The build revolves around Erasing Strike, a high-impact melee skill that deals massive Void damage in a large area. The skill can instantly decimate enemies under certain conditions. Here's the optimal skill loadout for your Void Knight build in Last Epoch:

Erasing Strike: Your main damage dealer. Specialize it for increased area, Void damage scaling, and the chance to instantly erase enemies below a health threshold of up to 10% with a fully upgraded Erasure of the Living. Upgrade it to Shattered Continuity for Erasing Strike to no longer have a cooldown.
Devouring Orb: Creates a deadly orb at a specified target location for 10 seconds. The orb deals Void damage over time (DoT) and casts a Void Rift when an enemy dies near it, dealing further Void damage. Upgrade it to Dark Moon to make the Devouring Orb orbit around you. Putting points into Abyssal Emission makes the skill cast a seeking orb, dealing further area-of-effect damage.
Anomaly: Soft crowd control and a source of additional damage. Modify it to apply Void vulnerability for better synergy with your core skills. Spend points on Time Bubble for slowing down enemies while improving critical strike chance and attack speed.
Healing Hands: Provides 50 healing at a target area and leaves a lingering warmth that heals 80 health over three seconds. Spending points on Sun Shroud will make you immune to incoming damage while moving with Healing Hands.
Hammer Throw: Throws a hammer at the enemies, which returns after a short period. This skill scales with Strength and Dexterity, giving 4% increased damage per point.

How to play Erasing Strike Void Knight in Last Epoch: Skill rotation explained

The gameplay loop is straightforward but demands good timing:

Apply Volatile Reversal on grouped enemies or bosses to increase their Void damage taken.
Cast Erasing Strike as your main damage dealer. Aim for low-health enemies to trigger instant-kill mechanics.
Trigger Devouring Orb to sustain damage over time at a location.
Use Hammer Throw to engage enemies, dealing both physical and void damage.
Use Healing Hands as required and get healed while gaining immunity.

Mastering Volatile Reversal usage is key — timing it right can reset both your position and mana pool, keeping your offensive uptime high.

Even with all the tankiness of the build, it still is an offensive character designed to dish out as much damage as possible. So playing it smart is the best way to go.
