The Queen of Chaos was a particular affinity to two Ascendancies, to achieve its unique balance
of offense and defense:


1. Lich Ascendancy (Witch Class)
The Lich focuses on overwhelming offensive power and battlefield destruction.
Key Benefits: Grants a significant boost to damage, allows for an extra curse to cripple powerful enemies and bosses, and provides the invaluable Explode mechanic to clear entire screens of lesser foes instantly.
2. Chronomancer Ascendancy (Sorceress Class)
The Chronomancer is all about utility and dominating the flow of combat.
Key Benefits: Provides access to powerful time manipulation abilities, including a substantial increase to slow effects to nullify enemy speed, the life-saving Temporal Rift skill, and the ultimate area-control tool: Time Freeze.
This pairing allows the build to seamlessly transition between a powerful glass cannon and a strategic control mage, letting you decide when to unleash a barrage of death and when to simply rewind or halt time itself to secure victory.

Essence Drain is a chaos projectile spell that applies a strong damage over time debuff to enemies. This will be your primary single target damage skill.

Contagion provides strong area-of-effect (AOE) damage. It spreads all damage over time effects when the first enemy dies. Quality in Contagion targets 2 additional targets Use Gemcutter’s Prism to increase the gem quality to 20%.

Dark Effigy supports Essence Drain by applying poison and wither, This boosts your chaos damage over time.

Despair is your main curse. It lowers the chaos resistance of enemies in range.

Sigil of Power places a sigil on the ground. It grants (10–14)% more spell damage per stage, up to a maximum of 4 stages.

The Whispers of Doom Keystone or Doedre's Damning unique ring allows you to cast more than one curse.

Temporal Chains slow enemies and extends the duration of debuffs.

Enfeeble reduces the damage enemies deal.

Blasphemy Turn socketed Curse skills into vile Auras, Quality in Blasphemy reduces spirit consumption. Use Gemcutter’s Prism to increase the gem quality to 20%.

Withering Presence provides a persistent buff and applies wither to nearby enemies,
increasing chaos damage taken
by 5% per stack, for a total of 170% at 10 stacks and +240% Withered magnitude.
(80% from gloves, 80% from belt, %40 from Jewel 40% from the passive skill tree)

GEssence Drain
· Swift Affliction II .
· Considered Casting .
· Zenith II‌.
· Drain Ailments / Sione's Temper‌
· Deliberation‌ / Chain II.


Considered Casting , Swift Affliction , Deliberation‌ , Zenith will increase its damage directly.
Drain Ailments is strong but requires a secondary skill. We’ll use Dark Effigy to apply the ailment.
While clearing Maps , swap Deliberation‌ with Chain, and Drain Ailments with Sione's Temper‌
Contagion
· Unleash.
· Magnified Area II‌.
· Intense Agony‌.
· Arcane Surge.
· Efficiency II.


Unleash and Intense Agony are the main supports for Contagion.
Intense Agony has an interesting interaction with Contagion. It increases damage over time debuffs on full-life enemies by 50%. Since Contagion spreads to new targets, the debuff continues applying the extra 50% damage. Make sure to increase the skill quality with Gemcutter’s Prism to add extra 2 additional targets
Arcane Surge grants 15% increased Cast Speed and 20% more Mana Regeneration Rate.
It lasts for 4 seconds.

We need additional capacity to use multiple curses since the default maximum is one. The Whispers of Doom Keystone and Incessant Cacophony will allow us to apply an extra curse.
Use Doedre's Damning ring while playing at Chronomancer
Once we can apply three curses, we’ll link Blasphemy with Despair , Temporal Chains and Enfeeble for maximum effectiveness:
Slow Potency increases the slow debuff applied by Temporal Chains.
Ritualistic Curse expands the Blasphemy aura’s area of effect.
Don’t forget that quality on Blasphemy reduces Spirit consumption, so upgrading it with a Gemcutter’s Prism is highly recommended.
When you fight single target or pinnacle bosses swap Despair with Heightened Curse and use the Cursed Ground Despair for more effectiveness of the curse on bosses
