TOP 3 BROKEN Builds in The Witcher 3 Next Gen - Top 3 best builds

[@ppBizU]

Hello @Franky Boy: I had a problem that I've lost access to the Nilfgaardian Camp (as I've sold somewhere Nilfgaardian armor) - and I couldn't get gauntlets. But just yesterday I found it's possible to loot them to the north-west from Vikk Watchtower in Novigrad (to the east from Vegelbud Residence). There is a Person in Distress side quest - Herbalist, and the chest with gauntlets is in his residence. Cheers

[@JanRullmann1997]

I also made an "Aarden" build but I used the entanglement enchantment instead of depletion; it's just fun to see Yrden spreading everywhere on its own! However, I totally ignored Focus, so I will include that as well now.

[@wombat4191]

Yeah Entanglement is way too fun to pass when doing Yrden build! Staying in the Yrden yourself is a bit harder since the trap decides where they are cast, but the bigger rings from Griffin set help a lot. I can see Entanglement making the Netflix armor better for Aarden, but the Yrden placement can still screw the combo over, and you lose on the bigger (and more awesome looking) rings and the bonuses they give. BTW, does someone know how much the extra damage with Aard is with the Netflix armor bonus? Is it worth it at all, or would the extra sign intensity from Griffin still be better because it increases Piercing Cold damage?

[@davidponder1654]

@@wombat4191i think its a 7% increase. The forgotten wolf armor is outclassed by both wolven and griffin sets. You can just get it earlier than the wolf set if you dont go through skellige before novigrad

[@Undrtaker11]

Great guide! However there are many end game/lvl 100 guides out there. Can you make a leveling guide? in which order to take which skills, when to swap one armor to the next etc.

[@Mr_Reeflay]

For me feline + Euphoria is the way to play regardless of the difficulty With enough combat experience and well installed perks decoctions n potions You will always have a fighting chance even against higher level enemies What makes this path intriguing for me is how balanced and realistic it is Even at its best best stats it will always stay a glass canon build which prevents it from becoming boring.

[@Furykidxxx]

Same, I've tried Griffin and Bear, just doesn't cut it for me, Feline I can tank even 10 lvl higher creatures than me EASY

[@fishnutz5196]

Nah euphoria is boring. Feline with Bloodbath. Takes more skill and its much more satisfying and cinematic way to play.

[@Itachi_Uchiha7283]

Manticore and euphoria I have 233 toxicity with fast recovery I can drink 4 decoctions and several potions since fast recovery lowers toxicity fast I also have it to where potion effects last longer I can’t remember what it’s called I have more but don’t want to type it all I recommend neon knights video if u haven’t seen it already he has good builds for all Witcher armor I only use manticore armor

Thankyou so much :) Looking forward to the future as well!

[@lopezvip]

Found your channel recently. How about tesham mutna mask, boots and trousers ... gives 3/3 boost. Then mix in with grandmaster feline steel sword, chest plate and gloves. This allows for aerondight silver sword. Bonuses from 2 sets plus aerondight silver sword.

[@michealibra6350]

Can you maybe do a guide/video about a balanced build ? I wanna be able to cast signs drink potions and swing a sword. Just like Geralt is supposed to do in the books.

[@seanbecraft8088]

I've tried to make such a build and found it very underwhelming and underpowered. You can do it with many of the mutations, but your mileage will vary

[@jimmystrudel]

Full Wolven Set. All quick attack tree, all adrenaline gain tree, All Igni tree, Gryphon school general skill, Focus, adrenaline burst, acquired tolerance allows you to run two decoctions at once. i went with troll and the life gain when doing damage for healing. synergy for larger mutagen buffs. Adrenaline Rush mutation from blood and wine. Whatever you want on your swords, i went with instant adrenaline point gain after a kill from the Heart of Stone enchanter. This allows strong sword attacks, fast adrenaline point gain, fast stamina regen, powerful signs casted at full strength when adrenaline points are maxed via flood of anger. Very diverse build, tons of fun and very witcher lore friendly.

[@Mr_Reeflay]

The Wolven set is the way for you good in all yet a master of none

[@ThrowToTheWolves]

Love this 'AARDEN' build. I remember you saying that you have an infinite stamina bug in your game. Have you tried this build on a save where you don't have this bug and see if there is any difference? I know you get infinite stamina from the build anyway but maybe try it on a save where you have no infinite stamina bug and see the results.

