Albion Online is a sandbox MMO game made by Sandbox Interactive. Albion Online offers a wide-array of content. Most of the time you are required to have friends to back you up or just hunt with you. But what if you don’t want to have friends, or perhaps you just want to ride alone? This is where we come in.
Best Solo Builds – Albion Online
Riding alone in the Red/Black Zones can be treated as foolish by many, but surprisingly, a lot of AO players roam the dangerous lands alone. It may be hard compared to having a team, but it surely isn’t possible. If you want to join the ranks of these vagabonds and make a name for yourself, then check these builds out.
One-Hand Spear Build
The Spear has been a mainstay in the PVP-game for a long time. It is not only utilized in small gang-fights, but in blob fights/ZvZ fights as well. As such, this shows the versatility of the weapon and the variety of situations the players can use the said weapon.
Weapon Skill-explanation
Forest of Spears (W1)
-Efficient ability for clearing mobs.
Impaler (W5)
-Upgrade to this ability after getting enough fame points for the spear since comparing it to Forest of Spears, Impaler deals more damage and applies an AoE slow against enemies.
Deflecting Spin (W4)
-If you are already experienced in the ways of the pointy sticks, you can opt for this skill. Bear in mind that in PVP, these are usually rendered useless against experienced players as they will simply wait for your skill effect to expire.
Harpoon (W6)
-Gap-closer/ CC to pull-in far away enemies. You can use this to pull unsuspecting mobs and finish them quickly in a distance.

However, regardless of its PVP-oriented content nature, the Bloodletter is a very versatile weapon for different kinds of content.
