Torchlight Infinite Commander Build Isomorphic Arms: Spider Tank Style

Introduction to Early-stage Summon

  Commander Moto is a special hero in Torchlight: Infinite who has very few play styles. Basically, there are only two mainstream options.

  They are usually differentiated by the weapon used.

 Skill level style: Craft gear to increase your Spell Skill level and Summon Skill level.

Isomorphic Arms style: Select a suitable two-handed weapon such as Abyssal Eye, Traveler’s Reckoning, etc., or a powerful one-handed weapon such as Final Behest and use God of Machines’ Lv.20 talent Isomorphic Arms to apply the main-hand weapon’s (right-hand weapon) attributes to minions.

 of course, no matter which style you choose, you should always use two Interlocking Souls at first.

There are many weapons that can be used as isomorphic weapons, and the selection criteria are whether the weapons have affixes that provide a big damage boost or additional damage, and whether they have special affixes that are compatible with the traits of minions. Even Martyr’s Dagger would do just fine.

The writer used Traveler’s Reckoning as isomorphic weapon.

  However, it should be noted that Traveler’s Reckoning only has a high mark effect when facing Elite (Rare or Legendary) enemies.

Skills

  Whether you use Summon Spider Tank or Summon Machine Guard, the mainstream conventional support skills used in the early game will basically be the same: Maniacal Army, Mechanical Modification, Multistrike, Critical Strike Damage Increase, or Bloodthirsty Slaughter (of course, in some cases, to pursue higher damage with Summon Machine Guard, Multistrike and Critical Strike Damage Increase can be replaced with Steamroll and Precise Attack).

You should only replace Maniacal Army with another support skill after the total level of Summon skills is greater than 26 or if a gear is used to increase the maximum number of Synthetic Troops that can be summoned, so that you can still summon 6 Synthetic Troops after the number of summons is halved by Mechanical Modification.

  As traits support gameplay with low-life Minions, Bloodthirsty Slaughter is an essential basic support skill. However, bear in mind that Bloodthirsty Slaughter increases Physical damage by 5% of missing life and only has a 40% effect on minion skills.

  Therefore, it is still necessary to increase minions’ life.

  For this reason, the writer chose Summon Spider Tank because 100% of the summoner’s attack speed bonus is applied to the minions, which is also why Summon Thunder Spirit is also a good skill for a passive skill slot.

When using Summon Spider Tank, the Passive Aura used in the early game will basically be Precise Projectiles and Weapon Amplification.

  When using Summon Machine Guard, the Passive Aura used in the early game will basically be Fearless and Weapon Amplification.

  However, if you use Interlocking Soul as your weapon in the early game, you will need to use the Rejuvenation passive. Also, since Summon skills will be used quite frequently, you will need to use Magical Source as your mana regeneration will not be sufficient.

Gear Affixes

  First choice: Minion Damage, Minion Life, Resistance

  Second choice: Energy Shield

  Core Gear

  If you use Traveler’s Reckoning, it has an affix that marks Elite enemies and enhances mark effects.

  The real core gear is the ring, Decayed Mind, as its Corrosion grants the Converts 100% of minions’ Physical Damage to Erosion Damage affix, or you can buy two that each has the Converts 50% of minions’ Physical Damage to Erosion Damage affix.

  Skill

Passivation is the source of damage for this build. In the early game, you can’t use Warlock’s Off The Beaten Track yet, so you may not have enough mana to use Superpower. In that case, you can use Elemental Duo.

The Mobility skill Leap Attack is recommended in the early game. The writer couldn’t use it because of the weapon selection, so he used Blurry Steps instead.

Talent Allocation

God of Machines

Machinist

  As 100% of minions’ Attack can be converted into Erosion damage, Burning Aggression can be replaced with Kinetic Conversion.

Warlock

  Trait Selection

  Other reasons for using Summon Thunder Spirit are that the cooldown time of Overload is affected by cooldown recovery speed and that Merciless can apply 15% of the increase or decrease of attack speed and cast speed to cooldown recovery speed.

  Supplementation: Increasing damage

  It is recommended to carry a War Horn that has +2 Maximum Synthetic Troop Minion Quantity. Although War Horn has the Cannot own Spirit Magus Minions affix, it can be used with Spirit Magus Minions’ Superpower for Spirit Magus effects.

  With War Horn, which provides high cooldown recovery speed,  you can choose the Infinity with Isomorphic Arms or Mighty Guard’s Unlimited. (recommend Mighty Guard as it can also be used when you switch styles)
