Before we discuss the best build for your Raider in the Crucible League, let's first talk about what the Crucible League is all about. Path of Exile introduced us to Crucible in April of 2023, and both longtime fans and newcomers to the game alike have been completely smitten by the league's additional content on top of an already epic game.

The Crucible League allows you to create godlike weapons by adding an additional Crucible Passive Skill Tree. This amazing Skill Tree adds tremendous power to your weapons of choice, helping you defeat even the most powerful of adversaries scattered throughout Wraeclast.

For both old and new Path of Exile players, the Nightblade Flicker Strike Raider build is definitely a good starting point. Completing this build may not be as simple as you might think, but it is definitely worth it. Starting off, the budget for this build is a bit on the expensive side, but not so expensive that it will break your coin purse. It's still feasible as long as you are willing to put the work in.

The Nightblade Flicker Strike build is also considered one of the fastest Path of Exile builds you can create, allowing you to clear hordes of enemies and dungeons in no time. The survivability rate is also quite superior since the build focuses on a high evasion rating, which is especially useful during boss fights. Speaking of boss fights, the damage your Raider can inflict on bosses is insane as long as you're able to keep up with the right skills and equipment.

Mods you should be on the lookout for, whether on gems or gear, should be focused on Elemental Support Damage, Elemental Resistances, Critical Strike Chance, Added Lightning Damage, and Added Fire Damage. These are crucial for this build as it maximizes your Raider's potential to deal incredible damage while sustaining injuries dealt by enemies.

Be on the lookout as well for Unique items such as the Perseverance Vanguard Belt (which helps increase attack damage), the Yoke of Suffering Amulet (which turns all of your damage into Shock), and Farrul's Fur (which amplifies your Frenzy to peak levels). Do all of this, and you'll be conquering all of Wraeclast with absolute ease.
