How to Use the Build Compare Tool
Getting Started
The compare tool lets you load two builds and see them side by side. There are several ways to get builds into the comparison:
- From Saved Builds: Load builds you've saved in the Build Simulator
- From URL: Paste a shared build URL to load it directly
- Create New: Build a configuration from scratch within the compare tool
Understanding the Comparison
Once both builds are loaded, you'll see a detailed breakdown of their differences. Green highlights indicate advantages, while the percentage differences help you understand the magnitude of each stat gap.
When to Use Compare
- Testing Character Swaps: See how the same weapons/items perform on different characters
- Optimizing Loadouts: Compare two item variations to find the optimal setup
- Map-Specific Builds: Decide between a DPS-focused vs survivability-focused build
- Learning: Understand why certain builds are rated higher than others
Pro Tip
For nightmare maps, prioritize builds with higher survivability scores even if DPS is slightly lower. The extra defensive stats often mean the difference between completing a run and failing early.
