Intro & build description
Great endgame build to push the content and see how far you can go. This build can get quite expensive, however, it scales insanely well with currency invested. If you have never played a blade vortex build before, now is a great time to try.
Build Pros
- Insane damage
- Scales very well with the currency invested
- Pretty tanky with decent life pool and energy shield
- MoM and Acrobatics/ Phase acrobatics
- Works as a league starter
Build Cons
- Not the cheapest build out there

Hello! Thanks for the awesome guides!
I’m leveling Blade Vortex with your guide and I wonder when are u going to update the passive tree, if there’s any change.
Thanks!
Hi, glad you find them useful! The tree was right the entire time, we forgot to change the title for it 🙂
