Looking for a solid 5-Hit build with Upukirex. My main issue is, most of the build I have seen utilize ares+1 and I currently don't have any of that available. Any recommendations? thanks.

Can try something like this(I'm 20k plasm away from my Upu!)

ItemSet 309111

This set gives 20tp/hit and 25% haste, the +1% Haste from Ionis will put you at 26%.

Can modify it slightly:
-Dupulus Grip+Mikinaak Hands instead of Rose Strap+AF3 hands
-Could use AF3 body and switch to Zoran's Belt


tbh you'd want a bit more STP actually, so probably would want to TP in Hagneia Stone too which puts you slightly above 20tp/hit which helps if you only get a 3 hit stardiver(bound to happen) and you lose a bit of attack but with current buffs and Upu's monstrous +25 attack, shouldn't hurt much.

As far as I can tell on the ss, this looks to be the best setup atm? I am relativly new to using spreadsheets so i could have made a mistake.

ItemSet 309247

Mikinaak will beat Ares after the next patch I believe, and since Upu is getting ~+230 accuracy next patch, can drop Letalis for Atheling and use A-Path Mik Greaves

To the best of my knowledge if you are in a situation where accuracy doesn't matter and you can reliably use an x-hit. You can 5-hit with this.

ItemSet 308880

Edit: Just realized you said no Ares+1. You could use the above with Karieyh hands + Phorcys legs just as easily.

Why Ninurta when you can Zoran's Belt?

Use Mikinaak Hands(After patch will have like 20 DEX and other stuff). If you dont have Ares at all and must use phorcys legs, wouldn't switchin duplus to rose strap allow you to use Enif Corazza? 2QA>4 DA? And the extra haste from switching to Enif+Zoran's Belt would allow for AF3 hands' 4% DA?

Body:Enif
Hands:AF3+2
Sub:Rose
Leg:Phorcys
waist:Zoran's

Should be the same haste/stp but gain 2%QA and 4% DA from enif/af3 hands?
