Fellowship Hero Builds: Best Tank, Healer & DPS Builds with Stats, Rotations, and Legendaries

This guide provides a detailed overview of Fellowship’s hero builds and combat playstyles, divided across their primary roles: Tanks, Healers, and Damage Dealers. Each hero introduces distinct mechanics — from layered resource systems to tightly timed burst rotations — shaping how they perform across dungeons, adventures, and broader group content.

In this guide you’ll find:

• Full breakdowns for every Tank, Healer, and DPS hero currently available.
• Detailed rotations, stat priorities, and defensive or offensive cooldown loops.
• Updated legendary items and relic recommendations for each role.
• Notes on the latest balance changes affecting ability scaling and cooldown synergy.
• Core mechanical summaries explaining how each hero sustains, mitigates, or maximizes output in endgame content.

Best Tank Builds (Meiko, Helena)

Fellowship’s tanks are designed to soak damage and protect allies, establishing early threat and smoothing incoming damage.

Meiko Tank Build — Rotation, Stat Priority, Best Legendaries & Relics

Meiko is an agile, combo-driven protector. Her kit uses a combo system to unlock instant finishers that are central to her survivability and damage output. Several of her talents and finishers have been reworked, so older build paths may be suboptimal.

Core Mechanic: Combos & Finishers

Meiko’s gameplay revolves around two-step sequences built from three core abilities—Palm Strike, Kick, and Fist—yielding six possible pairings that unlock instant finishers. These combos are instant-cast, off the global cooldown, and serve distinct purposes. Certain combo sequences grant strong defensive buffs: for example, Spirit Palm → Wind Kick yields Spirited Strikes (a magic damage reduction buff) and Spirit Palm → Earth Fist yields Spirited Vortex (a dodge bonus plus AoE slow). These spirit buffs should be maintained constantly – whenever they expire, a new Palm-led sequence of the correct type can refresh them.

Each combo type features a “builder” finisher and a “spender” finisher. The builder applies a temporary buff or resource, which is then consumed by the spender finisher of the same type for a significantly empowered effect. The goal is to weave combos that apply buffs and then spend those buffs for extra mitigation and self-healing.

Key Abilities and Defensive Mechanics

Meiko’s signature defensive cooldown is Stone Shield: it spawns orbs around her, scales with stats, and generates shards that provide armor. Maintaining its uptime is critical. She also has Twin Souls: Bulwark, which splits her into two “siblings” for 20 seconds – one taunts enemies while the other takes 20% of damage dealt to the taunter. Meiko’s Serenity is an instant self-heal that grows stronger with each successive auto-attack.

Rotation & Buff Maintenance

In play, Meiko alternates combos to keep Spirited Strikes and Spirited Vortex active 100% of the time. When facing large packs, Wind Kick combos are used for AoE, while single targets favor Earth Fist combos. A typical loop might involve applying a buff with a Palm combo, then consuming it with a Fist or Kick combo for a burst of healing and damage. Each time Stone Shield drops, reapply it immediately to prevent mitigation gaps and spike deaths.

Gearing & Stat Priority

Stat Priority:

1. Agility (via item level)
2. Expertise / Critical Strike
3. Spirit (aim ~20%)
4. Haste

Legendary Item: The best-known legendary for Meiko is the Boots of Everlasting Spirit, which dramatically increases her Shield uptime and healing via Serenity. The Shattering Obelisk Drape (Back) and Necklace of Tectonic Impact are strong alternatives.

Relics: Saltwash Elixir (instant 40% max HP heal) and Sinbinding Stone (15% party DR buff) are excellent choices.

Helena Tank Build — Toughness, Rotation, Stat Priority, Best Legendaries & Relics

Helena uses a Toughness bar as her defensive resource. As her bar fills, she gains up to 70% damage reduction and increased block. Toughness is generated by using Shields Up or Shield Slam, and is lost whenever she takes damage. Her passive, Veteran of War, ties her cooldowns together.

Defensive Rotation

Shield Slam now has 2 charges (generating 20% Toughness) and its cooldown is reduced by Haste. A typical single-target rotation is to start with Shield Slam, then use Power Strike and Measured Strike alternately to feed cooldowns. Use Shockwave after major pulls to slow enemies. Always refresh Shields Up whenever it falls. When in danger, pop Iron Wall, which now guarantees no Toughness loss for 12 seconds.

Grand Melee (Incite)

Helena’s spirit ability Grand Melee is a powerful AoE lockdown. It “incites” all enemies in a large radius for 10 seconds, forcing them to only auto-attack her (effectively disabling their spells) and also grants 20% magic damage reduction to nearby allies. This is ideal for stopping caster mobs. Bosses are typically immune to the incite effect, but the 20% magic damage reduction still applies to allies.

