Zoo Companion Huntress - League Starter

This build is designed to get you from the start of a fresh league all the way through to mapping. It's more of a guideline of how to get there rather than an exact blueprint. Enjoy.

Pre-Requisites

Absolutely none, this can be played right from the very start of a league.

Overview

• You start the Campaign with set skills and items so use those until you start to drop Skill Gems and then you can look to move onto the Act 1 Variant.
• Be sure to check the Vendor once you get to Town in case you can afford anything before setting out.

Pre-Requisites

Reached Level 9.

Overview

• Companions don't become available to us until we unlock our first Ascension Nodes in Act 2 so we will begin by levelling with Twister + Whirling Assault along with support from Entangle and Cull The Weak.
• Try stack as much Lightning Damage To Attacks as you can on your Weapon, Rings and Gloves and if you get the opportunity to gain access to a socketing Spear be sure to put a Lesser Storm Rune in it.
• This greatly increases the clear speed of the run and grants access to Shock related damage modifiers and the user of Herald of Thunder.
• Keep an eye out for Stoic Sceptre and any other Low Level Sceptre so that you can equip them in both Weapon Set 1 and Weapon Set 2 once you get your Wild Protector in Act 2.

Pre-Requisites

• Reached approximately Level 15.
• Reached Act 2.

Overview

• For the first half of Act 2 we are still levelling as before but after we complete the Trial of Sekemas to unlock our first 2x Ascension Nodes we are then able to specialise into Wild Protector.
• At this point we want to equip a Stoic Sceptre in our Weapon Set 1 Offhand and any other low level Sceptre in our Weapon Set 2 Offhand which allows us access to 100+ Spirit so we can now take Wind Dancer for extra Defence.
• We start to specialise into Companion Nodes after this to assist your bear but most importantly we rush towards Inspiring Ally so that all Damage Boosts to Companions also apply to you.
• We are not deep enough into the game to solely rely on our Companions for damage yet so having a hybrid approach seems sensible throughout the campaign, slowly specialising more into Companions as time goes on.

Pre-Requisites

• Reached approximately Level 31.
• Reached Act 3.
• Unlocked 2x Ascension Points from Trial of Sekemas.

Overview

• From the start of Act 3 we can start to drop Level 9 Skill Gems which is required to gain access to Tame Beast.
• We look to equip a Sceptre in our off hand as soon as we gain access to Tame Beast and capture a new Companion so that we have enough Spirit to have it permanently with us.
• We look to take the Key Passive Trusted Kinship at this point as this will allow us to have 2x Tame Beast by our side so long as we have enough Spirit to support it.
• Since we will unlock our 2nd Set of 2x Ascension Nodes not too far into Act 3 we will look to complete the Chaos Trials and specialise into The Natural Order allowing us to capture a Unique Boss Companion. It seems likely that going back and capturing Silverfist at this point is probably a sensible idea.
• Now that we have the start of our Zoo, Act 3 and Act 4 should hopefully be relatively trivial.

Pre-Requisites

• Reached approximately Level 45
• Reached Act 4
• Unlocked 4x Ascension Points from Trial of Sekemas and Chaos Trials
• 74 Intelligence (minimum)
• 74 Dexterity (minimum)

Overview

• From the start of Act 4 you should by now have your Wild Protector and 2x Tame Beast Companions (Recommended Quadrilla and Mighty Silverfist).
• From this point onwards we look to shift our focus over to Companion Damage and for us to go into a more Support Role.
• Keep an eye out for Sceptres that would be strong for Minion Builds and any other Minion related gear.
• At this point we will look to phase out Twister entirely and change to Ball Lightning + Lightning Warp so that we can generate Shocked Ground on demand.
• You will want to have 74 Intelligence and 74 Dexterity so that you can equip Level 11 Tame Beast Companions and the Minimum Ranked Lightning Warp (Level 7) and Ball Lightning (Level 11) skills you can so that they cost the least Mana possible.
• You basically turn into a Shock Inducing Machine whilst your Companions do all the hard work!

• This variant will be updated in full ASAP.

Pre-Requisites

• Reach approximately Level 55.
• Reached the Interlude Acts.

Overview

• At this point we are mostly just looking to get to the start of the Endgame Cycle and start looking to get hold of a Sylvan's Effigy since this unlocks the ability for us to have Unlimited Companions so long as we have the Spirit for it and they are all of a Different Type. This would also allow us to remove Trusted Kinship as we have bypassed it's benefit at this point.
• Once we have a Sylvan's Effigy we gain access to the Alpha Wolf and Wolf Pack so our Zoo is well under way.
• We can look to go into Companions as our primary damage at this point and we can play as Support to them so we will look to bolster our Defences and Support Capabilities where we can.
• We will likely still be needed to do damage until we have the Sylvan's Effigy so if you don't get one of these before the end of the Campaign, continue with the hybrid approach.
