Recommended builds for the Trial of the Ancestors League
We’d like to give you a few recommendations of what we believe to be some of the strongest league starter builds (although any build tagged as a League Starter and updated for 3.22, is a very solid choice)
Manni’s – Lightning Arrow Deadeye is powerful enough to conveniently progress through the atlas, beat the necessary endgame bosses and efficiently farm all the content needed to upgrade the build further. This bow build is an excellent League starter especially for new players. CasualDanPoe’s - Minion Army Necromancer is a cheap league starter that will enable you to farm tier 16 maps on a budget. Fast, deadly, with a lot of quality of life features. If you’d like to feel like a General of an Undead Army, then try out this league starter and you’re not going to be disappointed. GhazzyTV’s Poision Summon Raging Spirits Necromancer is going to be one of the best minion build of Trial of the Ancestors, this build excels in not only getting your maps clear but it’s an excellent boss killer. With the new Atlas bosses this build will not let you down and is described as the most OP minion build of the league. GhazzyTV’s Zoomancer Necromancer has proofed itself last League. Having your own army of minions doing all the work for you! Giving good clear speed and consistent bossing damage, the build is perfect for both beginners and veterans alike and a solid league starter choice. GhazzyTV’s Mage Skelleton Guardian With this League changes to the Guardian Ascendancy Ghazzy has turned his fan favourite Mage Skelleton build into a Guardian build. This build brings very enjoyable clear speed as well as efficient bossing to the table. A solid League Starter. TbXie’s Firestorm Inquisitor was one of the most popular builds both in league-starting and later environments in Crucible. It is one of those builds that we felt could not be missing. Firestorm is an underrated skill but can be built around in multiple ways for mapping and bossing.
TbXie’s Shockwave Totem Hierophant offers incredibly clear speed and an old overlapping style of scaling its damage to the point where it becomes an absolute powerhouse. For players who like to blast through the game on a budget and want a build that is expandable with an acceptable amount of currency and incredible returns, this is a one of a kind build. TbXie’s Explosive Arrow Ballista Champion has been one of the most popular builds for newer players for the longest of times. Especially after recent tree changes it pushed its single target boss killing capabilities up by quite a significant amount, this build is an excellent one for both new and experienced players alike. Pohx’s Righteous Fire Inquisitor been a staple of league starts and solo self-found alike. Righteous Fire has been a true Path of Exile staple since the skill gem was introduced. The concept of running through maps while hordes of monsters die around you is a true Power Fantasy. Pohx’s Righteous Fire Juggernaut version can easily hold his own. Juggernaut has a much easier time getting the defensive layers online. Also, no need for anything complex as this build is great for first timers since your main defensive layers come from Armour stacking. If your new to Righteous Fire, this version is excellent for you. Velyna’s Spectral Shield Throw Raider is the build for you if like throwing a shield around like Captain America, shattering enemies as it bounces and splinters within packs! Spectral Shield Throw scales DPS based on the armour value of your shield, meaning you don’t need to buy an expensive weapon and an excellent build as league starter. Velyna’s Herald of Agony Champion is an absolute beast for endgame bossing the build synergizes with very well as League starter till end game. It has high levels of damage and survivability gives massive sustain through Life Gain on Hit. A solid league starter with good potential for end game. Velyna’s - Storm Brand Inquisitor offers a smooth campaign experience and a very smooth investment curve throughout early maps and easily helps you farm currency for future upgrades. This build is primarily a mapping build and thrives off creating explosion chains that deletes most of the screen in a satisfying manner. This build is to be suitable for anyone, both new and returning players. PoEVault’s – Corrupting Fever Champion is a premium build that remains a powerhouse league in and league out. If you enjoy dot builds, or you want a welcome change of pace or style, then this build will be more than capable to let you enjoy smashing monsters. Very easy play style and a recommendation for new player. PoEVault’s – Ice Shot Deadeye This build is an excellent league starter and requires very little investment to start rolling over maps and bosses. Due to range and nature of Ice Shot, even content that outstrips your current character or power level can be easily approached at a distance and eliminated. A verry good, recommended bow build for this League. PoEVault’s – Boneshatter Juggernaut is not the fastest build, but it is sturdy and it smacks things with its big stick. It is one of the very few viable “true melee” builds left in the game, and Juggernaut is a natural fit for Boneshatter as Juggernaut becomes a very tanky build. If you love a sturdy melee build this is a very good league starter for you. To make your levelling experience easier, you can pick up our Quick Reference Levelling guide.
