Tiny Tina's Wonderlands: Graveborn/Brr-Zerker Build Guide

AntMag.NET

This guide details the best Graveborn and Brr-Zerker Action Skill build for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, focusing on maximizing health and companion damage for powerful Action Skills.

Skill Tree - Graveborn

For the Graveborn tree, prioritize the Dire Sacrifice Action Skill, which consumes HP to amplify damage. The goal is to maximize your health pool. Companions will also be crucial for reducing Dire Sacrifice's cooldown. Start by investing points into Faithful Thralls and two points into Essence Drain. Next, focus on Dark Pact and Harvest. Then, put two points into Dark Hydras, followed by maxing out Ascension.

Skill Tree - Brr-Zerker

The Brr-Zerker tree will receive the majority of your skill points. Begin with Ancestral Frost, then proceed to Ice Breaker, The Old Ways, and a single point into Instinct. Unarmored Defense is vital for significant health gains. Follow this with Blood Frenzy to maintain survivability. Ancient Fury increases health and provides an Area Damage boost beneficial for Dire Sacrifice. Conclude by investing in Blast Chill and the capstone skill, Blood of the Fallen.

Hero Stats and Backstory

To maximize your health, prioritize Constitution first. Wisdom is also important for inflicting status effects. After maxing these two stats, allocate remaining points to Attunement to reduce your Action Skill Cooldown.

Spells

While no single spell is essential, any Hydra spells are recommended as they summon more companions, increasing overall damage. The specific type of Hydra spell is not critical.

Weapons

This build relies on Feriore guns that can spawn companions. Prioritize weapons with the Frost element. For maximum damage, seek guns that summon Pixies, as they scale with spell damage. Hydra-summoning weapons are also effective (specifically Fearnot pistols). While most effective weapons will be purple rarity, the legendary SMG Fragment Rain is a good alternative if it can summon companions when thrown. It's advisable to use a variety of weapon types to avoid running out of ammunition.

For melee weapons, a Snake Stick is recommended. It helps proc the Blast Chill skill, boosting damage via Ice Breaker. Melee attacks with the Snake Stick also spawn a Hydra companion for six seconds. Ensure the Snake Stick is Frost elemental. Having Echo on your melee weapon is beneficial, as it allows your melee strike to deal extra damage based on all damage dealt, particularly effective against bosses.

Equipment

A key piece of equipment is the Warped Paradigm. Ensure its special effect lists Spell Damage last and has the Reaver’s prefix, ideally granting three bonus points to Ascension. Rings should have Spell Damage as their primary stat to synergize with the Warped Paradigm.

The Master Rune shield is ideal due to its high capacity and bonus to Companion Damage. For Amulets, the Frenzied Wrath increases companion damage upon kills. Alternatively, the Overflow Bloodbag increases maximum health when your health is full, further boosting Dire Sacrifice damage.

Enchantments

Focus on Enchantments that trigger when your Action Skill starts or is active. Ideal boosts include Companion Damage, Dark Magic Damage, Damage Dealt, and Frost/Elemental Damage. A Graveborn-specific Enchant that boosts Dark Magic and Dark Magic Efficiency for 10 seconds is also valuable. Since your spell, ward, and melee weapon are always active, ensure the most important Enchantments are placed on them.

Playstyle

For normal enemies, Dire Sacrifice is the ideal Action Skill due to its area-of-effect capabilities. Against bosses, consider switching to Reaper of Bones. Companions are a core component of this build, working in tandem with Dire Sacrifice against regular mobs. With the various skill buffs, your high health pool will translate into significant damage output from your Action Skill.
