Build:Demolisher

**Demolisher** is a Character Build in *Outward*, created by Hothgond.

## Full Build Details

- **If you don't have this armor no worry**: Any hard armor will do (White Kitsugi is just a general purpouse to enforce the damage we do with fire axe, but when dealing with Fire or Electro the Elatt Champion Set is better and Palladium armor for decay is just as awesome. Special mention for Master Khazite armor to run fast!)

- **ALWAYS wear a second weapon**: If you don't have the Butcher axe, Sunfall axe will do the trick in late game, For mid game Living-wood axe and also Jade Sword or palladium axe will do!. (All special attacks will hurt your weapon durability, so after some hard combats is recommended to change your weapon not to loose offensive power.)

- **Any hard shield will do**, but Tsar shield is THE shield as it has no durability and Gong Strike will not damage it. (and also glows in green fashion). Also Fashion Palladium shield is cool against some enemies (shield charge that makes enemies vulnerable to elemental damage? Yeah!)

- Holy mission is not a requirement but the +2 defense to ALL damages that Elatt grants to its champion is so useful.

- The build is **designed to do not allow main enemy attack us**. Almost every special attack affects enemy stability which, combined with one hand swords and axes faster speed, denies main enemy capability to strike back.

- **Recommendation:** Before combat take a discipline potion, a rage potion (or alpha jerky!) and any element rag or varnish (suiting our enemy cadence on resistances)

- Enter combat with Predator Leap and then attack normally until enemy falls. Once enemy recovers stability keep pushing with Shield strike and attack untill enemy falls again. Repeat with Low Kick, Gong Strike or Brace.

-**If you are surrounded** you can use Gong strike, Blink(2) or Slash(3) but it's an ultimate solution as it cancells your boons. For hard to tear down enemies, you can yuse blink first and then recharge your Discipline with Brace (6)

-If your life runs low just get a healing potion (7)

- On Warrior monk i have chosen  **"Master of Motion"** due to the boons on damage resistance and stability when discipline is active to be almost imposssible to tear down\*. I recommend to do so.

* Still, fire elementals and obsidian elementals and jade kitties may still tear you down.
* Also in caldera dont try to sheild against Gargoyles because wou will fall 100% of the time.

Happy hunting!

## Caldera (EDIT)

- Caldera is simply not for tanks, you will need to change your armor like for a desert journey and this means no "heavy armors" anymore. Best choice may be Master Desert Set (in general) or Barrier Set (for some enemies that only attack with elemental damage; hoping Manawall Set bug that does not allow this item to be collected from legacy chests will be fixed soon :) )

Another thing: Maize Mash is your new best friend in this region, because it gives you discipline boon and regenerates energy and health! Sure you will have it by your side.

Also note Sulphur Potion (gives more strength but makes you easier to get altered states) + Bracing Potion (60 seconds of inmunity to effects) will be a beautiful asset to our potion cages.

Habilities will be ok against most enemies but this 4 exceptions:

* **Snails** (fire and ice): this guys will kill you if you are not extremely careful, this means they will not loose stability. You will need to build your armor centered in barrier. (I recommend **Barrier Set** with barrier backpack or **Calcedony** set here)
* **Gargoyles**: Your most feared enemy. Gargoyle will make you fall 100% of the time. So you will need to attaract Medyses or Cangrethors and let them fight for you. If you have to deal with it (like in 3rd round of Calgrey arena) you will need to make use of traps in the ring, with Charge – Nerve Gas, before your combat OR use the "Blink" (2) to destabilize the gargoyle and then recharge your Discipline Buff with Bracer (6). Once the gargoyle is destabilized we may try to tear it down by overwhelming it.
* **Big demons**: Charge yourself Bracing Potion, get a **calcedony axe**, Ice Varnish, and put on any resistance to fire armor you got. and also Warm Potion. And good luck!
* **Ancient ones**: If you get all the buffs using potions this guys will fall relatively easy, be sure to bring with you Bolt Varnish and Mist Potion.

Good luck!
