Build Guide
The CoC Ice Spear Cyclone Inquisitor got a major buff with the addition of Ice Spear of Splitting.

HM. CoC Ice Nova Cyclone Inquisitor (Templar)
The CoC Ice Nova Cyclone Inquisitor is a flashy melee but meme build that's still solid at clearing damage.
Mapping: 8/10 Delve: 5/10 Heist: 9/10 Damage: 5/10 Safety: 8/10 Bosses: 5/10
Build Guide
The CoC Ice Nova Cyclone Inquisitor is much stronger defensively than the Assassin version of the build and is easier to build on a budget. The Inquisitor ascendancy is also stronger than the Occultist version of the build because Inquisitor is a life based build that ignores the elemental resistances of enemies.
