PoE 3.21 Crucible Champion, League Starter builds

Played lightning strike for a while this league as raider and figured i might league start it again as it felt very solid. Champion is the strongest choice in my opinion for a tri ele lightning striker right now though slayer is also a option for sure. Not much new can be said about champion at this point, permanent fortify synergy with perseverance is just too good, stacking armour and evasion and turning it into damage with a free onslaught on top. League startish pob, only 2 key uniques devouring diadem and perseverance. Both can be pricy at the start but are

I've been trying to work on a Cleave melee build to use for my league start on ps4 in a couple days but I'm pretty much a complete noob and I'm not sure how bad my build is right now, I don't really like crafting in games so I was trying to do a build with some cheap uniques instead of rares as much as possible. I played a Cleave build from the forum called Hank the Tank a few years ago, hence why I'm using Cleave, however it has since been deleted and so I pulled some inspiration from it as best as I could remember.

(edited because Shattering Steel was lvl 22 from before the Gem Update in PoB to emulate the buff, Ive lowered it to lvl 21 now) I tested this build in Standard with random Gear I crafted that is realistic on League Start. It works really well and is not even considering the changes we are getting in 3.21. I played with 2x Ichimonji and cleared T16 maps. Few things to note: \- 10% chance for Impales to last an additional hit is not taken into account into the DPS in PoB. \- You count as Low Life at 55% Life increases the EHP but
