Recommended builds for SSF Hardcore?

Hello!

Been very bored lately, I thought about joining in on the new Necro Settlers event. I also thought that I might as well make my first ever HC character and my first ever SSF character, problem is, I don't really know what to do. Instead of getting the same copy-paste common sense answers on YouTube, I thought I'd ask people in this subreddit.

I've only seen hardcore from a while back where most people were using slam skills + warcries + jugg or something alike. Is the current 'meta' still similar or what's the 'go-to' build? Please don't tell me its detonate dead.

Anyways, any recommendations/guides, etc are very much appreciated! <3
