Route plan
Troubling Delight opens the laser branch and Lazarion turns Whirlwind into Amethyst Conjuration. That makes Companion Damage and summon uptime the route's real engine rather than ordinary Greatsword swings.
- Weapon endpoint: Lazarion
- Character baseline: Mole
- Inventory direction: Companion Damage and summon uptime
Pickup order
Commit only after Troubling Delight appears. Finish Lazarion, keep Golden Handbell and add Companion pieces that activate a useful threshold. Solve MP and defense before collecting another summon that the route cannot sustain.
How to play it
Cast Amethyst Conjuration from a safe lane, then move while companions deal damage. Greatsword attacks fill downtime, but the build should not stand in melee simply because the base weapon is heavy. Recast only when MP and the next escape are available.
Cover Mole's drawbacks
Mole brings Companion Damage but loses Defense and Move Speed. Endure, movement support and safe ranged companions are functional damage choices because they keep the summon engine alive long enough to work.
When to pivot
Without Troubling Delight or Lazarion, keep only Companion pieces that add useful independent damage. Pivot into Whirlwind through Hypersensitivity or into Swift Regret through Swarming Shadow when those branches appear first.
