This Shadowform Holy Scytheway build is designed to do Bone Pits for Underworld speed clears. Using Shadow Form to maintain invincibility, this build takes advantage of the double damage inflicted against undead by holy damage attacks.

Consumables are required for this build to function.

Counters

 * Riposte and Deadly Riposte; don't attack Bladed or Vengeful Aatxes.
 * Lava Font; avoid standing adjacent to a Terrorweb Dryder with another person near it.
 * Shock; goes through Shadow Form's protection, Charged Blackness use it.
 * Traps; laid by Obsidian Behemoth.
 * Area of Effect Hexes and Spells; kill all bone minions first, killing their owner Bone Collector will cause them to go berserk, and you will be hit by various area effect curses and spells.
