Block build excels at using 🛡️to block incoming enemy attacks. With highly specific investments, the chance of blocking can be 100%! However, curses cannot be blocked, and block builds often lack DMG without the help of innate synergistic abilities.
Key to building:
Anything to maximize block rate - Every bit of rarity counts to reach 100%!
Some gamemodes may cap block rate (90% in Rolling Cow as of March 2025)
In such scenarios, you'd want to aim for a mix of survivability (e.g. Healing / SH)
Innate high block rate multiplier
Stat debuff on class ability
Gradual enemy HP loss
Innate high block rate multiplier
Consistent healing on class passive
