- The Eldritch Knight is a versatile Ritualist build with a fun playstyle centered on inflicting status effects. This hybrid Tank/DPS build is able to shrug off damage from Apocalypse-level enemies, all while dealing substantial Ranged and Status Effect Damage of its own.

📌 BUILD UPDATES (view replies for more):
As of patch 417,127 (April 23, 2024), this build has received some HEAVY nerfs to its damage. Whispering Marble and Dried Clay Ring both took a slight hit to its damage while Ahanae and Singed lost their multiplicative modifiers (additive now). Additionally, there's been DOT nerfs across the board (Fetid Wounds, Tainted Blade, Twisting Wounds, and Pipe Bombs ALL got hit). The crit chance from Ritualist's and Challenger's damage perk both got cut in half (total crit chance from Archetypes went from 20% to 10%). Finally, Sparkfire Shotgun received a slight nerf to fire rate and reload speed. I'm pretty disappointed with how much they gutted the damage of this build and for DOT builds in general; hopefully they make some adjustments moving forward.
As of patch 408,516, Twisting Wounds' Bleed DOT has been fixed. Blood Jewel has also been fixed. Additionally, I no longer recommend Stone of Malevolence as it has received a significant nerf to its mod gen (devs confirmed it was previously bugged).
As of patch 399,597, the Affliction trait has been (mostly) fixed . I highly recommend swapping Band of the Fanatic with another ring of your choice. I prefer Ring of the Robust to increase the build's survivability which is especially important for co-op Apocalypse.
After testing the Maelstrom Mutator on the Sparkfire Shotgun, I highly recommend it as an alternative to Fetid Wounds.
With Maelstrom you gain 20% increased mod gen and up to 30% flat damage. By switching off Fetid Wounds you'll lose the extra DOT and crit potential; however, running Maelstrom also allows you to switch off the Ranged Crit Chance Relic Fragment to one of your choice (I recommend Skill Cooldown).
Thank you to Gleisle from the Remnant Discord for suggesting Maelstrom!
If you'd like to see the Mutator testing video, you may find it here: czcams.com/video/m1W2JOL-SJk/video.html
Wouldn’t removing both fetid wounds and Crit chance relic drop the crit rate extensively? Does the extra damage from maelstrom compensate?
@@FrostM89 yes, you are correct. There are some tradeoffs if switching to Maelstrom. However, the mod gen alone from Maelstrom is enough to consider using it over Fetid Wounds.
Maelstrom = INSANE mod gen + consistent flat dmg
Fetid Wounds = another DOT + more crit potential
It's honestly just so nice to see someone posting a build video, who properly understands the game mechanics and how each amulet/ring effects the archetype you're using. Kudos to an amazing build.
This is the best comment I've received! Thank you 😭
Awesome build man. Got through apocalypse earlier today with pretty good ease too!
This has been my go to build since I saw you post it in your Discord. Absolutely love it!
Thank you for trying it out! I'm glad you've been enjoying. This might be my favorite build yet
I’ve been playing around with ritualistic challenger builds that I’ve really been enjoying. Definitely going to give this one a shot.
Man, I just loved this build! It has good defense and damage is also very good! It's already one of my favorites. thanks!
This build absolutely destroyed Apocalypse mode. I really enjoy playing your builds, looking forward to more.
I am so happy you put that ending clip in xD
It's the exact same one that you made so thank you for clipping it! 🤣 Still don't know HOW you lived such a far fall lol
Thanks for sharing this build, I don’t have a rune gun yet so I messed with things a bit:
Krell+stormbringer, spark + twisting wounds, nebula+killswitch, flash caster or swiftness(I feel so slow). This has got to be the most comfortable build I’ve played,
Nicely put together, Duds! 🔥
I want to start by saying this build is incredible and has made Apocalypse difficulty substantially more achievable. One minor suggestion: Burden of the Departed works a little better than the Singed Ring. Burden of the Departed increases all damage dealt by 10% ( including status effects) while reducing your total relic charges by 33%. This is an acceptable sacrifice given that the Tranquil Heart is mainly useful as a passive relic. By using Burden, you keep the 10% bonus whether or not your first shot comes from the shotgun
Hands down my fave build in the game
Im playing it with dendoid amour with knotted chest piece for unlimited doges in combat but still getting 40% Dr.
Running with overload on sparkfire and corrosive on tech22.
For anyone who likes run and gun shotgun builds I cant recommend this enough.
homie droppin Venom with ease. Great build brotha
The coliseum has trained me for this moment 💪 Thanks for the love
Nice build. For the flex slot I go with Anastasia's Inspiration along with Tranquil Heart. Permanent Hate is under-rated IMO.
4:25 fellas was locked in! 🥶
Totally didn't almost die there 🤣
Once im done with leveling all archtypes to 10. I'll use this for my very first apo run :) seems tanky i like it.
I just got ritualist to 10 last night, just coming back to the game since release. I only have about 3-4 archetypes maxed, but ritualist might be the one to pull me away from medic. It’s so insanely fun and the damage is just absurd!!
Hey sorry i know this vid is a few months old but i only started R2 a week ago, i dont have the curropted shards for the rune pistol, do you think the starshot with the failsafe mod would be good substitute?
Best thing about eruption builds is you can use it without line of sight, allowing you to e.g. play hide and seek with venom or clear mobs around walls. I run ritualist/challenger as a skill spam build with 75% cd and I am very happy with the playstyle. Less tanky than yours though.
this sounds interesting :D can i know how you build it?

Sounds like a cool build! Eruption and War Stomp spam is very fun ^^
Who did the voice over Duds? 😅
Nice build i will testing him.
Can i swap the band of fanatic ring with hardcore matal band ? More bulwark stacks for more damage and damage reduction.
