Last Epoch Gold

Under the expectation of players and the competitive pressure from other peer games, Last Epoch finally launched the second season of the game, Tombs of the Erased, on April 17! If you have made time to experience the new season, we would like to remind you that you should not rush to create a new character and fight immediately, but should first have a deep understanding of the game update.

In order to ensure that the new season has a certain degree of playability and freshness, Last Epoch has added a lot of detailed adjustments and new content. Among them, the most closely related to your combat experience is the changes to the two mechanisms of class and boss. You need to pay special attention to class, because these changes mean that you also need to make adjustments to the builds you use.

Based on this, we will focus on class changes and provide you with some reference suggestions for choosing and crafting new builds based on the updates of this Season 2.

Season 2 Main Updates

As the first major update since the launch of Last Epoch, Season 2 is also the 1.2 patch of the game, dedicated to providing you with a better MMORPG experience through a series of new changes.

Woven Faction

Last Epoch’s mysterious game world has many factions, and you can interact with members of the faction or simply become one of them. Season 2 adds Woven Faction, which can add Woven Echoes to your Monolith of Fate to provide a deeper endgame experience.

You can interact with members of this faction by finding a Cemetery of the Erased in Echo Web, or you can enter Haven of Silk and talk to Masque to join the faction after defeating the relevant boss. After joining, completing Woven Echoes can increase the level of the faction and add points to your Weaver Tree to improve your Last Epoch endgame experience.

New Enemies And Bosses

As you explore Echo Web, you’ll encounter new enemy types, such as Champions, and new weaver mini-bosses. Champions are large, powerful, rare monsters that can be identified by the red glow they emit. They’re tough to beat, but they’ll reward you with a healthy amount of Last Epoch Gold. As for the mini-bosses, just be careful and watch them carefully.

It’s worth noting that the game’s Uber boss Aberroth has become even more powerful in Season 2! Expect to have to deal with a special Uber Aberroth encounter in addition to the regular boss fights. Given how dangerous and mysterious this boss is, you’ll want to be fully prepared to take him on.

Adjustments To Class Mechanics

There are five classes in Last Epoch: Sentinel, Rogue, Mage, Acolyte, and Primalist. In Season 2, Sentinel class has been properly enhanced. In the past, all the limitations of this class made it weaker than other classes, which was not conducive to fair play. Now the mobility and defense capabilities of Sentinel have become better, and a number of new passive skills have been added. Other class adjustments include Rogue gaining a new skill Heartseeker, and other overall class balance adjustments.

How To Adjust Builds According To The Changes?

In addition to class adjustments and new enemies, Season 2 also adds the mastery function, which allows you to switch mastery to get more builds to use and choose from, and complete upgrades more quickly through these builds in the new season.

Primalist

The best way to quickly upgrade as a primitive warrior in Season 2 is to use Druid. This method allows you to use the transformation skill in battle, which not only performs well in damage output, but also provides you with quite strong tanking ability in Werebear form.

Mage

Playing this class lets you seamlessly blend blades and spells with Spellblade mastery, destroying enemies with Shatter Strike, and then switch back and forth between Shatter Strike and Mana Strike as your primary combat method - the former directly deals damage to enemies, while the latter continuously restores resources to continue dealing damage.

Sentinel

Season 2’s Sentinel is more powerful than ever, and you can play as a Paladin to gain resistance and Holy Aura, which increases your attack and defense bonuses, and quickly defeats enemies to earn gold and other loot.

Acolyte

The best way to experience this class is to become a Warlock to create rifts and unleash a series of Chaos Bolts. In addition, the strongest class skill Chthonic Fissure, can provide powerful continuous damage to clear enemies, while summoning Infernal Shades to melt them.

Rogue

Falconer build, built around Falcon companion, can help Rogue easily clear obstacles, and the melee leech affix on the gear also makes this build easy to upgrade while having excellent endurance, as long as you invest a little in health and physical resistance.

Endgame Builds

The above are the leveling builds craft ideas we provide for you based on the changes in class mechanics. When you enter Last Epoch endgame stage, due to the further increase in game difficulty, you need to further adjust your builds usage strategy. For this reason, we recommend you to use the following builds first:

• Heartseeker Marksman
• Judgement Paladin
• Warpath Void Knight
• Tornado Shaman
• Stygian Coal Lich
• Umbral Blades Falconer
• Frostbite Frost Claw Sorcerer

If the above suggestions we provided are inspiring to you, then log in to your Last Epoch and try it out in Season 2!

