What This Section Solves
Players often lose power by spreading stats and upgrade materials too thin. This section turns build choice into a simple question: what problem should the build solve right now?
Build Planning Checklist
| Decision | Good rule |
|---|---|
| Survivability | Level Vigor early enough to survive mistakes |
| Weapon path | Upgrade one main weapon before experimenting widely |
| Damage stat | Meet requirements first, then support your chosen scaling |
| Casting | Budget Mind and flasks if spells are part of the plan |
| Equip load | Keep roll speed comfortable instead of wearing every heavy piece |
| Respec | Use Rennala to correct a plan, not to chase every trend |
Build Pages
| Page | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Beginner builds and weapon planning | choosing a direction and avoiding wasted upgrades |
| Flask of Wondrous Physick route | adding a build-specific flask buff |
| Boss order | checking whether the build or the route is the issue |
Next Expansion
Dedicated pages should split into Strength stagger builds, Dexterity/Bleed options, Intelligence caster progression, Faith utility, shield counters, Somber weapon routes, and DLC-ready build cleanup.