Gearing & Stat Priority

Stat Priority:

1. Strength (via item level)
2. Haste (shorter CDs and GCD, faster Toughness regen)
3. Spirit (aim ~20%)
4. Expertise and Crit

Legendary Item: The preferred legendary is Vanguard’s Advance — Charge also triggers Shockwave and applies a brief 5% physical damage taken debuff to affected enemies.

Relics: Saltwash Elixir and Sinbinding Stone remain top relics for tanks.

Together, Meiko and Helena form Fellowship’s frontline. Meiko is highly reactive, weaving finishers for mitigation and healing, while Helena proactively maintains a high Toughness pool and uses powerful group-control tools.

Best Healer Builds (Vigour, Sylvie)

Fellowship’s healers blend proactive buffs with reactive heals.

Vigour Healer Build — Radiant Runes, Overcharge, Stat Priority, Best Legendaries & Relics

Vigour’s core mechanic is Radiant Runes. Damage spells generate runes, which fuel powerful healing spells. The mantra is “always be casting.”

Key abilities include Rune of Renewal, which is cast on the tank to provide an immediate big heal plus a buff that makes all healing on that target echo for +25%. Luminous Barrier is Vigour’s heavy absorb shield. Soulbrand is a situational DoT on enemies that generates some runes. Recent buffs have significantly increased the healing of Radiant Blast and Circle of Light.

If talented into Grand Design, many spells can be “overcharged” to hit multiple targets, though the benefit has been slightly reduced, so treat overcharge as a planned AoE tool rather than a default opener. In practice, this means casting an overcharged Rune of Renewal on the whole party at the start of a pull, then overcharging Soulbrand on clusters of enemies to bank runes.

Gearing & Stat Priority

Stat Priority:

1. Intellect (via item level)
2. Critical Strike / Expertise
3. Spirit
4. Haste

Legendary Items: Vigour’s top legendaries include the Celestial Beacon (Back) and Staff of Serendipity (Weapon).

Relics: Sinbinding Stone for a party-wide DR cooldown and the Chalice of Al’zerac’s Essence (which restores mana) are top picks.

Sylvie Healer Build — Flutterflies/Flowers, Weaving, Stat Priority, Best Legendaries & Relics

Sylvie’s healing revolves around Flutterflies and Flowers. She starts encounters by assigning Pink Flutterflies to allies for passive healing. The Blue Flutterfly is used to augment healing: placing it on the tank causes that target to receive 100% increased healing from Flutterflies, while keeping it on Sylvie boosts all Flutterfly healing (and reduces costs) instead.

Sylvie’s reactive heal is Restore Life, which consumes two active Pink Flutterflies. A technique called “weaving” involves inserting another GCD cast between two Restores to maximize Flutterfly uptime.

Her cooldown heals are Life Petal and Heart Bloom. Heart Bloom is a “ramp-up” heal: when cast, it stores a percentage of all Flutterfly healing done, then pulses that total out to all allies. Fluttercall: Jubilee is Sylvie’s ultimate, an emergency group heal and regen tool. The talent formerly called Iron Bark is now Ironleaf Ward.

Gearing & Stat Priority

Stat Priority:

1. Intellect (via item level)
2. Expertise (healing power)
3. Haste (faster heal ticks)
4. Spirit

Legendary Item: A must-have legendary is the Amulet of Unyielding Bloom (Neck), which turns 75% of overhealing from Heart Bloom into an absorb shield. The Mossy Veil of the Woodlands (Back) is another strong option.

Combined, Vigour and Sylvie cover the heal spectrum: Vigour provides burst shields and sustained heals via runes, while Sylvie excels at long-term regen and big ramping cooldowns.

Best DPS Builds (Tariq, Mara, Elarion, Rime, Ardeos)

Fellowship’s DPS heroes each have unique playstyles and rhythms.

Tariq DPS Build — Hammer Storm, Swing Timer, Rotation, Stat Priority & Legendaries

Tariq’s damage revolves around Fury and his auto-attack swing timer. Heavy Strike should be used right before each auto-attack to maximize damage. His goal is to spam Hammer Storm (spinning AOE) repeatedly. While Spirit is key to refunding Fury for this playstyle, high-end builds prioritize other stats for maximum damage.

Rotation: Tariq aligns his cooldowns for giant burst windows: use the weapon’s active skill, then Thunder Call + his ultimate, then Leap Smash – then unleash multiple Hammer Storms.

Stat Priority

Stat Priority:

1. Strength (via item level)
2. Haste
3. Crit
4. Expertise and Spirit

Legendary Items: Best-in-slot choices vary by content; prioritize pieces that extend Thunder Call windows or accelerate cooldowns.

