V Rising Best Builds

Before we begin, here’s a quick glance at the comparison between some of the Best Builds in V Rising:

Early-Game Berserker Build 

When it comes to focusing on the Best Builds, players who are just starting might instead want a beginner-friendly build.

Therefore, this Berserker Build in V Rising will carry you throughout the early game content. It has a few basic armor pieces, a weapon selection, and 4-5 main abilities that will help you obliterate enemies even when you are a beginner.

Armor And Weapon 

For players that are absolute newbies, even the starting gear works pretty well as long as they have solid abilities lined up. As for the recommended armor, players can look into wearing the Nightstalker Armor, which will contain boots, greaves, gauntlets, and a chest piece to complete the look. 

As for items, it is highly recommended to stick to a basic Bone Ring for items, all the while equipping a traveler’s wrap to offer extra added protection for the V Rising Player. The reason players will use the most basic items is to get through the starting story content and get stronger later on. 

As for the starting weapon, players can look into equipping the Copper Axe at level 9, which will provide them with ample physical damage that they need to get through the starting bosses and enemy raids.
