Sirin · Melee Courage
Melee Courage focus. Wield the power of the Sirin Pact. Learn about its Arcanics, Passives, and where to obtain it. This melee Courage route for the Sirin Pact is aimed at solo play, overworld farming — not a single BiS list, but a practical loop you can adapt as you unlock weapons and runes. Arcanic timings and balance can shift between Preludes patches; confirm ranks, attunement, and recipes in-game before spending materials.
