Collection of Map Builds by wat

I would like to share with you some of the builds that I use. Videos should be clearer than screenshots. They are modified towards lower stats. 3-4k stats is sufficient to clear the whole game. If you say otherwise, it just means you need more practice. Diamonds are not needed at all, neither the stats nor the speed boost.

very good!

Thanks for the advice and for letting me know how much the ult++ piece is worth I had no ideal that it was worth so much. I'll put it on the official forum over at dd dot com and see what people are will to give me for it.

Nice. The actual coding of the entire calculator is done by another great player and a close friend of mine - sniffy, so it is not "my" calculator per se. Don't worry about it though. I just feel the need to point that out.
DPS Apprentice is somewhat niche but it's a solid option.
Also an FYI, although I'm not exactly sure how active the trading scene is, a single piece of Ult++ is worth a lot (even more so if it's a good piece). I used to buy it from others when I was actively playing, so were a lot of other veteran players. It's pretty normal to trade several Ult/+ sets, weapons, accessories, event items for a single Ult++ piece. If it doesn't hold any sentimental values to you, do consider sell/trade it. Make sure you do it on official forum and trade with trustworthy people only.

Thank you for your reply, I will now be able to distinguish between the two. Your calculator is great by the way, Im currently using the online version to upgrade my supreme and ult ++ armour that I received from maraggo and my monk is progressing well. I'm even working on a dps apprentice lol. Thanks again for your reply.

I'm glad that my guide is helpful. It has been a very long time since I last played the game. But I can still answer your question. Builder armor has high default values on defense health, defense rate, defense damage and defense range (defense damage is in most cases the top priority), while DPS armor has high default values on hero health, hero damage and all 4 types of resistance. For either type of armor, the more upgrade it has the better. Armor Resistance Calculator is only for DPS armor. For builder armor, you almost always upgrade defense damage first.

[KirPicSis]

Thank you for sharing your builds and creating the many guides that helped me so much.
I do however have a question, I don't know if you were ever asked this before but I was wondering, I have collected such great armor from the shard levels and tinks lab but I'm having a hard time discovering which sets are for builders and which sets are best for dps. I use the armor resist calculator that you created, thanks for that by the way but I was wondering how do you create armor specifically for builders? How can you tell dps armor from builder sets or is there a difference? Once again thank you for all of your guides, I really appreciate it.

[KirPicSis]

I just wanted to say thank you, I have watched your videos and used your builds and I was able to beat the nmch challenges on several maps to fianlly acheive the ultimate defender title. I received help and assistance from many different players along the way when I reached out to the community for help in defeating the impossible maps like ww nmch, cd nmhc and many, many others.

so on WW I run out of time trying to build your build...first wave, 2nd wave

Wat you're a god sent. These have been so helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to make all the videos and showing your builds so that all of us can get better at the game. Mostly playing offline alone so guides like these have been invaluable
