Damage engine and purpose
Build Chantodo charges outside Archon and spend them alongside Vyr stacks inside Archon. Swami overlaps two generations of Archon stacks; Fazula supports entry.
Item, skill and rune names use their English game spelling for unambiguous lookup. Explanations, rotation and limitations are fully translated.

Legendary and normal gems
Legendary gems: Bane of the Powerful / Bane of the Trapped / Gogok of Swiftness.
Normally use an Emerald in weapon sockets; choose the helm socket for cooldown or Life needs. Match armour sockets to missing main stat or toughness. Seasonal Soul Shards replace helm or weapon gems only in the explicitly identified seasons.
Stats, cooldowns and optimisation
Intelligence, Cold, high CDR and reliable recovery outside Archon. Attack speed supports charges; do not replace the two-piece engine for sheet weapon DPS.
Complete the required legendary powers, correct runes and full set bonuses first. Cooldown reduction combines multiplicatively; do not simply add percentage rolls. Weigh a boss gem against a farming gem according to actual boss-fight length.
Rotation: preparation, damage, refresh
Step 1
Activate protection buffs and collect Chantodo charges with Arcane Torrent.
Step 2
Use Black Hole before Archon, then enter Archon and build stacks through close attacks.
Step 3
Play cautiously when overlapping Swami stacks expire and prepare the next charging phase.
Patch boundaries and verifiable context
The dated version was published during Season 17. Active Vyr/Chantodo sets disable the LoN seasonal power; this set alternative nevertheless formed its own strong playstyle.
Season 18 has a separate Squirt/Triune version. The later 2.6.7 Chantodo attack-speed adjustment is not backdated.
Check before the next equipment change
Count set pieces before replacing a free armour slot. Equipping and cubing an identical legendary power does not double it. Solo Unity requires a follower wearing the other ring with immortality equipped.
This archive describes the period configuration. A current item database may show new numbers under the same name; those live tooltips do not prove historical multipliers. Old seasonal powers cannot be replayed on current non-seasonal characters.
