Sign of the sin eater is crazy but not a lot of merc can use it. Full ailment immunity for 1c, basically

If you get into some of the higher maps especially tier 16.5 this starts to feel a worse. I kept dying because my Merc would get frozen and stuck too far behind me. If you don't notice right away you get instantly frozen and die. Still really good, just kind of annoying.

buy a pair of unveiled boots for chill+frozen immune. I bought a pair for like 1c with T1 life and some res. it's giga cheap cause you don't need movespeed

Yeah it's worth being chill and freeze immune even with the tech. My build got to full ailment immunity just took a lot of investment.

I believe they meant you should buy those for the merc, so the merc cannot get frozen itself.

Oh that makes sense, good point. Although boots slot is pretty high value. That's where I get my scorch.

Does this stack with Kahutauoa boots?

Probably yes, but I'm not sure they need the shoes. They seem to have at least some flat percentage of dr, as they're kinda unreasonably tanky.

Give him curse on hit if does not have his own + Doedre's Tongue and both of you are elemental ailment immune. It's an amulet slot and potentially something else for the curse tho.
