SEPHIRIA GUIDE

Deer Bloodletting Gearblade Build

Convert excess health into stronger normal attacks with Bloodletting Gearblade. Build Star Ruby, life steal and attack speed around a timed buff that caps your active HP at 50.

Deer

Health conversion

Recover first. Activate. Keep attacking.

Bloodletting snapshots excess health when activated. Recover before casting, attack during the buff, and reposition when the window ends. A 50-HP cap leaves little room for a badly timed hit.

BUILD LOADOUT

Bloodletting loadout

Read in order: character, talent points, weapon route, then Artifacts and Combo targets.

Complete loadout
01

Character

Deer for the fountain opening

Deer
Primary characterUse thisDeer

Deer supports the two-item legendary opening, but starts with -90% critical chance. This route deliberately leaves Precision out. Unlock Deer by clearing without using the unlocked Wishing Fountain.

Braided Hair Rabbit
Alternative characterAlternativeBraided Hair Rabbit

The video lists Braided Hair Rabbit as an alternative. Its fountain setup differs; do not assume it can bring the same opening pair.

02

Talent points

50-point allocation used in the video

Author baselineUse this20 Swiftness, 20 Willpower, 10 Ingenuity

Use this allocation when you have all 50 talent points. This exact starting setup requires the full allocation. Willpower improves reward access; it is not direct MP regeneration.

03

Weapon route

Steel Greatsword → Bone Gearblade → Bloodletting Gearblade

Steel Greatsword
Tier 1Use thisSteel Greatsword

Group early enemies before using the charged special attack.

Bone Gearblade
Tier 2Use thisBone Gearblade

Use Reassemble to switch into continuous normal attacks. Reapply the buff when it expires; the opening feels slower outside it.

Bloodletting Gearblade
Tier 3 endpointUse thisBloodletting Gearblade

Bloodletting caps Max HP at 50 during the buff. Excess Max HP increases basic attack damage; excess current HP at activation increases total damage. Recover before activating.

04

Artifacts and Combos

Health, normal attacks and recovery

Star Ruby
ArtifactUse thisStar Ruby

The main scaling item. Take additional copies and levels to increase Max HP before Bloodletting converts the excess.

Mystical Pendulum
ArtifactUse thisMystical Pendulum

First fountain pick for normal attack damage. Its attack-speed penalty makes Swiftness and Wind Song valuable.

Bloodstone Earrings
ArtifactUse thisBloodstone Earrings

Second fountain pick for life steal. Level them to reduce the defense penalty; healing after a hit does not prevent a lethal hit.

White Cape
ArtifactBuild toward thisWhite Cape

Optional comfort pick that extends your self-applied buffs, reducing how often you need to refresh Bloodletting.

Stone Spindle Whorl
ArtifactUse thisStone Spindle Whorl

Supports MP-consuming abilities. The video demonstrates its synergy with Bloodletting; use it with Lake rather than adding a Precision package.

Wings
ArtifactBuild toward thisWings

Converts bonus attack speed into damage amplification. Add it after your health and recovery core.

Agma Projection Sword No. 190, 191
ArtifactUse thisAgma Projection Sword No. 190, 191

Adds physical damage and contributes to Sturdy.

Begonia Sachet
ArtifactBuild toward thisBegonia Sachet

Useful repeatable normal-attack support; take copies when the health core and bag space allow it.

Sturdy Combo
Wind Song Combo
Lake Combo
Combo targetsUse thisSturdy 10, Wind Song 10, Lake 9

Lake supplies MP and MP-consuming ability support, not Max HP. Star Ruby is the health engine; do not force Precision into this Deer route.

PLAY THE BUILD

01Star Ruby

Set up the health route

Take Deer, the 50-point Swiftness allocation, Mystical Pendulum and Bloodstone Earrings. Set Sturdy and Lake to 100% in Fruit Skewers and Wind Song to 50%. Pick Duelist or Guard as the Miracle.

Look for Star Ruby in the opening rewards. Deer trades critical chance for the easier fountain setup, so spend your inventory budget on health, attack speed and Lake instead of trying to repair critical chance.

02Bone Gearblade

Use Reassemble through the first stage

Upgrade to Bone Gearblade at the first anvil. Activate Reassemble, then maintain normal attacks while the buff is active. Refresh it during safe boss pauses instead of waiting until you are surrounded.

Prioritize Star Ruby and useful HP rewards. Begonia Sachet and attack-speed support help the normal-attack opening; keep tablets available to level your important items.

03Bloodletting Gearblade

Activate Bloodletting from healthy HP

Take Bloodletting Gearblade at the next anvil. Its conversion is determined at activation: excess Max HP feeds basic attack damage, while excess current HP feeds total damage. A larger health pool and recovering before the cast serve different parts of the effect.

The active 50-HP cap is a real risk. Keep Bloodstone Earrings leveled, avoid large telegraphed hits, and use White Cape if available to make the short buff easier to maintain.

04Stone Spindle Whorl

Finish Lake and attack-speed scaling

Collect Lake pieces and Stone Spindle Whorl for the MP-consuming ability interaction demonstrated with Bloodletting. Lake does not raise Max HP: continue collecting Star Ruby for that job.

Add Wings and work toward Sturdy 10, Wind Song 10 and Lake 9. Extra Star Rubies improve the ceiling, but the final bag’s duplicates are not a required shopping list.

05Bloodstone Earrings

Keep the boss plan safer than the showcase

Attack during the Bloodletting window, watch its expiry and reposition to recover or refresh safely. The final video fight trades hits with a fully developed build; do not treat that as permission to stand still with incomplete recovery.

Avoid spending all rerolls on record damage. Prioritize the health engine, life-steal levels and buff uptime; if your game lacks Bloodletting Gearblade, Bone Gearblade alone does not provide the health conversion.
