One of the best MOBA hero shooters, Gigantic: Rampage Edition, is finally back alongside its eclectic cast of over 20 characters and all their fun builds!

Whether you’re eager to dive back into this revived game or are a total newbie, picking the right skills when you make your character builds will be key.

In this guide, we’ll give you the best builds for each character currently in Gigantic: Rampage Edition.

Best Character Builds Guide

Gameplay Promo Shot

Before we dive into each character’s build, we should go over the basics of this guide’s setup.

Every character gets to pick up to 10 upgrades as they level up. You can get up to Level 10 and you get to choose one upgrade per Level.

The only exception to this is the Clash Talent, which is a “free” extra upgrade you unlock at Level 5.

Either way, we’ll be telling you which ability upgrades to pick for each level up when making your build.

These upgrades apply to the character’s innate abilities. Abilities are generally known by what key you press to use them, so we’ll be using that terminology here as well.

Gameplay Promo Shot

Just know that when we say an upgrade is for “(Q)”, we mean the ability the character does when you press Q. For example, Aisling’s War Cry.

Also, here are some other shorthand terms we will be using:

  • Right Mouse Button = RMB
  • Left Mouse Button = LMB
  • Focus Ability = F

These are generally common knowledge, but we thought we’d clear things up ahead of time just in case.

With all that yapping done, it’s now time to dive into the nitty-gritty of the best builds for each character in Gigantic: Rampage Edition!

Venezuelan gamer cursed by being interested by most games, resulting in a ridiculous backlog he’ll never be able to conquer. Been gaming for over two decades now! Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
