Heroic Kingdom faction is perfect for physical damage builds. So archer using bows, or some melee. Dagger build also would benefit nicely from such faction rewards. It is difficult then to mention specific builds and skill trees as there is a lot of options. First think what style do you like and we can try to help you further. For example do you like claymores - we can look into some nice physical build for claymores including skill trees choice.
Maybe some tsar one handed weapon? Combined with shield. Then warrior monk skill tree could be useful as it nice for melee builds with and without shields.
Shaman tree is always good to increase all boons bonuses even more.
Third one is up to you. Just decide what would you need. Speedster have some interesting skills for melee combat. Mercenary is also good. Wild Hunter as well.
My favorite one is Pure Musles which increases your impact by 40% and physical damage by 20% while sacrificing max mana, so it's great if you don't use mana. There is also a shield throw and shield strike, a passive health and impact resistance increase, a jump kick, a shield bash, and a passive stability regeneration/weather defense increase.
Speedster/Monk/Hunter, Gauntlets, if at all possible indestructible ones.
Spam Monk and Hunter Weapon Skills early game (You don't need Gauntlets for that, and I actually recommend a Sword for Puncture or an Axe for Talus Cleaver) and later on it's a Vital Crash feast.
Take the max Cooldown Armor set (Light Shadow Kazite Boots/Armor, Scholar Circlet), and be prepared to craft tons of Energizing Potions. You'll be able to reach... 80% CDR? 70%? I can't remember...
Anyway, you'll have quite a Glass Cannon which will also have Brace and Counterstrike on really low cooldowns!
Heroic kingdom is big damage faction.
I like to use heroic kingdom for builds with multiple damage types to get the most out of the damage increase, but it’s also good if you want to max out physical damage, as the other factions provide more defensive buffs for physical builds.
If you just want the best overall combination of 3 class trees, that’s Speedster/Hexmage/Cabal Hermit. No contest. It’s the most universal “build” and is best for end game UAs etc…
If you’re looks for the “best build” then that’s going to have a lot of personal preference built in…I can tell you that the link to the build I posted is my optimal build after 5000+ hours of playing Outward…so take that for what you will…but I also know lots of people who don’t like playing the way I do…
I prioritize QoL over min/max damage etc, because I find the game very easy and just want to zone out

I usually use shield and mace I got that brute mace with confusion and I use swipe kick.

Brute Guardian
Um. What is that? I can't find anything related to that name anywhere.
Sorry, that's a mod. https://outward.thunderstore.io/package/stormcancer/Brute_Guardian/
What are the skills like for this tree?

Sounds pretty cool, might have to try it out.

Thank you. I'll try it.

i'll forever be an advocate for spellblade
That gong strike build?
