Double Inversion Face-Tank
WarfarerA Dark Arisen Warfarer tank that works on almost any martial vocation, built around wearing two Rings of Inversion. Each ring doubles your Health, so the pair pushes the pool to roughly 11,000 HP, and Gigantus's Vim wins back the Stamina the rings take away. Relic rolls then layer on defense: Siege Hardened raises Defense and Magick Defense every time you are hit, Survival Instinct and Intrepidity slow the loss gauge, and Prone Defense halves damage while you are knocked down. Shown standing inside a Fimbl's attacks on Hard mode without flinching.

Warfarer
Warfarer is the Arisen-only vocation that can wield every weapon type and learn skills from every other vocation. Rearmament lets it swap weapons mid-fight, so one character can carry a greatsword and a bow and use both skill sets.
The creator's relic greatsword. The defense comes from the rings and armor, not the weapon, so any strong melee weapon works here. Damocles suits a Warfarer because it covers the greatsword skills on the hotbar.
How to Obtain
Relic helm, and the piece that carries Gigantus's Vim on the showcased setup. Without that roll, two Rings of Inversion would leave you with almost no Stamina.

How to Obtain
The rest of the build lives in relic Special Skills on your armor. Gigantus's Vim is mandatory, because two Rings of Inversion cut your Stamina to a quarter. The defensive rolls after it are what turn a big Health pool into a face-tank. Look for the enhanced versions, marked by a blue upward arrow on the skill icon, which hit harder than the base rolls.
The heart of the build, and you wear two. Each ring halves your Stamina and doubles your Health, and the effects multiply, so the second ring doubles an already doubled pool. The showcased character sits at almost 11,000 HP.
How to Obtain
Combat Strategy
- ▸Equip both Rings of Inversion and Gigantus's Vim together. Without the Vim, the rings leave you with very little Stamina.
- ▸Bring a Mage pawn that heals. Survival Instinct and Intrepidity keep most of your Health recoverable, so steady healing goes a long way.
- ▸Equip Intrepidity on your main vocation after unlocking it as a Warrior.
- ▸Trade hits on purpose. Siege Hardened only triggers after you take damage, so standing in the fight keeps your defenses raised.
- ▸Let your pawn heal you between big hits. The slowed loss gauge means the heals restore nearly your full bar.
- ▸If you get knocked down, do not panic. Prone Defense halves damage while you are on the ground.
- ▸Upgrade to enhanced Special Skills when you find them. Enhanced Siege Hardened raises the defense bonus from 30% to 50%.
- ▸Swap in Health rolls on armor pieces that lack the defensive skills. The build scales with every extra point of Health.
- ▸If you main a magick vocation, look for ways to offset the Magick damage penalty from Gigantus's Vim before committing.
