Why should I play this build?

Spoiler

If you want to start playing a build from the get-go and not have to wait until mid-60’s to even start the build.

You said cheap to start, what’s the catch?

Spoiler

There’s only 4 unique items in this build that is semi-costly:

Belly of the Beast

Impresence

Taste of Hate

Watcher’s Eye(Optional, needed for min/maxing, you want the ones with cold penetration and if possible straight cold damage)

Ready to get Frosty? Yeah? Let’s get Frosty!

🦀Leveling🦀

Spoiler

Start by picking up Frost Blades and as soon as you hit level 4 pickup Ancestral Call also, to help your clear speed in the early game. You can buy Increased Critical at level 8 and Elemental Damage with Attacks at 18.

If you are on HC, I would start by going down towards Sentinel and head towards our favorite Lifey Life Wheel of Life 🇹🇲. If you are on SC you can head towards Harrier first but skipping the multi until later.

Do not forget to equip the unique jewel Fight for Survival as soon as you can, 2 of them.

Help Alira When you get to that point.

You can use any Unique weapons you seem fit until we hit level 20. At which point we equip a single Brightbeak and equip your favorite shield for that level.

You can use Mana Leech with the Frost Blades until you get leech on the tree.

Buy yourself The Oak at level 40 for the massive boost in health and life regen/stun duration.
