Whether you’re going for a balanced approach or a full glass cannon in Devas of Creation, I’ve got you covered. I’ll be diving into stat allocations, gear choices, and everything you need to know about maximizing your damage post-Dex buff. So, let’s break down how you can hit those insane damage numbers while still maintaining some survivability.
Best Strength Build Guide
Of course, the stat allocation will first depend on your race. But I recommend that you go for the Umbrian, as you’ll naturally have a higher Dex stat, giving you a 41% crit chance and double damage. But the real question is: Should you invest more points into Dexterity, especially with gear bonuses adding up to 20 free points?
After some testing, I found that at 50 Dexterity, you’ll hit 3x damage. Pushing further, 84 Dexterity gets you 4x damage, and with the right armor, you can max out at 500 Dexterity, giving insane damage. But here’s the thing—you don’t really need 4x or 5x damage unless you’re going for a glass cannon build. Survivability is key in this game, so balancing Strength and Dexterity is important.
By the time you hit max level, you’ll have around 198 stat points to work with. For Strength, 2x and 3x damage come at lower stat costs compared to Dexterity, making it a strong choice if you want to maximize damage while still maintaining some survivability. For Dex, it’s cheaper to reach high crit rates, especially with Dex-boosting armor.
Here’s the stat allocation I recommend for the best Strength build in Devas Of Creation (Post-Dex Buff):
- Going for 100 Strength;
- Allocating any extra points to Dex
Speaking of gear, Dexterity-focused armor like Zubie is becoming more valuable since it adds 15 free points. The decision between Heavy armor or Dex armor comes down to your playstyle and whether you’re running Strength or Dex builds. If you’re running something like a Greatsword, you’ll need armor that keeps you in close range, whereas a Bow build favors Dex and distance.
Crit-focused builds are great for maximizing damage, but they come with RNG risks. You can enhance your Crit chance with potions or food, like the Crit-enhancing peanuts that boost your crit rate to 57%. There’s even a pet that increases Crit damage, so a Crit build can be fun. But remember, skill damage still matters, especially if you’re using a hybrid strength build.
What If You Want A Glass Cannon-type Strength Build?
Alright, I’ve put together the optimal setup for anyone wanting to run a full-glass cannon build like mine. The sweet spot is around 80 strength and 33 dexterity, which gives you the highest damage output for regular attacks—much more than even 100 strength alone. I created a spreadsheet comparing every possible stat combination between Strength and Dex, focusing solely on maximizing damage without adding points to other stats.
A key thing to remember: To keep your abilities balanced, you’ll need a skill like the Dagger abilities to force crits. Even with max crit chance, some abilities will never naturally crit unless you use a skill like Dagger Blink or Dagger Invisibility. You can min-max this even further with food, traits, and gear, but these are just the base numbers. Depending on your gear and traits, you may want to adjust by shifting points between dex and strength.
This build was created using the Umbral race and armor trait. You’ll be squishy, with little AoE damage, but your single-target damage will be massive. Personally, I run this build with a tanky friend. If I pull aggro, I just go invisible to drop it—it fits my playstyle, though it’s not ideal for soloing.
Balanced Or Glass-Cannon Build—Which One Do You Like Better?
Whether you decide to go for a balanced build or embrace the all-out damage of a glass cannon, it all comes down to your playstyle in Devas of Creation. With the right stat allocation, gear, and strategy, you can hit those incredible damage numbers while keeping just enough survivability to stay in the fight.
Experiment with different setups, adjust your build as you progress, and most importantly—have fun! In case you have questions or concerns, also feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
