Build Planner
Runes are account-wide — each one boosts every hero in the party. Only combat runes are shown here; their bonus is already folded into each hero's stat totals above.
Combined resources across all 1 hero. Rate stats (crit, speeds) aren't summed — compare those per hero above.
The community's most-played hero for solo content. Fastest attack speed in the game, 40% base crit, and multiple Dodge Chance passive lines make the Ranger both powerful and survivable — without needing heavy gear investment early on.

Affix priorities
- Crit Chance — 40% base means a modest investment pushes reliable crits
- Crit Damage — amplifies every crit at an already-high rate
- Projectile Damage % — boosts every basic attack and Rapid Fire
- Attack Speed — the Ranger's core stat; stacks directly
- Dodge Chance — the Ranger's defensive layer; several passive lines invest here
Rune priorities
- All Hero Attack Speed — biggest multiplier for basic attack output
- All Hero Attack Damage % — base damage is low; a percentage lift compounds with crit
Tips
- Skewer Shot has a unique mod that triggers extra effects on Bleed — check the Modifiers page for gear that enhances it.
- Swift Surge is a repositioning tool, not a damage spike. Use it to dodge boss projectiles.
- Arrow Rain provides AoE coverage; combine with Scatter Shot for dense-wave Torment farming.
