✘ War Machine

✘ Sudden Death

✔ Fresh Meat

Fresh Meat will allow you to reliably begin every combat with Enrage, making gameplay much smoother.

✔ Double Time

✘ Impending Victory

✔ Storm Bolt

Double Time is usually the go-to talent, although Storm Bolt can be a useful choice for stunning dangerous targets when survivability is a problem.

✔ Massacre

✘ Frenzy

✘ Onslaught

Massacre is the best choice, if only for the reduced cooldown on Execute. Voracious Culling Blade will eventually make Execute usable at any health percent, making the reduced cooldown that much more important.

? Furious Charge

✔ Bounding Stride

✔ Warpaint

Bounding Stride helps get through the activity, although Warpaint is the better defensive option when needed.

✘ Seethe

✔ Frothing Berserker

? Cruelty

Frothing Berserker will help with Rage management, although it can be replaced once enough Rage generation is obtained from Anima Powers.

✘ Meat Cleaver

✔ Dragon Roar

✔ Bladestorm

Dragon Roar is better for low target counts, while Bladestorm takes precedence when regularly making pulls of 4+ targets.

✔ Anger Management

✘ Reckless Abandon

✘ Siegebreaker

While Anger Management allows Recklessness to be available more often for bursting down multitarget pulls.

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.

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.

Fury 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 Enraged Regeneration, 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.
