Introduction
This guide brings three different playstyles to the table: a flashy,
Firebats-centric progression spec for solo GR pushes (the present
build), a progression spec for group GR pushes, and a speed farming variation
for T16 runs (both linked above). Note that this playstyle alternates between the
Arachyr and
Helltooth sets almost one for one
with very minor variations, explained in the sections ahead.
