Welcome back to another build reveal for those who are not familiar. This article highlights all the necessary information for you to decide if this build is for you or not.

Today’s build is a smoking hot Explosive Arrow Champion with the Duelist class. This build uses the Explosive Arrow skill on the ballistas to deliver a huge ignite that proliferates on your enemies.

Pros

To list the pros, I’d like to start with how easy this build is to put together. You only need one mandatory unique item and a few other specific rare items.

This build is perfect for starting a new league or those nice in the league events that are surely coming out in March. This build is also very safe to play because with a totem play style, you just need to wait behind while they turn your enemies into ash.

Cons

Now, to list the cons, I’d start saying that this build uses fire damage over time. This means that your boss damage will need a lot of investment to be amazing.

But don’t worry too much about it. You can easily kill map bosses on a low budget. I do not only recommend this build for Uber boss farming if you don’t want to spend much.

Another issue is that some players might find this totem gameplay to be a little tedious and too easy, but that’s just a matter of taste.

Budget

As for Budget, you can get it destroying early endgame maps with only around 55 Chaos Orbs to comfortably advanced to yellow maps. You need around 120 Chaos Ors. And for easily completing your atlas, I recommend investing around 4 Divine Orbs, but you can totally do it with less.

Don’t forget it on Poebuilds.net. You can find a list with all the equipment that you need to buy for this build with direct links with examples being sold by other players. You only need one mandatory unique item for this build, the Dyadian Dawn Belt, which causes your ignites to do damage a lot faster. This is great for killing bosses.

Clear Speed

For clear speed, this build gets 8 out of 10.

I took two points out because of this delay that Explosive Arrow has before exploding and proliferating your ignites. This might feel a little clunky, but as you can see, the clear speed is great to farm red maps.

Boss Damage

The boss damage also gets 8 out of 10.

As mentioned before, fire damage over time builds need to invest many Divine Orbs to have a big single target damage. But this one, even on a low budget, will farm red map bosses with no issue.

Survivability

For the survivability, I’ll give it a 10 out of 10.

This is because we’re talking about a totem build where you just need to summon them and wait behind while they destroy and tank everything for you. You just need to mind your position and above all of that. This build also counts with high armor evasion and spell suppression, resulting in over a hundred thousand effects of HP.

That’s it. What did you think about this Explosive Arrow Champion? And don’t forget to keep building.
