4. CoC Cold Reap Cyclone Inquisitor (Templar)
The CoC Reap Cyclone Inquisitor is a cast on critical strike Cyclone variant that uses the Reap spell to deal damage.
Mapping: 8/10 Delve: 10/10 Heist: 8/10 Damage: 8/10 Safety: 7/10 Bosses: 8/10​
Build Guide
CoC Cold Reap Cyclone uses a physical damage spell that deals self damage. It does however deal strong self damage even after taking a few life regeneration nodes on the tree. Physical to cold conversion is highly recommended because Hatred is the best offensive aura for this build, Inquisitor's ignore the elemental resistances of enemies on critical strikes, and there are numerous increased elemental damage nodes in the Templar tree.

5. CoC Ice Spear Cyclone Inquisitor (Templar)
Ice Spear received a buff in a previous season with the addition of Ice Spear of Splitting and is now fifth place.
Mapping: 9/10 Delve: 7/10 Heist: 10/10 Damage: 8/10 Safety: 7/10 Bosses: 7/10
Build Guide
The CoC Ice Spear Cyclone Inquisitor got a major buff with the addition of Ice Spear of Splitting. Ice Spear of Splitting was a huge buff because they removed the 600% critical strike chance which is redundant on a CoC build, balanced it by increasing its damage, and made it now split to seven enemies on hit. If you would like to try out this visually fun and interesting build a guide for it can be found here CoC Ice Spear Cyclone Inquisitor Guide.

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 as a melee build. The Inquisitor ascendancy is also much stronger than the Occultist version of the build because it's a life based build that ignores the elemental resistances of enemies.
