Mechanics and historical version
Shadow6, Karlei’s Point and Holy Point Shot form the attack core. Chain of Shadows enables Vault after Impale; Endless Walk and Elusive Ring add damage and protection. Dawn sustains Vengeance availability.

Rotation and positioning
Activate Shadow Power and maintain Vengeance and Fan of Knives protection. Impale elites deliberately and Vault between attack windows. Avoid throwing into empty space: Karlei needs suitable hit targets to sustain Hatred.
Stats, sockets and progression
Prioritize Lightning and Impale damage, critical stats and about 37% personal cooldown reduction with perfect Dawn. High Hatred sustains Aquila; overly low difficulty can disrupt Karlei refunds because targets die too quickly.
Archive boundaries and source review
This is a dated archive configuration optimized for its stated activity. Historical Greater Rift records are not inferred from current item tooltips; later set multipliers do not apply to this version.
The Season 11 extension is a patch-delta inference: 2.6.0 did not change these six skills or this item combination. This supports continued availability, not a new leaderboard rank.
