The sheer number of build combinations can feel overwhelming for new players. With some Fae Lord’s Blessings capable of making or breaking a run, understanding how to build your character is key to taking down King Arthur. This guide will break down the best Weapons, Spells, and Fae Lord synergies for Vigilante and Monk in SWORN and help you maximize their strengths.
The best builds in SWORN come from understanding how your Weapons and Spells interact with the Blessings you receive. Since RNG determines what you have to work with, it’s unlikely you’ll recreate the same build every time. Instead of chasing a perfect setup, focus on acquiring two key Fae Lord Blessings and build around their strengths. For example:
With that in mind, here’s a breakdown of the best builds for Vigilante and Monk in SWORN:
| Character | Weapon | Skill | Main Fae Lord | Secondary Fae Lord |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vigilante | Chakrams | Shadow Strike | Babd | Tatiana Lugh Mab Oberon Beira |
| Monk | Tome | Black Hole | Tatiana Lugh | Oberon Lugh Babd |
Success with Vigilante comes down to Shadow Strike + Babd, making it crucial to prioritize as many Babd Blessings as possible. The Chakram has an unlockable passive called Rebound Blades, granting a +50% damage increase when returning to Vigilante. Doubling down with Babd's Deadly Precision Blessing lets you boost all Backstab damage at once for devastating results.
Here are the key Blessings to prioritize when playing as Vigilante:
| Weapon | Spell | Main Fae Lord | Secondary Fae Lord |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chakrams | Shadow Strike | Babd (Spell) | Tatiana/Lugh or Mab/Oberon (Heavy Attack): Backstab into single-hit Ignite/Crit or stack-building Venom/Fury combo Babd (Light Attack + Deadly Precision) double-scaling Backstab damage. Beira (Spell regen passives) |
Monk excels at ranged combat, especially with the Tome + Black Hole combo. Unlike Vigilante, Monk isn’t as reliant on specific Fae Lords — her strength comes from the ability to attack from anywhere. To maximize her damage output, focus on heavy-hitting Blessings from Lugh and Tatiana.
Here are the key Blessings to prioritize when playing as Monk:
| Weapon | Spell | Main Fae Lord | Secondary Fae Lord |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tome | Black Hole | Tatiana/Lugh (Spell/Heavy Attack) | Babd (Heavy Attack) Oberon (Light Attack + Damage-increasing passives) Beira (Spell regen passives): If your main damage output is from Black Hole Lugh (Dash): The only Dash that has synergy with ranged characters |