Thank you, I hope you will enjoy the build!
I do not recommend Hardcore Metal Band. This build already has 4 stacks of Bulwark while the max amount of Bulwark you can have is 5.
The best ring for more tankiness would be Seal of the Empress for +20 HP; boosting the Effective HP of this build to over 600.
@@dudleygg I doesn’t know for the max stacks of bulwark.
Thanks !
Going by the normal naming we use for archetypes I'm giggling because this build is RICH
You're right! It's perfect; you'll be RICH after picking up all the scrap from breakables getting destroyed by Vile 🤣
I know Shotguns gets a bad rep in this game, But I Love fighting in Close Quarters in Remnant here's what I use I'm sure I'm missing out on alot of damage because of things I don't know about the game, if you have any ideas that can improve this build or a build that's more optimal I would love too see or hear it. I like the Gun play more than Mods personally.
Consumables ( Bark Extract + celestial thaen Fruit ) Quick Slots ( Ammo Crates, Slow Grenades , Debuff Grenades, Bleed Grenades)
Ford's Scattergun ( Hotshot+Twisted Wounds)
Hellfire ( with the mutator that replenish ammo for both weapons )
Smolder ( with the mutator that replenish 5% ammo for both weapons)
Talisman of the Sun
Singed Ring
Zanias Malice
Provisioners Ring
Stone of Balance
Challenger/ Rampage+ Handler/Attack dog
Traits: (Strongback + Kinship) Vigor, Endurance, Spirit, Expertise, Fortify, barkskin , Handling, Blood bond , Rugged all + 10
Relic: Enlarged heart ( mythic Ranged Damage, Mythic Weak spot Damage, Mythic Stagger damage)
Armor: full technician set with Navigators Helmet.
Knowing that Shotguns have no range my entire plan is too be aggressive and As Tanky as possible while not heavy Rolling. Use archetype Skills, then Send the Dog in to draw aggro and apply bleed so I can get close set them on fire with a few rounds from hellfire swap to Shotgun let off the first 7 rounds while they're burning, instant reload with hotshot by that time rampage is active I just unleashed as much damage as possible with the unlimited ammo. Once skills are on cool down I just stay in close basically weapon swapping in between mags while both my weapons reload themselves and Replenish the ammo just by firing and keeping the bleed+ Fire applies at all times. Super Fun in my opinion
I had fun with this build and beat my first Apocalypse with this. Thx!
Been a big fan of your builds. I'm going to try this one. Do you have any updates coming on previous ones? Specifically misty step dps? Also looking for a good arbalest build from someone. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words 🥹 I hope you end up liking this build!
No updates coming for the old builds yet; I'll have to sit down and see how the new items and trait points could improve the old builds.
I did come up with a fun Misty Step Ritualist build that I think is better than the old DPS one though! No video for it rn but here's a pic of the build (full info in my Discord): bit.ly/3RsNSIV
Thanks@@dudleygg ! I messed around with this one last night and really enjoyed it. I want a damn transmog system...So Tired of Leto2 everyone. Thanks again! Looking forward to the next one.
Would it mess with the build too much if I swap the class around and have challenger as main?
I totally forgot to mention this in the video; thank you for bringing it up!
Swapping to Challenger main for the 2nd life is viable but you'll lose the ability to spread status effects on kill (which is this build's best mobbing tool).
For troublesome bosses I'd say it's perfectly fine. However, outside of boss rooms you should def run Ritualist main.
Why double corroded on shotgun ? Make Twisted Wounds and you get fire, bleed and poison with shotgun only or i missed something ? :D But great Build, i play the same as favorite.. little bit different
Fetid Wounds & Corrosion Rounds are preferred as they both help to increase critical hit chance. I believe the extra crit potential on the Shotgun to be much more valuable than the flat 20% ranged damage from Twisting Wounds.
There also isn't any downside to having double corroded as they will stack on top of eachother.
Ultimately, run what you feel most comfortable with!
@@dudleygg sounds great too :D every1 has its own playstyle i guess ^^ i like all with one :D
is pipe bomb really that necessary cause i dont like throwing in this game ;)
Since we already get a stack of bleed from the Twisting Wounds Mutator, it's not necessary to use Pipe Bomb! It's just a minor optimization to squeeze out a little more DOT damage 🩸
I do admit that throwing in this game is clunky asf lol
Is this build noob friendly I just bought the dlc and got the Archetype but was wondering if this is easy to use for people like me people that are new to Remnant
It is a very tanky build so I'd say it's great for newer players to try!
@dudleygg ok cool thanks bro
Is your ingame name the same as your channel name? I saw that name last night
YO that was definitely me! I remember seeing your name as well. I was streaming at the time so us playing together is somewhere in the VOD!
That means me falling off the map in the second phase is on there lmao. Thanks to you and the other guy for finishing it though
How do I get the dried clay ring? cant find any info on CZcams
Random Losomn drop, just gotta keep steaming through both versions, Nightweaver and Faerin
@@FatalFist ok thanks 🙂
Beaqo in the comments
Thanks for the support, Beaqo. Here, you dropped this -> 👑
Too bad that ring only in hardcore :(
At least it's from Yaesha hardcore clear where you can just kill the Doe 😅
You can start a new character, reroll until you get yaesha with the correct spawn. When you do pick challenger and get medic pin aswell along with hot shot and the assault rifle not LMG you can get from Brabus and on survivor difficulty and it’s a breeze, I just got it under 2 hours and once you get back to ward 13 on that hardcore character you can go back to your main and get the ring since it carry over permanently :)
@@The_Real_Dylan_711 I will try. Thanks for the tip.
Calls it a tank build, proceeds to dodge most attacks
If you have to dodge, then that's not tanking
