The Lightning Fury which you will be spamming for the entire game like there is no tomorrow takes ca 20 Mana on maximum level with each throw, so it will burn through your Mana reserves quite quickly.

As you can see I didn’t dedicate a single point into Energy at all, however the Javazon is an extremely Mana intensive build.

Last but not least it is necessary to mention Energy. Anything beyond that is up to your own choosing, however as you can see in the picture, I went far beyond 150 Dexterity and can honestly say I did not miss the attribute points in Vitality one bit. It is up to your own preference how you distribute the points between these two stats but you should reach at least 151 base Dexterity in order to be able to wield any type of Javelins in the game. However, your Dexterity can unfortunately provide only so much survivability, and unavoidably you have to dedicate some points into Vitality. You might want to increase your Strength a little more if you find some good unique and rare high tier armor or shield, but generally ca 150 Strength should be good enough if you don’t want to dedicate too many points.Īs for Dexterity, ideally you will want this stat as high as possible since as mentioned before, the higher your Dexterity the more damage you will deal with Javelins and the better you will be able to prevent enemy attacks from hitting you. As these two items generally determine the toughness (armor, resistances) of the character, it is best if your Javazon is able to wear some of the best items of these classes in the game. With Strength somewhere around 160 you will be able to carry the vast majority of shields in the game (up to Monarch) as well as carry most of the Exceptional and Elite Armors available. However, that is not nearly enough to carry some of the more powerful armors or shields which she might need to increase her chances in a melee fight. To be able to carry the best javelins available, the Amazon requires 127 Strength. However other stats cannot be entirely forgotten. In order to maximize her damage potential in case she has to engage in melee, as well as to increase her ability to avoid damage by increasing her defence and chance to block, the main focus of the Javazon should always be in Dexterity. In addition, she also doesn’t need to be as physically tough as other characters, since even when she has to engage in melee, she usually takes on only small groups of monsters and can rely on her Valkyrie as well as other skills to keep her out of harm’s way. Though nothing can compare to the quickness with which she takes down groups of other enemies, she is quite capable of taking down lightning immunes in a straight up fight.īeing a ranged character, the Amazon naturally depends mostly on her Dexterity to increase her lethality. By lucky coincidence, it also happens that lightning immune monsters are usually not very physically tough, e.g. Like a stinging insect, no matter how much the opponent tries to swat her away, she is always there, poking and attacking until the enemy is worn down. Thanks to her various skills, she is easily able to dodge enemy projectiles and avoid even the most powerful attacks.

Though normally a melee character’s normal attack would be too weak to engage groups of monsters with on higher difficulties (since the necessity to kill enemies as quickly as possible in order to survive forces the player to use the most powerful attacks), the Javazon elegantly avoids this problem by being nigh untouchable. However, this is where her passive skills come into play. With her most powerful skills being purely lightning based, she has no choice but to engage these enemies with normal attacks (javelin throws are a waste, save your javs for Lightning Fury instead). While other common monsters fall prey to her easily enough, lightning immune monsters become a slight problem. To balance out the character’s immense power, the Javazon suffers from one weakness. With each Javelin she can unleash deadly lightning storms that will raze entire armies to the ground, her faithful Valkyrie companion takes care of any enemies who manage to avoid the bolts that spread across the battlefield, and she has access to some of the most useful passive skills the game has to offer. Though the Javazon’s playstyle is very straightforward and she utilizes bare minimum of skills, she is one of the most powerful and tough character builds to play as well as one of the most fun ones.
