Jupiter Tonans (Mythic armor set)

Our take on Jupiter Tonans

“The thunder of the sky”

Two of its three lines boost the Blessing (+6% Blessing crit chance, +10% Blessing damage), and +6% attack speed helps the weapon in between casts. It shines with a hard-hitting Blessing like Piercing Pilum (x2.9 weapon damage) and the Numen skill path from level 15. With a Common Blessing it is a weaker pick than Sol Invictus.

What does the Jupiter Tonans set bonus do?

+6% Blessing crit chance

Gives your Blessing (the Crystal of Fortuna ability) a chance to crit. Best with a high-damage Blessing such as Piercing Pilum (x2.9 weapon damage).

+6% Attack speed

Faster attacks, so more hits per second. It suits classes that hit often: the Archer’s held fire and the Lancer’s thrusts.

+10% Blessing damage

More damage from your Blessing. It stacks with the Numen skill path, whose first node Inner Fire adds +3% Blessing damage per rank from level 15.

+28 Vitality and +140 Max HP

On our level-1 Gladiator with 124 Max HP, the set’s +140 Max HP alone would be a 113% increase. Every set adds flat health that scales with rarity. Mythic sets give +28 Vitality / +140 Max HP, against +23 / +115 for Legendary.

How do you get the Jupiter Tonans pieces?

The full set costs 280 Forge Embers. The panel says “Embers come from Survival round 21 on”, and the Forge caps Embers at 40 a day, so even with perfect runs the set takes at least 7 days. Forge the pieces in the order that fits your build; the bonus only turns on with all four.

Mythic gear can also come from chests. These are the chests that can roll Mythic items:

A chest that rolls Mythic still picks one item from every Mythic armor and weapon, so a specific piece of Jupiter Tonans is much rarer than the Mythic chance. The Epic Chest shows the split for Mythic rolls: “Weapons 1.7% · Sets 0.83% each”.

Who should use Jupiter Tonans?

• Blessing builds (Numen path): +6% Blessing crit chance, +10% Blessing damage.
• Archer (bow): +6% Attack speed.
• Lancer (spear): +6% Attack speed.

How to build around Jupiter Tonans

Blessing builds (Numen path). Blessing builds start at the Crystal of Fortuna: two slots are free, and Lucky spins give a 12% Legendary chance. From level 15, the Numen path adds Blessing damage (Inner Fire, +3% per rank) and its capstone Will Of The Gods turns every Blessing hit into cooldown.

Archer (bow). Archers live on distance: keep both dashes ready, hold attack to keep shooting, and let every third shot’s volley hit groups. Community Archer runs past wave 50 stacked crit chance and attack speed from boons on top of their set.

Lancer (spear). The Lancer’s two thrusts and 360° sweep reward staying at the edge of a crowd. Use the dash thrust (dash + attack) to close gaps, and put early points into Gladius → Sharpened Edge for +2% damage per rank on every hit.

Fit: our reading of the bonus Based on the class cards and skill tree we saw in game, not on damage tests.
