Strimtom's Hardcore Build Guides: Fey Edition

Hello everyone, and welcome to my next installment of the hardcore build guides series. This one is a little after the event, but as many haven't started their journey and might start over the holidays I wanted to be able to provide some fun new options that can work well for those who want to try something different!

To start, my old guides still work, so if you want battle tested builds then check the links below here:

Hardcore 8
Hardcore 9

Contained here, you will find 6 builds, split into two caterogies, one free to play for people who are just starting and one that includes paid content for those that want to play with the shiny toys they bought. The free to play builds do sometimes use some paid things that are free right now by using the code GATHERYOURPARTY2025 so make sure to use code GATHERYOURPARTY2025.

The builds contained below are as follows:

Free to play

#1. Elf 18 Rogue/2 Barbarian Dexterity Mechanic (Ranged + Trapping)
#2. Human 20 Blightcaster (Caster)
#3. Dragonborn 16 Sacred Fist/2 Monk/ 2 Favoured Soul Quarterstaff Build (Melee + Healing)

Pay to play

#1. Hardcore Critzilla - Shadarkai 16 Dragonlord/3 Bard/1 Rogue (Melee + Trapping)
#2. Aasimar 20 Dragon Disciple Hybrid (Melee + Casting + Healing)
#3. Dark Bargainer 20 Warlock (Caster)



Winter Lute Rogue

Solo Rating: 3.5/5
Description: With the changes to crossbows allowing them all to work with dexterity, it makes a free to play crossbow build actually feel good in the current environment. This character is a trap wizard, disabling every trap in the game, as well as having good trap defences as well. The crossbow is nice, starting with a great crossbow and then getting the option to swap to a light crossbow at level 8, this build is great for someone who wants to be able to stay safe and out of range while filling foes with bolts. Great for group play as well as people won't really ever turn a rogue away! The only downside is the lack of healing here, so just make sure you are leaning heavily on blood tribute and you should be ok.

Winter Lute Blight Caster

Solo Rating: 5/5
Description: Blightcaster almost feels like cheating for these types of events. Excellent single target spell damage, great sustain with death eater, and good with spells starting at level one thanks to having so many spell like abilities. Make sure you take your SLAs and spam them as often as possible and you'll soon find yourself asking why you even play other caster to level with at all. Great in a group as well, the only weakness being that the healing is bad in the early game, so go buy some potions until level 6 and then after that you won't need to worry about healing anymore.

Winter Lute Sacred Fist


Solo Rating: 5/5
Description: Sacred fist is something I have always found to be slow, but that's because I always try pure sacred fist. Multiclassing is the solution, and here we have sacred staff. Dragonborn lets us get a better starting stat total, and you really just slam it out with AoE here. Additionally the new divine healing is excellent for both keeping yourself alive and your team mates. You don't have a way to directly deal with traps, but you do get evasion and great saving throws so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Tanky, good damage, good AoE, and good healing, with lots of immunities. What more could you want?

Solo Rating: 4/5
Description: Insane area of effect with almost no limitations, this character is the absolute king/queen of area damage from melee. Chains going off, destroying everything in sight, golly it is a satisfying experience. The only draw backs are that it is a little slow until you get the dragonlord part going, and the only reliable self healing you have is second wind so you will need to get used to drinking potions or running a hireling, but for the confident player who really knows the game this is an easy and safe pick for a fast clear as it decimates the motes when they spawn.

Winter Lute Dragon Disciple

Solo Rating: 5/5
Description: This character does it all; it is a melee, it has AoE spells, it has healing, it has almost every buff you could ask for, and it is also a really fast and mobile character. And it's tanky! Dragon Disciple may not have become the be all end all meta endgame threat, but for low power areas like levelling and low reapers it is a monster. Self/group healing, and really strong damage even at level 1, this is an easy pick for anyone who owns it. It takes some time to get used to building ki but once you get it, you really get it.

