Leveling Guides
We've gone back and re-tooled our Leveling Guides to be better than ever. We also have new paths for those who want to play the fantasy of the Mastery vs. the quickest ways to level. This was all a result of your feedback, so keep it coming.

Rogue Leveling Guides
With a skillset that includes attacking from the shadows, firing with bows from Range, and even Melee Range ranking, she can seemingly do it all. It doesn't hurt that she also has the widest variety of defensive options at her disposal. She is largely based around Physical and Poison but also has solid access to Fire, Cold, and Lightning, only adding to her versatility. She also has access to Shadows, a unique mechanic that creates a copy of the Rogue and mimics the next skill used.

Endgame Guides
If you're following one of our Leveling Guides, you find that the endgame in Last Epoch approaches fast. The game's difficulty increases significantly faster in the endgame than in the campaign.
