How to Build Martha?

Many players choose to optimize her for Osh, since it is her main use by far.

However, should you decide to strengthen her, know the difference between an optimal and a maxed Martha is only about 10% on auto mode! Albeit it may also be a good idea for pvp to not give her too much health.

Finally note that her second ascension skill is slightly detrimental for Osh. Probably good for pvp though - not sure.

Breakdown

With Robin the optimal values I found are:

  • gear at red0

  • ascension II complete (and some magic attack nodes on III)

  • first ascension skill complete

  • no health skin

  • no health glyph (unless your tree of wisdom is too low)

  • max tree of wisdom

Base Health thresholds (without Robin)

Below 341k hp Martha will be stunned by meteors (very bad)
341k - 487k hp A single meteor will manage to make her ult for the first shower (very good)
487k - 1075k hp Two meteors will manage to make her ult for the first shower (reduced survival chances)

If you want to optimize, stay in the middle range. If you go beyond that, you should still not increase her health too much for the next showers.

Explanations

You want Martha to ult as soon as possible during the meteor shower, to give everyone the armor artifact they need to survive.

So first, you must ensure she does not get stunned by a meteor: every hit above 20% of the max health of a character stuns him. This means at least 441k hp here (341k without Robin)!

Second of all, she must get 1000 energy at the start of every meteor shower. A quick reminder:

  • 40s between showers (20s for the first one)

  • 100 energy per basic attack, every 8s for Martha

  • 100 energy whenever her totem activates (every 15s)

  • 250 initial energy from the gold buff "Jumpstart"

  • 75 energy every 5s from Robin

  • 80-200 energy per meteor hit

With Robin you will reach the first shower with 850 energy. For a single meteor to make her ult you need to have at worst 587k health in total, so only 487k health without Robin!
