- Fixed TA/CoV error.
- Updated End-Game gear section.
- End-Game "Gameplay" section Parts 1-4 are tentatively up-to-date. Part 5 is still out-of-date.

- Tweaked Jitan strat.
- Updated strats for the following Ubers:
-- Athulua
-- Lord of Lies
-- The Black Road
-- Eve of Destruction

Are there any other good Xis options? Curious since I'm going to hit 121 soon for the chest and and the sword looks especially good.

Sure. Just tweak the rest of your gear to compensate.

For armor,
Rebel (Xis)
can be a great offensive option,
Curandera (Xis)
gives nearly everything you need defensively in one piece, and
Epicenter (Xis)
is a classic staple item.

Otoh, the weapon options don't really impress me. The only real difference between
Inanna (Xis)
and
Void (Xis)
is more LoA/Res with Inanna vs. more damage with Void.
Brocken (Xis)
has some nice defensive mods, but the rest is pretty meh. Lemures is kinda janky and Protector Spirit won't follow you. You can get nearly the same flat damage on a good Craft, as well as AR, DEX, procs, and CB/DS with socket-fillers/MOs/UMOs.

Hey, I'm having some trouble with early mid-game.currently wearing set sword and chest, chalice of horrors shield, and the rest is the tu's recommended. Having difficulty farming k3k on terror, still dying fairly often in terror tran, and destruction of either is undoable without insane death count. I have a good portion of early game charms, most transferred from a previous 120. Any advice?

Well, the Set pieces aren't that great on their own (you need at least 3 before the %DR bonus kicks in, for example). It's recommended you wait to swap out your gear until you have the full Set.

Chalice of Horrors
isn't doing you any good either unless you're building a proc-based setup. In which case, you'll want a completely different gear set and skillplan than the one listed in the guide. For this setup, you're focused on Physical and Magic damage.

I'd recommend using
Khany
as your weapon (in a Sacred base),
Erawan

Erawan
Body Armors

'LemKoCham'
Runeword Level: 83
15% Combat Speeds
5% Chance of Crushing Blow
+(144 to 171)% Enhanced Defense
(27 to 30)% to Strength
(27 to 30)% to Vitality
Physical Resist (13 to 15)%
(15 to 20)% Bonus to Defense
as your body armor (in a Sacred base),
Truce
Truce
Belts

'Jah'
Runeword Level: 80
5% Combat Speeds
Stun Attack
Slows Attacker by 5%
+(172 to 200)% Enhanced Defense
Physical Resist 10%
as your belt (in a T6 base if the STR req is too high for a Sacred), T6 Honorific gloves, and the rest TUs. That setup will easily take you through all of Mid-Game and Terror farming. If you have lots of Abandoned Shrines lying around, you can craft some gloves and boots for more DEX, and a Spiked Shield with up to 2% CtB and 10% DR until you get the whole Set.

Also, make sure you're keeping Moonstrike active and using Fusillade liberally when farming. Stormblast will tear through Uber bosses and Force Blast makes you practically invincible to Physical damage for as long as it lasts.
