In this article, I will show you the top 2 best builds in New World 2023. I will explain what attributes, weapon masteries, gems, and specific gear you need to use to get out your stats as much damage as possible. I will also show you how to use different weapons. Let's get into it.
Top 1 Build - New World Axe Build
The first is the Great Axe and War Hammer, and below are the attributes you need to have.
No matter on which level you start using this build, you need to get your strength to 200, get 100 points in constitution, and continue putting everything else in strength. And then around level 60 and 625 items score gear, you should have around 300 strengths and 200 constitutions. And as you can see, the yellow bar indicates the attributes that you get from level 60. The blue indicates the attributes that you get from gear. The purple indicates the attribute that you get from your food. For your gear, you can choose the medium category, which means using a heavy helmet, heavy chest armor, medium gloves, light pants, and medium boots.
For Great Axe, below are the weapon masteries you need to have.
First, you need to unlock the ability called Maelstrom and get three perks. Unlock the second ability called the gravity well and get two perks. Then move to the other side, and select one perk as shown “3” in pic. Finally, unlock the ability called the charge and get three perks. From this point and onwards, you're free to pick and choose which perks you want to unlock.
The second weapon is the War Hammer. And below are weapon masteries you want to have.
First of all, you need to get the perk as shown “1” in pic. Then unlock two abilities called Shockwave and Path of Destiny, and get four perks. Then move over to the other side and get two perks as shown “3” in pic. Finally, unlock the last final ability called the Wrecking Ball and get two perks. Now again from this point, you can unlock all the other perks in whatever order you like.
Gameplay
For Great Axe, your first spell is called Maelstrom, which will perform a fast spinning attack that pulls all Targets in 2.5 M range, and that's a bunch of AOE damage. The second ability is called the gravity well, which will swing your Axe and create an electric storm in which your enemies will be stunned and take a bunch of damage. Lastly, the charge is a simple Mobility spell that will make your character dash for 10m while at the end doing 120% of your weapon's damage.
For War Hammer, your spell is called the Shockwave, which will slam your Hammer into the ground, causing a 3M airquake that deals damage, staggers and roots your enemies for two seconds. The second skill is called the Path of Destiny, which will create a powerful ground strike that does a lot of damage in this range. The last is Wrecking Ball, which will strike the ground with your War Hammer dealing damage, and at the same time knocking down your enemies.
Then move over to the rotation. The same principle applies whether you are farming mobs in PvE or PvP. At the start of the fight, you need to use the Great Axe and cast Gravity Well. Dash into the enemy with the Charge ability. The enemy will probably try to escape, and you can use Maelstrom to pull them back. Then, switch to the War Hammer and use Shockwave and Wrecking Ball. Finally, finish off your enemy with the Path of Destiny.
For this build, the Great Axe and War Hammer weapon combination is a very high-damage melee Bruiser build.
These are the best gloves, boots, leg, armour, and helmet you can use.
And the top three of the best jewelry that you want to get.
This build will work fine with any gear as long as you’re using the same attribute and weapon setup that showed. There is one more thing, on your bar, you need to use the health potions and get the cleansing potion or any other potion depending on what activity you are doing. And lastly, use the Carrot Cake, and don't forget to equip your character with the Heartrune of Detonate.

Around Level 60, you should have 200 shanks, 150 dexterity, and 100 Constitution. For your gear, you can choose the medium category. Each Shield type has different weights, so don't forget to use the lightest Shield that still will put you in the medium category.
The first weapon - Greatsword. Below are the weapon masteries you need to have.
First, unlock the first ability - Crosscut and get two perks, and unlock the second ability - Skyward Slash and get two perks.

From this point, you can spend your points in whatever way you prefer.
Gameplay
Now go over to the gameplay. I'll show you the best way to play this build.
For Greatsword, the queen ability is called Crosscut, which will perform three quick slash attacks, and each attack will do more damage. The second skill is called Skyward Slash, which will swing up your sword that will do damage and apply stacks on the enemy. Finally, the Steadfast Strike, which will stab your enemies and can do up to two hits, will do more damage and restore Mana upon finishing the animation, and in PvE, this skill can be used to aggro all the monsters as well.
For the Sword with Shield, the queen spell is called the Leaping Shark, which will make you leap forward and do damage and stagger the enemy. The second skill is called Shield Rush, which will quickly make your character rush forward while dealing damage and pushing back your enemy. This skill is great for counterattacks to cancel the enemy animation or to help out your teammates. The last is the Shield Bash, which is a short skill that will stun the enemy for two seconds. And this is the longest stunning ability in the game.
Then move over to the rotation. At the start of the fight, you need to use the sword with a shield, and use the Leaping Shark to close the distance between you and the enemy. Then use the shield rush. When the Stagger ends right away, use the shield bash. In those few seconds, you can switch to the Greatsword and use the crosscut, and keep spamming the heavy attacks. When the enemy starts dealing back damage to you, you can use the Skyboard Slash to do damage and stagger. Lastly, you can use the Steadfast Strike. From here, you need to keep using the Greatsword attacks till the enemy gets eliminated. Or if you ever get in trouble, then switch back to the sword with shield, and keep on blocking the enemy attack by holding the right click. This Greatsword and sword with shield weapon combination is super fun to play. And as you're using medium armour, you can take some damage and at the same time do very high DPS numbers.
And for the Greatsword and Sword with Shield, you can use the Opal Gem.
For all your gear, you can use three Malachite and two Onyx gems.
Lastly, on your character, you can equip the Heartrune of Detonate.
