Today, we'll be showcasing a handful of cool builds from Secrets of the Atlas. This is just a brief overview, so if you want to learn more about any of them, check out the links to the creators!

Paint_Master's Ice Crash Slayer

First up, we have an Ice Crash Slayer created by Paint_Master, as part of their challenge to make a build with a limit of one Divine!

To do this, Paint Master has employed several low cost unique items to get the most bang for your buck, or crash for your chaos in this case.

The Frostbreath unique mace, corrupted with Fortify on Hit, deals double damage to chilled enemies. We have this equipped in our main hand while using Ice Crash of Cadence, which makes hits with our mainhand weapon deal even more damage.

The Bitterdream unique sceptre lets us support our Ice Crash with a whopping eight support gems, without having to shell out for a six-linked body armour.

The Heatshiver unique helmet provides a large amount of our cold damage as extra fire damage against enemies that are chilled, which we can comfortably apply with our heavily supported Ice Crash.

This build clears all but the most pinnacle content with a cool calm demeanor, without a chilling price tag.

Jungroan's Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice Occultist

If you’re a cat person, this next build is for you. Actually, it might not. This is frankly far too many cats.

Created by Jungroan, inspired by tech from the aptly named Devilcat - this Occultist uses Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice, to spew an unholy amount of deadly space kitties. The Celestial Cat Skill Effect, makes the theme.

There's a few very important moving parts that require specific breakpoints in order for this build to function correctly, so we strongly recommend checking out Jungroan's video on this build if you'd like to consume the souls of your foes in a cosmic feline frenzy.

Mewfour's Crushing Fist Gladiator

If you’re allergic to cats, you can just punch things. Actually, anyone can just punch things. The One Megafisto Man created by Mewfour does this better than most.

This character is built around Crushing Fist, a retaliation skill that activates on block. In order to use it, we first need to block consistently. Megafisto uses the Gladiator for its incredibly high effective chance to block attacks and spells.

Of course your character also needs to scale its damage somehow! Mewfour has taken the Impaler Keystone which lets our single punch apply a bunch of Impale stacks, in the off chance that our initial punch doesn’t annihilate our enemies!

BaumisMagicalWorld's Scorching Ray Totem Hierophant

Our final build today is another one that makes great use of Mercenaries. This Scorching Ray Totem Hierophant is still possible to play without a Mercenary, but build creator BaumisMagicalWorld mentions that the addition of Mercenaries rounds out the build and plugs some of its holes.

Scorching Ray is great against single targets, but lacking in clear speed and crowd control effects. This is where the Mercenary comes in. Baumi suggests that any Mercenary with a strong area of effect can be used, but the Merc of choice in this case is a Flamehand.

Equipped with unique items that allow their fire damage to freeze and shock, our mercenary applies ailments and clears monsters while we can focus on taking out the tougher enemies.

This is a great showcase of how Mercenaries can be a powerful ally even when our build isn't specifically designed to buff the Merc's damage.
