Build that plays around agile engagement and weapon specialist. Quick swap to bistol and kill something to get big buffs for the power sword. On the bistol I take lethal proximity which will buff our grenade radius as well. The point blank shots exploding is also really nice, it provides good stagger and can rack up some kills shooting once at the horde then swapping back to power sword. I dump reload speed on the bistol, I reload the rounds through weapon specialist most of the time and the added mobility is really nice since power sword is slow (i run around with the bistol out usually). For the power sword you can animation cancel the power up by holding block and releasing right when the sword starts to move into the block position. For hordes just spam empowered lights and aim for heads with brutal momentum. For carapace/unyielding targets, empowered push attack into light will do high single target damage. Shredders have a huge radius because of lethal proximity and grenade tinkerer, and you will regen a lot of them thanks to demolition stockpile and demolition team.
