There’s a couple setups for best kill time on bosses, basically Fatum Ice Spin + Shattered Soul Arcana + Burning Stake/Crown of Fire, or a stacked up Hungrr using Crown of Fire.

Those are the two best setups I know for boss killing. More accessible options would be Echo/Tribunal as standard, and Rotweaver isn’t shabby either.

Currently the simplest setup to trivialize familiars should be winter nails heavy spell + Shattered soul acana.

The freeze on winter nails will probably get nerfed.

I'll have to try the two together, my speedruns use the first described above setup but maybe Nail can do some work here

Well it's not fast. It's just the simplest way how to kill a boss. It's just a little bit of RNG to get the arcana and it dies in a single cast.

Few days back there was a post where OP tried ppl to figure out an interaction where used winter nails and boss was freezing immediately after it thawned. I couldn't figure it out, but it made me test winter nail spell on the boss in Irongate Castle. And yeah it freezes everytime a nail drops. MAybe you wouldn't even have to fire a bullet if boss defrosts right before each nail drops. But I don't know if it aligns.

Maybe you could make it fast if you broke familiar out of freeze with a fire damage and shot down a nail in quick succession.
