Description
Hive Scum – Bone Saw Crit Snowball
(High-tempo melee build focused on crit stacking, one-shots, and Finesse scaling)
🔧 Core Idea
Stack Critical Strike Chance through dodging, sustained melee combat, and Chemical Dependency stacks — then convert one-shot kills into attack speed + crit damage via Finesse stacking.
Once rolling, the Bone Saw becomes faster, deadlier, and harder to stop with every kill. And Rampage is a nice addition to add some octane to the mulch machine.
🎯 Key Talents, Blessings & Aura
🟡 Shred (Blessing)
• Consecutive hits increase Critical Strike Chance
• Enables sustained crit uptime during melee engagements
🟣 Chemical Dependency (Keystone)
• Builds stacks through stimming
• While stacks are active, Chem-Enhanced is enabled
🟣 Chem-Enhanced (Keystone Modifier)
• Increases Critical Strike Chance while Chemical Dependency stacks are up
🟢 Float Like a Butterfly (Talent)
• Encourages constant dodging
• High Critical Strike Chance uptime in melee-heavy fights
🔴 Anarchist (Aura)
• Increases Critical Strike Chance
• Helps feed the machine with more crits.
⚔️ Kill Conversion Engine
🪓 Decapitator (Blessing)
• One-shot kills grant Finesse stacks
• Finesse provides:
- Increased attack speed
- Increased critical damage multiplier
💥 Hyper-Violence (Talent)
• Increases damage against enemies you can one-shot
• Greatly improves consistency of Decapitator triggers
🔄 The Loop (Why This Build Works)
➡️ Dodge →
➡️ Gain crit chance (Float Like a Butterfly) →
➡️ Crit more often (Shred + Chem-Enhanced + Anarchist) →
➡️ Secure one-shot kills (Hyper Violence) →
➡️ Gain Finesse stacks (Decapitator) →
➡️ Attack faster + crit harder →
➡️ Repeat
The Bone Saw scales off momentum, and this build feeds it nonstop.
🧠 Playstyle Tips
• Stay in melee range
• Dodge constantly to refresh crit buffs
• Maintain Chemical Dependency stacks
• Target enemies you can reliably one-shot
• Keep pressure — losing momentum is the only real weakness
☠️ Summary
This build rewards aggression, movement, and precision. Once your crit engine is online, the Bone Saw turns into a high-speed execution tool that only gets stronger the longer the fight lasts.
Spin it up. Dodge cleanly. Let the stacks cook.
