Transcendence Shield
HardTankLunarRiskyTranscendence converts all but 1 health into a regenerating shield and sets health regeneration to 0, which ends Heretic's drain. Hold all four Heresy items, then add Kjaro's and Runald's Bands so Ruin detonations and Maelstrom blasts trigger them.

Why the core items
TranscendenceTurns health into shield and removes the drain.
Kjaro's BandRuin detonations (300% plus 120% per stack) and Maelstrom's 700% explosion both clear the 400% bar.
Runald's BandSame trigger as Kjaro's, with a slow on top.
How to play it
- Fall damage is based on max health, and Transcendence cuts it to almost nothing.
- Wax Quail and Hopoo Feathers work well with Heretic's triple jump and give you more air control.
- Shadowfade is still your panic button here, just no longer your clock.
