Lootun – How to Play Solo (Build and Tips)

Solo Build Guide

That’s my take on soloing entire game. Yes- it is possible to solo game from lvl 1 to mid Endless mode.

We are choosing warrior due to synergies with shield that can help on lower lvls, but it is possible to do that with all classes. Passives on bottom

Till lvl 150 its as always- gear with best items you can get, upgrade when needed, with some items that can make your day easier:

• Preatorian Guard – Divine sword with great synergy with block chance.
• Reaver’s Shield – Adds some damage on during our journey.

Gear

After you hit lvl 150, you will want to get into gearing. Some items are easy to get, some takes more time, but your goal before raids will be:

• Preatorian Guard (sword, 5:1) – Enchant Trash.
• Reaver’s Shield (shield, 4:2)- Enchant Vunerable.
• Berserker Helmet -> Stalker’s Hood (helmet, 4:2)- Adds damage with each point of dodge, which we will want to have a lot, enchant Elusive.
• Tattered Wings (shoulders, 4:2) – Adds dodge chance, enchant Recoup.
• Pathfinders Tunic (armor, 3:3) – 10% more buff duration will be necessary for some buffs to have almost 100% uptime, enchant Defiance.
• Elegant Cuffs (bracers, 2:4) – Attack speed multiplier, enchant Guard.
• Handlers Gloves (gloves, 3:3) – More dodge, enchant Amplify.
• Ravagers Cord (belt, 3:3) – Best damage belt, enchant Butcher.
• Occult Leggins (pants, 3:3) – Even more attack speed, enchant Combo.
• Pathfinder Boots or Swift Striders (boots, 3:3) – Attack speed, enchant Sentinel.
• Charm of Aggresion (Amulet, 3:3) – Physical penetration, good synergy with shield, enchant Blessed.
• 2x Ring of Manipulation (rings, 4:2) – Double damage, enchant Circumvent for more status defence.
• Hidden Shroud (cape, 2:4) – Dodge, enchant Cleanse.
• Orcish Charm (trinket, 3:3) – Ele defence, enchant Overhelm.

As for stats you want to have on all items that are able to:

• Crit Rate.
• Crit Damage.
• Attack Speed.
• Health Points.
• Evasion Rating.

Additionally on shield and Rings.

• Block Chance (till you have 100%).

And on Amulet and Trinket.

• All Resistances.

Gems

Cut Amber, Cut Amethyst, Ferrous Core, 3 legendary, 2 mythic and rest are Meteorites 242 Phy/2 aspd. You want have on all Legendary/Mythic gems 242 phy, 2% aspd and either dot or flat damage (depending on skill you are using).

Later you can change Meteorite for Mastery Gem from Factions and for HoTA you want both Elusive and Trash enchants (you can get through with only one of these, so no need for log farm)

If it comes to Nemesis upgrades, Attack speed and All Resistances are top priority, then Health and Evasion ratin as secondary and other stats are pretty much equal.

1.0 added some fun additions, I will add these slots on end of guide.

Faction upgrades are big, so probably you will need to get it done before raiding, but with 1.0 changes it can be little different. On 0.9 are almost mandatory to max everything before going to raids.

Raid time! you should be able to kill at least up to Alchemist without big problems

Next big upgrade is to get Alchemist Sash from raids – it will give us some more offence, defense and free flasks down the road.

With these items you should be able to kill 7 raid bosses with maybe some problems, but there comes 1.0 that gives us more tools to get through next raid bosses.

Update 1.0

Here Starts 1.0! After you unlock Endless mode you wanna to change some things like below:

1) Four Auguments:

• Preatorian Guard
• Stalkers Hood
• Fated Revenge
• Anything for now

2) Transmute all Crit and Crit DMG into flat dmg (Fated Revenge made us unable to crit)

Depending on your progress, you will be jumping between Endless and Raids, but your goal is to change items as below (change when you get them, upgrade etc:

• Ancient Aegis (shield), with that we move all resistances to Physical.
• Shadow Steps (boots).
• Obsidian Pendant (amulet) with Divert enchant.
• 2x Emperors Fortitude (rings) with Ferocity and Strength enchants.
• (Trinket) Change enchant to Distil.
• Templar Relic, with that one you can move some Block chance from Ring into melee/physical resists.

As for auguments:

• Reaver Shield as we have changed one we are using.
• Obscure Greaves – nice synergy with Dodge chance.
• Band of Lapidary, makes us additional slot in Gems – use that to change one Amethyst, one Amber, one Ferrous Core into 3 Steel Prisms for bonus damage.

With these you should be able to kill all available bosses and go though most of Endless mode.

Passives, on start you want to change Shovking Block and Spiked Shield into Barricade and Frequent Block – untill you get that sweet 100% block.

Some Info on Roadblocks

Lvl 100 boss: need about 100k DPS and 250k Defence

Easiest way to get there is to get Mine/Forest/Farm as high as you can, Alchemist hut 2, Gemcutter’s Cabin 2, Map Room 1. Then farm divines, I would say good shield and ring can make big difference if your survi. Opal gem set gives a lot of hp on low lvls, so its recommended. Health + Armor potion.

Lvl 150 – no blocks during lvls. My gear on end, 93h playtime.

Pre-bounties/low bounties– you can farm Stalker Hood, Good weapon, Reaver shield and 2 Rings pretty fast, these helps a lot with mid lvl bounties. All other items are up to you- you can farm them now or wait till they drop in bounties.

Infamy 8 killed

Factions unlocked – Good weapon helps a lot. Changed to Inqui due to much higher dps as i have enough survi for now.

Faction 4 killed – again, weapon upgrades are key, stats out of combat shown.

1st raid – all items Paragon 7/8, about 550M dps to kill, took almost hour. But belt is worth it.

Ancient Bastion killed same for Endless 150

Heroics – just get and farm all bless/nemesis/paragon/reinforce that’s left. Should be easy from now on.

All done!

Have fun if you try it yourself!
