S13 Ranged Demon Slayer, up to 4.3 Billion DPS (patch 5.4.1.0)

A build guide for a ranged Demonslayer which can do up to 4.3 Billion DPS.

Introduction

This guide is designed and looking to do the absolute most DPS possible with the ranged Demon Slayer, so if you have any suggestions to boost its power, you can feel free to write them to me. Discord tag is down below at the end.

This is my fourth guide for Hero Siege, I've written 2 more in season 11, 2 others recently.

About me:
I'm currently not even max Level yet and haven't really cleared much but I ended season 11 on a high rank with wormhole level 567 with a ranged Demon Slayer build. I have fun with theory crafting and min-maxing builds.

Pros:
-Can clear high tier wormholes and has no problems with harder content in general.
-Amazing at farming because of movement speed and very strong aoe clear.
-Deals insane ST Target damage.
-Fully build it also has very good damage of time.
-Has very consistent damage and isn't reliant on rng that much.
-Doesn't lag out the game that much like my other 2 builds.
-Has no entry barrier to start building it.
-Ranged.
-Easy to play apart from needing to dodge most stuff.

Cons:
-Not tanky at all.
-Needs to stand close to the target for maximum DPS.
-The absolute BIS Items are angelics.

In the local editor I could reach up to about 4.3 billion DPS (Would deal a bit more if "Execute" could proc on the dummy) with this build while having all the BIS relics, every item at 115% quality, hero level 100, angelic abilitiy (Angelic Key) on merc + my weapon, Belt of Skulls Buffs and all BIS items.

Items

Best in Slots:

Head: Lightforge (Runeword) (Very expensive)
Armor: Slayer's Jacket (6 Sockets max)
Boots: Slayer's Boots (4 Sockets max)
Weapon: Deathquill (The Black Plague 30 max) (Feint 30 max) (6 Sockets max) (very expensive) + Mortal Reminder Angelic Ability
Gloves: Slayer's Mitts (4 Sockets max)

Ring: St. Devlin's Eternal Grace (2 Socket max) (angelic)
Belt: Belt of Skulls (3 Sockets max) (very expensive)
Potion: Caffeinated Coffee Container (2 Sockets max) (angelic)

Alternative items you can use instead of the super expensive best in slots are:
Disclaimer: Not all of them are cheap, there are also some that are just really good alternatives that come really close to the Best in Slots.

Head: Judge, Jury & Executioner (4 Sockets max), Harlequin Crest (Physical) (4 Sockets max), Pit Commander's Helmet (4 Sockets max), Mask of the Beyond (4 Sockets max)

Amulet: Raven's Claw (Physical) (4 Sockets max), High Demon's Necklace (4 Sockets max), Rift Warrior's Skull (4 Sockets max), Devil's Inner Rage (5 Sockets max), Unfathomable Puzzle (5 Sockets max)

Armor: Dark Shroud (6 Sockets max), Cocoon of the Berserker (0 Sockets)

Boots: Assassin's Boots (4 Sockets max), Tribal Boots (4 Sockets max), Voodoo Stompers (4 Sockets max)

Gloves: Wanderer's Gloves (4 Sockets max), Assassin's Mitts (4 Sockets max), Throat Cutters (Physical) (4 Sockets max), Dark Knights Gauntlets (4 Sockets max)

Belt: Commander's Sash (3 Sockets max), Tribal Belt (3 Sockets max), Warrior Belt (3 Sockets max), Monkeyskin Belt (3 Sockets max), Rugal's Sash of Undertaking (3 Sockets max)

Potion: Protein Shake (2 Sockets max), Power of the Void (2 Sockets max) (second BIS)

Weapon: Sleight (Concentration 30 max) (runeword), RT XQC-4910 (Physical) (6 Sockets max), Windforce (6 Sockets), Vampire Hunter (6 Sockets max)

Technically Val runes (2.5% Elemental Damage) are the best to fill in every socket for max dps but as they're a Boss rune just use Jah runes (2.5% Physical Damage)

Abilities

Abilities to max are: Bullet Hell, Demon's Presence, Eagle Eye and Focused Mind. Put the rest into Execute. 1 Point in almost everything else like I did.


These are the Hero Talents that gave me the most DPS while testing them out:

Level 10: Warrior's Blessing
Level 20 Knight's Vow (Doesn't really matter which one you pick for DPS)
Level 30: God's Wrath
Level 40: Shockwave
Level 50: Master Poisoner
Level 60: Assassin's Focus
Level 70: Vagabond's Might
Level 80: Resistancy (Doesn't really matter which one you pick for DPS)
Level 90: Burst Shot
Level 100: Warlord's Might


Abillity Rotation: Bullet Hell on CD -> Shredder Trap on CD -> Absolute Mayhem on CD -> Trigger Finger on CD -> Don't forget to also use auto attacks for procs and extra damage. For maximum DPS go very close to the enemy with Bullet Hell so it gets hit by multiple rows.

Relics

These are all the relics I would personally use with running this build. If you disagree, feel free to pick some others since the boost of some of these are very small.

Here's a list of the relics:

Nunchucks, Skull Axe, The Spoon, Magic Mushroom, Jefre's Subscription, Spirit Skull, Ogre Club, Dirge, Hellscream Axe, Frostmourne, Commander's Sword, Butcher's Knife, Death's Scythe, Rusted Cube, Silver Cube, Golden Cube, Rusted Sword, Silver Sword, Golden Sword, Triforce, Damien's Amulet, Tequila!!!, The Mighty Sushi, Bonsai Tree, Daplayer's Dislocated Head, Lightning Ball, Satan's Eye, Homing Shots, The Holy Grail, Golden Fleece.

Mercenary

Using a mercenary is just a bonus for this build, you don't need it to make the build work and you are free to use another mercenary build if you'd like to. But it can boost your DPS by quite a bit when its fully geared.

Tip: I don't know about the ranged Mercenary but the melee one can proc Overwhelming Power if you have it activated (Its not as strong as yours though)

This is the mercenary build I would use to clear content like wormholes with but you could also use a ranged Mercenary, with the Sleight Bow. That way you would get a bit more DMG but it will die instantly on higher content unlike the melee Mercenary.


Head: Golden Crusader (4 Sockets max)
Weapon: Riftmaster's Dirge (Fanaticism Aura 30 max) (6 Sockets max) + Mark Target Angelic Ability (very expensive)
Armor: Shroud of Elements (Runeword) (Expensive)
Shield: King's Tower Shield (Mending 30 max) (6 Sockets max) (expensive)

I used Efoel runes in every socket for more survivability but you could also use Dau runes for attack speed.

The roll on Fanaticism Aura is important since it increases your attack speed and the Mark Target Angelic Ability is also very strong because it increases damage taken by the target. The Elemental Break on Shroud of Elements will reduce the target's resistance to all damage which gives you a nice DPS boost. I choose to use tank items for the Head and Shield since there aren't very big DPS increases for those slots and your Mercenary doesn't apply debuffs if he's dead. He also boosts your own survivability this way.


I chose to max Armor Boost, HP Boost, Shielding and Symbiosis so he and I are more tanky, the rest of the points into Swiftness for the attack speed. You can also put 1 point into everything else like I did.

Wormhole Preview

Here's a 13 minute video from me clearing wormhole level 4500 with this build.

HSeditor Build Import

I've exported this build and uploaded it to the HSeditor Discord incase you want to try it out for yourself in the local editor.

Here's a link to the Discord and their website.

You need the HSeditor and put the template from the #build-templates channel into "%localappdata%/Hero_siege/hseditor/builds", then you can import it via HSeditor's import function.
