Build Guides

A build is a plan for purchases and upgrades, not just a final list. These guides focus on why a choice helps and when the next purchase should change.

The item timing guide compares saving for a larger purchase with buying useful power before an imminent fight or objective. If you are behind, the dedicated guide starts with the problem preventing you from contributing and weighs affordable damage, defense and utility against the next likely engagement.

Explore item guides for individual purchase categories, or browse hero guides for a character's game plan.
