Here we sort out the Top 10 Best PoE 3.20 Forbidden Sanctum Builds for you to start the brand new league effectively and go through new Ruthless hardcore mode smoothly.
What's the Best League Starter Build in Path of Exile 3.20 Forbidden Sanctum?
Before going over our Top 10 POE 3.20 League Starter Builds, let's talk about the main factors you should consider when making the build for the new Forbidden Sanctum league:
First off, what should you look for in a league starter is really good early scaling, this means either you're using common uniques or rares without influence modifiers, and other things that you won't be able to get. It also means you want enough single-target damage to be able to progress your Atlas, enough reliable defenses that it's not miserable while you do it, and a really good clear speed to do as many Maps as possible. Does roguelike mode Forbidden Sanctum change this? Honestly not really, Mobility is important and defenses are maybe a little bit less important than they might be in other leagues. Aside from that not too many changes here.

Now let's go over the best builds you should take a try in the Path of Exile 3.20 Forbidden Sanctum League:
No. 1 - Hexblast Ignite Build
Hexblast has gotten a lot of changes going from 3.19 to 3.20. It no longer requires Doom to build up to deal optimal damage, and it still has the absurdly high base damage, this comes at the cost of a one-second cast time and this cast time is also added onto the cooldown of the skills when you trigger it, so cast iron crit hexblast is looking pretty dead. On the one hand Ignite hexblast does do less damage than it used to, but on the other, it's a much higher quality of life and has a much lower damage delay, so it'll feel pretty much the same in most circumstances. At the very least, it's safe to say it has more often enough damage to clear content even with all the changes.
Another interesting feature of hexblast in particular is that you don't need to play it on an Elementalist to gain the benefit that all damage can ignite freeze and shock, this means that you can get some pretty crazy Inquisitor or even Chieftain Hexblast builds.
Hexblast Build Pros & Cons
+ Great smooth clear speed
+ Amazing tackiness
+ All-rounded utility
+ Low single-target
- Gets expensive later on

Top 2 - Spark Inquisitor Build
Spark Inquisitor has gotten a massive number of quality-of-life buffs recently and overall is a great mapper, it worked really well in enclosed areas so it should be excellent for the sanctum league. Plus Inquisitor is a very high quality of life that feels good ascendancy so you can be guaranteed that you're going to have a good time. And if you try it and ultimately hate spark, luckily you're on an Inquisitor - one of the most versatile casters currently in Path of Exile. It should be noted Inquisitor isn't as tanky as a juggernaut, so you will have to pay attention to your physical defenses. But with buffs to unique items like lightning coil, your defenses shouldn't be too hard to figure out and things like the new amulet do offer some interesting options for Elemental mitigation. One important thing to remember about spark, each cast results in multiple hits so the damage as it looks on paper will be a lot lower than the damage as it looks in Path of Exile, again, especially in closed spaces. The reason we wanted to go for this is it should be ideal for sanctum when enemies are forced into close proximity with your Sparks.
Spark Inquisitor Pros & Cons
+ League starter
+ New player friendly
+ Well-rounded defenses and very safe clear
+ Long distance, freezes and shatters foes
+ Excellent clear and movement speed
- Certain Map affixes are not possible or annoying to deal with
- Mediocre single target damage before end-game gear
- Not designed to facetank single large hits

Top 3 - Venom Gyre Deadeye Build
During 3.18 and 3.19, Venom Gyre has been regarded as one of the most powerful attack skills, this is because it has really good screen coverage when combined with a fork, and you can use shotgunning effects to absolutely blast bosses. It's a little bit harder to play than the previous builds because positioning is important and timing your rolling blades correctly does matter. It is getting hit by the Nightblade Nerf but it also has so much damage that it really never needed Nightblade. Plus we're getting Venom Gyre and who knows how powerful that could be. One thing that attracted us to Venom Gyre is if a forbidden sanctum is going to require mobility why not play a skill whose damage scales off its mobility? Plus it should have some really easy leveling options because you can use items like white wind or issue Venom Gyre entirely and just level up with Spectro Helix like you normally would for the lightning strike and swap over from there. It should be noted that if you're familiar with a spectral helix build or lightning strike build, this Venom Gyre Deadeye build really is kind of the same build but with a little bit of a different skin so let's take a look at how people are building it.
Venom Gyre Deadeye Pros& Cons
+ Elusive is an absolute Juicer for everything
+ Unique play style with Venom Gyre for clearing and bossing
+ Combo of Freezing, Good Dodge and Evasion makes you a slipperyjim
+ Fork + GMP Will give us heaps of Projectiles to catch
+ No Mana Problems
- Can't do No Leech Mods on Maps
- Unpredictable game feel, as it is a brand new gam (looks good tho)
- Fairly low life, big balls playstyle
- Price will ramp up quick, some of the juicy end game uniques are expensive early on

