Intro

This is not a full Walkthrough, it is more like a Guideline for smooth Progression.
The Builds here are kept as simple as possible and are used for the early game,
while presenting enough information how to gain requirements.

Some Gold-Farming might be necessary, but I encourage YOU to explore the Quest Board
and to leave the straight-forward path...

IMPORTANT

If you are struggeling at some point, please let me know in the comments.

Keep in mind, those are only suggestions. In the end, you decide what to do.
All Builds are focused around having fun and are open to individual fine tuning with Abilities and Equipment, which allows more variation, combinations and shenanigans.

Preperation and Information

How to read the "Build"?

Potion of Memories (MP) = X + X
Reverberant Tinkture (RT) = x2

Example:

Trait

Tier I

Tier II

Tier III

Tier IV

Weapon Proficiency

Coverage + Power

Coverage + Power x2

Proficient Stance

Dexterity

Dexterity + Reach

Reach x2

Dedication

Health + Regeneration

Health

Health x2 + Regeneration

Weapon Proficiency Tier I

lock the first Trait you see with (MP)
pick the other Trait, when it shows up
pick the locked Trait afterwards

Weapon Proficiency Tier IV - pick Power with (RT)

Trait Priorities

Long Fingers (Pickup Range) is up to the individual, I personally prefer to pick it as early as possible.
Priorities will be categorized and follow a general rule, if not specificly named.
Traits listed under "Banish" are excluded from the "Priority Category".
As an example:
- "Speed" equals Attack + Movement Speed, so both Traits should have a high priority.
- "Movement Speed" alone will take priority over Attack Speed

Character = listed Weapon Proficiency = Proficient Stance > Dedication Traits
Ability = listed Ability Traits
Speed = Movement Speed > Attack Speed
Damage = Damage > Crit Chance > Crit Damage > Force
Reach = Range > Area
Defense = Bulwark > Max HP = Regen = Block = Defense

Advanced Traits should always have the highest priority after Character and Ability Traits,
since they have limited Tiers and are hard restricted with Hero Levels.

Piercing Wind
Multistrike
Demonic Exchange (Damage, Force, Speed)
Affinities (Fire, Frost, Lighting, False Blessing, Crippling Strikes)
Elemental Surge (Fire, Ice, Lighting)
Ethereal Shift (A+B)

Remaining Potions of Oblivion (Banish) can and should be used for unlisted Character and Ability Traits, to narrow down the Trait Pool as much as possible.

Traits

Since Traits are locked behind a fixed Minimum Hero Level, some Hero Levels can be quite crucial to gain a specific Trait.
This is also important for Potions of Oblivion, because if you clear out the Pool as early as possible from unwanted Trait Branches. you increase your Odds for wanted Traits to be offered.

As an example:
At Hero Level 24 you can be offered Ability Tier III Traits, which will allow to upgrade an Ability.
You want the Ability Trait at this Hero Level, before reaching Hero Level 25,
since at Hero Level 25 Character Traits Tier III become avaible as well, which can fill the Pool by up to 6 Traits at this point, without considering the use of Banish.

Key Levels are also Hero Level 48+49, since you can get Ability Tier VI Traits, before Basic Traits Tier V become avaible at Hero Level 50, which again increases your chance by a good margin.

Ability Upgrades and 2nd Abilities

Ability Upgrades should be picked as soon as possible.
Earliest possible at Hero Level 24, after picking the Ability Tier III Trait.

It can happen, that you get offered your 2nd wanted Ability while upgrading your 1st.
Choose carefully, if you can manage the RNG involved, since you fill your Pool with additional Ability Traits.

An almost perfect outcome for getting the 2nd Ability is probably after you have picked all Character Traits and after upgrading the 1st Ability at Tier VI. At this point, you can handle additional Traits in your pool pretty well, without RNG screwing you over too much.

Level-Up Stats for Characters

Each Character has unique Level-Up Bonuses.
Especially Early-Game, it is important to make use of those.

Some Words about Defense

Defense

In some situations Defense can be the difference about life and death,
so it is up to the individual, how much Level-Ups are spent into Defensive Traits.

But under most conditions Defense is useless in later minutes of the run,
since most enemies die before reaching you.
Along with that, there are always passive ways to gain Health Regen and Defense,
without wasting valueable Level-Ups for dead Stats.

IN MY OPINION the best Defense is Movement Speed.
All enemies can be outmaneuvered and Movement Speed is very often another offensice Stat as well, because alot of Abilities scale with MS, which will increase their DPS.

--- Chapter I: Haunted Caverns ---

AVAIBLE BY DEFAULT
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3604421966

As Basic as it could be...

You will gain in Strength naturally over time with more Equipment, XP-Boni, Traits, Blessings and Abilities, so all Builds will advance over time and get stronger.
If you ever get stuck in early game, do something "out of order".
There is no given path you have to follow...

Before the Storm

Here are some early steps to get early Builds going and to lay a foundation for fresh players,
with fully filled Equipment Slots, since Equipment has an important role, followed by Potions.

