Defense

Invest in a Jade Core for additional HP and access to Jade Protocols.

Budget

This build relies heavily on expertise and is not budget friendly.
Sigil of Superior Sigil of Corruption - budget replacement for Sigil of Bursting; this sigil requires stacking, and it must be included on all of your underwater weapons to prevent losing stacks when entering the water.

Consumables

Budget consumables are acceptable for use in open world.
