Soulbound: Online Build Planner

Soulbound: Online has no fixed classes — your power comes from combining up to three active abilities, a weapon archetype, and dungeon relic paths that change every run. Use this planner to sketch a loadout before spending gold on upgrades at Fritz's Lab or pushing Hard-tier beacons with friends.

How the Build Planner Works

Select your preferred combat role, pick three abilities that synergize, and choose a weapon type that matches those skills. The planner suggests relic focus paths based on community Early Access meta — Bulwark for tanks, Pyrosphere Firing Squad for burst DPS, and buff-power relics for healers.

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is saved to a server; copy your summary to Discord or notes before a co-op session. For detailed written guides, compare results with our Pyrosphere DPS build and support healer guide.

Ability Synergy Tips

Knowledge abilities like Pyrosphere and Healing Pulse scale with Knowledge skill level. Dexterity abilities such as Bomb and Chakram reward manual aim in bullet-heaven rooms. Technology abilities — Fortify and Drone — excel in co-op where auras cover allies.

Avoid spreading across four unrelated skill trees early. Two primary skills plus one utility ability creates stronger relic pools inside dungeons. Check the abilities tier list before locking choices.

  • DPS starter: Pyrosphere + Fortify + Bomb
  • Safe solo: Gleam Twins + Healing Pulse + Fortify
  • Co-op support: Healing Pulse + Fortify + Drone
  • Tank: Fortify + melee weapon + Bulwark relics

Weapon and Relic Alignment

Weapons gate which ability relics appear during dungeon runs. A heavy weapon unlocks stun-focused relics useful for tanks; ranged weapons favor Marksmanship abilities like Gleam Twins. Upgrade weapons at Fritz's Lab for permanent meta bonuses separate from run-based relic picks.

Inside dungeons, pick relics that amplify your core ability — not random passives. After eight ability relics and weapon relics, the pool fills with generic passives. Read relic tier list for priority paths.

When to Respec

Soulbound allows instant respecs outside dungeon runs. Experiment in Normal-tier Eastern Reach before committing expensive mats to Legendary upgrades. Hybrid builds remain viable through Chapter 1 and into Spectra prep — see dodge hybrid build for alternate survival strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this planner save my build?
No. The planner is a client-side helper. Use the copy button to paste your loadout summary into notes or share with party members.
How many abilities can I equip?
You typically run three active abilities in combat, unlocked through the Ability Configurator after the Learning the Ropes quest chain on Beginner's Bay.
What is the best beginner combo?
Pyrosphere plus Fortify offers strong AoE with shields. For easier survival, Gleam Twins with Healing Pulse is more forgiving while learning dungeon patterns.
Do relics persist after a dungeon?
No. Relic choices reset each run. Permanent upgrades come from Fritz's Lab, gear forging, and quest rewards — not mid-run relic picks.
