Recommended aspects

Stat priority

  1. Strength

    Physical archetype — full STR

  2. Vitality

    Dreadlord's stat block already leans VIT; add only if you want a bigger buffer

Gear priority

  1. Movement and attack-speed affixes to shorten clear times
  2. Skill Damage for clone and vortex hits
  3. Luck-ringed gear if you own the Increased Luck gamepass — it affects chest drops and equipment rarity

How to play

  • Open with Crimson Rush — it is fully invulnerable, so use it to face-tank packs
  • Clone summons clear side rooms while you take the main path
  • Extract every run: loot you carry is only permanent after extraction

Progression

  1. Clear Frostspire Bastion on Nightmare to unlock Underworld Gate
  2. Farm the Underworld Gate final boss for the 1% Underworld Glaive — use the Drop Rate Calculator to set expectations first
  3. Gear toward attack speed and skill damage for faster clears

Alternatives

Witch Gunner

Ranged Legendary with tracking shots — a cheaper farming platform if the glaive won't drop.

Good for

  • Recommended by Destructoid specifically for farming harder content
  • Highest documented base HP (500) with +20 STR/+20 VIT
  • Fast, safe clears translate directly into more drops per hour
  • Built around Dreadlord, rated 7.5/10 for farming content.

Weaknesses

  • Its own unlock (Underworld Glaive) is a 1% drop with no pity
  • Overkill for low-level farming
