Path of Exile: Legacy of Phrecia – Best Build Guides for All 19 New Ascendancies

With the arrival of Legacy of Phrecia, Path of Exile players have been given a rare and exciting opportunity to explore an entirely new set of Ascendancy classes. This unique event brings 19 fresh and powerful Ascendancies to the game, each with its own playstyle, synergies, and build possibilities. Whether you’re looking for high-speed clear builds, tanky boss killers, or off-meta creations that push the limits of what’s possible, this article has you covered.

In this article, we’ve compiled a list of some of the strongest, most popular, and most innovative builds for the new Ascendancy classes. These guides are curated based on their overall effectiveness, ease of gearing, and ability to tackle the diverse challenges of Legacy of Phrecia. We aim to provide something for every type of player—whether you’re a hardcore min-maxer or just looking for a fun and powerful build to play throughout the Event.

Each build guide includes details on Skill choices, Passive Tree setups, essential Gear, and playstyle tips. As the event progresses, we will continue refining these builds, incorporating community feedback, and updating them with new discoveries, balance changes, and gameplay optimizations. We have also added Tiers next to each available build from S - as Godly Tier, to C - meaning just solid and good build.

	Ranger Builds
S	Kinetic Blast of Clustering Whisperer Build - insanely powerful Wander build that offers unusual damage scaling via Dexterity and Mana, exclusively available during the Legacy of Phrecia. This build offers insane clear speed with built-in Fork effects, making your deadly projectiles cover the entire screen [RANGED] [ELEMENTAL] [LIFE] Budget:  Boss DPS:  Defenses: AoE:
A	Flicker Strike Wildspeaker Build - Legacy of Phrecia makes this iconic Melee Attack much more accessible and opens up new ways to scale your damage via the Dexterity Attribute that increases your Minion Damage that eventually is applied to all your Skills. The Wildspeaker class offers a new convenient way to generate Frenzy Charges constantly, making it the optimal choice for this build.  [MELEE] [ELEMENTAL] [LIFE] Budget:  Boss DPS:  Defenses: AoE:
B	Detonate Dead Poison Spellslinger Daughter of Oshabi - a very unique Poison build which uses boosted Spellslinger setups to quickly create Corpses and have them Detonated with Wand Attacks. This Trigger, just like most of its kind, offers a very smooth playstyle and solid clear speed, but unfortunately, without substantial investments, the singlet-target DPS can be low. It's still potentially very powerful and viable Starter [RANGED] [ELEMENTAL] [POISON] [LIFE] Budget:  Boss DPS:  Defenses: AoE:
	Scion Builds
	coming soon
	Shadow Builds
S	Lightning Strike Blind Prophet - presumably the most powerful build you can use for the ongoing Legacy of Phrecia Event but at the same time also one most of the players are already familiar with. This build is a standard Lightning Strike setup that utilizes the new Ascendency to massively boost the DPS by maximizing your Critical Strike Chance and Critical Damage stats [ELEMENTAL] [LIFE] [CRIT] [ATTACK] Budget:  Boss DPS:  Defenses: AoE:
A	Fishing Rod Arc Surfcaster - a generic Spell Caster setup that uses Fishing Rods to massively boost your DPS. While Fishing Rods normally don't offer any stats, the Surfcaster Ascendency greatly increases your Cast Speed and guarantees Critical Strikes on all Hits, making this a particularly interesting setup. We have built it around Arc Spell, but you can experiment with most of the Spells in the game [ELEMENTAL] [LIFE] [CRIT] [CASTER] Budget:  Boss DPS:  Defenses: AoE:
A	Summon Raging Spirit Servant of Arakaali - a very powerful Minion build that uses this unique Class to boost Chaos Damage dealt by your Minions. This setup is oriented on dealing tons of Poison DoT, enhanced by Aspect of the Spider, Envy Aura and Skincrawlers Passive - all exclusive to the Servant of Arakaali class [MINION] [CHAOS] [DOT] [LIFE] Budget:  Boss DPS:  Defenses: AoE:
B	Rolling Magma CoC Blind Prophet - a killer trigger setup that takes full advantage of the Blind Prophet’s unique Projectile Passives. With projectiles randomly shifting direction - and even returning to you - you can stack huge damage with Rolling Magma. Its projectiles can explode multiple times in the same spot, melting enemies with overlapping blasts. [ELEMENTAL] [ES] [CRIT] [TRIGGER] Budget:  Boss DPS:  Defenses: AoE:
	Templar Builds
A	Vaal Storm Call Architect of Chaos - a very powerful Caster build based on the unique Architect of Chaos Class. This class is mainly oriented on boosting the Damage and effectiveness of all Vaal Gems allowing you to define your entire build around them. This setup also stacks Maximum Life to increase the damage of your Spells via verified and popular Uniques and synergies [ELEMENTAL] [LIFE] [CRIT] [CASTER] Budget:  Boss DPS:  Defenses: AoE:
B	Animate Weapon Puppeteer - an unusual Minion build that uses Animate Weapon of Ranged Arms to create an army of spectral weapons to fight for you. While normally this skill is quite complex and clunky to use, the Puppeteer class offers a much more accessible approach, not only boosting the damage of those Minions, but simplifying the process of summoning them [MINION] [LIFE] [ELEMENTAL] [SUMMONER] Budget:  Boss DPS:  Defenses: AoE:
	Witch Builds
	coming soon
