Build Overview

Explosive Grenade is the best leveling build for Amazon and Deadeye. This build is ready by level 3 and uses Run and Gun playstyle, throw your granades on big packs and keep moving!

My video has a step by step guide on how to get your build online by level 3 and where to get all the pieces for the build.

I'm not a speed runner and I can consistently finish act 1 in under 1 hour, act 2 by 2 hour 30 and act 3 below 4 hours.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Can kill while moving
  • Online by level 3
  • Great Damage
  • Grenades keep rolling after landing, and it takes a minute before you get used to the mechanic.

Build Variants

Get your build online by level 3

It's important to follow the instructions from the video, the first three levels are super important as you get all your need for the build to come online, your goal is to obtain Two Level 1 Skill gems for Contagion and Disengage, a level 2 skill gem for Explosive Grenade a Makeshift Crossbow and a Spear .

It's possible to change Contagion for Frost Bomb, you will lose AOE clear in Red Vale but gain a bit of Boss damage. Personally I'll be starting Contagion.

Rake is optional but it's another movement ability you can use in combination with Disengage, be careful about relying too much on sprinting, it will get you stunned and killed.

Step by Step start


  1. Kill Miller
  2. Check Shop for a White two handed Mace/Quarterstaff/Crossbow sell what you don't need
  3. If you have extra money buy a White Spear
  4. Use your Level one skill gem to Create Contagion or Disengage
  5. In Clearfell: Locate the Mysterious Campsite to find an Abandoned Stash, inside the stash is an Uncut Skill Gem for either Contagion or Disengage.
  6. Kill Beira of the Rotten Pack will grant you a permanent buff of +10 Cold Resistance.
  7. In The Mud Burrow, kill the Devourer to obtain another Skill gem for Explosive Grenade, use the support gem from completing the quest to create Expedite.
  8. Back at the Clearfell Town visit the shops to buy 2-3 Identifying Scrolls and sell your uneeded items.
  9. Buy a Crossbow if you don't have one, a Spear and check the shop for movement speed boots.
  10. Kill the Witch in Grelwood for the final support gem and create Scattershot
  11. At level 10 check the shop for a good Sturdy Crossbow
  12. Before the final boss of Act 1 you should go back to town and check the shop for gear with Cold Resistance.

How it Plays

Trash Rotation

  1. Use Rake and/or Disengage for movement when Sprinting is not an options. Rake+Disengage followed by a dodge roll is the correct combo. Rake isn't needed and feel free to skip it.
  2. Throw Explosive Grenade in front of big packs, keep in mind the the grenades will keep rolling 1 or 2 meters further after landing.
  3. Use Contagion up till your reach the Cemetery, you should have the time to use this skill before your grenades will explode.
  4. Finish Elites with your Crossbow Shot

Boss Rotation

  1. Try to use Explosive Grenade when the boss isn't moving or in the path of it's movement.
  2. Use Crossbow Shot to apply Shock and dealing extra damage.

Additionally on Bosses

  1. Rapid Shot to increase Grenades' Damage
  2. Use Oil Grenade to apply Elemental Weakness on bosses


Act 2 and onward

Rapid Shot replaces your basic attack and Voltaic Grenade becomes your means to shock.
