Arcanic timings and balance can shift between Preludes patches; confirm ranks, attunement, and recipes in-game before spending materials.

How to unlock the Pact

Craft Mora's Hand at Nightfold using 1 Pact Fragment, 55 Scrap Brass, 15 Sappheline, 50 Quenching Acid, and 5,000 Dracs (Bond 3; ~27h craft time).

Core Arcanics

• Ignus Wroth (courage) — Casts a field of flame on the ground that damages enemies within range.
• Ember (spirit) — When enemies hit you, unleashes a fire AoE attack around you. Passive retaliation.
• Inferno (grace) — Fires a fireball dealing massive Fire damage. Deals bonus damage to enemies already on fire.

Suggested loop (general)

1. Ignus Wroth under enemy packs
2. Blitzel Arrow Hail into the fire zone
3. Inferno on burning single targets
4. Kite while Ember punishes melee attackers

Gear direction

• Blitzel — common pick for this route (verify virtue attunement before crafting).
• Grinn — common pick for this route (verify virtue attunement before crafting).

Virtue focus and differences

Primary virtue is Courage. Compared with other Mora's Hand variants (ranged, tank, or magick), this page stresses ranged positioning and Arcanic timing. If your group lacks control or sustain, consider a sister build instead of forcing one virtue stack.

Pros

• High AOE Damage

How to play it

• Ignus Wroth under enemy packs — place the fire field before they scatter; all subsequent attacks benefit from burn synergy.
• Blitzel Arrow Hail into the fire zone — ranged Courage scaling on bow complements the ground fire for AoE clears.
• Inferno on burning single targets — fireball deals bonus damage to enemies already on fire; prioritize elites inside Ignus Wroth.
• Kite while Ember punishes melee — passive retaliation AoE triggers when enemies close; maintain distance and let Ember work.
• Courage scales bow and fire Arcanics — Blitzel and Ignus Wroth both need Courage investment.

Common mistakes

• Casting Inferno before Ignus Wroth — burn synergy requires enemies to be on fire first; reverse the order for maximum damage.
• Standing still in melee range — Ember helps but this build is still squishy; kite between Arrow Hail channels.
• Ignoring Grinn sidearm — keep Grinn equipped for close emergencies when enemies breach your fire zone.

FAQ

• Is this build verified? verified: false in catalog — confirm burn stacking and Ember proc rate in your client.
• Mora's Hand ranged vs melee Courage? Ranged routes use Blitzel bow for kiting; melee variants trade range for personal burst.
• Best for overworld? Yes — Ignus Wroth + Arrow Hail clears packs efficiently; boss fights may need more single-target focus.
