Builds

Not sure how to spend your levels? These builds are complete setups for level 150, the level most players settle on for co-op and late-game fights. Each one lists stats, weapons, talismans, armor and a spirit ash, explains why the pieces fit together and gives a few tips for playing it well.

Every build has a button that opens it in our Build Planner, where you can tweak the stats, swap gear and see HP, equip load and attack rating change as you go.

How to pick a build

Start with the playstyle you enjoy rather than the one that looks strongest on paper. Heavy weapons reward patience, katanas reward aggression and casters reward keeping your distance. Your starting class matters less than it seems, since every class can reach any build by level 150, but picking one close to your target saves a few levels.

If you are new to the game, our Beginner’s Guide and the guides on stats and attributes and weapon scaling explain the basics behind these choices.
