Version, purpose and verified scope
Rod of Kepeleke and Ring of the Midnight Sun form the Vigor expenditure-and-recovery loop. Crushing Hand uses the resulting empowered attacks; Harmony of Ebewaka and Spirit Halls add tags. Hesha e Kesungi supports The Protector as a gathering tool.
Patch family 2.5; level 60. Source variant: Mythic. Author revision: 2026-01-19T11:54:35. This page includes the complete skill allocation, bar, equipment, sockets and board/glyph list. Record and top-rank claims in the source title are not adopted as our own measurements.
Skill, item and glyph names retain unambiguous English planner labels. Numbers in the point table are allocated ranks, not final ranks increased by gear.
Action bar and gameplay
Activate Armored Hide, Ravager and Scourge before attacking. Control larger packs with The Protector and repeatedly use Crushing Hand. Use Counterattack as a defensive window; observe the Vigor bar first if the Kepeleke cycle stalls.

Stats, tempering and upgrade order
Obtain Kepeleke and Midnight Sun before Mythics, then align resource generation and maximum resource. Optimize Resolve, Block and critical scaling afterward. The chosen Mythic setup remains separate from the maximum-push version.
The table lists attributes from the selected source, with preferred Greater/Masterwork targets first. It does not reuse present-day tooltip percentages as historical values.
| Slot | Attribute priority | Tempering |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | Dexterity · All Stats · Movement Speed · Ranks To Velocity | — |
| Weapon | Maximum Resource · Chance For Core Skills To Hit Twice · Critical Strike Damage · Ranks To Velocity | — |
| Gloves | Ranks To Gorilla Skills · Attack Speed · Vulnerable Damage · Ultimate Cooldown Reduction | — |
| Ring 1 | Attack Speed · Dexterity · Maximum Life · Resource Cost Reduction | Worldly Stability Resource Cost Reduction |
| Pants | Maximum Resource · All Stats · Critical Strike Chance · Attack Speed | — |
| Amulet | Maximum Resource · Attack Speed · Ranks Apex · Ranks Brilliance | Worldly Stability Resource Cost Reduction |

| Chest | All Stats · Damage On Next Attack After Entering Stealth · Maximum Life · Resource Generation | — |
Runes and gems
Sockets for the selected variant. A rune pair belongs together in a suitable item; socketed runes and completed Runeword equipment are different things.

| Helm | Emerald + Emerald |
| Weapon | Poc + Que |
| Ring 1 | Topaz |
| Pants | Xol + Xan |
| Amulet | Ruby |
| Ring 2 | Skull |

Limits and safe transitions
The initially found March capture was already prepared for S12. This page instead uses the January capture genuinely marked as S11.
Verify resource sustain, protection and core items together before increasing difficulty. An author’s test with particular gear, density or boss phases does not prove identical performance on every character.
