If you are struggling to find an ideal build for the Swordsman in Halls of Torment, this guide will tell you the best way to build them, including what abilities, traits and items you should take on the Swordsman to deal the most damage in the game.
Best Swordsman build in Halls of Torment
If you need help finding a good build for the Swordsman, look no further. It can be difficult knowing how to build this melee character, but once you have the right items, you’ll be able to do significant damage. He is one of the least exciting characters you can play in Halls of Torment, but once you get a good build going he can still be pretty fun.
In terms of traits, you want to prioritise a couple of things. Since he is a melee attacker, the traits you choose are crucial to his build. You want to prioritise the following:
- Attack Speed
- Damage
- Range
- Cone Size
- If all else fails, Health Regeneration
There aren’t many abilities that you need to take on Swordsman that are important to his build, but there are some that can be an improvement. Ring Blades is a great ability you can take, as it allows you to have a ranged ability as well as being solely melee damage. It can also be consistently levelled. You can also choose Transfixion or Phantom Needles.
Some items have no contest when it comes to what you take on the Swordsman, and it can be a pretty clear choice when you are choosing the items for your Swordsman build in the Halls of Torment.
