These are role-defined builds, because in large squads the duty of healing, doing damage, or utility, can often be simplified to a build that focuses only on that. The two main roles are:
- DPS
- Support
DPS will usually have very aggressive builds with low amounts of sustain but high burst pressure that when coordinated with other DPS builds can break through the support of other squads. Supports will usually provide plenty of healing, revival, cleansing, stability, and boons to allow their DPS and other squad members to survive.
Another important duty of a squad is to remove boons from their enemies, which can be done by specific builds in either role to allow their DPS players to land their damage especially if they can remove the most powerful boon, stability, so they can land crowd controls (CC).
Even further categorization can be done between frontline and backline. The frontline usually deals damage in close range and can tank the damage of their enemies, whereas the backline is usually less durable and stays within range of their supports but requires positioning that doesn’t put them in danger. Supports are technically frontline and backline depending on who needs support. While some builds may be more essential than others, a balanced composition is more effective than stacking one build.
