If you want to build your character for consistent wins, thisLost Castle 2guide has you covered. It will walk you through creating the perfect class, boosting your stats, and optimizing your item selection.
How to Build Your Character
As aroguelike with RPG elements,Lost Castle 2takes a flexible approach to class setups. Since most items you acquire during expeditions are randomized, the game encourages you to adapt to various scenarios. At the start of the game, you select three weapon categories you’d prefer to find in reward chests. However, there’s no way to guarantee which other items—such as armor, treasures, or amulets—you’ll come across.
Even with the randomness, you can still customize your character before each adventure. By preparing your adventurer strategically, you can maximize loot and shape your desired class using the items you collect.
To build your character inLost Castle 2, follow these steps before embarking on an expedition:
Step One: Weapon Preference
Speak to Serena, the merchant near the weapon slots, to set your weapon preferences. This choice determines which weapons are likely to appear in your chests. To improve your chances of getting the weapon you want,it’s best to toggle on only three weapon categories. Enabling all categories increases the randomization, making it less likely to obtain your desired Legendary item.
Step Two: Starter Weapon
After setting your weapon preferences, choose your starter weapon. Near Serena, you’ll find three blacksmith slots, each containing a weapon from your selected categories. Interact with one of these slots to equip your starting weapon.
If you’ve unlocked the Camp Upgrade “Repair the Forge Room,” you’re able to refresh the starter weapon slots for a chance to obtain better items.
Step Three: Amulets
After equipping your weapon, the next step is to choose your Alchemy Amulet, a combination of multiple Amulets. Visit the Alchemist’s Hut and interact with his pot, where you’ll be prompted to select up to three Amulets to mix, generating a single buff potion.
Select Amulets that align with your desired class. For instance, if you’re building an assassin, prioritize Amulets that enhance SPD and ATK (speed and attack). Similarly, if you’re aiming for a mage build, focus on Amulets that increase MP.
Step Four: Hunter’s Gear
Before finalizing your build, select a Hunter’s Gear. This item can serve as your secondary weapon or as a source of additional HP regeneration.
As a rule, if you’re focusing on durability, opt for Hunter Gears like the Emergency HP Bottle or Banana. On the other hand, if you’re building toward ATK, items like the Portable Magic Turret are a better choice.
Step Five: Rune and Item Prioritization
Finally, begin your adventure and start shaping your character by selecting the right items and Runes to complement your build. The table below provides a guide on what to prioritize:

The Best Build in Lost Castle 2
If you’re playing solo, the optimal build is a Tank Class with average ATK. To create this build, choose a Single-Handed Weapon and focus on Green and Red Runes. Here’s the complete list:
Here are some tips to achieve the best stats:
Build Around Synergies
Weapons, Treasures, and Runes inLost Castle 2all have synergies. For example, choosing an MP-gen Treasure while focusing on Blue Runes and using a Staff turns you into a mage—benefiting from the synergies between those items. When building your character, plan synergies ahead of time and only pick items that contribute to them.
Have a Backup Build in Mind
Lost Castle 2is amonggames with high RNG.Before each adventure, consider a secondary class that you can switch to if you don’t get the items you need for your primary build.
Exploit Your Early Camp Upgrades
The ultimate goal is to max out your Camp Upgrades, but this takes time. Until your Camp is fully upgraded, spend your Coins strategically. For example, if you’re building a Tank class, prioritize the Armor Proficiency upgrade early on.
