Builds in Fellowship are a composition of talents and, in some cases, gear to achieve a specific effect or style of play with a chosen hero. When playing as certain heroes, it can be beneficial to focus on enhancing them a specific way.
Build Features
Builds could have a number of possibilities, features, or options, with the main focus to specialise a hero in a certain playstyle:
- Perhaps a Tank hero can be more focused on defense, or a Healer can have talents that make their healing abilities more efficient.
- Whatever the choice, a good hero build can change the game for that player and their wider team.
- They can often mean the difference between completing a dungeon, or getting wiped by a particularly tough boss.
- Each hero has a talent tree, allowing players to customize their playstyle and create builds to suit their needs or playstyle.
- They also might want to adjust approaches based on other factors like gear.
Each hero will have their own range of options for building them to a specific need or playstyle. We've listed a few of these below, to give players an idea as to the kind of builds they can start with. Bear in mind that Gear and other factors can change the direction of a build dramatically.
