Battle of Builds hands you the spreadsheet-brain fantasy — engineering a build in the skill tree and letting it prove itself in elo-rated duels — while the project is still small enough that your feedback genuinely matters. It's rough around the edges by the developer's own admission, but as a free browser proving ground for ARPG build craft, it's a fun loop to get in on early.
About Battle of Builds
Battle of Builds is an ARPG autobattler that combines strategic build crafting with the quick progress and quick deaths of a roguelike loop. Select your class, loot armor and weapons, slot skill gems, and level up to traverse the skill tree — then let your creation duel other characters for a place on the high score chart.
The duels are where the name comes from: your build fights other saved player builds and bot builds, and the results feed into an elo calculation. A build's starting elo is its level times ten, with large initial adjustments that shrink over time, so early rankings swing before they settle.
This is an early-development project and the page says so plainly: expect significant bugs, balance issues, unpolished visuals and no sound yet, and the high score list gets wiped when the passive tree is updated. In exchange, the developer says player feedback has a huge impact on where development goes — questions and bug reports go through the game's Discord.
How to Play
Pick a class and run content to loot armor and weapons, slot skill gems and level up through the skill tree. When your build is ready — win or, more likely, lose — it duels other saved player builds and bot builds, and those results move your elo on the high score chart. Then iterate: craft a new build and climb again.
Controls
See the original itch.io page for the developer's control notes.
Tips & Tricks
Treat your first duels as scouting — the elo system swings hardest early, when a build's rating starts at its level times ten.
Expect the high score list to be wiped when the passive tree is updated; don't get too attached to a ranking.
Bring build questions and bugs to the game's Discord — the developer says feedback shapes the project's direction.
