Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon Best Builds

In Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, there is a lot of room for buildcrafting. With hundreds of weapons, spells, armor, and accessories to pick from, the game offers an incredible customization experience like no other First Person Open World RPG. So, players might be wondering: Which are the most broken builds in the game?

This list will help them pick between the most ridiculously overpowered archetypes and builds that they can pick relatively early, to maximize their damage output, survivability, stealth, and magic damage. These classes are ridiculously strong, and most importantly, fun to play.

1

Archer

Extreme Damage Output And Rapid Shots

• Pros: Greatest Damage Output and Ranged Combat
• Cons: Requires Lots Of Arrows

The Archer is a simple yet effective build that will take players a long mile, and as so happens to be, it has the highest damage output of all other builds. Deadly at mid and long range, and able to escape certain death during close combat encounters, the Archer excels at taking down opponents even before they know what’s going on. To arrange this build, players should maximize Dexterity and Perception as they level up, and Strength as a third attribute. Any bow with this build will be causing extreme damage, but if players want to get maximum damage output, Cascade Deluge and Power Bow are the best options.

The ideal set for this build is a combination of the Hatchling Mask, the Hunting Jacket (Which decreases stamina cost of bows by 15%), the Archer Quicken gloves (Increase draw speed by 10%), the Hunting Trousers (Decrease stamina cost of dash while a bow is equipped by 5), and the Leather Boots of Roots (Pin down opponents hit by an attack, immobilizing them for 5 seconds). Apply the Archer Ring (15% Bow Damage increase), the Marksman Treasure (Increased ranged critical chance by 25%), and the Hunter’s Amulet (Increases Weakspot damage by 20%), to create an even stronger synergy. The players should also pick most of the Bows perks, and then max Quickened Strikes and Tools of Trade from the Attack speed section of Dexterity. From Perception, pick Extra Lucky, Critical Cascade, and Go For The Eyes. If there are some remaining points, max out Movement from the Dexterity section as well.

2

Spell Blade

Powerful Spells At The Cost Of Defense

• Pros: Highest Damage output of all spellcasters, can switch to melee
• Cons: Squishy, vulnerable when surrounded

The Spellblade combines Spirituality, Endurance, and a little bit of Dexterity to create a hybrid build that can use spells and shortswords to deal tons of damage. This specialized build requires players to find magic blades such as the Tidepiercer, or the Sunfire Shortsword, which can emit waves of magic energy with their power attacks. It also requires lots of Spell Damage, Spell Critical, and Mana Regeneration. Players should maximize the Spirituality sections for Combat and General Buffs.

Make sure to take some perks in Movement and Attack Speed (Dexterity) to give a little bit of mobility to the mix and grant players the chance to wield their blades with precision. Some blades might require a little bit of Strength to be equipped, but magic blades will mostly ask for Dexterity and Spirituality as main stats. For sets, players should go with the Waning Moon Set to begin, then pick two Rings of Protection to augment their armor, and the Horned Warden’s Amulet to increase Spell Power, magical critical chance, and Maximum mana. For spells, players should grab Merlin’s Wrath, and Scorching Pathway, as they are fast, precise and deadly.

Battlemage

Avalon’s Wand And Sword Techiques Are Broken

• Pros: Versatile, uses wands, cubes, and blades
• Cons: Spells are weaker, and costly

A similar build to the Spellblade, but instead of using spells, this archetype uses a combination of Soul Cubes that charge with elemental damage, provided by magic blades, and certain wands with defensive properties like the Hexbounce Wand (found in the Lake of Blood Dungeon), to deflect opponents attack and cause powerful AoE effects that will crush enemies in an instant. Make sure to prioritize Spirituality, Strength, and Dexterity, to equip a wide array of blades and armor sets.

The Battlemage Set is a good way to start this build, then players can switch to Perceval’s Set and Blades found in the Corrupted Temple in Cuanacht (act 2). For perks, players should prioritize Wands & Cubes to maximize these accessories’ effects, and maximize One Handed from Strength, to gain access to the best dual-wielding perks (which also synergize with wand and blade equipped). Switching from one-handed blades with Soul Cubes like the Reaper’s Shroud, which charge either with damage or killing opponents, can grant this build tremendous utility, especially during tough fights. For rings, pick the Swordsman Amulet,, which increases all damage output by 25% when dual wielding, and the Mana Ring for a boost in the total mana pool. Good amulets to have include the All-Mother’s Protection, which grants extra health and incoming damage reduction when under 10% HP.

