Choose a Barbarian route by your weapon

If you have Bloodgod’s Legacy, the historical bleed route is a concrete starting template. A separate July 2025 community answer offers a different weapon-oriented loadout. Match your weapon and unlocks first; these reports do not establish a universal current best build.

Bloodgod’s Legacy: reported bleed template

Yekpeak’s source pairs Bloodgod’s Legacy with Bladestorm, Flurry, Bloody Saw, Heavy Strike, On Guard and Ground Slam. Its rune list is Executioner, Glass Cannon, Decapitator and Pulse of Agony. The article credits repeated Bleed application and sustain for its reported Red Portal 6 run.[1]

Use the template as a role checklist: frequent application, complementary attacks and a way to survive close range. Inspect the current descriptions before selecting the historical runes. A displayed article update is not proof that the entire loadout was retested on your build.

The July 2025 alternative

Mokkun’s accepted answer to Prayer lists Battle Shout, Beacon of Light, Scent of Blood, Heartrending Strike, Double Strike and Armor Shatter. It names Endless Refill, Reroll Mastery and Skill Affinity Holy for setup, with Divine Legacy, Battle Prowess, Synergetic and Multicast Mastery.[2]

That answer responds to the “new weapon” question without naming the weapon in the visible answer. Check your weapon’s available skills before copying it; do not present this as a confirmed loadout for an inferred weapon name. It is one community response, not a ranked comparison.

Record the result before changing the build

Keep the weapon, mode and Curse setting with your notes. Record whether a listed skill was missing, whether the damage core assembled and what killed the run. This separates a failed setup from a positioning problem. We did not play these builds; reported clear results belong to the source authors.