Blessings

Blessings are a crucial part for Metaprogression.
The Shrine of Blessings is unlocked via
Milestones I - Obulus - (ANY)
- Collect a total of 300 Gold.
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3602571568
This will give you access to some Blessings right from the getgo:

- Movement Speed
- Health Capacity
- Defense
- Attack Range
- Area / Projectile Size
- Pickup Range

But there is one you might want to focus on first to speed up progression:
Gold Blessing
Milestones I - Elite Slayer I - (ANY)
- Kill a total of 50 Elite enemies.
This will give you access to the Gold Blessing, which increases Gold Gain.

You can always refund Blessing Investments to adjust those to your Build,
until you can max out all of them.

More early Blessings

Damage
Story: Path of the Sword - Strong Arms - (Swordsman)
- Acquire the trait "Strenght IV".
Health Regeneration
Milestones I - Thirsty - (ANY)
- Consume a total of 10 Health Potions.
Attack Speed
Story: Swift as an Arrow - Breathless - (Archer)
- Acquire the trait "Quick Hands IV".

The first Step

The Wellkeeper and his Service

To retrieve found items for permanent use, the Wellkeeper has to be freed in the first place.
This can be done on Ember Grounds via a small quest.

With unlocking the Wellkeeper Equipment will become avaible, which gives a huge power-boost, allows collecting of more items and makes stronger builds possible.

Ember Grounds
Chapter I: Haunted Caverns - The Imp Chieftain
- Defeat the Imp Chieftain.
First Boss in this adventure, spawning at 24:00.
His defeat will unlock Chapter II: Ember Grounds.

Wellkeeper
Chapter II: Ember Grounds - The Wellkeeper
- Enter Ember Grounds and rescue the Wellkeeper.

enter Ember Grounds and follow the unique compass icon
after a short talk, the Wellkeeper wants to be freed
find they Cage Key marked with a new compass icon and open the Cage

Can easy be made with the Archer, due her faster movement speed,
She is already unlocked by surviving Haunted Caverns until 26:00mins left.

After the rescue, the Wellkeeper will sit on the left side of the camp, right next to your Stash Chest. Some good Starter Items can already be found inside.

This will open up the path for your first Builds.

Swordsman

AVAIBLE BY DEFAULT
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3604366180

Detour...

The next step on your journey, but I would recommend a little detour before...

The Cupbearer and his Service

To unlock Potions, the Cupbearer has to be rescued in the first place.
This can be done on Forgotten Viaducts via a small quest.

With unlocking the Cupbearer, Ingredients can be collected, to unlock various Potions.
Potions are a strong addition to the arsenal and boost the overall powerlevel by a huge margin,
since they can be used to manipulate and boost Traits or RNG.

Forgotten Viaduct
Chapter II: Ember Grounds - Wraith Warlord
- Defeat the Wraith Warlord.
Second Boss on Ember Grounds, spawning at 13:50.
His defeat will unlock Chapter III: Forgotten Viaduct.

Chapter III: Forgotten Viaduct
The Cupbearer - Enter Forgotten Viaduct and rescue the Cupbearer.

enter Forgotten Viaduct and follow the unique compass icon
after a short talk, the Cupbearer wants his potion flask
find the Potion Flask marked with a new compass icon and bring it back

Again, can easy be made with the Archer due her faster movement speed.

After the rescue, the Cupbearer will sit on the right side of the camp.
One Strong Wine is granted, which can be used to reroll a Trait Selection on level up.
Also, the Gatherer's Charm will be placed in your Stash, which boosts Movement Speed and works like a Compass for Ingredient Farming.

IMPORTANT

New Item

Duellist's Spark
Story: Steady Shield - Duelist - (Shield Maiden)
- Defeat a Lord.

This Item is very special, since the Stat Bonus gets increased with every kill
for Elites, Champions and Lords.
I will exclude it from the Builds found here, because everyone has different Values.
You should use it as often as possible, because this is probably the strongest Item in the game.

New Blessings

Crit Bonus
Story: Steady Shield - Critical Prowess - (Shield Maiden)
- Deal 33 333 damage with a single hit.

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3340637835

FROM NOW ON ALL ITEMS ARE RETRIEVED FOR FREE

Entering the Vault

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3340643501
You have to pay a Tribute of 1000 Gold each time you want to enter the Vault.
You can spend infinite amounts to increase various Stats, increase the Difficulty
or to increase the amount of Torment Shards dropped by the Lord.
But you should stick to the basic 1000 Gold until you get way stronger,
since the Vault is pretty dangerous on your first visit.

Exploring the Vault

Unlike the other Stages, the Vault has no Timelimit.
Instead, you have to unleash the Lord on his Golden Throne by destroying 4 Pillars,
which power the Shield that seals him.

The longer you take, the more difficult it gets.
Each 4 Minutes, Torment Rank will increase by 1 and peaks at 20 Minutes on TR 5.
As we learned in Agony, this increases various Stats for the Enemies and the Lord included.