Assassin

Sneak, And One Shot Everything (Except Some Bosses)

• Pros: Sneaky and can OHKO almost anything
• Cons: Squishy, loses its main advantage in boss battles

With an extreme focus on Stealth and Mobility, the Assassin can cut any enemy from the shadows, either by throwing knives or slicing their throats with daggers. With enhanced sneak attack damage, and silenced steps, the Assassin can approach almost any enemy in the game and one-shot it with a precision strike. Its shortcomings though, are that it is not so versatile once surrounded by various enemies, and struggles in certain Boss Battles that cannot be sneak-cheesed.

To get this high damage output build, maximize Perception and Dexterity, then equip the Assassin’s Set and the Wolf’s Fang daggers, to maximize Sneak damage and multiply it up to 3.5x. Use the Swordsman’s Ring to increase damage output by 25%, and the Perilous Orb and Colm’s Finger Necklace to increase the critical chances. For perks, players should go full Daggers, Critical Hit, and Stealth. If there are Skill points remaining, players should also invest in One-handed and Movement to maximize combat capabilities.

5

Heavy Knight

The Optimal Tank, Survive Anything, Crush Everything

• Pros: Unstoppable, Near-Immortal
• Cons: Slow and repetitive gameplay

Using Two-Handed Weapons and with tons of Stamina and Health, the Heavy Knight crosses the battlefield unhindered by blades, arrows, or magic. No matter what enemies throw at players, using this build will secure victory for them in a battle of attrition. The Heavy Knight is an expert at delivering powerful blows that cause great damage and blocking incoming projectiles with its heavy armor. To create this build, players should focus on Endurance, Strength, and Dexterity. Getting the Lancelot set (which requires 15 Strength, 15 Endurance, and 8 Dexterity to be effective) is a great way to maximize the potential of the Heavy Knight. The Aerondigh Two-Handed Sword is a big plus, since it causes damage to increase up to 200% depending on the missing Health.

For perks, prioritize the Two Handed and General skill trees from Strength, then Stamina and Health from Endurance. If players want to get even more resilience, they should unlock the Red Death skill tree and invest in Survival, and some points in Combat to add extra damage. For rings, pick Ring of Despair (Decreases Incoming Damage by 20% and Healing by 75%), and the Oldsteel Ring (increases Stamina and Health by 3%). For the amulet, players should pick either the Amber Gris Fragment or the All Mother’s Protection Amulet.

6

Blood Knight

For Those Who Love Vicious And Bloody Combat

• Pros: Tanky, Versatile
• Cons: A Little Bit Slow

The Blood Knights use magic, sword, and shield to slay their foes, and since versatility is its second name, it maximizes leeching life with melee attacks and making its opponents bleed with Blood Magic. To get this build going, players should invest in Strength, Endurance, Spirituality, and Dexterity. Picking the Blood Transfusion spell is a must, and to pair with it, the Abartach’s Calling (Corpse Explosion) spell as well. For perks, players should maximize Shield, and Health from Endurance, Once Handed from Strength, and most of the Healing perks (except Healthy Appetite, which players should only pick once to unlock the rest of the perks).

For equipment, players should go with the Dueling Knight Set, including the Dueling Shield, and pick the Cloak of Retribution (for extra life steal) and the Cursed Blood Blade to get even more leech per attack. For rings, players should go with Bloodstone Ring (more life steal) and a ring of protection for extra armor. There’s a particularly useful amulet called ‘Annabelle’, which is a reference to the famous cursed doll from the movies, and players should pick this as it makes them regain health and perk kill.

7

Berserker

As The Name Implies, It Will Fight To The Death

• Pros: Fast, Furious, Deadly
• Cons: Weakness to ranged opponents

The master of dual wielding and regeneration, the Berserker is a monster that cannot be stopped. For perks, go with the Red Death Combat and Survival maxed out, then from Endurance, Stamina, and Health. Players should also pick all the perks for One-handed, as it also benefits those dual wielding, then go with the following mixed set: Molten Lightning (Gloves, reduce dual-wielding stamina cost by 20%), Harness of the Hollow Sun (makes opponents that hit players bleed), Knight’s Helmet (-20% stamina cost to all), Garb of the Hollow Sun (increases stamina regen per bleeding opponent), and Boots fo the Hollow Sun (Increases movement speed per stack of bleed in nearby opponents).

For weapons, pick the Inferno Blade and the Frost Blade, or the Honorary Blade and Ravencrest Executioner. The first pair of weapons increases damage output by 220% when wielded together, and one causes burn, while the other causes chill and eventually frost. The second weapon pair causes more damage when enemies are at full health, and when enemies have their stamina depleted, things that will happen at the same time when striking an opponent with a dual-wielding power attack, so the synergy between them is perfect.
