A: Defeat Tormented Trobbio at The Stage in Whispering Vaults (Act 3). Requires Double Jump and Silk Soar to access. The fight is a mirror reflection puzzle with Trobbio's attacks.

A: Pair with Witch Crest to amplify Bind effectiveness, and Multibinder for double flash triggers. Also synergizes well with Injector Band for explosive healing windows.
