Build Scaling Quick Reference

Scales From: ATK (100% pet inheritance), Summon DMG%, Equipment ATK% (double-dips: your ATK AND inherited by summons)

Core Synergy: Mars (+90% Summon ATK, +50% Summon HP/ATK Speed) → Guttorm of suit 4pc (+35% Summon ATK Speed) → Guttorm of suit 2pc (+20% Summon Crit) + Tier 2B (40%) = 60% pet crit → Tier 3B (+35% auto-DMG per living summon)

Weakness: Dead archer = dead pets — your HP/DEF matters as much as damage stats

Affix Priority: Equipment ATK% > Crit Rate > ATK Speed

Why Pet Summon Is Unique

1. Pets inherit 100% ATK/DEF/DMG bonus — Your gear directly powers your summons
2. Tier 2A removes duration limit — Permanent summons with no upkeep once cast
3. Bear or dual hounds — T1A bear deals 300% DMG/2s with 40% HP inheritance; T1B dual hounds for sustained DPS
4. Tier 3B empowers the archer — +35% auto-DMG and 35% triple-shot chance per summon
5. Effective extra bodies on the field — Pets draw aggro, tank hits, and deal passive damage

Recommended Card

Best: Mars (★4) — Summon Synergy

Summon Amplification Mechanic: Mars directly multiplies your pets' inherited stats. Since pets already inherit 100% of your ATK/DEF/DMG bonus, Mars effectively gives your pets +90% ATK and +50% HP at max stars. The +20% DMG per active summon also buffs the archer — with 2 hounds active, that is +40% personal DMG.

Why Mars over Wolf Pack? Mars at max stars gives +90% Summon ATK, +50% Summon HP, +50% Summon ATK Speed, AND +20% DMG per active summon for the archer. Wolf Pack adds a summon body count, which helps Tier 3B stacking (+35% auto-DMG per summon), but Mars's raw stat multiplication on each summon produces more total damage. With Guttorm of suit set adding +35% Summon ATK Speed on top, Mars creates overwhelming sustained DPS from just 2 summons.

Budget Alternative: Wolf Pack — Extra Summons

Adds an additional wolf summon to the field. Use if you want maximum T3B stacking (+35% auto-DMG per summon for more personal DPS) over raw pet damage.

Alt: Rex Savage — ★4

Use Rex Savage if you play the T3B personal DPS build (archer stacking auto-DMG per summon). The per-auto stacking mechanic pairs with T3B's triple-shot chance. Inferior to Mars for pet-focused builds.

Equipment Set

Best: Guttorm of suit — ★4

Why Guttorm of suit is the summon set: Every bonus directly buffs your summoned pets. The 4pc +35% Summon ATK Speed stacks with Mars's +50% Summon ATK Speed for a combined +85% — your hounds/bear attack nearly twice as fast. The 2pc +20% Summon Crit gives your hounds (which already have 40% crit from T2B) a total 60% crit rate. The 3pc +30% Summon DR keeps pets alive longer, which maintains your T3B stacking (+35% auto-DMG per living summon). This set makes your summons deal more damage, survive longer, AND enables higher personal DPS through sustained T3B uptime.

Gem Setup

Early Game (Before Guttorm of suit 4pc)

Without Guttorm of suit's +35% Summon ATK Speed, your pets attack slower and benefit more from raw ATK:

Equipment	Socket 1	Socket 2	Socket 3	Why
Weapon	Ruby (ATK)	Ruby (ATK)	Ruby (ATK)	ATK directly transfers to summons via 100% inheritance — maximize base
Ring	Ruby (ATK)	Ruby (ATK)	Topaz (Crit)	More ATK = stronger pets; Crit benefits archer auto-attacks
Armor	Emerald (HP)	Emerald (HP)	Sapphire (DEF)	Pets inherit 20-40% HP; DEF for early Abyss survival
Amulet	Emerald (HP)	Sapphire (DEF)	Sapphire (DEF)	DEF-heavy — dead archer = dead pets

Endgame (With Guttorm of suit 4pc)

Guttorm of suit's +35% Summon ATK Speed means pets attack much faster. Combined with Mars's +50%, pets are attacking at +85% speed — shift focus to ATK and Crit DMG to maximize each hit:

Equipment	Socket 1	Socket 2	Socket 3	Why
Weapon	Ruby (ATK)	Ruby (ATK)	Ruby (ATK)	ATK directly transfers to summons via 100% inheritance — maximize base
Ring	Ruby (ATK)	Ruby (ATK)	Topaz (Crit)	More ATK = stronger pets; Crit for archer auto-attacks and T3B triple-shot
Armor	Emerald (HP)	Emerald (HP)	Sapphire (DEF)	Pets inherit HP; DEF mitigation for Abyss survival
Amulet	Emerald (HP)	Sapphire (DEF)	Sapphire (DEF)	DEF-heavy — dead archer = dead pets; Guttorm of suit covers pet offense

Guttorm of suit shifts the gem balance: Early game, stack pure Ruby because pets are slow and need raw ATK per hit. With Guttorm of suit 4pc (+35% ATK Speed) and Mars (+50% ATK Speed), pets attack so fast that crit becomes more valuable — each hit has a chance to crit, and more hits/sec = more crit procs. The archer also benefits from Crit DMG for T3B triple-shot procs.

Equipment Affixes

Priority	Affix	Why
1	Equipment ATK%	Double-dips: multiplies YOUR base ATK AND is inherited by all summons via 100% ATK inheritance; Mars further multiplies the inherited value
2	Crit Rate	Benefits archer auto-attacks and T3B triple-shot procs; Guttorm of suit 2pc adds +20% Summon Crit for pets
3	ATK Speed	More archer auto-attacks = more T3B triple-shot procs; stacks with Mars and Guttorm of suit for overall DPS increase
