Mechanics and historical version

Six Vyr pieces and both Chantodo weapons form the developed variant described in the prose. Fazula starts Archon with stacks; Swami preserves them outside the form. Furnace replaces the low-gear example’s Scourge power.

Rotation and positioning

Outside Archon, use the spender to build Chantodo and trigger Zodiac, using Electrocute when Arcane Power runs low. Return to Archon before Swami stacks expire. In Archon, use melee attacks and explosions to build stacks and Teleport to reposition.

Stats, sockets and progression

Prioritize cooldown reduction for the next Archon, critical stats and matching elemental rolls; add Armor/Vitality for melee pressure. Safe Passage outside Archon does not automatically turn Archon’s own Teleport into the same rune.

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 author explicitly describes the original equipment examples as not fully optimized. This profile selects the expressly described Chantodo/Furnace options and does not claim a historical top rank.
