Lords of the Fallen: Best builds for all playstyles CI GamesLords of the Fallen is a Soulslike that pays tribute to some of the best parts of the Dark Souls series. Like any game in this genre, there are some powerful builds for every playstyle. Here are some of the best builds in Lords of the Fallen. If you\u2019ve ever played a Soulslike game before, you\u2019ll know that there are some classic build types often crafted around the traditional RPG archetypes of Warrior, Rogue, Wizard, and everything in between. These often translate into Strength, Dexterity, and Magic builds, or some combination of two. Lords of the Fallen is the same in this regard, with many of its top builds resembling playstyles we\u2019ve seen in other Soulslike games like Dark Souls, Lies of P, or the original LotF from 2014. Below, we\u2019ll cover the best builds we\u2019ve seen so far in the game, but will focus each one around Strength, Dexterity, and Magic to ensure we\u2019ve covered the three main styles of play in Lords of the Fallen. These are known as Strength, Agility, and Radiance\/Inferno in this game, like Elden Ring and other Souls games, Lords of the Fallen features two distinct forms of spell casting. Be aware that some of these builds will crisscross with other styles \u2013 as the best builds in games like this often make use of multiple skills and functions rather than just one. Contents Best builds in Lords of the Fallen For these builds, we\u2019re mostly going to focus on the gear you\u2019ll need to equip and stats you\u2019ll want to prioritize. We\u2019re not going to advise how many points you should pump into each stat, as this creates some flexibility around each build for you to put your own stamp on it \u2013 also, who knows how high you\u2019ll want to level up! Best Strength build The best Strength build in Lords of the Fallen is undoubtedly the Dark Crusader build, this is already pretty overpowered at the start of the game and comes somewhat pre-built for those who purchased the Deluxe Edition. But even if you bought the standard version, you can craft this build and catch up pretty easily by creating a Hallowed Knight character at the start of the game. From here, continue to upgrade your Strength, Endurance, and Vitality to ensure you\u2019ll remain powerful and protected in combat. This will also ensure you can wield heavy armor and weapons without them slowing you down. We also recommend that you completely ignore the Agility stat as you simply won\u2019t need the weapons it\u2019s needed for. Instead, focus on two-handed weapons, or a powerful weapon in one arm and a shield in the other. However, don\u2019t make the mistake many first-time Strength build users make and completely ignore magic. It always pays to have a secondary offensive style and a few spells to access when you need them will be a big help. Of course, you\u2019ll primarily be a tank, but our advice is to pick either the Radiance or Inferno stat (only pick one!) and level it sufficiently so that you can sling at least some basic spells at enemies. As we\u2019ll be using an overpowered two-handed fire sword later, we\u2019d suggest leveling Inferno for this build. Not only will this help you in boss fights when exploiting some enemy weaknesses, but it\u2019ll also give you some ranged attacks to use should you need them. Essentially, you should always have a use for your mana, even when using a melee-focused build. In terms of gear to equip, we recommend the following armor, weapons, and jewelry: Weapon: Sword of Skin and Tooth – Shield: None (Two-hand weapon) – Armor: Paladin\u2019s Armor Set (Upgrade to your choice in endgame, based on weight & defense needs) – Pendant: Warrior\u2019s Claw – Rings: Adyrqamar (Extra damage with two-handed weapons), Mineowner\u2019s Ring (Increases stamina and stamina regen) – Best Agility build Agility builds are essentially Lords of the Fallen\u2019s version of Dexterity builds, these are characters who rely on speed, skill, and finesse with smaller weapons to do their damage. It also allows them to wield bows, perform combos, and inflict more status effects on their enemies such as Bleed and Poison. There are a range of starting classes in that game that are ideal for different Agility builds, but for the one that we think is best, we\u2019re going to recommend the Blackfeather Ranger class. This starting character has good all-around stats but is clearly geared towards Agility. It\u2019ll also give you a nice range of options when it comes to choosing weapons. For this build, pump your stats into Agility and Vitality, while ignoring Strength. Level Endurance as and when you need it to ensure you can continue to move quickly, but the purpose of this build isn\u2019t to wield heavy weapons or armor, so we won\u2019t need much Endurance. Like with our Strength build, it\u2019s advisable to level up either your Radiance or Inferno, only choose one, and just get it to the point where you can competently fire off some spells should you need to. However, as this build is more proficient at using bows, you may not need as many points in these magic stats as the above build does. As for what gear to equip, we\u2019d recommend seeking out the following: Weapon: Assassin\u2019s Bow\/ Both Bringer of Stillness shortswords – Armor: Blackfeather armor set (Upgrade to another if you need more protection later and can spare the weight) – Pendant: Pendant of Induration (Increases defense) – Rings: Grayson\u2019s Ring (More damage when dual-wielding weapons), Mineowner\u2019s Ring (Boosts stamina & stamina regen) – Best Wizard build Lords of the Fallen has two schools of magic, Radiance, and Inferno, but for our best Wizard build, we\u2019re going to go with Inferno and create a kick-ass Pyromancer build known as a Pyric Cultist. So, pick that class to begin with. This build is all about the Inferno stat as we\u2019ll be blasting enemies with burn damage from a distance. However, it also pays to upgrade Vitality and Endurance to make sure we\u2019re not too much of a glass cannon. As we\u2019re servants to the flame, completely ignore the Radiance stat. If you want to engage in some melee and be a battlemage of sorts, then it may make sense to level either Strength or Agility, it depends on what kind of weapon you want to wield when you\u2019re not pelting Rhogar with fire. This is up to you, but we went with Strength and ignored Agility, mostly because we enjoyed the Strength-based weapons with fire buffs more. In some ways, this build could be viewed as our first build but in reverse. Here\u2019s what infernal gear you should find and equip: Weapon: Pyric Cultist\u2019s Staff (With Judge Cleric\u2019s Corrupted Sword for melee if you choose to be a Battlemage) – Armor: Pyric Cultist Robes (Later Damarose\u2019s Set) – Pendant: Pendant of Infernal Oblation (Burned enemies receive more damage from you) – Rings: Adyr\u2019s Mark Ring (Increases Inferno stat), Ring of Infernal Devotion (Causes burn buildup and ignite buildup) – Is Lords of the Fallen a Soulslike game | Does Lords of the Fallen have multiplayer | Is Lords of the Fallen a sequel or reboot | Lords of the Fallen: How to summon NPCs | Lords of the Fallen: All Stats Explained<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
