Role Attack Damage, Mobile Command Center

Playstyle This build is all about finding a suitable target and then deleting them from the map. Once Go Kong has gained Monkey Multiplier getting to your enemies will be no problem. Fervor boots and a Frost Prism will make sure they don't get away. Meanwhile, your clones will be doing work all on their own since they propagate modifiers from the Thundercaller, Frost Prism, Woundsplitter and Inferno Brand.

Topps

Topps is a natural choice for the tanky Go Kong. Tremble will help keep the enemies within Inferno Brand and melee range while Immolate and the Unleashed passive will help to keep your damage at an acceptable range.

Gokong Lore

Gokong was born white-haired on a night without a moon. In the Krymaton of Lyrie, this is an omen for greatness. From very early on, he was always one step ahead of his peers in all contests of wit and agility. Following a deadly border dispute with the Rafinks, Gokong challenged the Alpha - whose foolishness had led them into an ambush - for primacy. In the ensuing battle, Gokong slew his opponent using an unknown technique and assumed role as Alpha of the Krymates.
