Mercenary Weapon	Insight	Provides Level 15 Meditation Aura
Core Summon	Hephasto	Provides Conviction Aura (green) and Cursed (Amplify Damage) effect
Auxiliary Summon	Corrupted One	Increases Fire Damage and Fire Resist Shred upon absorption

· Before starting combat, cast War Cries for buffs, summon the Corrupted One, absorb it, then summon Hephasto.
· Use Teleport to move around, cast Apocalypse on the ground and unleash Fire Waves with right-click to attack.
· In full games, use Corpse Explosion (Death) together for area damage.
· In boss fights, cast Decrepify first, then attack.
· If mana is low, you can equip a Stone of Jordan instead of Nagels to replenish mana.

· The build's performance is verified through full game Diablo and Baal hunts.
· The initial setup had 32% Fire Resist Shred, but feeling a lack of damage in full game hunts, the helm was replaced with Griffon's Eye and a Fire Resist Shred jewel was added to the shield.
· After replacing the helm, hunting speed significantly improved with 44% Fire Resist Shred, and by adding a 5% Fire Resist Shred jewel to the shield, a final 49% Fire Resist Shred was achieved.
· With the 49% Fire Resist Shred setup, full game Baal hunts are possible without difficulty, and thanks to the mercenary's Insight aura, mana is not a concern during gameplay.
