Path of Exile is the best game that falls under isometric ARPG. Path of Exile frequently releases updates and patches to fix the game and keep the PoE community alive and active. The 3.20 patch introduced the new Righteous Fire Build variant known as "Juggernaut Righteous Fire build."
This guide will give you an overview of the Juggernaut Righteous Fire build and how you can use this build to beat even the most challenging content in PoE and have the best currency farming in the end game.
Righteous Fire Build Introduction
Before we go for the Jugg Righteous Fire build, we would love to give you a basic overview so it will be easy for you to understand the Jugg righteous build introduced in the 3.20 patch of PoE.
The Righteous Fire build is considered the best for new players as this build deals great DMG, especially if you are fighting against the bosses on PoE. You can say it's on par with the Inquisitor version because of its ability to block most attacks.
The spell block goes up to 75%, protecting the character from heavy DMG. This is a basic version of the Righteous Fire build and is the best build if you are at the initial stage, but if you are looking for something more advanced than the basic version, it can be a little complex, and you might need to make another Exile later on.
Righteous Fire build gives the player an upper hand in the game by providing the faster mapping skill, but righteous fire also has a dark side. It can curse your immune permanently, so it becomes hard to progress in the game by sticking only with a single build.
Juggernaut Righteous Fire Build Overview
As we all know, the "Righteous Fire Build" has been introduced in PoE since the beta version of the game, and to this day, the build is considered very durable and strong.
There have been many variations in the righteous build from Occultist to the Hybrid Inquisitors, and now in the 3.20 patch, they have introduced Juggernaut. Jugg is the strongest from the previous version of the Righteous Fire build.