If you're thinking about getting into Path of Exile (it's free-to-play!) with this newest league, our mods are available to answer any of your questions, so please feel free to join their Discord.
We wish you an amazing league start.

Our Recommended Builds for Crucible League
We’d like to give you a few recommendations of what we believe to be some of the strongest league starter builds (although any build tagged as a League Starter and updated for 3.21 is a very solid choice)
GhazzyTV’s Poison Summon Raging Spirits Necromancer is going to be the best minion build of Crucible. This build excels in not only getting your maps clear but it’s an excellent boss killer as well.

Giving good clear speed and consistent bossing damage, the build is perfect for both beginners and veterans alike and a solid league starter choice. GhazzyTV’s Mage Skeleton Necromancer is back! With these League changes Ghazzy revived his fan favourite Mage Skeleton build. This build brings a very enjoyable clear speed as well as efficient bossing to the table. A solid League Starter. TbXie’s Cyclone Slayer is back on the table as one of the most popular builds in league-starting and later environments, and is one of those guides that we felt could not be missing. Cyclone is a popular skill and can be built around in multiple ways for mapping and bossing. TbXie’s Shockwave Totem Hierophant offers incredible clear speed and an old overlapping style of scaling its damage to the point where it becomes an absolute powerhouse. For players who like to blast through the game on a budget and want a build that is expandable with an acceptable amount of currency and incredible returns. This is a one-of-a-kind build. TbXie’s Explosive Arrow Ballista Champion has been one of the most popular builds for newer players for the longest of times. Especially after recent tree changes it pushed its single target boss killing capabilities up by quite a significant amount, this build is an excellent one for both new and experienced players alike. Pohx's Righteous Fire Inquisitor has been a staple of League starts and solo self-found alike, ever since the skill gem was introduced. The concept of running through maps while hordes of monsters die around you is a true Power Fantasy. Pohx's Righteous Fire Juggernaut version can easily hold its own. Juggernaut has a much easier time getting the defensive layers online. Also, no need for anything complex, as this build is great for first-timers since your main defensive layers come from armor stacking. If you're new to Righteous Fire, this version is excellent for you. Velyna’s Spectral Shield Throw Raider is the build for you if you like throwing a shield around like Captain America, shattering enemies as it bounces and splinters within packs! Spectral Shield Throw scales DPS based on the armor value of your shield, meaning you don’t need to buy an expensive weapon, and it's an excellent build as League Starter. Velyna’s Ice Trap Saboteur For most of PoE’s history traps have been known as a strong League Starter, not requiring expensive uniques or heavy crafting to kill bosses early, and this remains true today. If you want to Cruise through the acts into endgame quickly and easily this is the build for you. Velyna's Storm Brand Inquisitor offers a smooth campaign experience and a very smooth investment curve throughout early maps and easily helps you farm currency for future upgrades. This is primarily a mapping build and thrives on creating explosion chains that satisfyingly delete most of the screen. This build is suitable for anyone, both new and returning players. CasualDanPoe's Minion Army Necromancer is a cheap League Starter that will enable you to farm tier 16 maps on a budget. Fast, deadly, with a lot of quality of life features. If you’d like to feel like a General of an Undead Army, then try out this League Starter and you’re not going to be disappointed. Corrupting Fever Champion has been a steady choice among mapping-focused players for league start. It’s fast, relatively sturdy, and not too difficult to get going. As a bonus it can be scaled into a true late-game monster if you are willing to invest, through a transition over to Gladiator. Very easy play style and a recommendation for new players. Shield Crush Juggernaut has been popular among the “True Melee” crowd forever. It differs from most skills in that it doesn’t use your weapon to scale damage, and instead opts to scale its damage through the stats on your shield as well as hitting targets with the shield. A solid League Starter. Lacerate Gladiator can reach similar heights on significantly less gear, and with a unique style and flair that few other melee skills have. This is partially because Lacerate is not a true melee skill - in the end game, you will be able to obliterate packs nearly a full screen away. If you like a more melee-style build, be sure to check this one out! To make your leveling experience easier, you can pick up our Quick Reference Levelling guide.

The newest Path of Exile league Lake of Kalandra 3.19 is upon us and arrives today! We've updated the guides on our sister site PoE Vault to ensure that Exiles are well-prepared to discover the Lake of Kalandra while controlling their level of risk and reward.
