Top 3 Best Rage Glyphs

1. Animosity

Animosity allows players to pull an enemy towards them, with stun duration increasing based on the glyph's rank (2-4 seconds). This is excellent for comboing with charged attacks or other charged glyphs to burst down tough enemies like Hollow Walkers or tier 2/3 enemies. It's also useful for pulling dangerous enemies like mages or lymbic souls closer for easier stunning and elimination.

2. Rage Spike

Rage Spike is a rare ranged glyph that deals lower damage than Lymbic Slivers but excels due to its explosion radius and lack of a charge requirement. It's highly effective for clearing groups of Hollow Walkers in confined spaces, such as those found in the Maintenance Tunnel, Lymbic Forge hallways, and the National Library.

3. Fury

Fury is a unique Rage glyph that targets an enemy and shares damage to other linked entities. As a charge attack, it delivers significant cleave damage to multiple enemies simultaneously. Its effectiveness is amplified when enemies are connected by multiple lymbic cords or when one cord links multiple Hollow Walkers. The elite version, when fully charged, offers incredible damage splitting capabilities.

The 2 Best Ecstasy Glyphs

1. Eager Embrace

Eager Embrace is an Ecstasy glyph that performs a short-range teleport attack, stunning the target. While it requires dashing into danger, making it less ideal against multiple enemies, the stun can be used to charge other glyphs, spam attacks for Lymbic energy, or fill the heal mechanic. It pairs well with other Ecstasy glyphs like Rapture, increasing its damage radius. A notable interaction allows players to sometimes attack and kill Lymbic cord creatures before they fully emerge, skipping tougher encounters.

2. Delirium

Delirium is a standout Ecstasy glyph for build synergy, offering a stance-breaking effect. It targets a cone of enemies, breaking their stance bar (the white bar under their health indicating stagger potential). This is useful for stunning groups of weaker enemies or reducing the stance bar of tougher foes, allowing for parries and counter-attacks. When combined with the passive relic 'Mark of the Betrayed,' which buffs subsequent attacks after a parry, Delirium can lead to massive damage output, especially against tier 2 and 3 enemies.
