Gloria Victis has no classes. A "build" is an attribute split across Strength, Constitution and Dexterity, plus a maxed weapon skill, a passive-perk loadout, and an armor-weight choice (light / medium / heavy, mixed by piece). Pick a ready-made archetype below, or allocate your own points in the calculator.

How Stats Work
Constitution
Survivability — HP and damage reduction. Highest-HP builds and the best bludgeon defense.

Dexterity
Ranged (bow) damage — "directly affects how powerful your arrow shots are." The archer stat.

Stat priority follows your goal: melee DPS leans Strength, survivability/frontline leans Constitution, ranged leans Dexterity. One rule for everyone — never dump Strength to the floor on a light-armor build; it buys stamina and slash resistance you can't survive without. Full breakdown in the stats & skills guide.
