While stuck in queue I thought I'd post some builds for newcomers who aren't sure how to build their characters.

Disclaimer: I don't have any data to back up the popularity or effectiveness of these builds, they are just what I've seen during my time playing kToS and on the forums.

Swordsman:

Two-Handed:

Swordsman -> Highlander -> Highlander -> Highlander -> Corsair/Hoplite/Peltasta -> Doppelsoeldner -> Doppelsoeldner

Swordsman -> Highlander -> Barbarian -> Barbarian -> Barbarian -> Doppelsoeldner -> Doppelsoeldner

Example Build

Stats: 3:1:1 STR:DEX:CON, Full STR, Full DEX (have not tested this but Doppel 2 has some good base damage). Feel free to mess around with the stat ratio, your character will be viable as long as you don't put points into SPR and INT.

Spear:

Swordsman -> Peltasta/Highlander -> Hoplite -> Hoplite -> Corsair -> Corsair -> Dragoon

Swordsman -> Peltasta/Highlander -> Hoplite -> Cataphract -> Cataphract -> Cataphract -> Dragoon

Example Build

Stats: 3:1 STR:CON, DEX is not needed due to Finestra's critical bonus

Archer

Archer -> Ranger -> Ranger -> Ranger -> Archer -> Falconer -> Musketeer

Example Build

Stats: 3:1 STR/CON, Full STR. Like swordsman archers should avoid INT/SPR. DEX is personal preference, Archers get a natural crit rate bonus every 4 or 5 levels and Archer 2/Rogue have crit rate buffs.

Archer -> Quarrel Shooter -> Quarrel Shooter -> Quarrel Shooter -> Archer -> Archer -> Cannoneer/Musketeer

Archer -> Quarrel Shooter -> Quarrel Shooter -> Quarrel Shooter -> Wugushi -> Wugushi -> Cannoneer/Musketeer

Archer -> Ranger -> Ranger -> Ranger -> Fletcher -> Fletcher -> Fletcher

Archer -> Archer -> Sapper -> Wugushi -> Wugushi -> Sapper -> Cannoneer/Musketeer

Archer -> Quarrel Shooter -> Quarrel Shooter -> Quarrel Shooter -> Rogue -> Rogue -> Rogue

Wizard

DPS

Wizard -> Wizard -> Wizard -> Elementalist -> Elementalist -> Elementalist -> Warlock

Example Build

Stats: 3:1 INT:CON, Full INT, Full CON, avoid STR/DEX/SPR

Wizard -> Pyromancer -> Pyromancer -> Linker -> Pyromancer -> Linker -> Featherfoot

Wizard -> Cryomancer -> Psychokino -> Elementalist -> Elementalist -> Elementalist -> Featherfoot/Warlock

Wizard -> Pyromancer -> Linker -> Linker/Pyromancer -> Sorcerer -> Sorcerer -> Featherfoot/Warlock

Support

Wizard -> Cryomancer -> Cryomancer -> Cryomancer -> Chronomancer -> Chronomancer -> Chronomancer

Example Build

Stats: Full CON, 2:1 INT:CON, 1:1 CON:INT, 1:1 CON:SPR, I really dislike SPR but I think it can be useful for support wizards and clerics.

Wizard -> Pyromancer -> Linker -> Linker -> Thaumaturge -> Thaumaturge -> Thaumaturge

Wizard -> Cryomancer -> Psychokino -> Psychokino -> Psychokino -> Cryomancer -> Cryomancer -> Cryomancer

Wizard -> Wizard -> Wizard -> Linker/Thaumaturge -> Linker/Thaumaturge -> Runecaster -> Linker/Thaumaturge

Wizard -> Pyromancer -> Linker -> Linker -> Chronomancer -> Chronomancer -> Chronomancer

Cleric

Cleric -> Cleric -> Dievdirbys -> Dievdirbys -> Dievdirbys -> any class -> Plague Doctor

Cleric -> Cleric -> Cleric/Dievdirbys -> Paladin -> Paladin -> Paladin -> Pardoner (Barrier support/Barrier scrolls)

Physical DPS

Cleric -> Priest -> Priest -> Priest -> Monk -> Monk -> Monk

Example Build

Cleric -> Cleric -> Dievdirbys -> Dievdirbys -> Monk -> Monk -> Monk

Cleric -> Krivis -> Cleric -> Sadhu -> Sadhu -> Druid -> Druid/Plague Doctor

Many of these builds have missing points left over so feel free to pick whatever skills you want, I tried to select the most important skills for each build. Stats are quite flexible for each class, I personally like having high CON so take less CON if you feel comfortable without it. 3:1 is simply a guideline, you can go 4/5/6:1 or even no CON if you want. Again this is not a comprehensive list of builds, just ones that I have seen in game and on the forums. Good luck! (Still stuck in queue)
