Most powerful Gordian Quest builds

Discovering various characters and combinations ranks among the most delightful features of Gordian Quests, yet the multitude of choices can sometimes leave one feeling bewildered, particularly for novice players.

I’ve put together this comprehensive guide detailing optimal Gordian Quest build strategies, complete with visual representations for each Talent, Skill tree layout, deck configuration, and more. This information is provided both here and on subsequent pages to aid you in progressing through the game effectively.

Before we delve into specific character builds, let’s take a moment to recall that teamwork is key to success in Gordian Quest. As previously discussed, the most effective strategies involve building synergies among your heroes, creating an unbeatable team. Now, our focus shifts to exploring each hero’s unique build in greater detail.

For maximum impact, pair the following heroes together to create a cohesive and devastating team.

1 Alphonse’s build


Alphonse, the Scoundrel,
is one of the five free heroes that are also available in the demo version of the game. He’s primarily used as a DPS hero in various team comps. For this build, we will go with the Rogue specialisation and use dual
Abracadaver
legendary daggers. Spec towards Dexterity, but always make sure you have enough Strength to equip the gear you need.

Talents

Simplifying passives means choosing constructions where the action is performed by the subject, rather than having a passive verb. In this case, it could be rephrased as: “Go for buildings that offer Max Draw+, Initiative, and more.” This makes the sentence easier to understand while maintaining its original meaning.

Deck Build

  • Throwing Dagger
  • Fan of Knives
  • Tactical Options
  • Dagger Proficiency
  • Deadly Gyre
  • Threaten
  • Dexterous Handling
  • Forked Thoughts
  • Improvise
  • Lone Wolves
  • Shift

Star-up Throwing daggers whenever you can.

Skill Tree

In this setup, Alphonse deals an astonishing amount of Area-of-Effect (AoE) damage, effectively wiping out the entire game board. To maximize his potential, it’s advisable to team him up with Kudo. Kudo has the ability to debilitate numerous enemies, causing them to sustain additional physical damage.

2 Catherin’s build

Catherin is primarily a support hero in Gordian Quest, and is especially great for beginners. She can heal teammates, boost their stats, and even deal some damage or act as a tank.

You can customize her structure to emphasize healing and boosts for a supportive role, or fortify it with Guard and Shield boosts for a more offensive playstyle. This setup utilizes the Cleric’s initial deck, Scepter weapon, and the Ogre Band legendary belt. Allocate points towards Intelligence, but maintain enough Strength to accommodate any equipment.

Talents

Go for +1 Max Draw passives, intelligence, SP, +1. Nothing fancy.

Deck Build

  • Life Surge
  • Shield Break
  • Rally
  • Debilitating Bolt
  • Righteous Blow
  • Holy Bolt
  • Righteous Flame
  • Smite
  • Empower
  • Force of Mind
  • Armor of Faith
  • Shift

Star-up Life Surge and Shield Break

Skill Grid

In essence, Catherine is chiefly designed as a supportive character, enhancing her teammates’ offensive capabilities. Yet, she possesses an added layer of toughness, enabling her to serve as a semi-durable frontliner when the situation demands it.

3 Kudo’s build


In this setup, Kudo employs Bleed to inflict harm, diminish foes, enhance team abilities, and impose conditions such as Burn, Poison, or Vulnerable. This build is based on the Tormentor initial deck and the Echo Rod legendary wand.

Talents

Go for strength, +max draw, Iron Will, Short Fuse, Force of Nature, Anatomical Knowledge.

Deck Build

  • Blood Lance
  • Hemophilia
  • Circle of Agony
  • Blood Rain
  • Void Orb
  • Bone Barrier
  • Frost Beam
  • Empower
  • Threaten
  • Double Cast
  • Improvise
  • Lone Wolves
  • Shift

Star up Circle of Agony, Void Orb, and Hemophilia.

Skill Grid

Using this construction, Kudo is capable of inflicting area-of-effect debuffs (specifically, vulnerability) and dishing out substantial damage. He works particularly well with Alphonse, as Kudo significantly boosts Alphonse’s damage output. In essence, Kudo serves as the team’s primary debuffer while also functioning as a secondary DPS hero.
