SSF1 is for campaign and SSF2 is starting from early maps. SSF3 is an uber strict filter. Full playthrough is here (https://youtu.be/RN3sdIvVH8A): IMPORTANT notes for beginners at melee: Always make sure your main hand accuracy is greater than your health if you have PRECISE TECHNIQUE allocated. Always set your skills to Always attack without moving. Left click the skill in the bottom right toolbar. Enable Always attack without moving. This is a physical damage based scaling. The entire skill tree scales of physical damage, so physical damage is way more important than elemental damage. Don't waste your Exalted Orbs, save at least 4 Exalted for crafting an axe later into the game. Written Campaign Walkthrough: Level 1-11 Main goal is to get 3 Orb of transmutation for Static Strike, Intimidating Cry and a Lapis Amulet for frostblink. Sell rare and magic items unidentified to get transmutation shards. Buy Spectral Throw from Nessa for 1 Wisdom Scroll. Check the vendor for movespeed boots and 3 link items. Use this regex -\w-|Runn|rint|s:.+ax Use a two linked axe and use spectral throw with chance to bleed. If you have 2 wisdom scrolls left, buy a rustic sash. After Tidal island, take quicksilver flask and volley support. If you have completed breaking the eggs quest, take snipers mark. Buy a frostblink for later. For advanced players: grab a shield and shield charge. Switch weapon set to shield for mobility and two hand axe for clear. Socket in volley support for spectral throw. Once you hit level 9, immidiately go back to town and gamble for a two handed axe. You really want a Jade chopper. After brutus take faster attacks and leap slam. After entering merveils cavern you can buy static strike (lvl 12) and initmidating cry. If you have leftover transmutates, get Lapis amulet for frostblink and precision. Get Ruthless Support for static strike. Level 12-24 At level 12 you should have a Jade Chopper with Static Strike - Ruthless - Chance to bleed. Check other links in pob After Intruders in Black, grab Herald of Ash and buy Blood Rage. Once you finish Sharp and Cruel, replace Chance to bleed with Melee Physical Damage Support. At level 24 and after Lost in Love, you can acquire Haste. Now your auras should be Haste and Herald of Ash. You can take punishment for additional damage, when the enemy is below 50% life. Level 24-60 At level 26 gamble pure armour based body armour for a 4 link. Add Close Combat and replace it later for Fortify Support. After the Fallen Grace quest, Lily will sell all skill gems to you. You need to clear the Twilight Strand in Act 6 for that. Purchase Fortify, Ambush, Trinity Support, Hatred. Replace Close combat with Fortify. Level the other 3 skill gems in your offhand (weapon set 2), IMPORTANT. Until level 61, you should be set. Upgrade your armour items and rings. Always look for the highest damage base axe to craft on. Crit Swap to one handed axe At level 61, you can use the best base for a one handed axe: Reaver Axe. You will automatically obtain a reaver axe from the Storm Blade quest reward (Act 9). This is a good point to swap from a two hand axe to a crit one hand axe setup. Check the crafting guide. The respec into ambush costs a lot of respec points. You can use gold from faustus and your respec points to change the skill tree. Most important to unspec are two handed nodes and most important nodes to spec into are all crit based nodes such as, Dismembering, Eagle Eye and Axe Damage and critical strike chance. Change your gems and drop intimidating cry for ambush. Make sure Ambush is socketed on a green socket, quality is very good on the skill. After Campaign gamble at Faustus for a 5 link chest. Order of Gem quality: Static Strike Ambush Bandits Always help alira Pantheons Soul of Lunaris (Make sure you have a freeze immune flask) Soul of Gruthkul Priority on Armour and jewellery items: Life Elemental Resistances Stats Chaos Resistances Ascendancy order 1. Impact 2. Bane of Legends 3. Brutal Fevour 4. Headsman You can switch 3 and 4, depending on if you need dps or recovery/tankiness. Attribute Issues You can keep blood rage and faster attacks support low level. Can keep elemental weakness around level 12. You can also craft 25 DEX/INT on a suffix on your gear. Crafting Section: Campaign Axe: You can gamble an axe, but I highly recommend to save gold as much as possible. If you pick up a good base with high physical damage ranges and low attack speed, you can use the vendor recipe: 1 Blacksmith Whetstone, 1 Rare Rustic Sash and 1 White Weapon. Use Orb of Augmentation and Regal Orb. Craft flat physical damage from the crafting bench (hideout). Early Reaver Axe craft: Use Orb of Scouring and Orb of Transmutation to make the item magic. Roll the magic item with Orb of Alterations until you hit T3 or T4 or T5 flat physical or %physical damage. Use Orb of Augmentation and Regal Orb. Craft flat physical or %physical damage. Red Maps Axe caft: You can unlock two important crafts in these two maps: Lair Map and Dry Sea Map. Lair Map will give you % physical damage converted to cold on gloves. Dry Sea Map will give you %physical damage craft for 4 Exalted Orbs. Pick up or gamble an Itemlevel 77 Reaver Axe. Use Alterations until T1/T2 flat phys or Deafening Essence of Contempt. Finish it by crafting %physical damage with 4 Exalted Orbs. Endgame: Pick up itemlevel 83 Reaver Axes. You will need a bunch of gold and Thaumaturgic Dust (Kingsmarch). Roll Reaver Axes with alterations until T1% phys, T1% hybrid or T1 flat (Regex: "^Emperor's|^Dictator's|^Tyrannical|^Merciless|^Flaring"). Recombine them, preferably you want flat phys with hybrid phys. Now you can craft "can have multiple crafted mods" for 2 divines and finish off with %phys for 4 exalted and attack speed with DEX/INT. Slam Exalted Orb or Elder Exalted Orb. Cluster Jewels: Buy itemlevel 50+, 8 passive skills, 12% increased Attack Damage while holding a Shield Large Cluster Jewel. Use Red lifeforce and reforge attack with harvest crafting bench until a jewel with 3 notables. The suffix notable does not matter. For prefixes, you want Prodigious Defence/Strike Leader and Feed the Fury/Fuel the Fight (1 of each). Use exalted orbs and annulment orbs If you have any questions: - Leave a message on discord: https://discord.gg/j6VZjpAuGz - Catch me on twitch.tv/alohaatft FAQ: Why switch from two handed axe to one handed axe? Ambush offers greater multipliers in endgame compared to intimidating cry. Crit multi can easily reach 700% and intimidating cry is always 200%. Ambush can only be used with a one handed weapon. Additionally, you get a free shield and can go for 65/65 block. Is Static Strike of Gathering good? Static Strike of Gathering is completely different from normal Static Strike. It is closer to Smite or Lightning strike, since it needs a lot of attack speed. Static Strike does not scale off attack speed.
