Are you tired of using the same old builds in your gameplay? Look no further, as I present to you the Soulstone Survivors: Zero’s Build Compendium. This comprehensive list features high-dps builds that will allow you to experiment and push the limits of your gameplay. Let’s see what is possible with these game-breaking builds.
Powerful Myrm, DK Slow/Disarray Build [25tril dmg]
Skill Mastery : Ice: Glacial Affinity, Ice Vortex (death knight’s ice weapon unlock)
Weapon Expert – Reach experience level 100 in a single match
Multi Cast Mastery – Caves of Dhal Zhog Curse IV
Singular Focus – Win a match with all curses up to and including tier VI enabled on The Caves of Dhal Zhog.
Surefooted – Reach experience level 90 in a single match
Banish all skill-specific upgrades, Leviathan , Block Power, Status Effects, Damage % (because we use critical damage and reach 300%+ crit chance anyway, critical damage scales us harder.)
Instead, prioritize on grabbing tag-specific upgrades such as Ice, Area, Lasting, etc.
Lock Magnetic anytime you see it, as the experience gain increase is a huge priority to make leveling significantly easier.
You should also prioritize anything related to slow, or chaining disarray. Ignore all other debuffs. Disarray are scaling us very hard, and Slow is our main damage dealer. Anything related to the two is a win condition. Definitely keep up your movement speed, dash count, crit chance, etc, but I would prioritize exp gain, slow/disarray related traits, and a bit of defense. Grabbing area nodes early is extremely helpful, or multicast (as long as they’re tagged traits such as Ice, Area, Lasting). Skill-specific traits should ALWAYS be banished along with the above. They’re a waste of a level when you can improve everything at once, rather than one, especially when running Singular Focus; When running that rune, skill-specific upgrades will only upgrade ONE of them. The exception here is to upgrade Smite’s multicast, and Glacial Affinity’s potency,duration, cast frequency.
Key Notes : Stacking Crit Chance past 100% in SoulStone Survivors gives you a mechanic called ‘ Multi Crit ‘ which allows you to strike at higher tiers of critical strikes. This will multiply your damage significantly, coupled with Multi Cast. Area is also a massive help for this build as you want your Ice Vortex to hit the entire screen, not only that, at a certain point your vortex hit relatively the entire map, plus Smite’s healing almost always hits you.
Disarray : increases all damage received by a random value between -0.5% and 2.5% per stack for 8 seconds, where damage can never be reduced below 1.
At a certain point, I was reaching 3000+ stacks of Disarray, while having over 200% crit and around 900% crit damage, it’s a LOT of damage while all the enemies are also slowed into the ground.
Key Notes : stacking Area, and damage(potency) are the way to go for Glacial Affinity, it gives upwards of 2000-3000% damage later on, just make sure you have enough cast frequency and duration for it to be up 24/7.
This is our bread and butter when it comes to survivability, we are constantly at full health due to Skill Chains (when activating an Ice Skill, have a chance to activate a Holy Skill), ontop of that, it has the same tags as our other abilities (area, lasting) which allows us to scale it very easily, the radius helps a lot since we don’t need to be anywhere near it.
If you are struggling with resources in-game, make your life a lot easier and grab the following runes:
– Efficient Extraction: 50% more resources collected (Arcane Weaver 1st rune in Skill Tree)
– Material Harvest: Whenever you collect a Major Soulstone you also gain random minerals and gems, according to the minerals available in the map you are in. (Legionnaire 2nd rune in Skill Tree)
– Amplified Power: Houndmaster’s 3rd Rune in Skill Tree, which gives you .1% damage for every 500 minor soulstones collected that run.
Good luck, and have fun.
