Hexblade Warlock Pure Build

Feats aren’t detrimental in which level you take them. This means, depending on your playstyle, you could take Great Weapon Master or even Dual Wielder as your first Feat, considering we will already have 18 CHA around that level, which is used for both Melee Weapon & Spell Attacks. Something to keep in mind when I mention Feats, and you can refer to Level 12 for the miscellaneous Feats I recommend for this build. 

To bust, simply wield the Upcasted Shadow Blade while carrying the Resonance Stone. You can also use a Hireling to get a second Shadow Blade for your off-hand. This is done by casting and leaving equipped the Shadow Blade on the Hireling, and Dismissing them to the Fugue Plane. Once dismissed, rehire them, and the Shadow Blade can now be passed between Party Members.
