategy
- ▸Equip Queen Cobra and Bloodletter with their transferred Engravings before entering combat.
- ▸Keep Cyclone Blast equipped on the Kusarigama Ability wheel because it is the build's mandatory crowd-control tool.
- ▸Approach clustered enemies with Bloodletter ready, and keep Queen Cobra available for isolated elites or bosses.
- ▸Sprint into a priority target to trigger the headwrap's vault and create an immediate Vulnerable opening.
- ▸Against a group, open with Cyclone Blast to hit the full pack and begin Bleed buildup on every nearby enemy.
- ▸Against one durable target, use Entanglement with Bloodletter to trigger Bleed immediately, then switch to Queen Cobra for focused pressure.
- ▸Finish Bloodletter combos so the Stone Heart engraving spreads 25% Bleed buildup into nearby enemies.
- ▸Use Queen Cobra to reapply Bleed quickly and execute enemies that fall below two Health Segments.
- ▸Chain kills through the group so Nirmala's Robes boost the next hit and Kitsune's Revenge restores Adrenaline for another Cyclone Blast.
- ▸Keep Bleed active so Nirmala's Headwrap grants 100% Armor Piercing against the Afflicted boss.
- ▸Create Vulnerable windows with Tidal Wave, Exposed Wound, or a sprinting vault to activate the trinket's additional Armor Piercing.
- ▸Use Cyclone Blast when adds appear, then return to Queen Cobra once the boss is isolated and within execution range.
