How This Tool Scores Your Build
The Synergy tier in your build summary isn't cosmetic — it's a comparison between your current attribute allocation and skill tree picks against five known-good archetypes (detailed in the full Builds guide below). Two things feed the score: how closely your primary and secondary tree choices match an archetype's intended trees, and how closely your six attribute values match that archetype's target spread.
A few things worth knowing before you start allocating points. First, your Godlike origin's stat bonuses count toward your effective attributes — the tool already factors those in, so pick your Godlike before fine-tuning attributes rather than after. Second, an S-tier score means your build closely matches one of the five proven archetypes; a C-tier score isn't necessarily a bad build, it just means you're playing something that doesn't match any of the five common patterns closely — fine if that's deliberate, worth double-checking if it isn't. Third, secondary trees are optional for a reason: several strong single-tree builds exist, and forcing a secondary tree you don't need just to fill the slot usually lowers your score rather than raising it.

Attribute Allocation Strategy
You start with 8 points in each of six attributes and 32 points to spend, for a maximum of 18 in any single stat. That budget doesn't stretch far enough to max multiple attributes, which is the central tension in build planning: every point spent on one stat is a point not spent shoring up your weaknesses elsewhere. The five archetypes below resolve that tension differently — Iron Bastion pushes both Might and Constitution high because it's built to trade blows directly, while Arcane Scholar dumps almost everything into Might and Intellect because spell damage and AoE radius matter more than personal survivability when you're never in melee range. Look at which attributes your intended skill tree actually scales — Fighter leans on Might, Constitution, and Resolve; Wizard leans on Might and Intellect — and put your points where your tree already wants them, rather than spreading evenly across all six.
Godlike Origins at a Glance
Your Godlike origin adds fixed stat bonuses on top of whatever you allocate, plus a unique passive ability. Fire (Magran) grants +2 Might / +1 Resolve and a damage burst that triggers once you drop below 50% Health — better suited to builds that expect to take hits. Moon (Ondra) grants +2 Perception / +1 Resolve and passive per-second healing, the most universally useful passive for any build not already running with Giatta. Death (Berath) grants +1 Might / +2 Dexterity and stacking damage on kills, strongest for builds that clear groups quickly. Nature (Galawain) grants a balanced +1 Might / +1 Constitution / +1 Perception and a defensive armor surge — a safe pick when you don't want your Godlike choice to lock you into a specific attribute plan.

The Four Skill Trees
The four skill trees define your core playstyle: Fighter for melee combat, armor, and crowd control; Ranger for ranged attacks, stealth, and traps; Wizard for spellcasting and AoE damage through Grimoires; Cipher for soul-power hybrid abilities and crowd control. You can commit to a single tree or split points between a primary and secondary — the planner treats a secondary tree as optional rather than expected, since several of the strongest archetypes below run a single tree exclusively.

The Five Archetypes at a Glance
Five proven archetypes anchor the synergy scoring, each with a full breakdown — attributes, core skills, weapon and armor picks — on the Builds guide:
- Arcane Scholar — Wizard-focused caster leaning hard into Might and Intellect for maximum spell damage and AoE radius.
- Battle Mage — Wizard/Fighter hybrid trading some spell power for melee survivability, running a Staff-and-Grimoire loadout.
- Spirit Blade — Cipher/Fighter hybrid built around Dexterity and Perception, mixing soul powers with a Sword and Crossbow.
- Iron Bastion — pure Fighter tank stacking Might and Constitution to absorb damage in Plate armor with a Greatsword.
- Ghost Ranger — Ranger/Cipher hybrid prioritizing Dexterity and Perception for a stealth-and-burst playstyle.
