In the game Last Epoch, a Falconer is one of the playable classes, specializing in summoning and using a powerful bird companion known as a Falcon. Falconers primarily rely on ranged attacks and abilities, typically using bows. The core of the Falconer’s playstyle involves commanding your Falcon to attack enemies and using its special abilities. Falconers often have access to skills and passives that enhance their movement speed and agility, allowing them to avoid enemy attacks.
What’s the best Falconer leveling build in Last Epoch?
While multiple builds can be effective for leveling a Falconer in Last Epoch, the “Dive Bomb Falconer” build described in the guide you provided is widely considered one of the best options due to its several advantages. The heart of the build lies in utilizing Explosive Trap and Dive Bomb in tandem to quickly demolish enemies.
Explosive Trap is your primary clearing tool. You place traps that explode, causing damage in a large area while simultaneously boosting the power of your Dive Bomb. You can follow-up Explosive Trap explosions with Dive Bomb to deliver powerful single-target damage. The increased damage from Explosive Trap makes Dive Bomb even more devastating. Lastly, Smoke Bomb can be used near bosses, they provide an additional damage boost for Dive Bomb, securing quick kills.
The build focuses on staying out of harm’s way through movement and strategic dodges. Shift skill grants increased movement speed and a stack of Silver Shroud each time you use it. Silver Shroud guarantees your next dodge, giving you brief invulnerability. While your main defense comes from dodging, Draining Arrows provides some recovery to help stay in the fight.
In Early Game you start with Puncture as your main skill, focusing on bleed/ignite effects. Decoy helps with dangerous situations, and Shift ensures fast movement. For Mid-Game and Beyond, once you unlock Explosive Trap, the build transitions to its full potential. Focus on getting enough mana regeneration to comfortably cast Explosive Trap and Dive Bomb. Falcon Strikes is also a strong addition for extra clearing if your mana allows.
