Breaking down the best Warrior build in Rune Slayer

Build overview

The best build for a Warrior class avatar prioritizes dishing out damage with a few healing abilities from the Priest multiclass. This allows you to defeat enemies with ease since you can always heal off the damage they deal. Furthermore, certain abilities in the Warrior tree let you increase your damage reduction rate, effectively cutting down the damage you receive from enemies.

This build is best created from scratch, as there are certain choices in the character creation process that leave a major impact on your playthrough. The very first decision to make is the playable race, of which there are a couple of decent options.

We recommend picking the Half-Golem race for its increased damage reduction, max speed, max weight, and Robustness. You can select a Racial Upgrade later on, giving you three options: Crystal Golem, Assault Golem, and Siege Golem. Of these, the Assault and Siege variations improve the avatar’s attack and speed, respectively. You may pick one based on your preferences, as they are equally effective in combat, albeit in slightly different ways.

Since you receive stats automatically when leveling up and there are no skill points to distribute, simply allow the progression system to take over until level 30. Once at level 30, you'll get to choose your specialization from Sword Master, Berserker, and Knight. There are merits to all three subclasses, but you can safely rely on Berserker as its passives improve your attack power based on remaining HP. As you fight enemies, you will take damage, and your Berserker abilities will trigger, allowing you to retaliate in equal or even greater measure.

At level 35, multiclass into Priest to get access to healing abilities. The combination of healing spells and the Warrior-centric abilities is highly synergistic, allowing you to switch between offensive and defensive play styles as you see fit. As a level 5 Priest, you can cast buffs, dispel negative effects, and cast a shield that reduces incoming damage. When at critically low HP, you will be able to heal back up and return to the fight.
