Unchained/Builds


 * }

General Playstyle
As a range based utility career, Unchained should always put Special killing as your first priority if your weapon set allows. Then depends on your choice of range weapon, focus

on Elites or Horde Mobs until you reach a point where you need to vent, or when you want to switch melee weapon. Even with some builds that are designed to boost your melee damage, your range weapons are still better against high-density enemies. When there is a Boss on the field, clean Horde Mobs and Specials, then help your team deal with the Boss.

Recommended Melee Weapon Choice
Depends on your build, Battle Wizard should choose different melee weapons for different purposes.

Conflagration Staff build

Description:

These builds are meant for casting focus playstyle.

With these builds, you should prioritize killing high density Horde Mobs with your staff. Use your Temporary Health to vent to keep casting and keeping rotating yourself to a safer place. Use your melee weapon to generate Temporary Health when you have no health to vent. Or clean up some left alone armoured units. So choose melee weapons that have high damage against Armoured units. Most of the time you want to save your career skill to prevent exploding, so it is not a very reliable option for Temporary Health generation and save it for emergency.

With Beam Staff build, you can two shot-bodyshot all Skaven/Chaos specials with instant snipe attack. The blast attack can kill Skaven Horde Mobs in one shot, Chaos/Beastman in two shot.

Your level 20 talent Conduit makes your Temporary Health more valuable when venting. Combine with your level 25 talent Natural Talent, you will have much better uptime at staff casting.

Description:

These builds are meant for melee focus playstyle.

With these builds, you should prioritize at gaining high heat with your staff, and kill rest units with your melee. So choose a melee weapon with all-around ability for all types of situations. However your range weapon still performs better when you are at low heat or Horde Mobs are grouped up, so don’t hesitate to retreat a bit and switch back to staff for a while. Most of the time you want to save your career skill to prevent exploding, so it is not a very reliable option for Temporary Health generation and save it for emergency.

With Beam Staff build, you can two shot-bodyshot all Skaven/Chaos specials with instant snipe attack. The blast attack can kill Skaven Horde Mobs in one shot, Chaos/Beastman in two shot.

With Bolt Staff build, you can one shot-bodyshot almost all Elites and Specials with level3 charge attack, where Standard Bearer needs two shot and Chaos Warrior needs three. Your level1 charge attack can one shot-bodyshot Skaven/Chaos Horde Mobs and two shot Beastmen Horde Mobs.

Your level 20 talent Dissipate can help you manage heat and prevents you from exploding, especially when you are fighting multiple Elites. The level 25 talent Natural Talent can also reduce the heat generated by your passive Blood Magic, making you tankier.

Recommend to pair with melee weapons like Mace, Dagger, Flame Sword, Sword, Flaming Flail.
