Last Epoch: Best Warpath Void Knight endgame build (Season 3)

The Void Knight Archetype of the Sentinel class is one of the strongest melee classes in Last Epoch, and the Warpath Void Knight stands at the top of the current meta. The build revolves around the Warpath skill, which allows you to rip through enemies with massive AoE Void damage while stacking massive buffs to sustain the damage output.

In this guide, we will break down everything you need to know, from skills and passives to itemization, idols, blessings, and the gameplay loop.

Pros and Cons of the Warpath Void Knight

Pros:

Fantastic AoE and clear speed
Extremely high single-target damage
Simple, spin-to-win gameplay
Doesn’t need Uniques early in the game

Cons:

Skill setup for the Warpath Void Knight build in Last Epoch Season 3

The Warpath Void Knight is completely around the Warpath, which has very high Void damage scaling. With specialization nodes like Warrior’s Fury, Warpath can deal significantly more multiplicative damage for each second of continuous spin but costs more Mana, which can be mitigated by the Void Well skill node. This allows you to devour void essence to instantly retrieve 30% of your total mana.

Core skill setup:

1) Warpath

This is your primary damage skill. Gain massive amounts of AoE damage with Warrior’s Fury and slash through all surrounding enemies. This also automatically casts Abyssal Echos every five seconds using the Abyssal Tempest node.

2) Devouring Orb

This DoT skill deals continuous damage for 20 seconds at the target location. You can get guaranteed void essence from the Abyssal Juggernaut node, which feeds into Void Well to mitigate Mana loss.

While you are moving through the battlefield, you can auto-cast Devouring Orb if you have the Abyssal Rush node.

3) Anomaly

Set it up for dealing massive amounts of Time Rot and Time Bubble debuffs on enemies. Using the Immediacy, you can get the effects immediately, without having to send enemies back in time.

4) Abyssal Echoes

You can cast this skill automatically while using Warpath. Abyssal Echoes grants you Nether Coating for five seconds using the Embrace the Darkness node. While Nether Coating is active, you deal increased damage to blinded enemies; this can be achieved using the Myopia node.

5) Symbols of Hope

You can gain 20% increased health regeneration for this skill as well as additional Fire damage, which can be converted to Void damage using the Symbols of Despair node.

While Iron Symbols (gain additional Endurance), Empowering Symbols (gain increased damage output), and Heavenly Justice (gain increased crit strike chance per symbol) are fantastic picks for getting valuable buffs for you and your party.

How to play Warpath Void Knight in Last Epoch Season 3

The auto-cast capability of Warpath makes the build easier to play against mobs and bosses (Image via Eleventh Hour Games)

The gameplay loop for the Warpath Void Knight is simple but extremely effective at melting bosses and clearing mobs in Last Epoch; all it needs is Mana management and proper timing:

Mapping and Clearing

Channel Warpath to build up AoE stacks with Warrior’s Fury, while it auto-casts Abyssal Echoes, which deals Void damage over time for five seconds.
Warpath is a Mana-hungry skill, so casting Devouring Orb is necessary to get Mana back from void essence.

Bossing

Cast Anomaly to pour in buffs and debuffs. Cast Warpath and cleave through bosses while stacking damage. Spin for at least 2 seconds and move 4 meters to trigger Echo Knight to create a Warpath echo.
Thanks to the Void Well node, Mana is now sustained via void essence from the Devouring Orb. So Warpath can be channeled for a longer period, dealing massive amounts of stacked damage.

The Warpath Void Knight is built for highly aggressive gameplay in Last Epoch, with stacking AoE, massive buffs from Anomaly, and high mobility.

Best Passive setup for the Warpath Void Knight in Last Epoch Season 3

Void Knight Passive tree

Sentinel Base

Overwhelm - Adds physical damage to your melee attacks and increases their chance to stun.
Juggernaut - Each point of Strength increases armor by 4% and improves skills that scale with Strength, like Warpath and Rive.
Fearless - Each point of Vitality grants 6 Health and 1% Poison and Necrotic resistance.
Armor Clad - Adds armor and reduces the damage you take from nearby enemies (multiplicative with other modifiers)
Blademaster - You have increased attack and cast speed while you have a sword or axe equipped.

Void Knight archetype

Void Corruption - Your critical strikes deal more damage for each passive point you have invested in the Void Knight tree.
Dark Maw - Wherever you kill an enemy, you have a chance to absorb 5% of their health.
Singular Purpose - You deal more Void damage (multiplicative with other modifiers). This effect is doubled if you have less than a 30% block chance.
Essence of the End - You have a chance to gain Void Essence on kill. Void Essence lasts eight seconds and grants 3% more void damage and 3% more melee damage (both multiplicative with other modifiers) and 15% reduced duration of stuns on you.
Echoing Strikes - Your melee attacks, throwing attacks, and void spells have a higher chance to be echoed one second later.
Time Legion - You have increased melee and throwing attack speed. Your melee attacks, throwing attacks, and void spells have a higher chance to be echoed one second later.
Mortal Cleave- You gain Mortal Cleave when you hit an enemy that is on low health (below 35%).
Void Well - While you have three or more Void Essences, if you drop below zero mana, you consume three Void Essences to set mana to 30% of your maximum mana pool.
