True hybrid build
A build made to get the most out of the game’s mechanics: strong with swords, strong with Signs, and constant potion and decoction use. The core synergy is high Toxicity feeding Euphoria. Every Sign you cast boosts your sword damage through Resonance. Set up the brutal Yrden + Aard combo or just Whirl through everyone. Built around gameplay options, not a single trick.
