For players seeking a greater challenge and increased rewards, activating Idols at The Shrine is essential. Combining specific Idols can create unique and demanding builds. Here are some examples:

- Glass Cannon (Pewter, Pyth, Censor): Increases enemy damage and health, but also your damage. Focuses on high-risk, high-reward combat. Requires precise dodging and powerful burst damage.
- Swarm Master (Hense, Lema, Roathus): Increases enemy numbers and speed. Excellent for testing your crowd control abilities and area-of-effect weapons/skills.
- Survivalist (Jevel, Mic, Yudz): Enemies drop less health and deal more damage over time. Emphasizes sustain, defensive play, and efficient use of health tonics.
Always consider your current weapon and Secret Skill loadout when activating Idols. Some builds will naturally perform better against certain Idol combinations. Don't be afraid to experiment, but be prepared for a significantly tougher experience!