Top 4 - Righteous Fire Juggernaught Build
Righteous Fire Juggernaught is a fun build to experience, we can recommend this build in 3.20 because we now have two ways to stop monsters from regenerating life, one from the new Raslata's Pantheon and another from a Mastery that will be added into the passive tree. Because with curse changes that truck got buffed, and most of Pinnacle bosses had 66% less effective curses on them that means Ellie Weakness was really giving like -14 res instead off 44, that's an insane damage increase for any Elemental build and more so for any Elemental dot build, now that we can super abuse curses like Punishment which increase damage taken. So that's why the fire elemental build will be meta in POE 3.20 league.
Righteous Fire Juggernaught Pros & Cons
+ Extremely tanky & forgiving
+ Great to learn all content in the game on
+ Viable in every scenario, be it SSF or HC
+ Being the Burning Man has a satisfying feel to it
+ Great recovery
+ Incredibly cheap to get off the ground
- The build will never have excess DPS; it will always just about be enough
- Really enjoys leveling up, so you want to level as high as possible
- Requires Uniques to play it while leveling to avoid respeccing

Top 5 - Cold Dot Oculus Build
This is the current meta in the Ruthless Alpha mode where items and support gems are severely hard to obtain. With the buff to Frostbite Elemental weakness and Arctic armor, this will be a super smooth leak starter in 3.20. We can recommend any of the top SFF ruthless builds that use Vortex, Vaal Cold Snap, and Creeping Frost.
Cold Dot Oculus Pros & Cons
+ Kills any boss in the game while staying safe
+ Solid choice to learn boss fights as you’ll have a lot of spare time
+ Doesn’t require any high end Rare items
+ Hardcore viable as it is incredibly tanky
- Doesn’t reach optimal numbers easily in Solo-Self Found

Top 6 - Lightning Conduit Elementalist Build
You might notice the numerical nerves to this skill from patch notes, however, if they had added a cool down to this skill, it would not survive ever again. With the core mechanic of the lightning conduit being the same, we can assure you a smooth leak start with it. We would suggest using stormbrand instead of orb of storms until you reach the end game. The endgame version can clear maps with the orb of storms even without the main skill and the unique boots.
Lightning Conduit Elementalist Pros & Cons
+ Insane DPS based on Skill Gems and Passives alone
+ Smooth Leveling
+ League Starter
+ Decent clear speed
+ Unique Play Style
- Upgrades Get Expensive
- Complex playstyle

Top 7 - Summon Raging Spirit Necromancer Build
Summon Raging Spirit always could be your secret leveling building in Scotland, this required you to reach the minion instability Keystone quickly, we would recommend trying an SIS build from a professional minion expert. In 3.19, the ignite damage of minions was buffed making this, even more, better, if you are playing the trade League, the unique items are cheaply obtainable. Try it only if you enjoy this play style.
Summon Raging Spirit Necro Pros & Cons
+ Easy to do on a budget

+ League Starter
+ Can do all map mods

Top 8 - Poison Seismic Trap Build
With the buff to Temple chains and despair curse effect on bosses, poison seismic trap will be widely played by high-end players at League start since it has excellent AOE provided by Exsangunate, strong single-target damage thanks to Seismic Trap, and great sustainability based on Saboteur's unique keystones. This skill can still melt bosses. Some skills require a bigger Nerf to kill. In the 3.19 league, though it has an average map clearing speed, it is a very good one boss damage, so good for farming solo bosses.
Poison Seismic Trap Pros & Cons
+ Great AoE
+ Strong single-target damage
+ Good sustainability
+ Can do all the Maps
- Mana issues are common

Top 9 - Carrion Golem Build
It is very likely that the primordial jewels deterministic source will be discovered by someone within the first week of the league. One week after 3.19, we had an easy leveling experience trying his build, after act 5 by dual wielding the newly reworked clay shapers which we got for 10 chaos each, and stacking carrion golems, you can sit back and cruise through your way. This might only be viable in the trade League.
Carrion Golem Pros & Cons
+ Good league starter with low budget
+ Insanely overpowered with medium budget
+ Incredibly tanky & reliable for end-game bossing
+ Can be played in SSF with Primordial Jewels
- Requires you to drop a lot of damage to circumvent the lack of Primordial Jewels

Top 10 - Toxic Rain Champion Build
Toxic Rain Champion has been recognized as one of the best beginner-friendly league starter builds. When you use the bow attack Toxic Rain, once your initial arrows hit the ground, Spore Pods are produced; these Spore Pods inflict a significant amount of Chaos Damage over time before dying and dealing additional Chaos Damage. Because the damage from Spore Pods can overlap, stacking AoE lengthened Duration, and increased Attack Speed is especially helpful. This guide's objective is to provide you with the information you require at the precise moment you require it, without being overly complicated or demanding in terms of prior knowledge.
Toxic Rain Champion Pros & Cons
+ Beginner and casual friendly
+ Best league starter build
+ Great defenses and very tanky
