Generates vertical damaging zones that deal continuous damage to any enemy within them. The rifts form as persistent vertical columns rather than projectiles — enemies passing through or staying inside take ongoing damage. The vertical orientation makes the weapon naturally effective against enemy formations that cluster along vertical paths. Level scaling increases zone count, width, and damage.

Obtained by selecting it in the Ebony Diabologue or purchasing from the Librarian — no character-specific unlock condition.

Max Dark Rift (Lv 8), carry Death Spiral, and open an elite-drop chest after 10:00 to evolve. The post-evolution weapon name is currently unconfirmed from available data.

• Vertical zones automatically cover vertically-clustered enemy formations with sustained damage
• Accessible via Ebony Diabologue or Librarian — no specific character requirement
• Zone-type damage requires no precise aim — enemies entering the area take damage automatically

• Fixed vertical orientation struggles against horizontally-spread enemies
• Efficiency drops in sparse environments without enemy clusters to fill the zones
• Evolution destination currently unknown

• Characters who move in vertical patterns: maximize overlap between movement route and zone placement
• Imelda: +10% Growth for faster Lv8
• Characters with Speed bonuses: faster movement enables quicker repositioning to cover new vertical lanes

• Death Spiral: mandatory for evolution (top priority)
• Spinach: +10% Might raises continuous zone damage
• Tome: Duration increase extends how long each zone persists before refresh
• Candelabrador: wider area expands zone width, increasing horizontal coverage per zone

• IX Divine Bloodline: crit compounding on the continuous zone hits raises DPS
• XI Celestial Dusting: attack acceleration in specific situations

• Early (0–10 min): Level Dark Rift and move through enemy clusters along vertical paths — let the zones form on top of enemy concentrations. Candelabrador widens each zone to compensate for horizontal spread.
• Mid (10–20 min): Secure Death Spiral and push to Lv8 for evolution. Tome extends zone duration for more seamless continuous coverage between refreshes.
• Late (20+ min): Post-evolution zones cover dense vertical clusters at high efficiency. Spinach raises per-zone damage to match the scaling enemy density.

Q: How do I get Dark Rift?
A: Select it in the Ebony Diabologue or purchase it from the Librarian. No specific character unlock is required.

Q: When do the vertical zones appear?
A: The weapon automatically generates vertical damage zones. As level increases, more zones are deployed simultaneously, covering multiple vertical lanes at once.

Q: How do I handle horizontally-spread enemies?
A: Candelabrador widens each zone's horizontal span. Multiple zones at higher levels also cover a wider horizontal spread in aggregate.
