230 HP · Cleave · three trees

Warrior build

Last checked: 2026-10-28 · Sources and verification limits

Start a fresh Warrior with Cleave, then choose a Fury route built around Whirlwind and Bladestorm, an Arms damage route, or Protection if staying alive is your priority. These are attributed planning options; the 28 October 2026 menu recorded 230 HP and Cleave as the default opening.

Evidence checked 2026-10-28: the saved official Warrior menu is v0.122.0 (508416ff), with collection 0/54 and talents 0 of a maximum 51. The Druid talent image illustrates the shared point rules; it does not prove Warrior-specific talent names.

Fury plan: build toward Bladestorm

The Warrior class guide and the earlier public build research describe Fury/Bladestorm as an area-damage direction. Keep Cleave as the fresh-character reference, take Whirlwind when offered, and use the Fury tree’s listed prerequisites to work toward Bladestorm. This is an intended route, not a guaranteed card sequence.

  • On an early character, improve the attacks available now rather than budgeting as if the final talent were already unlocked. A capstone video can depend on permanent gear and earned points.
  • Once the Fury prerequisites are available, keep the route focused on its area-damage goal. If bosses are the problem rather than the surrounding pack, compare an Arms/Execute direction instead of adding unrelated picks.
  • If contact damage repeatedly ends the run, choose a defensive upgrade or change route before chasing an additional offensive pick. Keeping space to move is an editorial survival priority, not a measured clear-speed claim.

Arms or Protection: choose for the problem

Arms, Fury, and Protection are the three tree names recorded in the public class material. Arms/Execute is the alternative to inspect when the final enemy outlasts your area damage; Protection/Shield Slam and Titan is the defensive direction recorded in the research. Neither is established here as the highest-DPS setup.

Use the current tooltip prerequisites when allocating points. The official talent rules allow up to 51 earned points per class, with five points in a tree opening the next row and free respecs. That maximum is not a fresh character’s starting balance.

Gear and race choices

Compare the actual item tooltips against the failure in your run: survival first if you cannot reach the boss, damage support if you can survive but cannot finish. No named weapon is claimed as best in slot. The observed 0/54 collection is a menu/build snapshot, not a universal equipment cap.

For a health-oriented race choice, inspect Tauren’s health line on the dated racial table; for progression, inspect Human’s XP/gold lines. Those numbers come from a single official source, and availability depends on the original picker or an unlocked race.

Sources, version, and using this plan

The route names and spell pairings above are attributed to the public Warrior class guide and the class material collected on 28 October 2026. They are published planning examples, not an official ranking or a tested damage comparison. Exotránce’s video title calls its Warrior strong; that is the uploader’s claim, not a benchmark adopted by this guide.

Watch the public Warrior example — uploaded 2026-10-27; the game version is not established by the research record. A video upload date is not a patch number. The menu facts come from Aethus’s original game, a single official source; see the dated version record before applying an older talent route.

What does a fresh Warrior start with?

The official menu read on 2026-10-28 showed Cleave and 230 HP. This is the default menu reference; talent-based opening changes must be checked against the chosen talent.

No. The recorded Warrior menu showed 0 of 51. Earn points through progression; 51 is the maximum per class.

Sources and verification limits

Checked 2026-10-28. Two independent publishers are needed to call a claim confirmed. A menu, screenshot and script from Aethus count as one publisher. Exact menu HP, racial values and dated build identifiers are single-source observations. A video or a general game report does not independently verify every number. Missing values remain unreported; disagreements stay attributed.
