Other options by slot
The best ranged pick for each slot and the next best options. Each percentage is the DPS you lose by swapping in just that item against Nylocas Vasilias.
Mechanics
He changes colour every 10 ticks, and the colour is his weakness: blue for magic, green for ranged, white for melee.
He never repeats a colour, so you switch constantly. Hitting him with the wrong style reflects all the damage back at you and heals him. In hard mode his ranged hits everyone within 2 tiles of the target, so spread out with 3-tile gaps, and his magic bounces to everyone else. Entry mode changes colour more slowly.
Which style: All three styles. Match his colour or the hit bounces back and heals him.
