Full Build Details

This build was created through the use of a bunch of nerds in a Discord chat wondering what the worst possible Outward build was. Thanks to Sk0oMa and Fallen for the contributions.

But back to the build, as we have this menace to society to talk about.

To start out, the most important piece. You get to take a total of zero mana points. Yes, you heard me. Zero. All those mana-related breakthroughs and the Rust Lich Set? Sorry. Not really that great now.

And for your faction quests, make sure that you achieve the worst possible outcome for every quest, that way you only get Sanctified Protection, as well as receiving Painful Sacrifice. Also, don't get the Chapel building or Gladiator's Arena in New Sirocco. No Elatt's Intervention or Vital Crash for you.

Also let Cierzo get destroyed, and don't take the Tier 1 skills from the Kazite Spellblade. Other than that, you're free to take whatever skills you want. Except that you have to take Nightmares from the Hex Mage. You're welcome.

From there, go ahead and try to beat the game. You won't. You weapon will quite literally deal 1.32 damage per hit (not considering enemy resistances), and Prismatic Flurry is almost worthless because you don't have mana, although you still do have potions. But good luck lugging those around when you have the worst backpack. Technically speaking, the forge stones are worse, but you have to get rid of them to beat the game, and it's only fair to let you try.

Your only consolation is that you'll have 6 Protection, 50% Physical Damage Resist, and 36% Impact Resist. Gotta have some buffs somewhere, I guess.

I'd also recommend having multiple pairs of Cloth Knuckles.

Good luck.