The Lake of Kalandra Challenge League
In the Kalandra Challenge League, you'll travel to the mirrored lake that granted Kalandra her powers of duplication. The lake manifests reflections of Wraeclast itself, which emerge from its misty surface as you approach. Fight through these dangerous encounters to uncover Kalandra's mysteries and earn true power. You may recognise Kalandra from the infamous Mirror of Kalandra, Path of Exile's most valuable item.
This August expansion contains the Kalandra challenge league, improvements to the Atlas endgame, four new gems, 14 new unique items, 100+ buffed existing uniques, revamps to Harvest, Beyond and Archnemesis, a variety of balance changes and much more!
For more information, please head over to the PoE Vault League Hub
Recommended builds for the Lake of Kalandra League
We’d like to give you a few recommendations of what we believe to be some of the strongest league starter builds (although any build tagged as a League Starter and updated for 3.19 is a very solid choice)
Poison Animate Weapon Necromancer - GhazzyTV
Being an iconic Necromancer skill for over two decades, an almost forgotten build rises after the fall of last league’s top dog to contender for the spot of the best Summoner build in the game. Being a niche playstyle, this might not be for everybody, but for those who fall in love, it will have a place in their heart for the rest of their PoE career.
Absolution Necromancer - GhazzyTV
Being the strongest boss killer summoner build for multiple leagues now, the Absolution Necromancer is returning to now be crowned queen of the summoners. Less affected by the current balance changes, it is a safe bet both for league start and late game scaling. With a wide range of potential crafting options from the league mechanic, combined with the raw damage of the skill, it will see a lot of play.
Physical Golem Necromancer - GhazzyTV
Golems are still a competitive choice for beginners and veterans. The forgiving playstyle makes it an exceptional choice for new players. Golem summoner builds have been a powerhouse for a lot of leagues and this league marks no difference, even after the nerfs to the Necromancer.
Freezing Pulse Totem Hierophant - TbXie
Offering a unique playstyle, totems are for sure something to get used to. But when played to its full potential, the advantages lie at hand: staying away from enemies keeps you alive, while your totems wreck everything coming remotely close. Started as a joke build no one ever took seriously, it developed into a strong build nobody laughs about anymore.
Toxic Rain DoT Trickster - TbXie
From the ashes of the old trickster ascendancy class rises a new approach to evasion-based builds, featuring a classic and fan favourite skill. The Toxic Rain trickster combines engaging gameplay with competitive damage scaling from early to late game. Making use of the reworked ascendancy, the build takes an old approach to the modern era.
Wintertide Brand Occultist - TbXie
An old league start favorite, back once again. Wintertide Brand Cold-Dot offers solid clear, a comfortable time through the campaign and rock-solid defenses once invested some currency in it. If you're looking for a build that is relaxing to play, reasonably tanky, works on a budget and can be invested into heavily if you enjoy it, Wintertide brand Cold-Dot is for you. This build is extremely new player friendly and is a very good choice for a first build, but it suits veterans equally well.
Storm Brand Inquisitor - Velyna
Storm Brand offers a smooth campaign experience, a very smooth investment curve throughout early maps and easily helps you farm currency for future upgrades. Due to Inquisitor regen being what it is, it sports utterly unethical sustain. This build is primarily a mapping build and thrives off creating explosion chains that deletes most of the screen in a satisfying manner. This build is be suitable for anyone, both new and returning players.
Herald of Agony Champion - Velyna
Do you like Creepy Crawlies? Do you want a giant scorpion demon pet? Do you like Being tanky? From early in the campaign and all through maps, this build simply walks its way through with no worries. Do not be scared by the transition halfway through, it is smooth and unproblematic. This build is easily piloted by newer players and is be disability friendly.
Explosive Concoction Ascendant - Velyna
Have you ever been so frustrated by flasks and lack of flask sustain you quite literally wanted to throw the flask on the ground? Well now you can! This build uses its utility flasks as a damage amplifier and explodes everything on the screen. Due to its core mechanics, it sports massive flask sustain so no need to properly manage them either. The build is also reasonably tanky, if you care about that sort of thing.
Ultimate Cyclone Slayer - PoEVault
The build is back! The fan favorite Spin-to-Win build is back in action at long last. This build has been a super popular choice among new players and veterans alike and is one of those genre defining builds. If you want to hold down right mouse button as you spin across Wreaclast, leaving everything in your wake dead and/or exploded, this is the go-to build. Suitable for everyone.
Besides the above builds, we have a lot more league starters ready for you. If you still have not found a build and the above recommendations are not for you, then head over to our league start build hub
To ease the levelling experience, you can pick up our Quick Reference Levelling guide.

We wish you an amazing league start.
