Blade Vortex Trickster Build In POE 3.20

Mar 06, 2023

Welcome back to another build review. In this article, I will highlight all the necessary information for you to decide whether this build is suitable for you.

Blade Vortex

Today’s build is an explosive Blade Vortex Trickster with the Shadow class.

This builds summon ethereal blades that float around you, shredding everything that comes near.

POE BLADE VORTEX TRICKSTER build

Pros

  • Cheap
  • Safe gameplay
  • Awesome clear speed
  • Easy to build
  • Easy leveling
  • Many layers of defense

To list the pros of this build, I would start with how smooth is the gameplay. Most of the time you just walk in, all nearby enemies just die and create a chain reaction of explosions.

It’s just great and satisfying to farm maps and as a trickster, this build also comes with great defensive layers.

Cons

  • Stay too close to enemies
  • Boss damage is not great

Now, to list the cons, the first thing that comes to mind is the single target damage.

This build has around 4 million DPS while focusing on bosses. This is more than enough to kill map bosses, but you take more time for Guardians and Pinnacle ones.

Budget

To Clear White Maps

  • 4 Links + Cheap Gear
  • 100 x Chaos Orbs

To Clear Yellow Maps

  • 5 Links + Mid Gear
  • 130 x Chaos Orbs

To Complete The Atlas

  • 6 Links + Good Gear
  • 4 x Divine Orbs

*As for budget, you can get it destroying early endgame maps with around 100 Chaos Orbs.

*To comfortable events to yellow maps, you need to invest around 130 Chaos Orbs.

*And for easily completing your atlas, I recommend investing around 4 Divine Orbs.

Don’t forget it, on Poebuilds.net, you can find a list with all the equipment that you need to purchase for this build with direct links to examples being sold for other players.

This build needs three mandatory unique items:

POE The Devouring Diadem Necromancer Circlet

*The first one is The Devouring Diadem Necromancer Circlet, which allows you to activate all auras and use your energy shield as mana.

*Following, we have the Obliteration Demon’s Horn wand that causes killed enemies to explode. You are going to use two Obliteration wands while clearing maps for more clear speed.

*Finally, we have the Cold Iron Point Ezomyte Dagger that grants +3 to the level of all physical skill gems. Use two of those daggers on bosses for maximum damage.

Clear Speed

For clear speed, this build gets 9 out of 10.

As mentioned before, most of the time, you just need to move while your enemies explode around you.

Boss Damage

The boss damage on the other hand, gets 7 out of 10.

Even using Cold Iron Points, this build would take a little longer than usual to kill Guardians and Pinnacle bosses, but don’t worry.

I meant this build has a red map farmer, and it kills map bosses with no issue.

Survivability

For this survivability, I’ll give it 9 out of 10.

Even though you have to stay very close to bosses, this build comes with a significant amount of defensive layers. These include high evasion, high armor and spell suppression.
