With the official announcement from the game developers, POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur League will be officially released on July 26, and players have also ushered in their long-awaited melee enhancements and Gladiator remakes.

So now that the release time is getting closer, have you chosen which league starter to choose in Settlers of Kalguur League? As we all know, a strong league starter can develop your early league economy more efficient and easily obtain your POE Currency and gear in the build.

This guide will introduce some suitable builds for POE 3.25, most of which focus on melee. Each of them is very stable and has been enhanced to a certain extent at this stage, which can make your exploration in Settlers of Kalguur League easier.

Boneshatter Juggernaut

Boneshatter Juggernaut has received certain enhancements in both the basic version and the complex trauma version. Some players may still worry about whether Juggernaut class’s previous Unbreakable Ascendancy will change in this POE 3.25. In fact, this worry is unnecessary.

Endurance charges now reduce the elemental damage provided, instead of just changing elemental resistances and physical damage as before. You will find that the new configuration may be more powerful now, and the role of the new Unbreakable Ascendancy node is the same as before, without any changes.

If you put divine flesh into this build, Boneshatter Juggernaut will become even more powerful. In addition, Quality multiplicative changes will also have a very big impact on this build, especially to increase damage and enhancing offense. I think this should offset the nerf in Determination Aura.

Gear

• Weapon: Brood Etcher Despot Axe
• Helmet: Glyph Star Ezomyte Burgonet
• Armor: Forth Vow Devout Chainmail
• Rings: Eagle Finger Amethyst Ring, Carrion Hold Amethyst Ring
• Amulet: Eternal Struggle Onyx Amulet
• Gloves: Tanu Ahi Wyrmsclae Gauntlets
• Belt: Magnate Studded Belt
• Boots: Brood Sole Goliath Greaves

Frostblades Trickster

In Path Of Exile 3.25, the second best league starter build is Frostblades Trickster because of its high speed, high evasion, and higher damage. Many players worry that it is an early build that will only be dominant in the early stages and weaker in the later stages. This worry is unnecessary and absolutely not a problem.

And in POE 3.25, Frostblades Trickster has not been affected at all. In this build, Frostblade skill gem not only increases its own damage by 265 but also enhances its own basic freezing effect. This makes Frostblades Trickster even more powerful.

In this version and stage, Frostblades Trickster has undergone many nerfs, but it is still strong and has the potential to become an absolute beast in this league. This is also a Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur melee build that you should try.

Gear

• Weapon: Essence Only Claw
• Offhand: Day 1 Shield
• Helmet: Heatshiver
• Armor: Day 1 Chest
• Rings: Maming, Day 1
• Amulet: New Item
• Gloves: Day 1 Gloves
• Belt: Day 1 Belt
• Boots: Day 1 Boots

Shield Crush Juggernaut

Shield Crush Juggernaut has been around for a few leagues, and in POE 3.19 it was a very slow league start build, but now in POE 3.25 it’s become very powerful. The way this build works is that you stack your armor with your shield soldiers to protect yourself.

In addition to Energy shield, it also adds fixed damage per 75 armor, and also increases your crit based on Energy shields' stats. This means that this is a very powerful crit stacking build.

According to the patch notes, the two skills in this build come with two buffs themselves. One of them has a fixed base damage DPS buff, and the other has a high-end DPS buff that scales with armor, which makes Shield Crush Juggernaut one of the most powerful builds in Path of Exile 3.25.

In addition, this build is one of the few builds in the game that can scale to extreme armor levels through shield quality, and its multiplicative changes will greatly increase the DPS of this build.

Gear

• Weapon: Dream Feather Replica
• Offhand: Emperor’s Vigilance
• Helmet: Enemy Horn
• Armor: Fourth Oath
• Rings: Cataclysm Knot, Storm Ring
• Amulet: Adur’s Uprising
• Gloves: Tanu Ahi
• Belt: Perseverance
• Boots: Cataclysm Slippers

Perforate Slayer

Although Perforate Slayer does not have a complete end-game configuration, players believe that it has the potential to become the best POE 3.25 league starter. In Perforate Slayer, the damage of the perforate skill gem is increased from 265% to 622%, which will make your battles easier.

But it also has certain risks. If you are not an experienced player, it is not recommended for you to use this build. Because it is very likely that when you use this build to kill people, your own health may not be very healthy.

Gear

• Weapon: Death Roar
• Offhand: Crown of Sorrow
• Helmet: Enemy Horn
• Armor: Death Jack
• Rings: Mind’s Eye, Dusk Eye
• Amulet: Doom Amulet
• Gloves: Death Knuckles
• Belt: Chaos Trap
• Boots: Vortex Slippers

That’s it for the best builds you can try out in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur. Let’s get started on July 26!
