Key Takeaways:

  • Understand gear rarities and the significance of each type (blue, yellow, purple, red, green).
  • Avoid corruption in monoliths until you unlock the empowered versions for better blessings and gear.
  • Don’t be afraid to respec your skills and passives to optimize your character build.
  • Utilize crafting effectively, including using glyphs, runes, and maximizing forging potential.

Crafting: The Importance of Gear Rarities

In Last Epoch, understanding the different gear rarities is crucial for optimizing your character’s progression. Blue items are magic items with two affixes, while yellow items are rare items with at least three affixes. Purple items are exalted items with three or four affixes, including a unique purple stat. Red items are unique items with special benefits, and green items are set items that provide bonuses when multiple pieces are equipped.

Monoliths: Avoiding Corruption

When progressing through monoliths, it’s important to be strategic with corruption. Avoid doing corruptions early on, as they can be a waste of time. Instead, focus on unlocking the empowered monolith versions by completing specific timelines. This will provide better blessings and gear. Don’t do corruptions until you reach the empowered monoliths to save time and maximize rewards.

Skills and Passives: Don’t Be Afraid to Respec

Don’t stress too much about skill and passive choices, as you can easily respec them. While your character’s mastery cannot be changed, skills and passives can be reskilled at any point. Experiment with different builds and optimize your character’s abilities without fear of making irreversible mistakes.

The Importance of Defense

Defense is crucial in Last Epoch, particularly when it comes to resistances and critical strike avoidance. Maximize your resistances to reduce incoming damage from various attack types. Aim for 75% resistance in each category, with a focus on physical resistance. Additionally, prioritize achieving 100% critical strike avoidance to downgrade enemy crits to regular hits, significantly improving your survivability.
