Since Enshrouded 1.0 full release has no fixed classes, you can freely mix weapons and skill paths from the reworked tree to create the most unique builds, with Mages getting the most changes. This guide will provide you with some of the best builds for solo and co-op in the game, including the most efficient team compositions.
Best Builds for Solo Play
Mages, Rangers, and Warriors are currently the most sought out builds for solo play in the game due to their ability to handle bosses, groups, and exploration while maintaining an independent approach. Here are the three best solo builds in the new, overhauled release:
| Types | Builds |
|---|---|
| Wand-Staff Battlemage | Primary stats: Intelligence (main), Spirit, Constitution. Weapons: Wand + Staff. Key skills: Blast and Cast, Wand Mastery, Mage Apprenticeship, Unity, Quick Charge, Life Essence, Life Burst, Water Aura, Blink. Playstyle: Fish for wand crits and swap to staff for the +50% Blast and Cast window, then use Entangle or totems for control, AoE spells for groups, and Mana Drain for sustain. |
| Multi-Shot Ranger | Primary stats: Dexterity (main), Endurance. Weapons: Bow + Daggers. Key skills: Marksman, Ranger, Sniper, Fatal Precision, Headhunter, Multi-Shot, Puncture, Barrage, Graceful Stride, Vitality Surge. Playstyle: Kite and headshot weak points, then use Multi-Shot for packs, Eternal arrows (Fire, Shock, Bone) for tough fights, and reposition with Blink, Updraft, or Double Jump. |
| One-Handed Warrior | Primary stats: Strength (main), Constitution. Weapons: One-handed + Shield. Key skills: Warrior’s Path, Veteran, Swift Blades, Battle Heal, Steadfast, Heavy Plates, Power Parry, Merciless Attack. Playstyle: Block and parry heavy attacks on openings, then try to land crit for Battle Heal sustain, and stay aggressive but conserve your stamina for defense. |
Best Builds for Co-op Play
When playing in co-op mode, understanding your role is more important than straight-up focus on your build. There aren’t that many options you can go with here, like in solo play, so focus on the two most effective pairings there are right now:
| Types | Builds |
|---|---|
| Melee Tank Warrior | Stats: Constitution (main), Strength. Weapons: One-handed + Shield. Key skills: Heavy Plates, Tower, Warden, Nemesis, Battle Heal, Power Parry. Role: Hold aggro, absorb damage, create safe windows for DPS. |
| Healer Support Mage | Stats: Intelligence (main), Spirit. Weapons: Staff + Wand. Key skills: Water Aura, Battle Heal, Blink, elemental support. Role: Sustain the party through Shroud encounters and long fights. |
Note that smaller groups are more effective than crowded ones, so try to stick to 2-4 players per team with the following compositions:
- 2 players: Tank + Healer, or 2x DPS.
- 3 players: Tank + Healer + DPS.
- 4 players: Tank + Healer + Melee DPS + Ranged DPS