[@frankyboy13]

yes the bug is there

[@jesuschrist7080]

The most broken build is 100% a whirl build with grandmaster cat armor, Aerondight and Toussant Knight steel sword. Then just use euphoria, max out the fast attacks, adrenalin and all the green abilities that enable you to drink more mutagens and increase your toxicity tolerance.Thats the only build that makes deathmarch super easy, Ive literally tried out every possible build and this one is just way superior over all the others.

[@gjdalupang4219]

For a signs build for me I did a signs + Alchemy build using Griffin set, with metamorphosis as my mutation since I focused on utilizing Igni, Yrden, Quen and Axii, I only got Fire Stream, Igni Intensity for Igni, whole tree for Yrden, Whole tree for Quen and Delusion for Axii, since all of these signs does critical effects, these will all activate Metamorph (even Quen due to knockbacks). For decoctions activated during metamorph: Ancient Leshen, Arachas, Echidna, Foglet, Forktail, and Water Hag (if you didn't take Delayed Recovery as an alchemy skill). for Alchemy skills: Acquired Tolerance, Tissue Transmutation, Heightened Tolerance/Frenzy, Refreshment, Synergy (optional: Delayed Recovery if you didn't take heightened Tolerance so that activated mutations from Metamorphosis lasts as long as you don't go lower than the trigger point). you'll utilize Yrden primarily for damage dealing, and either Burn them with Igni or Axii/Stun them inside the Yrden Trap (which works on Elementals), also utilize Quen for another Damage output when the barrier breaks. Velez runes for the swords, and either full Igni glyphs on the armors for increased burn damage or a mix with Quen Glyphs for a large barrier HP pool - > more damage when breaking and Rotation (since Igni does burn now with Rotation)/Deflection for armor.

[@gorvenshu-tl6ie]

He is speaking the language of GODS 😢😅

[@32822mikec]

Good build, but you had two Sign abilities that could have been placed in the top left and top right groups of slots for an extra 15% sign intensity each side, total 30% more.

[@ThrowToTheWolves]

I'm definitely going to try out one of these incredible builds and see what they are like. I just love the way you say Pikes. It sounded so badass.

[@frankyboy13]

Hope you’ll be having fun with them :) Thanks a lot 🤗🤗

[@dancewithyourcorpse281]

My aim with builds is to balance signs and swords. Games that become too easy when min-maxing, I always somewhat gimp myself to keep the combat active. It is opposed to becoming OP or unkillable. So almost always glass cannon with medium damage to high damage. These are neat builds that i will probably change a bit. Playing DM new game plus currently and experimenting atm.

[@Grand.Regent.Thragg]

What did you come by?

[@Rackel992]

But do someone really play this game like this ? I think almost everyone mix all the things more or less and don't specialize only on signs or only on sword fighting

[@geekofreeko9092]

Many people do. Either to role-play as geralt or just to try out new playstyles.

[@romainch505]

Those builds are usually played after the main game

[@flyguy7584]

i agree to an extent. its fun to test out and i generally like to do a very mixed build, but for how few skills you can actually equip to get the best out swords, signs or alchemy you really need to go mostly all out in one or the other.

[@sorenjensen3863]

I pretty much just use swords

[@namelessbard2124]

The first ever time I played the game, I watched loads of guide videos available at that time and built a perfect crit build with Grandmaster Cat gear and all. I can easily imagine people doing the same thing but for every playthrough because it does feel really good to know that you’ve put effort in optimizing the specific build and now you’re all powerful for it. For me I decided I’d have much fun going YOLO for my other playthroughs lol, mostly because Grandmaster Cat gear is not my favourite look and alternate signs look fun. Now I wear Wolf armour (switch around with Manticore every other day when I reach endgame because I can’t decide which design I like more) and use bombs, potions and oils, but my build is focused around Quen, Igni and Yrden and I don’t use decoctions at all because I think it’s too much work. It basically comes down to whether a player wants to role-play the most powerful and methodical Witcher in history or a Witcher in pretty gear who’s just here to have a good time lol.

[@PieknyMarian]

Hands down the strongest build after update is metamorphosis one. Absolute immortality in slow motion

[@Grand.Regent.Thragg]

Dont you need to destroy your other decoctions?

