MMOexp-POE: Destroy Uber Exarch and Eater of Worlds with This 20-Divine Facebreaker Build
Today we're breaking down one of the most satisfying and downright explosive melee builds to ever grace Path of Exile 2-the Facebreaker "One Punch"Â Berserker. This setup is built around one goal and one goal only: to one-shot Uber Exarch and Eater of Worlds on a shoestring budget.
Â
With the upcoming buffs to Facebreaker gloves, this old-school unarmed powerhouse is making a roaring comeback. The build costs less than 20 Divines, yet it can produce single hits in the hundreds of millions of damage-enough to vaporize nearly any boss in the game. Let's dive deep into how it works, why it's so powerful, and what makes it tick.
Â
Core Concept: The Power of Facebreakers POE currency
Â
At the heart of this build lies Facebreaker, the iconic pair of gloves that grant up to 1,000% more unarmed physical damage. That "more"Â modifier isn't additive-it's multiplicative, meaning it scales your base damage by an absolutely absurd factor.
Â
However, there's a catch: since Facebreaker's bonus only applies to unarmed attacks, you can't use a weapon. That means your entire goal becomes stacking as much flat physical damage as humanly possible from other gear pieces, flasks, and passives.
Â
Key Gear Setup
Â
Here's how the build squeezes out damage from every slot:
Â
Chest: Replica Farrul's Fur (or "Replica War"Â Body Armor)
Â
This armor provides a consistent source of frenzy and power charges, ensuring uptime on damage and crit scaling.
Â
Rings: Double Warden's Brand Rings
Â
These are core to the setup. They add large chunks of flat physical damage to attacks, which multiply through Facebreaker's scaling. Make sure to catalyst both rings for maximum effect.
Â
Amulet: Rigwald's Curse
Â
Since you're unarmed, your base critical strike chance is extremely low. Rigwald's Curse fixes that by converting unarmed damage into weapon-style scaling-granting flat crit chance, crit multi, and allowing you to benefit from many crit-based passives.
Â
Boots: Relic Cache
Â
Gives damage bonuses from frenzy charges and extra crit chance from power charges. This synergizes beautifully with your chest armor's charge generation.
Â
Shield: Emperor's Vigilance
Â
One of the strongest defensive/offensive hybrids in the game. Combined with shield masteries, it gives a massive damage boost while keeping you durable against Uber hits.
Â
Helmet: Echoes of Creation
Â
This helmet is the keystone of your warcry synergy. It grants 15% more damage for each Warcry exerting your next attack, and since this build uses four Warcries, that's up to 60% more damage.
Â
Main Skill: Earthquake of Amplification
Â
When it comes to raw, earth-shattering single-hit power, nothing beats Earthquake of Amplification-specifically, its Aftershock explosion.
Â
Here's how it scales:
Â
 Each 0.1 second of Aftershock duration = 15% more damage.
Â
 With a 4.4-second duration setup, you gain a jaw-dropping 660% more damage multiplier.
Â
That Aftershock is your "one punch."Â It's slow, deliberate, and devastating. You set it up, release it, and watch bosses crumble.
To push it even further, the build uses:
Â
 Phase Run → Grants extra "more" multiplier.
Â
 Rage stacking → With 98 max rage, you gain 133% more damage via Berserker passives.
Â
 Warcries → Provide exerted hits and further multiplicative boosts from Echoes of Creation.
Â
Flask Setup
Â
Flasks are the finishing touch on your damage and sustain.
Â
 Lion's Roar → Flat physical boost + knockback immunity.
Â
 Bottled Faith → Critical chance and massive DPS increase.
Â
 Diamond Flask → More consistent crits.
Â
 Quicksilver Flask → Movement and repositioning during Ubers.
Â
Optionally, you can replace one flask with Silver for Onslaught or Sulphur for more damage-but always keep Quicksilver for survival and timing your strike.
Â
The Damage Range Problem
Â
This build's biggest challenge isn't damage output-it's damage consistency.
