Best Ritualist Build in Remnant 2

To create the best Ritualist build in Remnant 2, there are a few aspects that you need to follow. From the best weapons to the best accessories, this guide will help you form the best Ritualist build.

Best Ritualist Second Archetype

• Archon

The Archon Archetype is the best secondary choice to complement the Ritualist’s DoT-focused playstyle. The Archon’s perks enhance mod damage and reliability, ensuring a steady stream of elemental effects to synergize with the Ritualist’s DoT abilities.

Best Ritualist Weapons

• Sparkfire Shotgun with Twisting Wounds Mutator and Witchfire Mod
• Any Handgun with Fetid Wounds Mutator
• Any Melee Weapon

The Sparkfire Shotgun is a devastating primary weapon for the Ritualist. It deals high base damage and, when combined with the Twisting Wounds Mutator, applies both Burning and Bleeding status effects to enemies. This synergizes perfectly with the Ritualist’s Vile Prime perk, which adds the Infected status effect on enemies hit, stacking three different DoTs.

The Witchfire Mod causes the shotgun to release a line of flame that inflicts Burning on enemies caught in its path, further increasing DoT uptime.

Any Handgun like a revolver or magnum serves well as a secondary weapon. The key is using the Fetid Wounds Mutator, which poisons enemies hit, applying the Corroded status. This increases all DoT damage taken, amplifying the effects of Burning, Bleeding, and Infected from your primary shotgun.

Best Ritualist Skills

• Primary Skill: Eruption
• Secondary Skill: Chaos Gate

Eruption is the Ritualist’s signature skill – a massive explosive burst that deals bonus damage to enemies suffering from Burning, Bleeding and Infected status effects. With all three applied by your Sparkfire Shotgun, Eruption becomes a screen-clearing nuke against groups.

While not directly DoT focused, Chaos Gate provides great utility and crowd control. It creates a rift that sucks in and damages nearby enemies while giving you a mobile escape option.

Best Ritualist Gear

• Any Light or Medium armor set
• Energized Neck Coil
• Lighthouse Keeper’s Ring
• Stone of Malevolence
• Spirit Stone
• Burden of the Follower

Energized Neck Coil amulet increases your mod power generation, allowing you to use skills like Eruption and Witchfire more frequently.

This ring setup maximizes both your DoT damage output and the burst from Eruption when combined with stacked status effects. Maintaining high mod power is also critical.

The armor choice is flexible – light or medium works well to retain mobility and mod power while providing some defense. Any relic can be used based on preference for its utility effect.

Best Ritualist Traits

• Spirit: Increases mod power generation.
• Expertise: Boosts skill damage and effectiveness.
• Handling: Improves weapon handling and reload speed.
• Siphoner: Restores mod power on enemy kills.

There you go! The best Ritualist build in Remnant 2! By following this guide, you can craft the ultimate Ritualist with unending deadly DoT skills up your sleeve.
