Ascension 3
Each subsequent hit from this Champion deals 33% more damage (stacks up to 99%). Resets after the 99% damage bonus is applied.

Each subsequent hit this Champion receives deals 33% (11% from Bosses) less damage. Stacks up to 3 times. Resets after the damage reduction is applied for the third time.

Whenever an enemy is revived, revives this Champion with 33% HP and 66% Turn Meter. After being revived, places a [True Fear] debuff on all enemies for 2 turns. This debuff cannot be resisted or blocked.

Skill texts, cooldowns and book upgrades are the game's own. "Damage" is the skill's multiplier (for example 4×ATK = four times this champion's ATK, before the target's DEF) - see how damage works.

Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Sanguine Maria's own skills - not a hand-tested build. Each line says why it was picked; your gear and team decide the rest. See what stats each champion needs.

  • Brimstone - Damage that scales from the target's MAX HP and punishes enemies for using skills; guaranteed at the top level.

Relics

  • Tempus Sanguinis - Makes the wearer's turn-meter reduction effects stronger, for champions that spend their turns pushing enemies back.
  • Mind of Marquat - Hits can place [Fatigue], which slows an enemy's turn meter - useful against enemies that can be fatigued.
  • Diabolical Dice - Can lengthen an enemy skill's cooldown before a single-target attack, and hits harder while enemy skills are cooling down.
