36 talents are taken by at least 90% of the 100 Battleground Blitz players, out of roughly 74 talents in a full loadout. They include Aura Mastery, Awestruck, Beacon of the Lightbringer, Beacon of the Savior, Blessing of Dusk, Blessing of Freedom, Blessing of Sacrifice and Cavalier, plus 28 more.
The ladder is split on Blessing of Dawn (51%), Holy Ritual (51%), Blessed Assurance (52%), Will of the Dawn (53%), Vengeful Wrath (46%) and Crusader's Might (54%). The percentage is the share of Battleground Blitz players running that talent, so a number near 50% means the top of the ladder has not settled on it.
Choice nodes where players take different sides: Avenging Wrath (58%) against Avenging Crusader (42%); Blessed Assurance (52%) against Divine Guidance (32%); Quickened Invocation (74%) against Divine Resonance (26%); Hand of Divinity (68%) against Tyr's Deliverance (26%).
Rarely taken but still seen on the ladder: Beacon of Virtue (10%), Fear No Evil (10%), Forewarning (10%), Holy Reprieve (10%), Call of the Righteous (9%) and Divine Reach (9%).
Hero tree split: Herald of the Sun 73% and Lightsmith 27%.
Where the brackets disagree: Gleaming Rays is run by 56% in Battleground Blitz but 23% in 3v3 Arena; Blessing of Protection is run by 87% in Battleground Blitz but 62% in Solo Shuffle. Pick the loadout from the bracket you queue for.
Method: top US ladder entries per bracket that have a stored loadout, active loadout only. Builds are grouped by the exact talents chosen, ranks and choice nodes included. Small samples are never shown (a bracket needs at least 8 decoded loadouts).
