Build Strategy

Slingshot Stat Stacker

The Apprentice gains flat Melee, Ranged, and Elemental damage every level but loses Max HP. The best approach is using Slingshots. As a 'Primitive' weapon, they provide Max HP to mitigate the character's downside, while the character's passive provides the flat damage the Slingshot lacks.

You can use weapons that utilize multiple stats like the Plank (Melee/Elemental/Engineering) or Thunder Sword to leverage the all-around damage gain.
