Damage engine and purpose
New Mundunugu scales Spirit Barrage. The Barber accumulates damage; Gazing Demise’s Phantasm still counts as a pet in this season and benefits from Jeram/Enforcer.
Item, skill and rune names use their English game spelling for unambiguous lookup. Explanations, rotation and limitations are fully translated.
Six skills and runes

| Spirit Barrage · Phlebotomize | Primary attack; Gazing Demise adds Phantasm and Barber accumulates damage. |
| Piranhas · Piranhado | Pull packs together before the damage window. |
| Spirit Walk · Jaunt | Reach Harvest targets safely or escape danger. |
| Soul Harvest · Languish | Build stacks and survival protection. |

Legendary and normal gems
Legendary gems: Enforcer / Bane of the Trapped / Bane of the Stricken.
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 for Phantasm, Barrage damage, CDR and Mana. Build Harvest protection; Barber explosions are not an arbitrarily stacking instant direct hit.
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
Use Spirit Walk and Harvest for protection, then Locust for Ring of Emptiness.
Step 2
Group with Piranhado and place Phantasms into the pack; position Big Bad Voodoo safely.
Step 3
Refresh protection and marking; release Barber accumulation deliberately through new Phantasms or expiry.
Patch boundaries and verifiable context
The author lists Ring of Emptiness both worn and cubed. This archive corrects the Cube to Royal Grandeur so five Mundunugu and two Crimson pieces activate their bonuses.
2.6.9/Season 21 removes pet bonuses from Phantasm. Mask of Jeram and Enforcer are therefore replaced in the next archive version.
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.
