Emblems & Flask Selections
The Best Flasks
Death-Defying Vial (Best for Pure Bossing & High Ubers): This flask is mandatory for end-game boss fights, Delves, and high Uber worlds where you run a pure glass-cannon build. It triggers automatically right before you take fatal damage. Because the Gunslinger has no natural defense and relies on staying airborne to hover away from ground damage, this flask acts as your ultimate safety net against sudden lag spikes or heavy projectiles.
The Best Emblems
The combo of the Arcane Emblem and Zealous Emblem turns your Fae Trickster into a highly efficient boss-burster and dynamic map-crosser. Both emblems activate simultaneously the exact millisecond you drink from your Flask.
- Arcane Emblem: Since your passive ability (
Ego Blast) already boosts your basic attack damage by 650% when unhurt, stacking the Arcane Emblem on top results in an astronomical damage multiplier. It allows you to defeat Uber-difficulty dungeon bosses in just 1 to 2 basic attack hits. - Zealous Emblem: Fae Trickster relies heavily on the
Blink ability. Blink leaves a clone decoy behind, triggers a brief stealth phase, and teleports you forward. However, spamming Blink drains your Energy quickly.
Recommended Ally
Orchian (Best Overall End-Game): This Paragon-tier ally is the absolute gold standard for Magic Damage classes. It provides a massive +400 Light and a 25% Magic Damage multiplier. Additionally, it grants a temporary Movement Speed burst whenever a nearby enemy dies. For the Gunslinger, this provides the armor-shredding power needed to melt high Uber world bosses instantly while giving you a post-kill speed injection to transition between dungeons.
Gems
Recommended Gem Stats
Your Lesser Gems and Empowered Gems must be rolled entirely for offensive stats to ensure you hit the absolute highest damage threshold possible. You should completely ignore defensive stats like Maximum Health, Health Regeneration, or Max Health % on your damage gems. because the Fae Trickster relies entirely on the Ego Blast passive, which grants a massive 650% basic attack damage multiplier as long as you avoid taking damage. building health is a wasted investment. Instead, every single gem slot should feature Magic Damage, Critical Damage, and Critical Hit.
Your initial goal when leveling up and augmenting your gems is to reach exactly 100% Critical Hit chance across your entire build. Going anywhere over 100% provides no benefit, so once your character sheet shows you have reached that cap, you must use a Gem Forge to reroll any excess Critical Hit stats into Magic Damage or Critical Damage. For your standard Fire, Water, and Air gems, you want your stat augmentations to be split evenly between Magic Damage and Critical Damage. This ensures that when your Arcane Emblem multiplies your base magic damage, your critical strikes will deal devastating, exponential numbers to bosses.
Fae-go my Ego (Class Gem)
The Fae-go my Ego Class Gem completely fixes the Fae Trickster’s biggest weakness by giving your passive ability, Ego Blast, a highly forgiving safety net. Normally, if an enemy scrapes you for even 1 point of damage, your passive’s massive 650% damage multiplier vanishes instantly. With this Class Gem equipped, you are allowed to take one additional hit of damage before losing your damage bonus entirely.
This forgiveness window operates on a 4-second cooldown. As long as you avoid taking damage for 4 continuous seconds, the gem’s shield refreshes, allowing you to absorb another mistake. This mechanical safety net prevents random projectiles, dungeon hazard traps, or stray AoE explosions from instantly ruining your speed-farming momentum and tanking your DPS.
Recommended Empowered Gem
Your Empowered Gems must focus on two goals: maximum movement speed and damage negation (to protect your Ego Blast passive).
- Pyrodisc (Mandatory for Speed Farming): Defeating an enemy triggers a flaming aura that damages nearby mobs and provides a massive, temporary Movement Speed burst, allowing you to glide swiftly from one dungeon to the next.
- Berserk Battler (Cosmic Gem): Landing a critical strike gives a chance to trigger a life-leech effect and a temporary Movement Speed bonus.
- Cubic Curtain: Spawns a shield that completely negates the damage of the next incoming attack and stuns the attacker.
Final Thoughts
In final analysis, perfecting your speed-farming Fae Trickster build requires embracing a high-risk, high-reward playstyle where movement speed and positioning are everything. While maximizing stats like Magic Damage, Critical Damage, and Light on your gear and gems provides the raw power to shred bosses, it is your choice of Empowered Gems and Emblems that truly dictates your farming momentum.
