Best Enshrouded Survivor Builds
Survivor builds in Enshrouded prioritise gathering, base-building, and stamina sustain — the Crafter Survivor preset is the dedicated builder profile while every other archetype dips 5-15 points into Survivor for Stamina Cap and Double Jump. As a primary archetype Survivor is rare; in practice it's a utility layer over Ranger or Warrior. If you're building a co-op base specialist, the Crafter preset is your starting point. For combat-focused Survivor variants, look at Hybrid builds that lean on Survivor's stamina + food bonus passives.
