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.

DAY 1 Update: pending

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.

Leveling Regex

Use the following regex to streamline your search for key equipment:

What this regex highlight? (Use the regex to streamline your search for key equipments)

Movement Speed: Boots with increased movement speed is very important for campaign
Spear: Any weapon with Flat Damage is a buy early game
Gloves: Any gloves with Flat Damage is also a buy early game
Increased Rarity: Optional, but if rarity comes with an items, it can provide lucky drop early game

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
