10 Character Builds That BROKE RPGs
4. Critical Master - Assassin's Creed Odyssey
The role-playing era of the Assassin's Creed series began with Origins, but it was in Odyssey that it really hit its flow. And, out of all the possible builds, there's still no beating the unstoppable slaughtering that comes with the Critical Master characters.
As the name would suggest, Critical Master builds revolve around dispatching enemies as quickly as possible, with players able to reach up to a 100% chance of landing a critical hit every single attack.
Battlecry of Ares is undoubtedly the star of the show with the Critical Master build. The ability lets players enter an invincible rage mode, increasing all damage done and giving them a huge edge against even the biggest opponents.
The ability is scaleable too, producing +35% damage for 15 seconds at tier 1, and +50% more damage for 20 seconds. The build revolves around being at full health to get that 100% critical hit chance but, when slicing through enemies at the rate in which the Critical Master allows, that isn't anywhere near as much of a challenge as some might think.
All in all, the Critical Master build just feels like a way of playing Odyssey at a rapid rate that no developer could have ever envisaged.
