While the Sacred Hunter demolishes foes through devastating Critical Hits, a Plume Hunter is a bit more ‘hardcore'.
Their kit goes all-in into Combos, giving them the edge in battle right from the start purely on Basic Attacks alone (doesn't rely on Skills too heavily)! If you're considering this class for your evolving Shroomie, these are our recommended Plume Monarch builds.
Plume Monarch Best Builds

In Legend of Mushroom, the Plume Monarch might not be as tanky as the Martial Sage, but their unstoppable Combos ensure they deal the finishing blows first.
So, in terms of the best builds, the Plume Monarch prioritizes Attack Speed, Combo Rate, Combo Damage, and Criticals. As such, you should build your character like this:
Relentless Combo Build

Exploiting the Plume Monarch's powerful Passive Skills favoring Combo Damage, your setup needs to improve Attack, Attack Speed, Combo Rate, and Critical Rate.
These combine to make your attacks among the most destructive in the game, letting you overpower foes long before they can do the same to you.
Stats

| Stat | Description |
|---|---|
| Attack | Increases the amount of outgoing damage applied. |
| Attack Speed | Number of attacks performed per second. |
| Combo (Combo Rate) | The chance for multiple hits to be performed by a single Basic Attack. |
| Combo Multiplier (Combo Damage) | The percentage of damage applied to a Basic Attack upon a successful Combo. |
Noting how the Plume Monarch's kit revolves around Basic Attacks, these stats are definitely the most important ones to you.
Skills

| Skill | Effect(s) |
|---|---|
Windborne Arrow | Deals more than 2000% damage before inflicting Vulnerability* (5s). *Vulnerability: Enemies affected suffer an additional 100% damage from non-skill damages Cooldown: 19 seconds |
Clone Strike | Summons a clone of your character, borrowing 30% of their HP and dealing 200% Basic Attack Damage (10s). Cooldown: 29 seconds |
Wild Gust | Inflicts upwards of 2000% AoE damage while increasing Attack by 15% (5s). Cooldown: 16 seconds |

The best Skills for this Plume Monarch build should look like this, with Windborne Arrow and Clone Strike offering the highest DPS potential.
Besides that, the others complement your build by adding more to your Attack and Basic Attack Damage while debuffing foes for them to suffer even more damage.

|---|---|
Bloodstained Blade | Global Attack + Healing Rate + |

|---|

| Etc. |
Next, visit the Prayer Statue and do your best to get these affixes.
Noting how they are randomly generated, lock those you manage to unlock while continuously refreshing the others to replace the unwanted ones.
Penetrating Combo Build

Instead of increasing the number of Basic Attacks your Shroomie can handle (via Combos), you can adopt another Plume Monarch build elevating your character's Criticals.
The Plume Monarch already enjoys amazing Combo improvements thanks to their Passive Skills, so you can instead make each one deal nearly double their damage (or more) this way.
Stats

| Stat | Description |
|---|---|
| Attack | Increases the amount of outgoing damage applied. |
| Attack Speed | Number of attacks performed per second. |
| Combo (Combo Rate) | The chance for multiple hits to be performed by a single Basic Attack. |
| Combo Multiplier (Combo Damage) | The percentage of damage applied to a Basic Attack upon a successful Combo. |
| Critical (Critical Rate) | The chance to enhance Basic Attack Damage, Combo Damage, or Counter Damage. |
| Critical Damage | The percentage of extra damage applied to Basic Attack Damage, Combo Damage, or Counter Damage. |
Generally, you'll be adding values to your Attack, Attack Speed, Critical Rate, and Critical Damage. These ensure your Combos bring even more pain to your enemies, particularly Bosses and PvP opponents.
That being said, getting your Combo Rate as close to 100% as possible is as important to get those tremendous DPS values consistently, so don't neglect it.
Skills

Worldly Snare | Deals more than 5000% damage and increases Critical Rate by 10%. Every 1% Critical Rate increases Critical Damage by 3% (5s). Cooldown: 24 seconds |