Â
Facebreaker builds often have extremely wide damage ranges because flat physical damage rolls can vary wildly from hit to hit. In testing, this setup deals between 40 million and 47 million before crit multiplier, and anywhere between 60 million and 200 million after crit scaling.
Â
That should theoretically one-shot any Uber (since they have roughly 42 million HP), but there's a twist:
Â
Ubers have a "grace period."Â During the first few seconds of combat, they gain extreme damage reduction that slowly decays. That means your first punch might hit during the invulnerability window and fail to land the kill.
Â
To fix that, the build avoids mechanics like Volatility Support (which widens your damage range even more). Instead, it stabilizes output using Impale.The Impale Solution
Â
Impale effectively stores a portion of your physical damage and applies it again in subsequent hits. If your initial punch doesn't finish the job, your Impales ensure the boss dies on the next follow-up.
Â
To automate this, the build uses:
Â
 The Impale`r Keystone → Instantly applies six Impales.
Â
 Brutal Scarring Passive → Boosts Impale effect and recovery.
Â
 Battlemage's Cry → Triggers Ball Lightning after your first hit to immediately proc the stored Impales.
Â
So even if your first "one punch"Â doesn't end the fight, your follow-up attack will absolutely delete the boss.
Â
Ascendancy: Berserker All the Way
Â
There's no competition here-Berserker is the only ascendancy that fits.
Â
 Crave the Slaughter → Builds Rage fast.
Â
 Aspect of Carnage → 40% more damage.
Â
 Rite of Ruin → Doubles Rage effects for even higher multipliers.
Â
 Flawless Savagery → Critical strike chance and multi boost.
Â
With nearly 100 Rage stacks, you're dealing well over 130% more total damage, plus the base Berserker multipliers on top.
Â
Passive Tree & Clusters
Â
Your tree focuses on:
Â
 Physical damage
 Impale chance and effect
 Warcry cooldowns and exerted hits
 Rage generation
 Crit chance and multi
 Shield scaling (for Emperor's Vigilance)
Â
Clusters:
 Large Physical Clusters (2x) → 8-passive variants with Force Multiplier or Iron Breaker.
 Medium Warcry Cluster → Cry Wolf, Haunting Shout.
 Small Life/Armor Cluster → Discipline and Training or Fettle.
Â
Jewels:
 Forbidden Flesh & Flame → Best-in-slot Berserker synergy.
 Watcher's Eye → Impale chance or Pride scaling.
 Lethal Pride → Converts Strength nodes into multipliers.
 Abyss Jewels → Fill attribute gaps and add flat damage.

Â
Rotation & Timing
Â
This build is all about timing. Here's the rotation for your one-punch setup:
Â
1.Prep-Activate Forbidden Rite (Soul Sacrifice) in your off-hand to start Rage.
Â
2.Charge Up-Cast Earthquake twice to apply Ruthless tag.
Â
3.Exert-Use three main Warcries to charge Echoes of Creation.
Â
4.Trigger-Cast Battlemage's Cry and swap back to main hand.
Â
5.Smash-Hit the ground, use all flasks, apply curses, activate Phase Run.
Against Exarch, wait for the hatchling phase to end before striking. Against Eater, attack right as he starts talking-that's your window before the grace period fades.
Â
Budget and Performance
Â
This build costs around 15-20 Divines total-dirt cheap for what it can do. Every investment point adds noticeable performance. For upgrades:
Â
 Swap Emperor's Vigilance for a rare +2 shield.
Â
 Add Double Pride Watcher's Eye for Impale scaling.
Even with moderate investment, this build hits Uber-level DPS while remaining simple enough for mid-league players.
Â
Final Thoughts
Â
The Facebreaker "One Punch"Â Berserker is the ultimate expression of melee brutality-raw, focused, and devastating.
Â
It's not about sustained DPS or fancy mechanics; it's about charging up one massive hit and erasing bosses before they know what happened.
Â
If you're looking for a low-budget, high-impact build that delivers instant satisfaction and screen-shaking power, this is the one. It's stylish, nostalgic, and-with next week's Facebreaker buffs-stronger than ever.
Â
So grab your gloves, charge your Rage, and show the Ubers what a real punch feels like.
