Our base class is Sentinel, which fills the role of a knight inLast Epoch. Upon finishing Act 1in the campaign, your character will be offered an opportunity toselect an Advanced Mastery. Each base class has threepossible Masteries to choose from. For Sentinel, you can choose betweenPassive Trees for Paladin, Forge Guard, and Void Knight. Uponselecting a Mastery and placing 20 Passive Points into the Sentinel Tree,you'll then be able to place Passive Points into the Mastery Trees.

Void Knight is the Advanced Class used for this build, and also where the majority ofour Passive Points will come from. The Void Knight Tree willfocus around picking nodes that increase Void Damage, Leech Rate, and Vitality.Paladin is taken for one purpose, and that's to unlock Sigils Of HopeThe Forge Guard and is not used for this build. Each Passive Tree and their pointsare broken down below.

• 8 points into Fearless.
• 2 points into Juggernaut.
• 5 points into Armour Clad: This is huge for our defensive aspect, as it provides a flat10% reduction in damage taken for being in melee range.
• 5 points into Valiant Charge: Not taken just out of necessity, this greatly improves the mobilityof the build through Lunge.

• 6 points into Temporal Corruption: Taken for the added Void Damage.
• 10 points into Abyssal Endurance.
• 6 points into World Eater: Melee and Void Leech, important for survival.
• 8 points into Void Blades.
• 1 point into Void Corruption: For every point in Void Knight, we gain 1% Critical Multiplier,totaling 78% extra Critical Damage.
• 10 points into Doom Knight: Warpath scales off Strength, making this node valid.
• 5 points into Echoing Strikes: Taken specifically for Warpath echoes.
• 1 point into Time Legion: Taken mainly for echo chance, but Attack Speed is also useful.
• 15 points into Dread: Huge node, amps up damage and significantly increases Movement Speed.
• 1 point into Avatar of Regret: Echo chance, once again. This slows our attacks down a bit, and also increases Manacost, but this is fine. Mana is solved in this build's skill trees.
• 5 points into Essence of the End: Void Essence is great for mobbing, boosting Warpath's damage by 30% per stack.
• 1 point into Void Well: In the event you run out of resources, mostly while killing mobs, this node willrefund Mana in exchange for Void Essence.
• 1 point into Eternal Form: Taken for pathing.

• 6 points into Defiance: Elemental Resistance taken to balance out thenegative effect from Reckless Spin.
• 10 points into Abyssal Endurance: We need to unlock Sigils Of Hope, and this isour best option in this tree to acheive that goal.

In this section, we will break down each skill and highlight the key passives we have selected to make the skill shine in the build.While some of these skills do allow for some variation to exist depending on your own custom choices, we recommend utilizing the skilltrees as presented until you have a strong understanding of the build itself.

Warpath is the main action of this build. This skill is how we will deal most of our damage, aswell as automate Abyssal Echoes. By itself, the damage off Warpath is nothing to write homeabout. To make Warpath viable, a ton of points must be dropped into it to reduce the Mana cost. By doingthis, the options we have for the remaining points are limited. However, by creating echoes with Warpathand stacking Armor Shred, we can turn this skill into a destroyer of Corruption.

• 2 points into Unchained: Required Mana cost reduction.
• 1 points into Reckless Spin: Required Mana cost reduction. The reduction in Elemental Resistance is accounted forto make sure we don't just get one shot by a cold breeze.
• 3 point into Iron Reach: Increases the area for Warpath.
• 2 point into Whirling Steel: Traversal node.
• 2 points into Battlemaster's Blade: More area increases. Important for managing uptime againstenemies you may not want to be super close to but still need to hit.
• 5 point into Dark Nexus: Required Mana gain. This is how you'll maintain Warpath's channel and stillbe able to cast Anomaly, Sigils Of Hope, and Abyssal Echoes.
• 5 points into Void Spiral: Simple Melee Void Damage increase. Doubled, due to using a two-handed axe.
• 1 point into Echo Knight: Creates echoes off Warpath as well as boosts all of our damage for channeling the skill.Creating echoes requires constant movement!
• 1 points into Apocalypse Whirl: Converts Warpath from Physical to Void.
• 1 point into Maw of the Deep: Traversal node.
• 1 point into Abyssal Tempest: Automates Abyssal Echoes once every 5 seconds. AbyssalEchoes is used mostly to apply Shred Armor stacks.

