Hello! This is a guide to get you through the Cosmic Trial with Scarlet Witch. Note: This is NOT the best Scarlet Witch. It is NOT end game Scarlet Witch. You will not find the BiS items in this build (caveat some come close to bis due to the meh nature of her slot 3 and 5).

 

Set Up

I capped myself at 150 Infinity Points for these trial guides. It won't take too long to build up that many. By the time you've leveled up a few characters for synergies and farmed some Heroic (Red) Challenges and terminals for some gear you may even be past 150 IP when you try the trial. Worst thing that can happen when you try the trial is you fail there is no punishment. So give it a shot and see if you're missing damage, survivability or both.

This guide is based off https://itembase.mhbugle.com/build/1328/ by cerneris which is excellent and I can highly recommend after you finish cosmic trial

Synergies

the favorites of sw: crit and mental damage paired with energy and int, wolverine and squirrel girl fill the rest

Infinities

I put 38 ranks into Mind over matter in the Mind Gem tree.

 

GEAR

- This is the highest damage option at i70 (we want all the chaos energy we can get).

 and  , is a decent alternative if you dont have access to gem or HOD. 

 is good for scarlet since again more chaos energy = more burst and because we are draining our chaos energy constantly. 

Slot 1: , her other option in this slot is really not all that great but can be used if you dont get the gloves of infinite entropy

Slot 2: is the goto here no other real options

Slot 3: A cosmic Slot3 with Critical hit + 1%Dmg per 50 spirit + Critical Damage + % to gain 800 dmg, 10% attack/move speed  

Slot 4: are simply the best here

Slot 5: a cosmic slot 5 with attack speed if possible + % to gain 800 dmg, 10% attack/move speed or alternatively if you get unlucky her own unique 

 

For rings there are multiple alternatives, the easiest to get would be , or are valid alternatives however with the graduation ring being the best option of the three.

 

For the medkit you want the shield on med kit use. Other than that prioritize + to spirit on medkit.

Inisgnia:

Team Up

Jessica Jones the grouping is just too good.

For biometrics enhancer : aim for dmg to ranged powers (that affix is not in the item database here)

rest of the team up gear has the affixes you want to look for, they arent mandatory but do help you alot

 

Playstyle

  we start with unmake Reality to fill up the Chaos meter (also a great aoe clear that will oneshot non boss mobs)

  beasts of beyond for the 20% extra chaos damage

  Chaos Rift for another 10% extra damage and a lovely aoe (note this also oneshots non boss mobs when empowered by chaos energy

Ravenous Binding our slow for extra damage from the loki synergy (+5% damage to slowed enemies)

after this hold down and tap  about every 1.5 to 2seconds to trigger the extra effect of the previous cast hexes

 

after 8s we repeat this cycle if  is off cooldown but both beasts and ravenous are on cooldown you can wait just a little bit in using unmake reality to have beasts and ravenous chaos boosted.

If you are nearing max chaos and  is off cooldown wait to use  and use other abilities to gain enough chaos and use the smaller pool of primary chaos for attacking then right after use  to have a second pool of chaos to use.

 

 

Hopefully this helps you clear the Cosmic Trial so that you can start farming your best gear and move on to bigger and better content and bigger and better guides! Have fun out there.

Thanks!
