Ayusaru's 5 AoE Pikeman Build (Hracca, Revanite - YES) (7/27/26)
-
The goal of this build was to obtain 5 AoE attacks with Pikeman while having something close to the damage of my Melee Assassin Build.
Note this build is seudo 5 AoE, 2 of the abilities are Cones, one of which has a long timer.Overview: Hits rather hard for a Pikeman providing some good AoE Damage for Hardmode at 8m reach.
Content Solo:
Sher Kar - YES
Revanite Daily - YES
Hracca Daily - YES (with defense cooldowns like Shield)Pros:
Powerful Cooldown Defenses via Bounty Hunter
Good defense with Steel Body Jewelry set.Cons:
Not particularly powerful for single target damage lacking Armor Neglect and Strikethrough.
Lacking Heals.Brawler: Focusing on Pike to advance into Pikeman.

Pikeman: Grabbing the Glancing Blow and Damage Decrease for a little bonus defense, thou I would have preferred to have Bacta Ampule from Doctor just could not find 5 points only 4 and seemed fitting to place it in Defense. Although primarily using Steel Body in this build one can switch to Pikeman for a little extra AoE damage.

Assassin: Focus on getting Savagery to increase Critical Hit Damage by 15%, this coupled with Citrus Snow (Food) and Jagged Edge (Expertise) this gives the build 39% Critical Hit Damage.

Bounty Hunter: A good well rounded class of Expertise providing excellent damage increase, damage abilities, and defense abilities. This is where 2 cone AoE abilities come from, Burn and Confusion Shot.

Teras Kasi: Grabbing Master Teras Kasi for Damage Stance and want Flurry to help with survival. Teras Kasi provides the largest amount of Block Chance along with large increases to melee damage. Sweeping Kick provides the 3rd AoE ability. Although primarily using Steel Body in this build one can switch to Pikeman for a little extra AoE damage.