[@Regulus-uu7pb]

​@@Grand.Regent.Thraggno you can sell the to a guy in toussaint and retrieve them when you want

[@mufasaIRL]

I put on piercing cold just for fun as I cleared some ? around the map... it's hilariously broken. With the full griffin set I feel like I'm bullying enemies

[@OTCRock4one]

@frankyboy13, I've been using an alchemy hybrid build because I'm using the Manticore Armor from the Base game. I started NG+ and I progressed to: "Hearts of Stone". I've got the GRANDMASTER LEGENDARY GRIFFIN ARMOR that's what I'm using now. I will get the NG+ Mantacore gear once I get to the "Blood and Wine" DLC and go back to the Alchemy build or try one of these builds that you're sharing with us!

[@nostalji93]

[@panyat]

[@Korelie]

Same here lol, just loaded my old ng+ save pre update and suddenly I have 45 free skill points, used to be able to take more potions and decoctions than now I'm confused ehat happened. Now first time looking into pure signs build to change

[@diswazzi1683]

If yrden made you faster while also making enemies slower it would have op potential, imagine a larger yrden circle where the more enemies are inside the slower they move but the faster you move

About that sing build can it kill all monsters in game? like golems.wild hunt monsters and boses?

[@drexciya2]

Look at Geralt in the inventory? Glittery effect all over his Armour. That needs some serious Anti-aliasing. Great Video though

[@syedie7283]

Can i ask, if you feel any difference in resistence between heavy and light armor, at all? Im level 42, these guys for me are level 40 and no matter what gear, talents or potion i get, every hit from them si for 50% and after i have played this game before (Without next-gen patch) 4 times on the highest settings without sweating, now its kinda impossible to even kill the bandit camp in the ruins. I have tried Grandmaster Ursine Witcher Gear with quen build - No difference. I mean, even Boss fights, isnt a problem, just these bandits hit incredibly hard.

[@mattiasandersson8693]

Its bludgeoning damage. Its the one damage type ursine doesnt protect against. Switch to some type of plate armor when fighting bandits and notice the difference

[@simolukas]

I enjoy these videos very much :)) please, keep up the great work ! 🤞

[@frankyboy13]

hey lukas, thanks a lot!

[@snuffeldjuret]

have you tried playing "hardcore"? As in, you start a new game and quit upon first death. (On Death March)

[@ryantalbot1465]

My favourite build is mix of a manticore crit damage build and bomb build i use metamorphosis and delayed recovery which means i have all potions active and 5 decoctions at all times as long as my toxicity is above 55%. Lets just say a blizzard potion that doesnt run out is the most broken buff in the game time gets slowed and when adrenaline is maxed youdont use stamina so signs become broken

[@deepakprime3275]

Can I get a nilfgardian armour after the royale palace visit as well because I sold it already and I want to get the nilfgardian gaurdsmen gauntlets

[@quercingtime]

For the Manticore build, should I still use Wyvern, Succubus, Ekimmara and Troll decoction as standard?

[@fran_miw]

How did you get that saddle? :O I don't know it!

[@sivaramakarthik7173]

While the Sign build looks really amazing, as if Geralt was still in the service of the Wild Hunt, freezing enemies to death, including the cinematics, Euphoria is the God Build in my opinion. 4 decoctions and 1 potion to hit the sweet 200 or 210+ toxicity but still keeping the health full and damage high, then using Whirl for mobs and Rend for Bosses. I finished off around 10 to 20 enemies in just 10 seconds or so.

[@azawestie123]

All you need in this game is Fleet Footed and Max Igni Intensity. Continuously hop and sidestep around like a frog and toss in Igni's and sword strikes against burning enemies and you are fairly invulnerable, esp with Quen maxxed. Don't even need decent armor to beat any enemy or multiple enemies, just a finger that can actively spam sidestep without getting a blister haha. Fleet Footed is pretty much a broken mechanic that will hopefully be nerfed in Witcher 4.

For me, I think the best base gear in the end is a mix of grandmaster griffin and gm forgotten wolven. At least for base game, I recently almost finished everything before I start NG+ for the first time. For preference, I think attack and sign boost is best, so equiping the griffin sword and gauntlets, along with the forgotten wolven is probably the most strength build. It looks a little weird but at least less goofy with different gauntlets over green boots on black gear.
