Heartsteel stacks maximum Health in short-range trades, and Titanic Hydra converts that Health into Attack Damage and area on-hit pressure. Mantle of the Twelfth Hour adds a low-Health shield and resistances, while Black Cleaver lets Purge's rapid physical hits shred Armor quickly. Thornmail and Armored Advance add physical defense against attack-focused opponents. Empowerment rewards Purge's consecutive attacks with damage amplification, and Bone Plating plus Perseverance reduce retaliation after Disdain.
