• 3. Explosive Arrow
• 4. Guardian Summoner
• 5. Cold Snap/Vortex Occultist
• The Sentinel and Candra Mechanics

 

 

But let's get straight to the point: which builds will send your characters skyrocketing to level 90 or even beyond? If you're doing it for winning or simply hitting those juicy reward tiers, don't worry as we have that covered. Let's roll!

 

↖ 1. Boneshatter Slayer

So how about starting with Boneshatter Slayer, which is an all time favorite? This build is extremely fast and perfect for an XP event where boss killing is secondary. The catch? You have to understand how physical damage scales. But if you are not into it, maybe just go down to a spell build. But trust us, for blasting through maps and raking in XP, this is a winner.

↖ 2. Righteous Fire

Inquisitor as well as Juggernaut make use of this classic. It's not as demanding as it used to – you can start it early and grow it nicely. Once you get Maven's boots, you're in for some explosive leveling. Also, everything you're used to from the current patch works just as well in the event.

↖ 3. Explosive Arrow

You might think that Explosive Arrow isn't the fastest, but its smooth playstyle makes up for that. In this event where death has a 50% XP penalty, something like this is amazing to have around. Ignite proliferation is so satisfying when enemies continue falling into your fiery traps one after another. Also, six linking is easy with porcupine cards.

↖ 4. Guardian Summoner

If you're a fan of Summoner builds, look no further. The Guardian Summoner feels like a power-walk in the park, obliterating everything on screen. It's efficient, effective, and especially fun if you enjoy watching your minions do the heavy lifting.

↖ 5. Cold Snap/Vortex Occultist

Ideally, our guide to Cold Snap / Vortex Occultist is explosive. By setting Vortex on an autocast, you just chill as you move through maps with ease. It's a tanky build and it helps you avoid that nasty XP penalty.

↖ The Sentinel and Candra Mechanics

In this discussion, the mechanics of sentinel and candra will be examined in a nutshell for better understanding. There are 3 types of Sentinels (red, blue, yellow) with different flavors. It is like an uncontrolled animal that you release on the battlefield. Remember that empowerment should never be trifled with as if it were a joke.

 

The tiles, that's Candra for you. The aim is getting higher-level tiles and better rewards. Look out for the untainted paradise tile; it's a gold mine. You can make some serious rings and amulets with Candra.

 

Candra was not explored deeply in the past so this will be a revisit. But hey, that's part of the fun right? Keep in mind most of our league starter builds should serve you well in this event. So if you are an experienced player or just starting off and seeking for a challenge, Blast from the Past has something for everyone.
