Open build route Legacy Edition Builds for War in the North
Pick Eradan, Farin, or Andriel first: Heavy Shot and War Cry openers, what to spend next, and which hero to hot-swap when a room starts going wrong.
Start with the hero whose job is failing. Eradan deletes exposed casters, Farin makes the room standable, Andriel covers the revive. Steam’s Legacy Edition lets you hot-swap mid-fight — do not rebuild one character into all three roles.
EDITORIAL START ROUTES · NOT A DPS RANKING
Choose the job your party is missing
Start with the failure you need to solve, then open one focused build route. These profiles use original-system roles and are deliberately not current Legacy Edition damage values.
Role fit is editorial guidance. Verify current tooltips, cooldowns, and item values in your version.

Read the failure, then open one route
This decision matrix is editorial guidance: it maps one repeated problem to a starting route and a current-tooltip check. It does not rank Legacy Edition damage.
| Hero | Pick this when | Opening focus | Keep ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farin | Rooms collapse at the objective or a revive lane never stays open. | War-cry → Sweeping Attack | A shield or heavy weapon, plus a crossbow pull option. |
| Eradan | Archers, casters, or exposed elites must disappear before the line is overrun. | Heavy Shot → Evasion | Bow, arrows, and a safe melee fallback for a closed angle. |
| Andriel | The party needs space to recover, protect an objective, or reset a bad room. | Sanctuary → Word of Command | Staff, Power, and a clear line to the next revive window. |
