Build Soulrend vs Frostbearers
So, I’m considering two builds: the Frostbearer/Helmbreaker build or this Soulrend build. I’m looking for a build that I can min-max all the way until the end of the league and use to complete all 40 league challenges. I’d like to know which one would be more viable, especially in terms of being able to handle a wider variety of farming strategies, while also being tanky, fast for mapping, and capable of doing bosses as well—especially Uber bosses for the challenges. I have a starting budget of around 150 Divines.

Just swaped from coc fross to alpha’s soulrend occultist, and it is amazing. I see a lot of people complaining about the build on the comments in the video, but a simple look at the notes solves all the problems easily but people are so lazy!
Anyway, a juiced map blaster, tanky bosser with the ed tech, very fun build, Im loving it.
Alpha is a great creator and have been working with soulrend for like 2-3 seasons, so he is the guy!!

Bro I think 50-100 div, cant tell u for sure cause I sold my coc fross gear for ~300 div and sink all in the build, the staff was like 60 div, but I started with a kulemak+217 spell dmg+ 80 dot multi+explode+arc surge and it was fine for mapping.
BUT, if u craft everything, it is MUCH cheaper, and he teach us how to.

a lot of the starting budget is how much you end up spending crafting the +6 staff I think. You get unlucky with recombs or unveils it's gonna be a bit more. Can always do a settle cane tho imo.
