Still, like all games, efficiency is the most viable way, and only select Valorplates with the right builds can make a real difference when facing the empowered enemies and bosses Godfall’s endgame throws at players. Godfall’s community makes up of a lot of different players who play in different ways. What may work for some may not work for others, so here is a collection of strong and fun-to-play builds in Godfall.
Aeigishorn’s play style is centralized around taking less damage while dishing out massive amounts of damage for overhealth retention. While Aegishorn excels at supporting the party as a tank, it can also be one of the most devastating DPS in the game. While this build for Aegishorn does focus on survivability, it brings together the ability to crit for massive damage while inflicting Ailments and gaining overhealth.
With the correct stats and weapon combo, Aegishorn should heal from every hit it makes contact with, and when weapon skills are triggered should release devastating damage to all nearby enemies, one-shoting most of them and setting bosses and elite bosses up for takedowns.

This build for mesa focuses and amplifies her ability to inflict poison Ailments. Additionally, this build can strip enemy defenses and shred their life bars to nothing with heavy damage ticks and refreshing of poison procks while it spreads to other enemies. Mesa is an incredibly fun Valorplate to play, and while she is usually a great support in a team, this build allows her to stand on her own in all forms of Godfall’s endgame content.
