We go over our top 5 League Starters for Lake of Kalandra for PoE and help you find the perfect fit for your league goals.
#5: Righteous Fire Inquisitor
-Build received a significant nerf to single target w/Fire changes.
-Still a top tier starter if you want to play a tanky character w/great mapping.
-Near unkillable character lategame once you have Melding and Aegis Aurora.
-Do not play this if you intend to rush Uber Bosses early game.
-DPS scaling is lacking even with perfect gear.
#4: Poisonous Concoction Pathfinder/Occultist
-Played on Occultist (Mapping Oriented) or Pathfinder (Single-target Oriented)
-Great base of damage due to Plaguebearer and only needing a life flask to scale damage.
-Single target will be an issue until you can run clusters.
-Extremely fast mapping w/Plaguebearer and Occultist Explosions.
#3: Elementalist Maw of Mischief
-Level w/Armageddon Brand/Cremation into Detonate Dead or Wave of Conviction Ignite.
-Cemetery is now a T12 Map, so you will need to farm PoE currency until you can afford the helmet.
-Once you can afford the helmet, you can swap over to Maw of Mischief.
-Maw of Mischief allows you to blow up your minions, allowing for incredible single target.
-Reach up to 10M+ Ignite DPS on league start gear.
-Helmet might be more expensive due to MF Groups not running Cemetery.
#2: Venom Gyre/Helix Deadeye
-End up switching to Venom Gyre after Cruel Lab.
-Venom Gyre's map clear is crazy due to chains, forks, and offscreen coverage.
-Venom Gyre's single target is respectable due to shotgunning potential w/Whirling Blades and Tornado,
-Uber boss viable if you swap in Helix gem and respect your Ascendancy into Far Shot.

Precise Technique Spectral Helix

Final Thoughts for Venom Gyre Deadeye Leveling Guide
-Venom Gyre was around same speed as Spectral Helix if you swap after Cruel Lab at Act 7.
-Venom Gyre completely blows away Spectral Helix in terms of early mapping speed.
-Map boss DPS is slightly worse on Venom Gyre, but the map bosses will still die more or less instantly.
-Standing next to wall is a huge DPS Increase due to Ricochet allowing to chain projectiles off the wall back to the boss.
#1: Helix/Lightning Strike Raider/Champion/Berserker
-Can be played on Champion, Raider, or Berserker.
-Have to play Helix until at least Maps. (Some people hate helix)
-Build has incredible scaling with gear, allowing you to constantly upgrade your gear to trivialize -Uber Bosses.
-Lightning Strikers has amazing map clear due to "Additional Strikes".
Final Thoughts
-Choose a League Starter with strength that fits your goals for the league.
-Make sure you enjoy the playstyle of your league starter.
-Be wary of the price of certain build-enabling uniques.
-Lightning Conduit is very strong, but the 2-button playstyle is not for us. (Orb of Storms is probably the best trigger.)
