Choose depending on which improves dpt more, the first tree is typically stronger due to the % of a single stat roll the nodes represent (the difference is a 3.5 chance node vs a 40 multi node, the chance node represents a little more than one max roll while the multi node represents about 1.3x of a max roll)

The main idea is getting as much crit chance/mult, str, and physical increase to pump weapon, slash, harvest, and charge damage

* Regular axes are an option if Gourdhowl is not readily obtainable, or you can run a one-handed weapon such as a [[Sword]] or [[The Sunsickle|Sunsickle]] with [[Shield of Lustre]]

No Version: This article explicitly has no version. It is likely not maintained or needed enough to be always kept up to date, and everything should be considered outdated and double-checked when used if necessary.

Player Opinion: This article contains advice from other players which may be subjective or incorrect. Consult this guide with caution.

WIP: This article is a work in progress, meaning that it is being worked on but is unfinished. You can help by editing it.

This is a general guide that covers advanced tips and endgame goals and builds.

Goals

Here's a list of things to work on (mainly lategame):

Spirit Tips

Owl

Summon Skeleton are many times used by slightly weaker owls to help keep enemies away by distracting them. Although it is recommended to use no more than 2, so that you have alternative attacks in case you are caught off guard while summoning a skeleton.

Ice Spear can be used to deliver a quick hit thanks to its low cast time.

Fireblast can be used to keep mobs at distance for a few more ticks, allowing critical time to cast a final mm or cons to heal. It also works well when paired with Ice Spear or Smite. Owls can farm groups of enemies by coupling Fireblast with a source of healing such as Consecrate, Cowl of Obscurity, or Healing Touch.

When engaging in combat alone, a Healing Touch may be used instead of a Consecrate as it provides better hpt on single targets, although it relies the caster to be reactive towards damage taken rather than proactive, which can be more dangerous.

Owls generally use Tomes as the preferred offhand slot item because of the spell crit chance and multi implicits being more useful than the block chance implicit stat of the Shields. Some owls prefer to use shields for more armor, because owls are generally have less health and armor than other spirits. The Strength requirement on shields can sometimes be a problem though.

Bear

Bear can farm groups of enemies via AoE damage sources such as Rune of Whirlwind, Shield of Lustre, or Gourdhowl together with a source of healing such as LoH, Cowl of Obscurity or Harvest Life.

Rune of Flurry may be used in pairing with a high damage axe to deal large amounts of damage in a short period of time.

If not using an axe, bears generally use Shields as the preferred offhand slot item because of its block chance implicit stat being more useful than the Spell Crit Chance and multi implicits of the Tomes.

Lynx

Rune of Flurry may be used in pairing with a high damage spear to deal large amounts of damage in a short period of time.

Lynxes generally use Gilded Shield as the preferred offhand slot item because the armor implicit stat being more useful than the Spell Crit Chance and Multi implicits of the Tomes.

Due to how often lynx can apply damage with Smokebomb, building for crit with a Cowl of Obscurity vastly increases a lynx's durability.

List of Builds

Most builds are designed around a certain spirit and a level 20 character. Before level 20, different stats might be more important to kill mobs and level up as fast as possible so players can start working on getting the strongest endgame gear. It's probably best to focus on reaching level 20 before specializing your build.
