The [[builder]] has a weapon. It is most likely the pickaxe, which he also uses for mining.

===Defensive===
 +
The builder's primary action is to build. He can create massive stone buildings or specialized traps to ensnare or impale enemies using [[spikes]]. Basic structures can be as simple as large rectangles of [[Stone_Block|stone]]. These may be hollowed out to create tactical towers which can house workshops or [[archer]] nests. At the beginning of most [[Gameplay#Capture The Flag|Capture The Flag]] matches, there is a building phase in which builders can create fortifications before battle. It is easy to get a refill of resources by going back to the [[tent]], so this is the greatest opportunity to build strong defenses. Another way to get a resupply is to stand by a [[Builder_Shop|builder shop]].

As a player gains experience in building, he learns to utilize space and resources efficiently in structures. Certain traps, such as spike pits (a deep pit dug into the ground with [[Trap_Block|trap blocks]] over it and spikes at the bottom), often take more time than they're worth, and more specialized features that aid other [[classes]] in combat are usually preferred.

===Offensive===
 +
Just as builders are essential for creating defenses for their team, they are just as important for helping their teammates advance into enemy territory. A builder can travel with a pack of Knights and and Archers, placing ladders or other constructions (or obstructions) on enemy towers to let them over. He can also prevent enemies from moving forward by blocking their paths with [[Stone_Block|stone]]. A good offensive builder can effectively direct the flow of combat with just a few blocks, and is a crucial part of every raid.

Once a team has secured a position, a builder can set up a forward tower that acts as a new front line of battle. From there, the players can either continue to push forward into enemy territory, perhaps capturing the [[flag]], or simply defending from an advantageous position (such as on a hill).

==Pickaxe==
 +
The builder's pickaxe can be used not only for mining and destroying structures, but also for attacking enemies. The builder's pickaxe has a faster attack rate than the knight's sword, but does only half a [[heart]] of damage each time and cannot attack through the [[knight]]'s shield. If a builder tries to pick a knight while the knight jabs the builder, the knight's attack will take priority over the builder's, so that only the builder will be hurt. The pickaxe is best used in conjunction with a head-stomp, by jumping on an enemies head from high above while attacking. If done correctly, this will deal between 1.5 and 2.5 hearts of damage. Note that the targeting for the builder pickaxe is buggy so attacking with the pick is not always the best idea.

Defensive

The builder's primary action is to build. He can create massive stone buildings or specialized traps to ensnare or impale enemies using spikes. Basic structures can be as simple as large rectangles of stone. These may be hollowed out to create tactical towers which can house workshops or archer nests. At the beginning of most Capture The Flag matches, there is a building phase in which builders can create fortifications before battle. It is easy to get a refill of resources by going back to the tent, so this is the greatest opportunity to build strong defenses. Another way to get a resupply is to stand by a builder shop.

As a player gains experience in building, he learns to utilize space and resources efficiently in structures. Certain traps, such as spike pits (a deep pit dug into the ground with trap blocks over it and spikes at the bottom), often take more time than they're worth, and more specialized features that aid other classes in combat are usually preferred.

Offensive

Just as builders are essential for creating defenses for their team, they are just as important for helping their teammates advance into enemy territory. A builder can travel with a pack of Knights and and Archers, placing ladders or other constructions (or obstructions) on enemy towers to let them over. He can also prevent enemies from moving forward by blocking their paths with stone. A good offensive builder can effectively direct the flow of combat with just a few blocks, and is a crucial part of every raid.

Once a team has secured a position, a builder can set up a forward tower that acts as a new front line of battle. From there, the players can either continue to push forward into enemy territory, perhaps capturing the flag, or simply defending from an advantageous position (such as on a hill).

Pickaxe

The builder's pickaxe can be used not only for mining and destroying structures, but also for attacking enemies. The builder's pickaxe has a faster attack rate than the knight's sword, but does only half a heart of damage each time and cannot attack through the knight's shield. If a builder tries to pick a knight while the knight jabs the builder, the knight's attack will take priority over the builder's, so that only the builder will be hurt. The pickaxe is best used in conjunction with a head-stomp, by jumping on an enemies head from high above while attacking. If done correctly, this will deal between 1.5 and 2.5 hearts of damage. Note that the targeting for the builder pickaxe is buggy so attacking with the pick is not always the best idea.
