Introduction
The following guide takes the player through the combat of the
Into the Abyss Expansion with as little effort as possible. This guide is targeted at people who have either completed or nearly completed the base game. Completion of at least the Air God Dungeon is recommended to follow the largest portion of this guide. Frequent skill swapping in
Into the Abyss is a lot more important than in 
base game, so if you are struggling to progress try leveling some non-combat skills first.
Skill Trees are also extremely important, make sure you are acquiring the buffs as those points come in to make progression significantly faster.
This Guide is NOT designed with the Ancient Relics Game Mode in mind. Players looking for more information about that Game Mode should visit the Ancient Relics Guide.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Other Combat Changes
Because the combat mechanics in this expansion are rather complex, and minor changes in enemy, equipment and player stats can make specific items better or worse it is always recommended to use the Combat Simulator to verify how to get the most kills per hour or drops per hour.
Stats and Buffs
Having progressed through 
combat will make 
combat significantly easier. This is due to the huge damage increase in the 
Spectre 
Spider compared to
Tortoise , the summon set from
and the endgame weapons from
.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning
There are two main summoning synergies to use for 
Barrier focused combat:
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 115 Spectre
Spider for huge summoning max hit damage - Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 90 Tortoise Error creating thumbnail: File missingDragon if you haven't unlocked the above synergy

Base Game
Collect the first three god sets from:
,
and
. Collecting the fire god set from
will also be helpful but not strictly required. It is only for endgame clear speed improvement when you have enough damage reduction already.
Throne of the Herald
Ensure you have the following armour from
. This will be BIS save for a few items near the end of :
Hood of Shade Summon
Amulet of Curse Totem Summon
Gloves of Greater Shade Summon
Ring of Phantom Summon
Collect the three weapons from
as these are the BIS for most encounters:
Acquiring the 
Superior Max Skillcape will also be helpful.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore
Diamond Luck Potion IV is BIS if you haven't built Error creating thumbnail: File missingWaterfall Crossing yet
Max Hit potions can be a solid and reliable source of increased damage
Damage Reduction Potion IV is incredibly useful for meeting DR requirements-
Penetration Potion IV are potentially the highest amount of raw dps that can be gained from a potion and, once unlocked, can be used as the default combat potion for all Expansion Combat as soon as 
Ectoplasm is easily farmed -
Critical Strike Potion IV are about equal to Penetration Potions in most situations, but require a material that is easier to obtain without doing difficult combat

Consumables
- Fervor Scroll
Monster Hunter Scroll
Summoner's Blessing is good but requires a lot of effort to get so use sparingly
Blood Chalice
Power Crystals
Relic Whetstone and 
Charged Relic Quiver are technically good but they take so much effort to get they are ultimately useless
Make sure to run in Combat Simulator to find out what to use! These are just recommendations.