Although it was born later and cannot match Diablo 4 or POE 2 in terms of maturity and player base, this does not mean that Last Epoch is not good enough. In fact, it has done a good job within its capabilities! The game was officially released in February 2024, and it also brought Season 1, which received excellent reviews from players. Now Season 2 will finally meet you on April 17, 2025!

In fact, this release date has been postponed. Originally, Last Epoch planned to release a new season on April 2, but considering the competitiveness of the new patch of POE 2, it was finally changed to April 17. Although the time is delayed, if you want to adapt to Season 2 as soon as possible, it is necessary to understand the new changes it brings in advance. Based on this, we will introduce you to the 5 new features of endgame crafting.

What Is Endgame Crafting?

There is a complete and huge crafting system in Last Epoch, almost all items can be crafted and upgraded in this way. You can even modify affixes, add new modifiers, and use exotic crafting materials for more advanced crafting in this system. You can just call this system “Forge”. As for endgame crafting, as the name suggests, it is a crafting method that is more suitable for the endgame stage.

Changes In Season 2 Endgame Forge

In terms of overall difficulty, Last Epoch will be easier to get started than POE series. Under this premise, the endgame crafting in Last Epoch is more complicated, but it is precisely because it can provide more benefits that it is popular with players. In order to maintain this advantage of Forge, Season 2 adds more new content.

1. Reforged Set Items

After entering Season 2 endgame stage, you will encounter many more dangerous enemies and bosses. If you can defeat them, you can not only get Last Epoch Gold as loot, but also find Forge of Shattering guarded by the enemy.

Here you can disassemble the sets you already have but are not useful, to obtain set shards and then use these shards to make Reforged Set items. These new sets will generate specific affixes based on the original sets, which may make the new sets you create better.

In addition, when your Reforged Set items get a new affix, the item will provide you with a set bonus. Generally speaking, set affixes can be made up to level 5, but if you use the new Rune of Havoc, you may get T6 or T7 set affixes.

2. Idol Enchanting

Like the name of Season 2, Tombs Of The Erased, you may encounter many bosses in Tombs or Cemeteries in the endgame stage. After defeating them, you will find a Woven Enchanter, which allows you to enchant your class’s idol (different classes can enchant different types) and give it new affixes-this practice can be called Enchanted Affixes and some Weaver’s Touch.

As you kill enemies, you can upgrade the idol by consuming Weaver’s Touch, which can upgrade existing enchantments or add new ones when the idol has a slot. Enchantments are unique compared to normal affixes in that they come from a completely new pool of affixes and can be upgraded to level 7.

The number of times you can use Woven Enchanter varies depending on the situation, such as Tombs allows you to use it once, Cemeteries allow you to use it twice, and some Woven Echoes allow you to use it up to four times. However, if you want to re-enchant an enchanted idol, all added enchantments and Weavers Touch will be removed, so please proceed with caution.

3. Attribute Swapping

Observer will protect Relic of the Observer in Divine Era from Osprix stationed in Abandoned Tower in Oerden’s Watch, and recapture Refortified Lich’s Tower from Imperial forces in Imperial Era. When you time travel between the two towers, if you can defeat both armies and successfully seize Relic of the Observer, this powerful artifact can help you change the attributes of your items.

This artifact can replace unsealed attribute affixes with other attributes of your choice, and even the level and random range of the replaced affixes will be retained on the new affixes. But it is worth noting that since vitality is always in the hands of Eterra, you cannot replace and choose vitality or + all attributes affixes.

4. Craft Experimental Items

After entering the endgame, Weavers’ web may take you to Rune Prison Complex fortress, where exiled mages from all over the in-game world are imprisoned. When you sneak in here and open the rune cage, you will start a fight with the rune guards because you anger them. Simply defeat them to unlock the device used by the rune mages to create experimental items, so that you can make experimental items yourself.

In this way, you will have the opportunity to master forbidden arcane knowledge, and you can also replace the prefixes on belts, boots and gloves with experimental affixes. If you want to craft items, you must ensure that any item you want to craft has at least two prefixes.

5. Rerolling Unique Items

Nothing is more frustrating than getting a unique item drop, only to find that the implicits and affixes attached to it are not good enough. In order to improve this situation, Season 2 has made adjustments to it: as long as you sacrifice the item first, Weaver will give you the opportunity to enter the sacrificial altar, so that you can re-roll the implicits and affixes of the unique item.

In fact, besides the part about endgame crafting, Season 2 also brings a lot of new content worth experiencing to Last Epoch. Let us look forward to the arrival of the new season together!
