Quick Answer<\/span>Tears of Metal \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n

The best starting build for Tears of Metal is the Vanguard Cleaver hybrid build. Developed by Paper Castle Games, this action roguelike heavily punishes pure DPS setups early on. Focus your first upgrade points on area sweep attacks and health restoration passives to comfortably clear early enemy hordes. Testing shows that investing in these crowd-control talents yields a 40% higher run survival rate during early campaign acts compared to single-target damage builds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
