Javelin and bow

Amazon builds in Season 14

Lightning Fury is the Amazon search. Hiim’s Season 14 solo list, updated 25 October 2026, puts Lightning Fury, Fire Arrow, Multiple Shot, and Strafe or Demon Machine in Top. Plague Javelin is Good, not a secret Top that they forgot.

I copied tier names off Hiim and the skill changes off the Season 14 patch. I did not freeze a philanthropy777 frame and call the helmet “best in slot.” Their Amazon progression video is the demonstration. The written gear list is still a gap.

Clear times in parentheses are Hiim’s cited runs, with the season they were recorded. A Season 13 time is not a Season 14 promise.

Patch lines that move the Amazon

Season 14 patch: Multiple Shot’s base arrow count goes from 3 to 5, cap 25, base enhanced damage +30% to +50%, and per level +2% to +4%. Power Strike synergy 20% to 25%. Lightning Strike synergy 8% to 10%. Jab per level +18% to +15% and synergy 15% to 12%. Demon Machine’s Multiple Shot proc no longer triggers other procs. Hiim adds “20% less damage per pierce” and says that line is not in the notes.

Starter, budget and endgame choices

These are phase choices from Hiim’s public Season 14 Starter Builds (updated October 15) and Bossing Tier List (updated October 15), not a full equipment guide. Both pages are by the same author and count as one community source. Their tier tables do not publish item-by-item gear or a mercenary choice for every build; the missing values are explicitly marked. Verify skill allocation and equipment in the live planner before committing.

Questions

Is Plague Javelin a starter?

Hiim lists it in Good for Season 14. A bowazon leveling video is a different job. Use the leveling guide for the campaign, then come back for the map tier.

What runewords does Lightning Fury use?

A full weapon table is not on the patch page. Start from the runeword list and the class planner linked on the wiki Links page, and do not treat a 2024 video as Season 14 gear.
