Rime | Fellowship Wiki

Rime is a DPS class hero in Fellowship.

"Rime is a ranged caster that draws from the Anima within her soul and the elements around her to damage her opponents. She utilizes these powers in two forms: Anima and Winter Orbs.

Many of Rime's basic abilities channel a form of Anima which fills up her Anima Bar. When this bar is filled the Anima coalesces into Winter Orbs. As a result of this coalescing, the remaining Anima is sent as Anima Spikes at nearby engaged enemies.

Winter Orbs are represented by the orbs on Rime's interface above the Anima Bar; these Orbs are spent to empower Rime's more powerful elemental abilities."

Biography

Hailing from the far and frozen north of Endring, Rime's upbringing instilled a healthy respect for the elemental forces around her. Her people spend their lives among the snow and ice and seek warmth and comfort in their traditions and the blessings of their tribal spirits.

Blessed or maybe cursed by the spirits of the land, Rime was given the ability to manipulate the flows of Anima around her. A skill that her tribe thought was lost to their past. She uses this ability to manipulate the water and ice around her, teaching her enemies to respect the elemental forces.

Rime Weapon Options

Rime Best Legendary Item

Skandi's Sabatons of Endless Winter

Rime BiS Weapons

The Void-Touched Conduit is Rime’s best Weapon for dealing with powerful single-target threats. The Voidbringer’s Touch debuff replicates a fifth of Rime’s damage and applies it to the target once the effect expires, or enough damage has been accumulated. This is essentially an occasional free damage burst that can add up to quite a bit of extra DPS over the course of prolonged fights. Needless to say, this effect is especially powerful during Boss fights.

Asha’s Chronoshift Spire is a good alternative for Rime thanks to its unique ability that deals hefty damage to all enemies around you while channeling. The radius is significant, allowing Rime to put the hurt on enemies from a relatively safe distance. As an added bonus, Chronoshift acts as a protective barrier that reduces all incoming damage by 50% while also providing massive Cooldown Recovery for 6 seconds.

We recommend using the Void-Touched Conduit for dealing with Bosses or other powerful single-target threats. If you feel like you don’t need extra help dealing with single entities, but could use a boost to your AoE damage, Asha’s Chronoshift Spire is the perfect choice for you.

Best Weapon Traits

The best Weapon Traits for Rime will will vary slightly depending on your specific playstyle. Having said that, some of the available Traits are so good that you'll often want to stick with them regardless of how you approach Combat. Below, we've split the Weapon Traits into three categories based on how much value they offer to Rime players.

Must-Have Traits

• Heroic Brand – A huge damage buff to your Weapon Ability, ideal weapon trait for Void-Touched Conduit
• Visions of Grandeur – All-around fantastic choice that enables you to use Wrath of Winter more often
• Inspired Allegiance - Enables you to use your Weapon Ability more often while also providing a Haste buff for you and your allies
• Hidden Power – Increases your main stat by up to 12% for 15 seconds
• Navigator’s Intuition – Grants a significant temporary buff to your Haste or Critical Strike rating, depending on whichever one is higher
• Sapphire Aurastone – Works somewhat similar to Void-Touched Conduit, but deals AoE damage instead

• Amethyst Splinters
• Latent Resurgence
• Patient Soul
• Emerald Judgement

Gem Priority

Gems in Fellowship offer various bonuses depending on their type. While it may be tempting to socket as many Gem types as possible into your Equipment in exchange for a wide variety of bonuses, it's generally a lot more efficient to specialize and focus on just a few types.

Rime benefits the most from Gems that increase her Haste (Topaz) and Critical Strike (Amethyst). You should also try to increase your main stat (Ruby) and secondary stats (Diamond) whenever possible. Generally speaking, Rime’s Gem priority should largely be as follows:

Topaz -> Amethyst -> Ruby -> Diamond -> Emerald -> Sapphire

Rime Stat Priority

Rime's Stat priority is as follows:

1. Intellect
2. Haste
3. Critical Strike = Expertise
4. Spirit

Main stat is king in Fellowship, so you will want to focus on item level which in turn gives main stat on all pieces of gear minus neck and ring slots. Haste will decrease your global cooldown, ability cooldowns, and cast time. Haste will also make your Freezing/Soulfrost Torrent channel tick damage more times, leading to an increase in both single target and AOE damage. Crit and expertise are almost equal with crit having a slight edge, you'll want both stats regardless. Spirit gives you a chance to refund winter orbs when spent, this can improve DPS significantly in certain scencarios but is still outmatched by the other stats.
