Big Ducks summarizes the 5 most efficient builds for the PoE 1 Mirage 3.28 league start: recommended classes, gear paths, and why they work across early/mid/late mapping. League-start anchor for the PoE 1 side, compact format.

Pohx (codex of PoE 1) presents his Righteous Fire Chieftain league start for Mirage 3.28. Covers day one — priority passives, campaign gear, gem links — and how it scales into high-tier mapping. Pohx is the historical reference for RF; any player considering the archetype starts here.

Alternative build to Pohx's RF: Necromancer Dominating Blow is a tanky minion archetype that scales up to uber bosses. Cardboard Bastards details 16 minutes of complete league start — useful for players who already played RF and want to try something different in 3.28.

Spark Archmage is the 3.28 caster meta — Big Ducks (codex) goes deep on specific build setup, mana cost management, auxiliary gems, and how it scales. Complement to his Top 5: if you're interested in pick #1 from the list, this is the deep-dive.

Spanish version of the top 5 league starter: Kyuzo Hosoi recommends the 5 most reliable builds for Mirage 3.28 in short format. Complements Big Ducks' video for the Spanish-speaking audience that prefers to start the league without crossing into English content.
