Drain Edge
Mythic Engraving · Sustain DPS · Restores HP based on physical damage dealt.

Effect Details
- Restores a percentage of physical damage dealt on hit; scales with weapon DPS and crit uptime.
- Healing is steady, keeping you topped during boss patterns without burning consumables.
- Works best on fast weapons (Daggers, Katanas) or multi-hit skills to maximize proc frequency.
Best Builds & Synergy
- High-APS melee: Daggers/fast swords stack frequent hits to sustain through chip damage.
- Berserker low-HP play: Pair with Rage Mark to trade HP for burst while self-healing.
- Solo bossing: Lets you greed damage windows instead of disengaging to heal.
How to Use
- Maintain constant aggression; healing scales with uptime, not with big single hits.
- Stack attack speed and crit chance to raise healing ticks per second.
- Combine with moderate defense (Ward Patch) to smooth spikes while healing through chip.
Farming & Progression Tips
- Target Mythic sources and high-tier content; keep pickaxe progression to farm faster with Miner Shard equipped.
- Run burn/poison sigils (Flaming Spark, Venom Crumb) for extra DPS while Drain Edge sustains you.
- Swap to economy pieces when gathering, then back to Drain Edge before bosses.
