What are the best Enshrouded builds?

Most of the time, the best build is the one you feel most comfortable handling and one that fits with your playstyle. When investing in Skill Points, you should make sure that they go with your weapon. Opt for skills that provide additional damage over simply boosting primary attributes.

When it comes to equipment, focus on gear that offers valuable stats like stamina, HP regeneration, and mana. Also, don't forget to use food items to enhance your attributes.

For solo early game builds you should prioritise skills like Water Aura, Waters of Life, Double Jump, Wanderlust, and Rebound, and pick equipment such as Adventurer Helmet, Chest, and Gloves, Marksman Trousers, Boots, Medium Backpack, and Advanced Glider.

Once you start progressing through the game, you'll want to specialise in a type of combat. Here's our pick for the best Enshrouded builds depending on whether you prefer magic, melee, or ranged combat.