This build uses 24 points for Warpath, however it can be played with 21 comfortably, but any less and you will start losing damage.Remove the optional points from both Battlemaster's Blade and Iron Reach if you need to. If you only have 20 points, removea point in Void Spiral. Be aware, losing these points means Warpath will deal damage in a much smaller area. While this is finein early Corruption, it may be your downfall against harder enemies that require higher amounts of uptime.

Lunge is typically not very interesting. We can say with confidence, that is not the case in this build.Explained later on in the gearing section, Paranoia enables Lunge to be used without a target. Combinedwith an extremely low cooldown timer (sub-3 seconds is possible with gear), this is some of the most mobile gameplay you canexperience while playing as a Sentinel. Not all for show, Lunge serves an even bigger purpose; providing us with tons of VoidPenetration.

• 1 points into Disarming Blow: Traversal node.
• 2 points into Initiate's Onslaught: Traversal node.
• 3 points into Cull the Weak: 15% Kill Threshold is huge, and only becomes more important as you push Corruption.
• 4 points into Reckless Skirmish: Great for getting around maps. Using Lunge on weak mobs is a good way to activate this.
• 1 point into Voidbringer: Converts Lunge from Physical to Void.
• 2 points into Dawn Charge: Free healing.
• 1 point into Blade Stream: Deal damage to all enemies between the starting and ending point of the dash. Importantdetail for a later node.
• 3 points into Broadside: Increases the width of Lunge by 45%; synergizes with the previous node very well.
• 5 points into Crusader's Fury: What this entire tree builds up to. For every enemy that you deal damage to when Lunge is used,you will be granted a stack that boosts Void Penetration for 4 seconds. Since our cooldown on Lunge is less than this, you can easily maintainat least one stack at all times.

If needed due to lacking passive points, remove two points from Reckless Skirmish.

Anomaly is used as a support skill in this build. It's the "void bubble" that was mentionedat the start of this page. The bubble will follow us for 10 seconds; while active, it will shred theVoid Resistance of any nearby enemy, increase our Attack Speed, and boost how much Health we Leech when usingVoid attacks.

• 4 point into Emission: Traversal node.
• 3 points into Borrowed Time: Required! Allows for the casting of Anomaly without stopping the channel on Warpath.
• 1 point into Void Touched: Traversal node.
• 2 points into Immediacy: Removes the combo aspect from Anomaly, and no longer makesenemies disappear for a short period of time.
• 1 point into Time Bubble: Casts a bubble that Shreds the Void Resistance ofany nearby enemy and Slows them as well.
• 5 points into Temporal Mastery: Doubles how long the Time Bubble stays active.
• 1 point into Time Lord: The Time Bubble now centers on the player and follows as they move.
• 2 points into Manipulation: Attack Speed increase.
• 3 points into Time Eater: Further boosts to Leech. Especially effective for Void Damage.
• 1 point into Lingering Memory: Keeps the effects from Time Bubble active even after itdisappears. This is good for the small downtime in between casts for full uptime.

Abyssal Echoes is never manually casted. Instead, we rely on close proximity to mobs and activationwhen using Warpath. This skill serves one purpose, really; applying extra effectiveShred Armor stacks.

• 1 point into Vorpal Reverberation: Traversal node.
• 5 points into Rippling Corrosion: Applies 5 stacks of Armor Shred when activated.
• 5 points into Tides of Rust: The 5 stacks of Armor Shred effectively become 10 stacks.
• 2 points into Deep Expanse: Area increase, ensures we hit all nearby enemies.
• 5 points into Crippling Waves: Applies Slow on hit.
• 1 points into Freedom of Movement: Removes any possibility of being Slowed, and instead turns it into Haste.

Sigils Of Hope will provide even more buffs to our Void Damage. Just like Anomaly, this willbe forced into being instant cast, allowing us to use it while we channel Warpath.

• 2 points into Empowering Sigils: Boost in damage.
• 2 points into Decree of Flame: Flat bonus to Void Damage (converted in the next node).
• 1 point into Sigils of Despair: Converts all bonuses in this tree from Fire to Void Damage, while also boostingVoid Damage by 15% per Sigil.
• 4 points into Word of Alacrity: Traversal node.
• 4 points into Exigency: Turns Sigils into an instant cast.
• 1 point into Invigorate: Traversal node.
• 5 point into Quiet Mind: Mana cost reduction.
• 1 point into Polygram: Allows for the summoning of one extra Sigil.
• 4 points into Word of Power: Increase to Melee Damage. This buff lasts 3 seconds, so ideally you spreadthe summoning of the Sigils out so this is maintained at 100% uptime when possible.
