Pact Spirits

Legendary Pact Spirits

Swaying Bonnie: Grants +2 max channeled stacks + Movement speed (Best tier 1/6 pet imo)

Abyssal King Soul: Being the only source in the game for additional REAP CDR + Movement Speed makes him insanely strong in the late game, allowing you to reach reap cdr break points. (Best tier 6/6 pet imo)

Portrait of a Fallen Saintess: Offers a great amount of erosion penetration early on. Very crucial before obtaining other sources of erosion pen.

Rare Pact Spirits

Letice - Flame: Gives reap CDR + Movement speed and additional sources of damage / affliction

Greedy Chestnut - Radiance: Gives additional source of damage / skill duration

Magic Pact Spirits

Shocket - Violet: Gives reap CDR + Movement speed and additional sources of damage / affliction

Luluri - Golden Leaf: Gives additional source of damage / skill duration

Treasure Trove

Treasure Trove are side zones that give a TON of exp and exclusive legendary items. You’ll want to complete each one as they also give you an additional talent point.

Below are specific troves I suggest you re-run for their exclusive item

Treasure Trove: Nectar Valley | Level 16

Grace Boots: Grants a lot of movement speed if you reach MAX focus blessings. Thankfully the boots come with a source of granting them but Thea 3 also naturally generates all 3 types of blessings.

Treasure Trove: Dawn Avenue | Level 27

Scepter of Excommunication: Insanely strong weapon that you’ll want to dual wield them. They will carry you to maps, so make sure you re-run this trove til you have 2.

Treasure Trove: Sanctuary of Solitude | Level 35

Unholy Prayer: This ring has 3 variant (Agility / Focus / Tenacity) blessings. Ideally you’ll want to equip 2 of these rings but with either agility / tenacity or a mix of both. Reasoning is focus blessing grants the most damage out of the 3 blessings, being Thea 3 means that + any blessing will instead be converted to desecration stacks.

Treasure Trove: Hall of Grandiosity | Level 54

Gauze of Phantom Sin: This chest has been nerfed in SS10. Now rolls between -1 / +1 blessings, so you’ll want to farm out a decent one with good positive rolls.

Leveling?

PSA: There are a ton of leveling guides out there for Thea 3, so I don\'t find it necessary to add another one, as they are all similar.

Below are content creators who already have a leveling guide for Thea 3.

MC Swap

Mind Control won\’t be available til level 55, but i recommend you just use your leveling skill til around timemark T3 / T4. This is because scepters start dropping around that mark and you can get yourself a decent crafted scepter for Mind Control.

One thing I do want to mention is that it is possible to level with MC at level 55. I did last season and it was great, but I do have legendary pets to help me out.

That being said, it\'s one of those situations where you have to feel for it. Either you play it safe and get to T3/T4, find 2 scepters and craft them so you can swap to MC or be a mad man like me and level with it from level 55.

IF you do swap at level 55, here are the skills I’d link

Mind Control ➡️ Reaping Agony ➡️ Cataclysm ➡️ Control spell ➡️ Passivation ➡️ Guard

Blink or Speed Phantom ➡️ Magic Dash ➡️ Quick Mobility

Corruption Curse ➡️ Terrain of Malice ➡️ Extended Duration ➡️ Increased AoE (optional)

Mana Boil or Arcane Circle ➡️ Preparation ➡️ Well Fought Battle

Black Hole or Frost Shield ➡️ Reaping Agony ➡️ Extended Duration ➡️ CDR

MC Tree Swap at level 55

Scepter Affix Priority from LEFT to RIGHT:

Reap x DOT ➡️ % Affliction Effect ➡️ INT ➡️ DOT ➡️ Erosion Damage ➡️ Reap Duration

Build Coes Y2

I’d like to apologize in advance. The thought of

playing Youga 2 (Space Time Elapse) has been on

my mind for the last 2 seasons… I finally decided

to commit to it, meaning that I am parting ways

with Thea 3 as of now. I will still answer questions

regardless of which hero you are playing.

Ancillary Notes & Visuals

The original document contains numerous image blocks and inline captions detailing the pact spirits, treasure troves, dream affixes, and build progression, as well as several code sequences for DPS milestones. The content is a highly iterative, season-long guide with day-by-day milestones and codes tied to item drops and player skill level. The following credits and references are included: Miakitten, TheUberElite, and mrbroker.

Credits & Access Summary

Credit: Miakitten | TheUberElite

In-game build codes are retrievable by following the creator on pro builds using the character name “mrbroker.” Build codes are dropped as progression occurs and each code references IDEAL pets; DPS may vary based on available gear.

This document emphasizes the ongoing evolution of the build, with Eternity codes beginning at the later stages of progression. Even if you do not own Eternity, you can still follow the earlier parts of the guide and adapt the codes as you acquire items.

Short References (Inline)

The primary spirit pets are categorized as Legendary, Rare, and Magic Pact Spirits with effects centered on Reap CDR, movement speed, erosion penetration, and additional damage/affliction sources.
Treasure Troves provide exclusive items and talent points and include Nectar Valley, Dawn Avenue, Sanctuary of Solitude, and Hall of Grandiosity.
The guide includes a Leveling section with external resources and content creators.
The Mind Control swap occurs around level 55; a safe approach is to level to T3/T4 first, then transition to MC with crafted scepters; the option to use MC at level 55 exists with trade-offs.
The dream and sequence affixes offer prioritized bonuses that scale with affliction, reaping, and endurance effects.
