Beginner Build Principles
Low-complexity loadout ideas focused on survivability and reliable stagger—adjust to your unlocked systems.
Updated Mar 10, 2026 · 6 min read
Quick Answer
One melee path, one defensive tool, and talents that make stagger easier—not maximum crit before you know patterns.
Core loop
Melee → stagger or break → ability → disengage. Repeat until it is muscle memory.
Talents
Pick keystone nodes that shorten the loop or forgive mistakes. Spread points only after that feels stable.
Artifacts
Choose artifacts that trigger from actions you already perform every fight.
