Build Guide -- Lies of P

Optimize your character with Strength, Technique, Advance, Hybrid, and NG+ build strategies.

Strength Build

  • 1Motivity builds focus on raw physical damage using heavy weapons like greatswords and large blunt weapons.
  • 2Prioritize leveling Motivity and Vitality for maximum damage output while maintaining survivability.
  • 3Best weapons include the Tyrant Murderer and Big Pipe Wrench -- both scale excellently with Motivity.
  • 4Use the Flamberge blade with a Motivity-scaling handle for an early-game weapon that carries into mid-game.
  • 5P-Organ upgrades should focus on increasing stagger damage and perfect guard windows for this playstyle.

Technique Build

  • 1Technique builds excel with fast, precise weapons like rapiers and daggers that scale with the Technique stat.
  • 2Prioritize Technique and Stamina to maintain aggressive combos without running out of attack resources.
  • 3The Puppet Ripper and Acidic Crystal Spear are top-tier Technique weapons with excellent scaling.
  • 4Focus on Fable Arts that complement quick attacks -- chain combos into weapon skills for burst damage.
  • 5P-Organ upgrades should enhance dodge mechanics and stamina recovery to support the aggressive playstyle.

Advance Build

  • 1Advance builds utilize elemental and status effect damage, scaling weapons with the Advance stat for unique effects.
  • 2Prioritize Advance alongside Capacity to equip heavier Legion Arms that complement elemental damage.
  • 3The Electric Coil Stick and Acidic weapons are strong choices that inflict status buildup alongside direct damage.
  • 4Use throwable items and Grindstones to stack additional elemental damage on top of your weapon scaling.
  • 5P-Organ upgrades should focus on elemental damage bonuses and status effect duration extensions.

Hybrid Builds

  • 1Hybrid builds split stats between two scaling types, offering versatility at the cost of peak damage in either stat.
  • 2Motivity/Technique hybrids work well with weapons like the Booster Glaive that scale with both stats.
  • 3Use weapon assembly to combine a blade scaling with one stat and a handle scaling with another for balanced output.
  • 4Keep your secondary stat at roughly 60-70% of your primary stat to maintain damage efficiency.
  • 5Hybrid builds shine against bosses with varied resistances since you can swap between different damage types.

NG+ Builds

  • 1NG+ allows further stat investment -- consider pushing your primary stat to soft cap (40-50) before diversifying.
  • 2Upgraded boss weapons become available in NG+ and often outperform standard weapons at maximum enhancement.
  • 3Re-spec is available at Hotel Krat, allowing you to experiment with builds you could not afford in the first run.
  • 4NG+ enemies have significantly more health -- pure damage builds become more valuable than status effect builds.
  • 5Consider a full Motivity build with the Frozen Feast weapon for one of the strongest NG+ setups available.
