The deadweight.wiki build planner helps you allocate skill points for Arn and Berry before starting a run. Select a character, click abilities like Brute Force, Abyss Push, Shadow Step, or Backstab, and track spent versus remaining points against typical prologue level caps.
Theorycrafting here saves in-game respec headaches — the demo offers limited or no respec depending on build version. Compare "Abyss Warden" Arn against "Prologue Berserker" or Berry's assassin versus poison kite paths before touching the Steam demo.
At launch on July 16, 2026, expect planner updates for all four characters once Klukva Games finalizes skill costs under the new action point combat system.

The planner lives on deadweight.wiki so you can iterate builds without launching Steam — useful at work, on a laptop that is not your gaming PC, or while watching community guides. When the remaining two launch characters arrive, this tool will expand with their trees; bookmark the page and revisit after major Klukva Games patch notes change skill costs or prerequisites.
Export your planned build by screenshot or notes — the planner is for thinking, not automatic game import. Walk through each chosen skill in the demo tutorial island to confirm animations and targeting match your expectations before committing points in a real prologue attempt.
