Hulk Build Overview

Attributes ・Might
・Valor
・Resolve
Gear Perks ・Boneshaker's Blitz
・Courageous Inspiration
・Faultless Inspiration
Early Skills ・Gamma Crusher
・Shatter Spin
・Unbearable Might
Major Artifacts ・Ring of the Nibelung
・Darkhold

This build will focus more on buffing up Hulk through his Heroics extending the duration, and charging up quickly. It will also focus on abilities and upgrades that will help with survivability, something Hulk will need with how much damage he will be taking.

Hulk Best Attributes

Might Increases melee damage
Valor Increases Heroic Effectiveness and Critical Damage
Resolve Increases Willpower and Willpower Recovery

Hulk's best attacks are his melee attacks and will greatly benefit from increase melee damage from Might. Valor is another great stat to have to increase the damage of his Ultimate and Assault Heroics and increase the critical damage of his attacks. Resolve will be one of the most important stats to have with Hulk as he will be hit a lot with his Support Heroic and because of his larger hitbox.

Gear Stats Explained

Hulk Best Gear Perks

Gear Perk Effect
Boneshaker's Blessing % Increased critical hit chance from Boneshaker
Courageous Inspiration Grants a Willpower Burst when Critically injured
Faultless Inspiration % Chance melee Critical Attacks boost Willpower

In this build, it is a great idea to increase your critical chance as it will make your Boneshaker even stronger when it is activated. Having Hulk specific perks that increase his Boneshaker effectiveness is ideal.

If you can not get those Boneshaker perks, you should focus on survivability perks as Hulk can end up taking lots of damage. Hulk is bigger than the other Avengers and can feel like an easier target most of the time. Making him as tanky as possible and that won't be a problem anymore and will allow you to focus on attacking more.

List of All Gear Perks

Hulk Early Skills to Level

Primary Skills

Skill
1 Meteor
2 Shatter Spin
3 Power Spike
4 Smackdown
5 Cataclysm

Hulk's basic ranged attack is slow and not as effective as you would like, getting the Power Attack version wil make his ranged combat better. The rest of the upgrades you should get are his other Power Attacks. Smackdown can increase your damage output and lets you grab two enemies, letting you deal with damage to more enemies at once.

Cataclysm is great to get as soon as possible at Level 15 as it will further increase Hulk's damage output when Overcharged.

Specialty Skills

Hulk Usage Guide

Hulk Best Major Artifacts

Ring of Nibelung

This is one of the more flexible Artifacts, fitting in most builds. This Artifact will give you survivability with Willpower orbs, and offensive ability with the Intrinsic and Heroic orbs. This is great to have in this build as you will want both WIllpower orbs and Heroic orbs to continue surviving and dishing out damage.

Darkhold

Another great Artifact that can help with both survivability and offense. You can sacrifice your health when you need to activate any of your Heroics or sacrifice your Heroic charge to heal.
