Description
Current as of Nightmares and Visions. I play this regularly on HI-STGs and Maelstroms. Haven't taken it into Havoc. It might work ok if paired with a rumbler shieldgryn to make up for its weaknesses.
Weaknesses:
* mediocre against plogryns and spawns
* kinda crap against BoN
* can't deal well alone with crusher packs up close
* mauler packs up close depend on whether you have the peril-shards to burst them
* such a glass cannon
* requires very fast-paced gameplay and excellent game sense
* limited solo clutch capability
* without scriers up: poor control against anything with even flak armor
* with scriers: poor control against anything tougher than a bruiser
* high skill floor
Strengths:
* wipe trash all trash mobs and including entire horde waves at any range; might be the best horde clear in the game
* burst down gunner packs and ragers
* can keep scriers constantly up in melee
* counter multiple specials simultaneously
* delete gunners and most specials at any range
* amazing dps
* can be invulnerable to gunners if you're not totally surprised
* super rewarding gameplay if you can master the flow
* save teammates just out of reach with force-pushes against bursters, crushers, maulers
* lots of skill ceiling
Play
Melee:
* push-attack into heavies for ragers, maulers, crushers, bulwarks up close (probably reapers too)
* heavies against muties
* spam lights for most everything else
* every few swings pop a few shards off
* every time your sword is fully charged, spot some density and slice them
Ranged:
* use surgical to pick off elites/specials, even ones that that are far away
* quick-switch and fire to delete closing specials in the middle of a horde
* pop scriers before first shot against crushers, maulers, reapers to burst them down
Blitz:
* weave it in whenever you can
* burst, pop scriers, burst again to delete gunner and rager packs, or in a pinch you can even do serious work against maulers and reapers
* whenever you hit 100% peril with scriers up, throw all your shards at whatever denisity you can find and watch it all disappear
