The Destroyer is a strength-based melee powerhouse. This guide avoids a pure glass-cannon approach (which dies quickly in later floors) in favor of a balanced Tank/Control build that uses:
Enchanting & Endgame
- Enchant your weapon at the Enchanter for life steal or mana steal procs.
- Use Scavenger’s Gems on armor for magic find.
- In the Shadow Vault (Mount & Blade DLC), swap 1 point into Adventurer for XP gain.
- For NG+ (New Game Plus) , respec via console mod (or carefully) to try dual-wield + max Block and Parry for meme-tier block chance (~75%).
- Berserker's Fury: Increases melee damage output and gives a chance to stun enemies.
- Rampage: Deals massive area damage and provides a temporary damage boost.
- Whirlwind: Creates a damaging aura around the player, also stunning enemies.
- Cleave: A high-damage single-target attack.
