Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons Builds
Philosophy for steel-plus-spells — numbers wait for launch
A build in a pre-release action game is a sentence, not a spreadsheet. Kaatri is a Pact of the Blade warlock who used to be a weapons master. You will always have spells on the pad and two weapons equipped. The only honest forks are emphasis: close with hammer after tentacles, or stay at bolt range after rain, or spend reagents rewriting weather before you enter. Pact of the Blade and spell loadouts are those forks. There is no S-tier chart because there are no published coefficients.
If you came from Baldur’s Gate 3 looking for Hexblade itemization, stop. This is real-time jobs. Versus BG3 explains the genre gap. Combo planner is the interactive twin of this hub. Weapons is the steel desk. Cantrips vs advanced is the magic desk.
When a skill screen exists we will attach it here. Until 2027, refuse datamine graphics. Read how to play, then pick a sentence: I pin then swing, or I soak then bolt, or I swap then jump. That sentence is your build.
What we still refuse to invent on this page
Pre-release wikis fail when they fill silence with numbers. Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons has not published damage, cooldowns, campaign hours, or a skill tree. This article therefore repeats only public nouns: Kaatri, Tasha, Darkon, Raw Magic, cantrips, advanced spells, rituals, two weapons, 2027, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. If a later trailer names a new tool, it belongs here as a named tool, not as a guessed rank. Wishlist links belong on the platforms article. Button maps belong on the controls article. Boss names belong nowhere until Invoke says them on camera.
Readers arriving from Baldur’s Gate 3 should treat this page as a different job: no camp, no dice, no origin picker. Readers arriving from Dark Alliance should treat it as a different session: no four-player drop-in. Readers arriving from tabletop warlock threads should treat Eldritch Blast as a pad verb, not a slot you ration after a short rest. Witch Bolt wants water and metal. Black Tentacles hold bodies and masonry. Fey Switch is a survival swap. Downpour is a ritual with bowls. Tasha’s Leash is original to this video game.
The official site, the Gamescom eight-minute film, Maggie Robertson’s stage intro, and Dominic Guay’s IGN interview remain the primary sources. Tricia Helfer is Kaatri. The lost person has no public name. Azalin Rex is vanished in previews, not a confirmed health bar. Crickshank harbors a secret in captions. Steam lists twelve languages; this wiki ships English, French, German, and Spanish. The launch window is still a year, not a day. Notes on builds-en-0 stay unique to this article.
