Best Warrior (Melee) Build

To start this guide, let us first explain what the Melee build is good for in the first place. The melee build, often referred to as Enshrouded Warriors, if played as intended, is for those players who like to get up close and personal with their foes. In addition to this, players are also free to choose their weapons. The most popular option is the shield and sword.

The shield is a powerful tool that if timed right, can stun enemies and give you a significant advantage in battle. In conjunction with this, Melee builds more often than not, make use of heavy armor to increase the amount of damage they can take.

Important to remember! No matter which build you go for, always have some sort of ranged weapon with you. We highly recommend the Bow and Arrow.

This piece of advice stems from the fact that some enemies are best engaged from a distance. By doing this, you avoid taking unnecessary damage and you stand a chance of surviving more dangerous fights.

Skills to Acquire

Coming to the Skill Tree. If you are going for the Melee build, we recommend focusing on the Power Parry Skill that will allow you to stun your enemies more effectively. Following up on this, you may as well go ahead and acquire Merciless Attack Skill. This is a special attack that deals enormous amounts of damage per hit.

The rest of the skills you may acquire depend, for the most part, on your preferred playstyle. You are free to fine-tune your Skill Tree to best suit your needs and your play style. So make sure you read every skill and what it does. This way you will be able to optimize your character to suit you.
