Important Talents for Torghast as an Arms Warrior
Torghast amounts to a lot of quick multitarget combat, similar to that seen in open world and dungeon content. Because of this, similar talents work there as well.
Warbreaker,
Bladestorm,
Blood and Thunder, and
Bladestorm are the most important picks for mowing down groups of enemies quickly, while other talents have more leeway. Remember that you can change talents on rest floors, allowing you to swap depending on the capabilities of various powers unlocked throughout the run.
Best Arms Warrior Anima Powers
Throughout your climb through Torghast, you will be offered up a variety of Anima Powers as you progress. Some of these are unique, while others can stack and making the right choice first time can be difficult. Because of that we have made a Tier List below that helps make quick decisions if you are struggling.
Remember though, do not follow the list blindly, there is a lot of different playstyles to explore within Torghast and trying things out is part of the enjoyment. None of the powers are necessary to complete a run, and picking a power that improves something you rarely use will ultimately be useless. After all, you might not run into the power that you are looking for each run!

If an Anima Power is not in the Tier List above, it is either because we have been unable to test due to being unavailable as a pick, or information about its tuning is not complete. It will be added to the list as we find out more.
Phantasma Anima Powers for Arms Warrior
Occasionally you will be offered the ability to get Phantasma instead of an Anima Power, or increases to your Phantasma generation. Judging these is more difficult because it depends on how much of each floor you are clearing. Grabbing these early on is usually a good idea so you can make use of vendors, while the later the run goes the less valuable these are.
Arms Warrior Playstyle for Torghast, Tower of the Damned
Arms Warriors have a very strong toolkit for dealing with the mixed pulls in Torghast, backed by several powerful anima powers which create interesting gameplay builds. The only real weakpoint is a lack of in-combat self healing, but that is easily be compensated for by numerous defensive abilities and anima powers which enhance them. Some tips for gameplay are:
Scratched Knife is the best power, which will almost always take out the strongest enemy or boss on the floor in one hit and grant an extra anima power, leading to many more powers over the course of a run than otherwise.
- Combining
Brawler's Brass Knuckles and
Voracious Culling Blade will result in a one-button rotation capable of decimating everything in your path.
- Stacking
Hurricane Heart and
Bloodstained Whetstone can create a very strong self healing build.
- Gaining enough
Unbound Fortitude and
Warlord's Resolve will result in a 100% uptime on
Die by the Sword, making you nearly immortal.
- Do not be afraid to kite if you feel you are in danger, using
Piercing Howl and
Intimidating Shout.
- Do not rush into big pulls if you have no cooldowns and are not stable. Torghast has no timer, and enemies can become very dangerous at higher floor levels so know your limits.
