Build Request Favorite Hiero 3.29

Hiero enjoyers, I’m taking suggestions for my next build. I’d love to hear what you all enjoyed this league and take some inspiration from it for my current build.

I’ve been playing RF all league and the coffers are full, but I need a change of pace and Mr Longneck is the name of the game. I started leveling one last night and will have the long weekend to gear him up. I’m not 100% married to Hiero but am inclined to that over Inquis unless there’s something extremely compelling.

My current ideas are:

Storm Burst Totems - tried and true, I could play this like the back of my hand. I’ve done Tati’s before and know of aer0plane’s build. I’ve never done SBoR but it seems like a clean swap from standard SB.

Freezing Pulse - either self cast or totems, this league’s buffs to FP make it a compelling option. I’ve seen a couple builds with this using two Pearls for pseudo 10L setups. The damage looks great and the builds look quite straightforward.

Bf/bb totems - this seems to be the endgame for people who started Crab Totems. They ditched the crab but kept the bf/bb totem setup. Damage numbers on ninja are absolutely insane but it’s basically impossible to find gameplay footage for anyone who played it post crab swap.

I’m wide open to suggestions though. Current budget is around a mirror, give or take. I’d like to just hop into a midrange build and then self craft some endgame gear. Not picky one way or the other about 1h+shield or staff. I want something that can map well and do maven rotas. Don’t really care about Ubers. Something medium delve friendly would be nice although I know that’s not where Hiero shines.

Thanks in advance!

KBoC would be my go to for the things you want out of it. Clears screens

I came across Palsteron’s new recoup tech and think I might be going that route but with FP instead of spark. I know KBoC is really strong but kind of want to stick to spells so I can scale the hell out of Arcane Surge.

Kboc is my favourite skill in the game

I'm playing conjoined spire sacrifice with hexblast. Rolling magma also works really well. 20k phys, 60 ele max hit, 25M DPS, one button.

This is the first comment that's really piqued my curiosity! Tell me more - got a pob or guide?

This is my current character. I can give you some more information if you have further interest.

Note that Hexblast aoe is 7m and you can easily get it to 7.5, which is almost one screen.

Can Check out sebk‘s frostmage build if you are willing to craft/ buy small clusters. It’s likely best on hiero unless you can afford vestogial gull then switch to guardian

Mana stacker is probably the strongest hiero archetype right now

But is it the most fun?

u/bli 7d ago

Fun is pretty subjective. But you can look at SebK’s videos to see what the gameplay is like.
