Required Equipment
This build requires The Novemtavo. 300 Evasion dodges half of attacks. 300% Luck greatly increases item effect procs.



Head

The Penitent One negates many effects from the Star Crux. The Penance effect @ 124% thanks to our high Luck will perma-stun The Lady of the Lake.


Neck
Torso

Life Stats. Be Afraid is a bonus. I have one point in enemy barriers for the Star Crux but I'm not sure if it is working.
Weapon

The Fireway effect is bonkers @ 248% chance (I just noticed that Luck % increases item effect %). It fills up most of the screen and was my #1 damage source for my 2nd run.
Waist


Ramping up damage.

Hands

Lightning Zaps is a decent damage effect.
Feet

The Dark Revenge effect (thanks to high Luck) goes off almost every time we get attacked, including evades. The Frog Boss gets melted when you add increased Star Crux boss missiles. Simply stand right in that triple poison spit attack and the encounter is over real fast.
Jewel

120% chance when hit to strike with a Lightning Bolt.

Ring

More Zaps!
Leaf Constellarium

My 2nd clear was using this setup. Tanky.


Finish Screen

Lightning Zaps were from my gloves.
Shred from Constellarium.

Difficulties noted:
17-minute mark mobs hit pretty hard for some reason. Used 1 revive there.
Lady Boss took 4-5 minutes and also had to use a 2nd revive.
The rest of the run was relatively smooth even without using any locations.


Run #2 with Fireway effect stealing the show. No deaths, very comfortable.




Crux 50

Crux 70

Crux 80

Crux 90

Star Crux 100 !!!
The End
That's all there is to it. Just wanted to make a simple guide to share with the community. I'll try optimizing with better gear and actually using locations. Enjoy!

Edit 1: When using locations you can gain levels through experience and therefore use talents. Not sure if the Novemtavo was meant only to not gain experience through shards or if it is a bug. This makes the build even more powerful.

Do this with Nixi, she has a 50% damage to bosses in her talents and a unique weapon that heals you for 25% dmg per hit. With high luck, that's pretty much always.
I have d30 on farm mode.
Absolutely brilliant guide. It helped me get through act 3. Good job.

I got 3 dash blessings achivement by luck !BUT! How i got it: Clo Spinner of fate Legendary +1 dash \ Rabbit statue location \ Little locations on act 3 map that give you random buffs each time. It appears they also can give you + 1 dash.
Can you write the name of the item, please?

Very bad then. Full RNG achievement...

There is a unique mythic that drops in act 3 which gives you another dash slot but in return disables every other slot (dash,power,cast,strike and attack)
I think I got it from the Lady but im not sure

yeah i thought that we can find boots with +1 dash slot but i didnt find
I'm still trying to figure it out, all I know so far is that in constellariumthe "moonsoon" skill gives an extra dash slot, I tried to complete the run with boots with a built-in blessing for dash but it seems that this is not quite what is required. Maybe there are items in the game that give additional dash slots? I have no idea :steamsad:

Maybe u also know how to unlock achievement "breaking the rules" with 3 dashes?
