I think this might be one of the best ways to abuse Transcendant Cooldown on Graves⏰ 21% Bres 33% Sres base -> 35% Bres 84% Sres max, 200 Spirit Power (98% theft) Transcendant Cooldowns: Torment: 1.4s -> 1.05s Siphon: 1.2s -> 0.9s EscalatingE: 0.7s -> 0.52s (2s faster stack 12stack) Scourge: 35s -> 26s Metal Skin: 24s -> 18s SShield: 45s -> 34s WShield: 35s -> 26s Tesla/Capac: 0.2 -> 0.15 Basically an adjusted Tank Graves, just shaped around Transcendant Cooldown as an item for maximum efficiency

Measuring Torment Pulse on Graves vs Celeste and why it isn't as bad as you think, just different⚠️ I tracked 10 of my Graves games against 10 games from the #1 Celeste OTP (Jingle). Every buy time, hold time, damage number and spirit power value, game by game. Torment Pulse can match celeste mostly in longer games. Graves buys it earlier and holds it longer, so the longer the game goes, the closer I get. In 4 of my 10 games Torment Pulse did more total damage for me than it does for Celeste on average, and three of those went past 35 minutes. It also depends on how much I’m fighting up close. In my best games I’m landing pulses 87% as often as a typical Celeste game. Then if you account for Celeste’s Radiant Daggers amp at a realistic 2–3 stacks, those games match or even beat her. Escalating Exposure helps a bit too, since it amps every pulse once I have it. I buy it late though at like 30k ish, so it only moves things from 86% to 89% overall. Celeste still wins in consistency. Her kit keeps her in pulse range far more often, while on Graves I have to force those close-range fights myself. But this is a playstyle that I enjoy playing. So overall, I’m getting 86–89% of the value the best Torment Pulse hero gets, and in my good games I’m matching her.
