Build Overview

This is a build guide for progressing through campaign. See the endgame version here (TBD).

This is one of the best levelling builds for Huntress. I've completed campaign in 3:43 with this build.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Shatter & Blow Up Packs
  • Great Single Target
  • VERY Squishy

Build Variants

This is the setup for Act 1. It can be a struggle until level 6, but it's not too bad from there.

How it Plays

Clearing Monsters:

Use Whirling Slash 2-3 times before Twister. When you get Ice-Tipped Arrows, cast it before Twister. You can also use Barrage to clear big packs.

Single Target:

Same as clear, but use War Banner, which gives 25% more attack damage, and increased attack speed.

You'll need to use Parry + Fangs of Frost on bosses to get Chilled Ground. When you get Ice-Tipped Arrows and Frost Nexus on Twister you can stop using Parry and Fangs of Frost.


How it Works

Ascendancy:

Go for Predatory Instinct on Amazon.
