Overview

Low-Intensity Tempest is an Open World LI Build focused on applying Burning Burning and Bleeding Bleeding to enemies while maintaining high defense and utilizing pet summons.


What Is LI?

LI stands for "Low-Intensity". LI builds are a class of builds that work to slow the game down drastically by using passive defense and builds that require very low input to function. These builds are designed primarily for players that have disabilities that may prevent them from playing higher intensity builds, though they are here for any player who wishes to play them.
