Season context and purpose
Historical Season 7, patch family 2.1. Complete S7 Orange Quill endgame variant using Kepeleke, Midnight Sun and Banished Lord for advanced Pit progression. Complete historical author plan captured on 2025-03-10. Optimization applies to the named activity and gearing stage; this is not a current or cross-season ranking promise.
Rod of Kepeleke and Ring of the Midnight Sun form the Vigor loop. Banished Lord defines the Overpower version, while Armored Hide and Unyielding Hits integrate Armor into damage scaling. The genuine March 10, 2025 S7 snapshot supplies the 71-point Uber Version; its separate Starter Version is a different progression stage.
Six bar slots and class system
Spirit Hall: Jaguar primary and secondary. Key passive: Prodigy’s Tempo. Thunderspike 2 is an off-bar prerequisite. The exact allocation invests four base points in Armored Hide and three in The Hunter; equipment ranks are additional. The Paragon board is Sapping, not Prodigy’s Tempo.
| Slot | Skill |
|---|---|
| 1 | Quill Volley |
| 2 | Ravager |
| 3 | Armored Hide |
| 4 | Vortex |
| 5 | Scourge |
| 6 | The Hunter |

Equipment, aspects and stat priorities
First verify that a Kepeleke critical strike reliably refills Vigor through Midnight Sun and total resource generation. The archived Uber Version lists 275+ Vigor and Paragon 240+ as the author’s targets; these are conditions for this variant, not universal breakpoints. Then improve Life, Attack Speed, Armor and Quill Volley ranks. Kepeleke carries the double Core hit chance; gloves and ring use resource reduction, and pants and boots use Barrier Generation. This allocation masterworks Harlequin, Shroud and Banished Lord toward maximum Life.
| Role | Equipment / mechanic |
|---|---|
| Weapon | Rod of Kepeleke |
| Helm | Harlequin Crest |
| Chest | Shroud of False Death |
| Gloves | Aspect of Unyielding Hits |
| Pants | Aspect of Disobedience |
| Boots | Duelist’s Aspect |
| Amulet | Banished Lord’s Talisman |
| Ring 1 | Aspect of Redirected Force |
| Ring 2 | Ring of the Midnight Sun |
Rotation and resources
Keep Ravager and Armored Hide active before the damage window. Group with Vortex, use The Hunter for repositioning and Supremacy, then activate Scourge and land Quill Volley from close range. Check that the resource bar returns to full after critical strikes; correct the resource setup first if it stalls. Prodigy’s Tempo supports cooldown cycling. This bar uses Vortex rather than the Soar mentioned in older generic source prose.
Season mechanic and targeted choices
Witchcraft: six powers, at most one unique power, and three Occult Gems in jewelry. Check power tags, aura and gem conditions together. Runes and Mercenaries require Vessel of Hatred.
| Selection |
|---|
| Vengeful Spirit |
| Hex of Whispers |
| Soul Harvest |
| Aura of Siphoning |
| Hex of Flames |
| Aura Specialization |
| Friend of the Bog; Phantom String; Dust Stone |
| Regular gems: Amethyst in armor. |
| Poc + Que; Xol + Xal |
| Raheir: Shield Charge, Raheir’s Guard, Provoke, Mocking Lure |
| Aldkin: Field of Languish |
Paragon: boards and glyphs
First bring glyphs to ranks 15 and 46 for radius increases, then continue toward rank 100. Additional bonuses require enough purchased attributes within range.
Assigned glyphs: Headhunter, Fulminate, Hubris, Spirit, Canny.
| Board | Glyph |
|---|---|
| Start | Headhunter |
| Viscous Shield | Fulminate |
| Sapping | Hubris |
| Convergence | Spirit |
| Revealing | Canny |
Leveling, transition and patch limits
Begin with the source’s separate Starter plan, assembling Kepeleke, Midnight Sun and sufficient resource generation first. Adopt Banished Lord and the Mythics after the Vigor loop works under real combat conditions. Then transition to the complete Uber allocation and its five boards; until then, farm a Pit tier where Barriers and defenses remain stable.
The archived variant graph and its explicitly Season 7 skill and board data are authoritative here. The guide also contains older S6 FAQ prose about subsequently changed bugs and other glyphs; those passages are not reused as S7 mechanics or proof of a Pit 150 clear. Headhunter, Fulminate, Hubris, Spirit and Canny are the five actually assigned glyphs. Later Kepeleke, resource or Witchcraft changes require a fresh check.
