Build Overview

Hey guys, It's Lazy Exile, and here's a build guide to League Start with Lightning Spear as the main skills to clear and blast maps on the Amazon.

This will be full step-by-step written guide through the Campaign on League Start, with a good setup for Early Game. I'll try to leave room for adjustment as 0.5 will be a big patch so it's uninspiring to plan out everything.

Disclaimer

This build has been very solid for the last few patch, but many things can change prior to league start. Favorite & come back to this as I'll be updating it on league start.

Ascendacy

Amazon

Simply very good still for early game with Predatory Instinct and Critical Strike. There's a case for Deadeye being better and faster, but Amazon map more comfy on the lower budget end with Mystic Harvest + Essentia Sanguis for leech or Stalking Panther with Evasion, Deflection &Ghost Dance.

Equipment Guide

Gear Priorities

Beside what is highlighted in the equipment, pick up and use what you can.

Weapon and Rings are the most important equipment slots since they can give flat damage, and they are very effective for any attack build

Weapon Breakpoint

Better base weapon is the one with more damage. I prefer Akoyan Spear base. You can self-craft by buying a magic one with T3+ % increased phys, then craft Flat Damage with Essence of Abrasion early on. Slam Omen of Greater Ex with Greater Ex, that should be cheap enough. Because we're amazon so getting accuracy can be cheap as well.

Defensive Gear

We use Refutation so prioritize capping all resistances, then building good maximum life and ES with evasion would be ideal, but realistically, you won't have to.

How it Plays

IMPORTANT

Storm Lance have a limit of 3 (or 4 with quality), throwing new Storm Lance will replaces old one, and there's a duration on the skill so do not spam Storm Lance even when you have multiple Frenzy Charges
