Twister Leveling Guide – A Build for Every Class

The Mini League starts on September 5th, so I’d like to share a leveling build for all the newbies out there: Twister Leveling

Why Twister?

There are several reasons why I highly recommend Twister as a leveling setup:

1. Works with every class ✅
2. Easy to play
3. Excellent damage scaling
4. Can start farming immediately after reaching the endgame
5. Very smooth and cost-efficient upgrade progression (high P/P)

Starting Setup

When you enter the game, start by creating a Huntress character. This gives you access to the starting gear, including a Spear, as well as the Whirling Slash and Twister skill gems.

Once you have them:

1. Remove the gear and skill gems from your character
2. Put them into your stash 📦
3. Log out and create the class you actually want to play ✅

This allows you to use the Huntress starting setup regardless of which class you ultimately choose.

Basic Attack Combo

For regular mapping, the basic combo is:

3x Whirling Slash → 1x Twister

You can also aim your Twister so that it bounces back from a wall and hits the target again. Learning to position your Twister this way can significantly improve your overall damage output.

For bosses, add Barrage before starting your normal combo.

Passive Tree

If you're starting with a class that isn't on the Huntress's Dexterity side of the passive tree, you will need to path toward nodes that provide a good amount of Projectile Damage and Attack Damage along the way.

You don't need to follow the passive tree 100% by the book. The goal during leveling is simply to pick up efficient damage and survivability nodes while progressing toward your main build.

Gear Priorities

Level 1-30

Spear - any flat damage

x2 Iron Rings - any flat damage

Gloves - any flat damage

Boots - movement speed

Best combo - Ice-tipped arrows + x3 whirling slash + barrage + twister

Use war banner when bossing

Level 30-60

Still same item set with higer roll for flat damage / res / movement speed / life ,...

Best combo - Ice-tipped arrows + x3 whirling slash + barrage + twister

Use war banner when bossing

End of campaign & early mapping

Once you reach the endgame, you can further optimize the build by using two Weapon Sets.

Weapon Set 1 – Attack Speed

Use this weapon set for Attack Speed and keep Whirling Slash at a lower level.

The main purpose of this setup is to make Whirling Slash fast and smooth while keeping its mana cost low.

Weapon Set 2 – Maximum Twister Damage

Try to find the highest DPS spear possible. My tip: equip each spear and check the tooltip DPS to compare them.

Any spirit sceptre

Helm(Evasion / ES base) - Life / res / crit chance

Gloves(Evasion / ES base) - Attack speed / flat damage / res

Boots - Birth of Fury or Wake of Destruction

Rings - Flat damage / res / life

Amulet - Spirit / life / res

Belt - Life / res

By switching between the two weapon sets, you can optimize both the speed and damage of the build

Final Thoughts

With the right gear upgrades and passive choices along the way, Twister can carry you smoothly through the campaign while keeping the leveling process fast and enjoyable.
