Warrior builds: archetypes, skills and guide builds

The Warrior fights up close with a spear. Its four base spells are Bash, Charge, Uppercut and War Scream: a hit in front of you, a dash forward, a launching strike and a shout around you. It takes full damage in the EHP model (class factor 1.0, the best of all classes together with the Assassin), so Warrior builds can afford more damage items at the same effective HP than a Mage or a Shaman.

Fallen

Fallen plays around Uppercut and Bash combos, or leans fully into heavy melee. Its tree rewards fighting at low health (Corrupted) and adds damage abilities such as Bloodlust and Beyond Salvation. It is by far the most represented Warrior archetype in the guide builds, with many element mixes: earth, thunder, water and fire all appear.

• Usual skill points: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Defence
• Usual elements: Earth, Thunder, Water, Fire
• Stats the site's archetype profile weighs highest (used for Other picks and the Build Solver): Spell Damage (raw), Elemental Damage %, Fire Damage %, Elemental Spell Damage (raw), Earth Damage %
• Abilities the suggested tree adds to the damage panel: Bloodlust Damage, Beyond Salvation

Battle Monk

Battle Monk chains Charge, Uppercut and War Scream to build Harmony stacks, with abilities such as Flaming Uppercut, Zenith Stance and Cyclone. It is a spell-damage style centred on air and thunder; the tree and its mana-hungry cycle make Mana Regen and Spell Damage its most valued stats.

• Usual skill points: Agility, Dexterity
• Usual elements: Air, Thunder
• Stats the site's archetype profile weighs highest (used for Other picks and the Build Solver): Spell Damage %, Mana Regen, Air Damage %, Intelligence, Defence
• Abilities the suggested tree adds to the damage panel: Flaming Uppercut, Zenith Stance, Cyclone

Paladin

Paladin is the tank and support archetype (Guardian), but it can also deal damage through its Ascendancy and Convergence styles. Counter, Shield Strike and Buried Light come from its tree. Health Regen, Defence and Intelligence weigh a lot here, because a Paladin's job is often to stay alive in front of the team.

• Usual skill points: Strength, Intelligence, Defence, Agility
• Usual elements: Fire, Water, Air
• Stats the site's archetype profile weighs highest (used for Other picks and the Build Solver): Health Regen %, Health Regen (raw), Spell Damage %, Intelligence, Defence
• Abilities the suggested tree adds to the damage panel: Counter, Shield Strike, Flaming Uppercut, Buried Light

Generating a Warrior build

1. Open the Build Recommender, pick Warrior, your rank and level.
2. Choose an archetype (the site suggests a tree for your ability points), or build your own tree or paste one from Wynnbuilder. The spells in the "Maximise" list come from that tree.
3. Pick what to maximise and set your effective HP minimum. Class factor 1.0 means EHP numbers aren't directly comparable with other classes.
4. Type your spell cycle if you want a sustainable build, then press Generate.
5. Compare the result with the guide builds above: open both in Wynnbuilder, or copy the result into the Build Creator to tweak it by hand.

Guide builds come from The Ultimate Build Guide (by Sugo, maintained by helmp and gardenguy555), credited to the players who made them; "Made for" lists the content the guide recommends them for. The archetype profiles are the site's own, calibrated on those builds; the recommender itself scores items from your chosen goal on your tree.
