RavenQuest Beginner Build
As a new player in RavenQuest, you’re limited in skills, passives, and RavenCards, which can make the early stages challenging. This beginner-friendly build focuses on self-sustaining melee combat, excelling in single-target damage while offering solid AoE capabilities.
With this build, you’ll smoothly progress through quests, complete tasks, and tackle tougher enemies—whether you’re playing solo or with a group. I personally used this build to comfortably solo many of the early “Group Suggested” quests, such as Tuskan Trasher and The Ipsy Dipsy Spider, among others.
In this guide, we’ll explore a build that alternates between 4 archetypes. You can switch between a damage-focused or survival-oriented approach, depending on the situation and your playstyle needs.
RavenQuest Beginner Build Stats & Attributes
Increases Weapon Power and Weapon Defense, significantly boosting your damage output.
Enhances Haste, Spell Defense, and Weapon Defense. Dexterity is a great defensive tool, improving attack speed and reducing both the global cooldown and casting time.
Provides Max Health, Health Regeneration, and increases both Spell and Weapon Defense. Vitality becomes crucial for long-term survivability as you encounter tougher enemies.
RavenQuest Beginner Build Archetypes
This build draws from three out of four Archetypes, allowing you to create one of three possible class combinations. Warfare serves as the core archetype, paired with Shadow, Archery, and Protection to form versatile builds depending on your preferred playstyle:
- Shadestriker: Combine Warfare, Shadow, and Archery.
- Dark Knight: Combine Warfare, Shadow, and Protection.
- Fighter: Combine Warfare, Archery, and Protection.
Warfare (Primary Archetype)
Warfare is your main archetype due to its powerful single-target and AoE damage capabilities. Additionally, it offers life leech and self-healing, which provide much-needed sustainability, especially in tough battles. Its versatility makes it the backbone of your build.
Shadow
Shadow brings high burst damage and useful crowd control to the table. It includes strong passive abilities that can further increase your damage output. Shadow is ideal for weaving in attacks that debilitate enemies while enhancing your overall combat potential.
Archery
Archery adds range and precision to your build. It’s particularly useful for engaging enemies at a distance while retaining powerful, impactful skills that complement your melee-focused playstyle. This archetype gives you flexibility and an edge in varied combat scenarios.
Protection
Protection is widely regarded as the “meta” archetype because of its extensive survival benefits. While not as crucial in the early game, Protection becomes essential as you progress to tougher regions like Sajecho. It offers a variety of defensive skills and passives that help mitigate damage and increase survivability in challenging encounters.
To get the most out of your build, you’ll want to level up all your archetypes, even the ones you’re not actively using. The higher your archetype levels, the more skill points and attribute points you’ll have to allocate to your main build. This provides more flexibility in customising your character and maximising your effectiveness in both PvE and PvP content.

RavenQuest Beginner Build How To Play
Rotation
In the early stages of RavenQuest, skill points are limited, so it’s essential to focus on high-impact skills with short cooldowns to maximise your efficiency in combat. Some skills that are useful early on may become less relevant later in the game, but they provide much-needed damage and utility during early progression.
Key Skill Selection Strategy
You can skip the first skill of all archetypes except for Warfare. For this build, we’ll be using Brutal Strike as our primary spammable ability. Since all spammable skills share the same cooldown, it’s best to choose the most effective one, and Brutal Strike stands out compared to options like Bash, Wind Arrow, or Quick Slash. Not only does it deal solid damage, but it also heals you regularly, making it an excellent survival tool—especially when paired with the right RavenCard.
Damage and Healing Synergy
This build focuses on dealing as much damage as possible while utilising the healing abilities from the Warfare archetype. As you level up, you’ll unlock more skills to enhance both your damage output and survivability.
When setting up your skill bar, organise your abilities in a way that allows for a seamless rotation. Arrange your skills by cooldown and separate single-target abilities from AoE (Area of Effect) skills. This way, you can easily adjust your rotation based on the situation, whether you’re focusing on a single enemy or handling multiple foes.
