Build Overview

This is a build for speed leveling through the campaign with spears. It works best on Deadeye and Amazon, though you can play it on mercenary as well and probably also monk.

The main interaction this build utilizes is Twister combined with Ice-Tipped Arrows and Barrage. Ice-tipped arrows empowers your next 4 uses of twister, converting 100% of its physical damage to cold damage and making it drop exploding ice chunks around every mob that a twister hits. Since twister can hit the same mob once every 0.66 seconds, it can drop ice chunks multiple times from the same cast on bosses. When combined with barrage, every repeat of twister will also be empowered by ice-tipped arrows. This method has much better clear speed than using twister with Whirling Slash, since you don't need to use whirling slash at all while clearing, and since ice chunks have much better AoE than twisters on their own.

Using this setup, I was able to complete a fresh start SSF 100% campaign speedrun (all passive skills and bonuses + 1 ascendancy trial) in 5hrs and 11mins (see video). It could definitely be done even faster by a better player.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Excellent clearspeed that kills mobs multiple screens away without needing to stop moving or aim
  • Solid bossing damage
  • Freezes everything, making fights a lot safer
  • SSF friendly
  • Not a 1-button build
  • Focuses mostly on offense, not hardcore friendly
  • Spears can have a slow start if you don't know what you're doing (learn to use parry!)
  • Sometimes struggles on bosses with very large arenas and nothing to bounce twisters off of

In act 1, focus on getting as much flat damage of any type as possible on your gloves, rings, and weapon. Prioritize damage over everything else.

Look for 10% movement speed on boots. Also look for life, strength, and resistances wherever possible.

For clearing, using whirling slash and twister.

For bossing, use parry + disengage to generate a frenzy charge, then throw an explosive spear to create burning ground under the boss. Use whirling slash 3 times on top of the burning ground and then use twisters for maximum damage.

Use pounce and disengage for movement.
