Hulk is the ultimate tank and brawler, capable of absorbing massive amounts of damage while dishing out incredible close-quarters punishment. His intrinsic ability, 'Rage,' allows him to heal and deal increased damage, making him nearly unstoppable. He excels at drawing aggro and smashing through groups of enemies.
Recommended Build: Tank/Brawler
- Key Stats: Might (Melee Damage), Resilience (Defense), Resolve (Health, Defense).
- Skills: Invest in skills that enhance his 'Rage' intrinsic (e.g., 'Unstoppable Rage'), improve his ground slams and grabs (e.g., 'Thunderclap Mastery'), and boost his heroic abilities (e.g., 'Gamma Crush' for single-target damage, 'Thunderclap' for area control, 'Immortal Rage' for sustained invulnerability).
- Gear Perks: Seek perks that increase intrinsic gain, boost melee damage, provide defensive buffs, or apply gamma status effects. Perks that increase health regeneration or reduce incoming damage are also highly beneficial.
- Artifacts:
- Minor Artifacts: Prioritize Might, Resilience, or Resolve.
- Major Artifact: 'Ring of the Nibelung' for increased melee damage and intrinsic gain, or 'Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will' for increased critical chance and damage.
Playstyle Tips: Hulk is meant to be in the thick of the fight, absorbing damage and unleashing devastating attacks. Keep your 'Rage' meter full to maximize your damage and survivability. Use grabs to control elite enemies and 'Thunderclap' to clear groups. 'Gamma Crush' is excellent for bosses. Don't be afraid to take hits; Hulk thrives on it. He's the ideal choice for players who enjoy being an unyielding force on the battlefield.