Winter Lute Dark Bargainer

Solo Rating: 4/5
Description: Warlock is really good for solo, we all know this, but the main thing holding this character back is just that it is a little squishy. That being said, being able to play warlock which is infinite blasting magic damage while also being able to ignore all immunities as a dark bargainer with a slow from web touched wretch is a really really easy way to nullify almost any enemy you come across. As a recent levelling from the school of dark bargainer, I can tell you this will be a breeze; as long as you don't get 1-tapped by a trap!

Thanks for the build guides, Strim!

The Sacred Fist build looks sweet! That said, it looks like you have the Sacred Fist taking IC: Piercing rather than Bludgeoning in the guide!

"The crossbow is nice, starting with a great crossbow and then getting the option to swap to a light crossbow at level 8" - Light or Light Repeating? Doesn't make sense going light unless you throw some Inquisitor in 🤔

For Blightcaster, I'd add a warning that it's pretty weak until you actually get to level 6 for the temp HP and AOE spells, after that it's a breeze, yeah.

Just wondering on the following

you have mentioned that

Dragonborn 16 Sacred Fist/2 Monk/ 2 Favoured Soul Quarterstaff Build (Melee + Healing)

is free to play, but at level 4 you have got

4Sacred Fist(4)Alter Dark Gift: Echoing Soul

How can this be considered free to play, when you need access to the latest expansion which costs money?

Also you have taken 2 levels in Favoured soul, but than decided to put 9 points in Radiant Servant for

Core2 Cure Moderate Wounds

Surely the better option is restructure your leveling classes, than put 8 points into Beacon of hope for the close wound SLA
and than move some feats around to take metamagics to increase your healing capabilities.

I'm still not really convinced on the sacred fist, i believe its similar to the dark apostate it's trying to do too much rather than focusing
on a particular type of play. I believe the better tree's are most focused and than if you want to make a hybrid character you enhance
your build by taking multiple focused trees.

I do like the idea of the Archetypes, unfortunately the ones i have played. I have been quite disappointed in.

I am pretty sure if you watch the video, he states that if you happen to have access to it, this is what he recommends to take (for the dark gift). But it is not needed for the build at all.

was gonna comment this but yeah, just swap that to Bludgeoning (in case someone didnt know) and you should be good. Also, do yourself a favor and get an Elemental Bloom with the Fey tag. Its a massive quality of life and survivability bump, its crazy

Thats just for Divine Healing, the core is just since you're here and have extra points. If you dont like the core, swap that one ap for something else. I'm playing this build right now and the Divine Healing feels really nice to just passively heal so you don't have to stop and scramble to heal while fighting.

Thanks for the guides!

I am just starting the Critzilla build for the Symphony of Fey event with the (hardcore) Winter Lutes.

At level 4 ... suppose to take the feat: Enduring Souls ?

What is a good alternative feat for level 4?

I did (just before starting Winter Lute character) obtain Chill of Ravenloft expansion, however
it appears that you have to complete the heroic saga to be able to take the Dark Gift.
Which are 13 level 8 quests ... and I am just level 3 ... and looking (slightly) ahead to level 4 feats.

Would appreciate any suggestions and/or information. Thanks.

I have yet to play a SF, but wonder why I never thought of doing it as a stickfighter lol. Never played a stick paladin I guess. Is divine healing good or just a tiny bit of healing over time? I remember trying it out a few years ago and it was super crap, and thought the recent change made it heal even less, or use less of your heal skill or something.

I would personally swap it for a metamagic feat, i would also maybe swap 1 or 2 other feats out, for further metamagics.

One of his biggest errors, is he hasn't taken Quicken, which you will need if you stick to his build and put points into radiant savant. Now
if you swap radiant savant with beacon of hope, than quicken can be dropped and you can pick up 2 metamagics that will
increase your healing.

I hope you have fun with the build :)

You just don't get to take anything there - is an additional if you have that pack.

The feat slot shows up at level 4 in the builder, as that is the earliest that you can take the Dark Gift. Take it whenever you are able.

The question that I have is that if the Feat Enduring Souls is from Lamordia, and the quest saga is level 8 to complete it and get it, how can you add it at level 4?