Mara DPS Builds — Bleed/Hybrid & Malevolence: Rotations, Stat Priority, Best Legendaries

Mara uses energy and combo points to fuel powerful finishers. Her damage has been buffed, with Brooding Shadows poisons and Hemorrhaging Strike bleeds dealing more damage. She has two main builds: a versatile Bleed/Hybrid build and a highly complex Malevolence build.

• Bleed/Hybrid Build: This build stacks bleeds on enemies and uses talents like From the Shadows and Hemotoxin. The rotation focuses on keeping the poison from Widow’s Bite active and applying her bleed Hemorrhaging Strike on many enemies.
• Malevolence Build: This build forces the use of “off-spec” finishers to generate powerful buffs. The rotation alternates between a Prep Phase (dumping the “wrong” finishers) and a Burst Phase where the goal is to set up a devastating grievous critical strike. Stealth windows via Brooding Shadows are central—use them to prime openers and force high-value finishers during burst.

Stat Priority and Gearing

Stat Priority:

1. Agility (via item level)
2. Haste
3. Crit
4. Expertise and Spirit

Legendary Item: The target legendary is Treads of Vexira’s Prey (Feet). The Stalker’s Crimson Veil (Cloak) is another strong option.

Weapon: Her best weapon is Fateful Dagger, which grants an Expertise buff and greatly accelerates cooldown recovery for 6s on use.

Elarion DPS Build — Lunarlight Mark, AoE/Single-Target Rotations, Stat Priority & Legendaries

Elarion’s kit centers on “Focus” resource and a stacking Lunarlight Mark. Applying the Mark to a target gives Elarion a chance to fire a Lunarlight Salvo (an extra damage bolt).

Rotation: In AoE, Elarion uses Lunar Volley to apply the mark, then spams Starfall Volley and Highwind Arrow to generate Multi-Shot charges. In single-target, he applies the Mark to the boss, opens with Heartseeker Barrage, and uses Celestial Shot as a main spender.

Stat Priority

Stat Priority:

1. Agility (via item level)
2. Haste (greatly increasing Focus regen and tick rates)
3. Expertise
4. Critical Strike and Spirit

Legendary Items: His legendaries include the Shimmering Silver Cape (Back), Chain of Starstriker’s Ascent (Neck), and Master Astronomer’s Sabatons (Feet).

Relics: Use defensive or utility relics appropriate to the content; Saltwash Elixir for emergencies and Sinbinding Stone for group DR remain universally strong.

Rime DPS Build — Winter Orbs, Burst Windows, Haste Breakpoints, Stat Priority & Legendaries

Rime’s damage revolves around Winter’s Embrace windows. Her primary resource is Anima, which is converted into Winter Orbs (up to a cap of 5). When her talent Winter’s Embrace procs, she gains a short burst window where her ultimate, Wrath of Winter, now grants a +20% damage bonus. In practice, Rime “banks” Orbs and then unleashes Bursting Ice to activate the window, immediately followed by Glacial Blast or Ice Comet.

Stat Priority

Stat Priority:

1. Intellect (via item level)
2. Haste (to breakpoint)
3. Crit
4. Expertise and Spirit

Haste breakpoints matter for Winter Orb generation and spell tick alignment; aim for the next comfortable GCD/tick tier for your gear level.

Legendary Item: While the Skandi’s Sabatons were strong previously, the Drakesblood Tapestry (Back) now synergizes best with her Freezing Torrent burst rotation.

Relics: Use defensive or utility relics appropriate to the content; Saltwash Elixir for emergencies and Sinbinding Stone for group DR remain universally strong.

Ardeos DPS Build — Cinders/Detonate, Big/Small Burns, Stat Priority & Legendaries

Ardeos is a fire mage who excels at DoT combos. He generates Cinders from his DoTs, which fuel Detonate, an instant burst that now deals 2.5 seconds worth of DoT damage. His playstyle alternates between a Big Burn and smaller burn phases.

His core DoTs are Searing Blaze and Engulfing Flames, supplemented by Fireball and Fire Frogs. His ultimate Wildfire flares all DoTs to tick faster. In large packs, he opens with Apocalypse, which has had its damage doubled, to spread burns everywhere.

Stat Priority

Stat Priority:

1. Intellect (via item level)
2. Haste (ticks faster, more Cinders, faster casts)
3. Crit
4. Expertise and Spirit

Ardeos Stat Priority & Best Legendaries: His legendaries include the Frayed Cloak of Explosive Potency (Back), Pendant of the Untamed Flame (Neck), and Apocalyptic Brimstone Boots (Feet).

Relics: Use defensive or utility relics appropriate to the content; Saltwash Elixir for emergencies and Sinbinding Stone for group DR remain universally strong.
