Albion Online is one of the few MMORPGs that is cross platform. Like most of the other titles in the genre, this game does have a steep learning curve. Furthermore, it's difficult to make progress in the game as a solo player without the appropriate builds either. Apart from that, a certain amount of game sense and awareness about the map is also necessary, for a solo player, to move to the advanced stages of the game.
Builds play a vital role in MMORPGs. There are a lot of aspects when it comes to making a build too. That said, here are some of the best solo builds that players can try in Albion Online.
5 best builds for solo players in Albion Online
One of the key features of every solo build in the game is maintaining high mobility. The logic is simple, the faster you are, the harder it gets to hit you. Not only does this logic apply to PvP activities, but it fits in PvE activities too. That said, here are some of the builds that you can try in the game.
1) Spear build
The one-handed Spear build is best for beginners because it's one of the most forgiving builds. In case you make a mistake in combat, there's always a scope to make corrections to avoid taking massive damage. That said, the build also has high mobility as well, meaning you will be able to dash around the battlefield in Albion Online as much as you please.
Weapon skills: Forest of Spears, Impaler, Reckless Charge
Gear: Torch, Hunter Hood, Mercenary Jacket, Thetford Cape, Soldier Boots
Food: Healing Potion, Roasted Pork
2) Bloodletter build
At one point in time, the Bloodletter was one of the most devastating weapons in the game. However, its popularity has declined over the past few months. Although the weapon isn't as widely used as it was before, it is still one of the best weapons for a solo build in Albion Online.
Unlike the Spear build, which is known for its mobility, the Bloodletter build can dish out a lot of damage, and is best for clearing out groups of ads.
Weapon skills: Deadly Swipe, Chain Slash, Dash.
Gear: Torch, Mage Cowl, Assassin Jacket, Assassin Shoes
Food: Healing Potion, Beef Stew
3) Dual Blades
This build is best for beginners trying to get a grip on the game. It will work in your favor as long as you don't try to get your hands dirty if you see a big fight going down. Just like the one-handed spear build, this one also boasts high mobility, but you will have to stay in the melee range of your enemies, which is one of the drawbacks of this build.
Weapon skills: Heroic Cleave, Blade Cyclone, Spinning Blades
Gear: Mage Cowl, Mercenary Jacket, Soldier's Boot, Cape
Food: Poison Potion, Roasted Pork
4) Cursed Staff
Just like the Bloodletter build, the one-handed Cursed Staff build is a beast when it comes to damaging enemies. However, it does not have high mobility at all. Either way, it's good at dismissing both single targets and groups of enemies easily, so you won't need high mobility with this build. If used correctly, you can even end up soloing dungeons with this build. While not aimed at beginners, this is probably one of the most versatile solo builds that the game has to offer.
Weapon skills: Cursed Tar, Cursed Beam, Bane
Gear: Scholar Cowl, Hellion Jacket, Guardian Boots, Thetford Cape
Food: Healing Potion, Roasted Pork
5) Dagger
The two-handed Dagger build is by far one of the best builds that Albion Online has to offer. It has a decent amount of mobility coupled with high damage. You will be able to stun bosses easily, before taking them down too. Furthermore, it's safe to say that the build is an all-rounder because not only does it work well as a solo build, but it works well in groups too.
Weapon skills: Deadly Swipe, Shadow Edge, Deep Cuts
Gear: Fiend Cowl, Mercenary Jacket, Sandals of Purity, Undead Cape
Food: Healing Potion, Beef Stew
That concludes our list of five best solo builds in Albion Online. The game does have a lot of other builds to offer, so feel free to experiment and see which build works best for you.
