Argent Skull · Aspect of Persephone

Hephaestus Bloom

TierBMedium

Hephaestus blasts fill the aspect gauge fast; then hunt for blast duos.

The path

Hephaestus keepsake and Volcanic Strike on attack.
A few bonus levels and a rarity bump get close to the fastest recharge.
Hera on special (Sworn Flourish) is probably best-in-slot there.
Blast duos (Chain Reaction) or Zeus for Static Shock and Master Conductor.
