Hex

Phase Shift

Your Hex makes everything else move 50% slower for 4 seconds.

SRating

Why it is rated S

S

Slowing the encounter creates room to attack, reposition, or recover without replacing the build's normal actions.

Use it when: Choose Phase Shift for a broadly safe Hex that preserves the current weapon sequence.
Limit: It adds less immediate burst than a direct-damage Hex.
If it is absent: If lost Life, rather than unsafe attack windows, ends the run, choose Moon Water for direct healing.
