10 Character Builds That BROKE Video Games

9. Euphoria Build - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Once you crack into all the options that mutations, mutagens, and decoctions unlock in The Witcher 3 beneath your base stats, you notice that the RPG systems are rife with opportunities to create game-breaking builds. One of the most popular are the Euphoria builds which are built around the incredibly useful Euphoria mutation. This makes each point of Toxicity increase the damage you deal with swords and sign intensity, which if you haven’t played The Witcher 3 will make no sense, and if you have, is understandably extremely cool.

Pair the mutation with four greater red mutagens to bump your attack power even further and raise your toxicity tolerance.

Activating skills that enhance your ability to get real toxic and equipping the Manticore armour which does the same thing will give you a huge toxicity capacity which you should then max out with decoctions. Then you get the bonuses of those decoctions plus the enormous damage buffs.

There are plenty more tweaks you can make from this point but in short, enjoy being nigh on unstoppable.
