Strength- 268+ to hit the threshold to full strip with pillage

Range- don’t need, we don’t care about allies here

Duration- High for pillage range

Efficiency- low because 3 returns energy on kill

Arcanes-
Molt augmented is mandatory.
Molt efficiency is your flex. You can slot anything you want over it, like a melee/primary arcane

Shards-
2x casting speed- always helpful

1x tauforged or 2x regular strength shards- lets you drop augur secrets for something else.

Weapons-
Recommended to use raw damage weapons or viral heat/elec weapons, like [Phantasma], [Proboscis Cernos], etc… Keep in mind, using a weapon that can hit headshots means you can return more energy from thurible.

Highly recommended to use vazarin protective sling, for iframes when channeling thurible and for survivability in general, due to a lack of cc
