Garden of Witches Best Builds

After the 1.0 combat overhaul, builds in Garden of Witches are built from Scissors, Spells, Imprints and Relics. You choose your loadout from the Armory before each run, then strengthen the abilities you love as you progress.

Quick answer: the strongest builds pick Scissors and Spells you're comfortable with, then use Imprints to reshape them and Relics for passive power. The game offers a set pool of upgrades each run, so adapt to what you're offered.

Build Around Your Loadout

Before a run, choose your Scissors, Spells and Special Skills from the Armory. Because runs offer a limited pool of upgrades, flexible loadouts that work with many Imprints tend to perform best.

Imprints & Relics

Imprints reshape how familiar skills behave from run to run, and Relics add passive bonuses. Some players find the Relic pool small and effects damage/cooldown focused — experiment to see which combos feel strongest for you.
