Description

Divider

This build is designed for one thing and one thing only - making the absolute most out of the Force Greatsword.

 

The greatsword has great potential, but in most builds, is held back by some slight awkwardness in its mechanics. It wants you to be using it all the time to build up its special, BUT it has no way of generating peril on its own without spending the buildup for its special. On top of this, it has somewhat poor mobility, and good - but not fantastic - damage.

On the flipside, it has good stagger, great reach, and good armour penetration.

Scrier's gaze fixes all of this - giving it more mobility, a way to generate peril even while constantly having it out, more crits (which power our Empathic Evasion). You have a 50% crit rate with scrier's and Shred. With these all online, you are incredibly fast, essentially invulnerable to ranged fire as long as you are hitting something every few seconds, and most importantly, you one-shot every non-ogryn enemy (and two-shot and stagger every ogryn). You can move to whereever you want to be, kill your disrupt destiny target, and the moment a horde pops up, you can instantly delete it with your fully-charged special, which will ALSO one-shot everything short of ogryn-type enemies.

Against ogryn enemies, you will generally stagger them with a headshot, and follow this up with another for a kill - you can approach even havoc-boosted reapers without fear. Your damage is so high that you one-shot enemies well into havoc, and are immune to ranged fire most of the time - you basically play the same on either auric or havocs.

Perfectionism is not only practical, but easily sustainable on this build - it just pushes you to be more aggressive, but you can easily maintain near 25 stacks the entire game.

This is a high-risk, high-reward, high-octane build - play like it's Hotline Miami, and everything can down you in a shot. In exchange, you get some of the craziest damage you'll ever see and can wipe the screen in an instant.
