Last Epoch – New Maxroll Branch

Last Epoch has been a fan favorite ARPG through it's testing phases, and the Maxroll Team in Partnership with Eleventh Hour Games is ready to release our brand new branch! We've been working closely with EHG to make the best content possible and want to give a special shoutout to Steve, Michael (Boards), Kain and Judd for providing so much help for us along the way. Our team has been playing since the early testing phases of the game and created a comprehensive suite of content about everything you'd ever want to know about Last Epoch. This post introduces our team, showcases the sections of our new branch, and discusses our future plans. Enjoy!

Meet The Team

Our Last Epoch team has some of the most knowledgeable Travelers form Eterra, and you might already see some familiar faces. Here are the creators that will cover this title throughout early access and for years to come:

LizardIRL has been playing Last Epoch at a high level for years. He has invested a huge amount of time learning the game, theory crafting builds and making educational content. By the time LE Multiplayer launched, he already had thousands of hours played driven by his competitive nature and desire to improve. His builds and min/maxing rules have shaped the meta, establishing him as a top build maker and theory crafter. LizardIRL livestreams his Rank 1 Arena pushes and has dominated both SC and HC ladders.

McFluffin has been playing and making content for Last Epoch since the Alpha. He has also been a Community Tester since the implementation of the program, which has allowed him to provide feedback to Eleventh Hour Games on pre release builds since 2020. With degrees in both science and philosophy, McFluffin applies the analytical processes he's learned to build making, efficiency, and a better understanding of the inner workings of the games he plays. Despite all of that, his favorite thing to do is be weird on Twitch while hanging out with his friendly and welcoming community.

Terek has been playing Last Epoch consistently since 2020, along with streaming and creating videos on YouTube. He fell in love with Last Epoch after putting too many hours into PoE and D3, so much so that he decided to speedrun it! He has been consistently pushing boundaries of what is possible in Last Epoch through his speedruns and has established most of the leveling strategies used today.

Class Leveling Guides

Our team has created Leveling Guides for every Class and Mastery in Last Epoch.

Class Endgame Guides

If you're following one of our Leveling Guides you'll find that the endgame in Last Epoch approaches fast. The game's difficulty increases significantly faster in the endgame than the campaign. To prepare for this we've been testing builds throughout the recent patches and have a robust list of builds that will hold up well in Patch 0.9. We'll be playing these and many others throughout the multiplayer launch and plan to update our content as we go. Here are some of our favorite builds we've played so far:

• Hungering Souls Lich
