1. Foreword
Welcome to the Driptide series, where I craft lore-themed builds paired with fitting cosmetic setups, prioritizing fun and variety over strict adherence to the meta or optimization. While these builds may not always align with the current meta or pursue min/maxing, they promise an engaging experience for those seeking something different.
Before I make a build public, it undergoes extensive playtesting and adjustments to prove its viability in Auric Damnation. This ensures that although they can be unorthodox, you will be able to have fun without worrying about being deadweight.
Additionally, sometimes the weapons selected for these builds, though unconventional at times (such as the Valhalla Ice Warrior with Mk VII Tactical Axe), are chosen for thematic coherence and to stave off monotony by diversifying gameplay away from the usual meta weapons—a core principle of this series.
