Build Summary
This is a safe frontliner build that utilizes the Damage Reduction and Electrocution nodes available in the Skitarii talent tree. Your goal is to bash heretics with your Branx Mk III Arc Maul while avoiding death to keep your Static Capacitor Drain stacks at maximum. Voltaic Emitter serves as both your engagement tool and emergency button when the situation goes wrong. For the ranged option, I opted for the Branx Mk IV Arc Rifle as it synergizes exceptionally well with the Electrocution nodes and is a very strong choice overall. The Servo-Skull maintains your Superior Defence Engrams, Hybrid Combat Covenant and Threat Detection Imperative stacks, as well as helps with the Boss damage by applying Burn stacks through Artificer Servo-Skull, while Medicae Servo-Skull lets you remotely and safely pick up downed teammates.
Alternative Ranged: Branx Mk XI Phosphor Blast Pistol / Branx Mk CV Galvanic Rifle
The Phosphor Blast Pistol lets you both snipe specials and deal with bosses by applying 15 Burn stacks, which the Servo-Skull maintains at max for you. Set it up like this:
- Perks: Unyielding & Maniac
- Blessings: Infernus & Crucian Roulette
The Galvanic Rifle is a better specialist-sniping weapon, but is less reliable against bosses than the Phosphor Blast Pistol with Infernus. Its boss damage depends on landing weakspot hits, while the Phosphor Blast Pistol can rely on Burn stacks for consistent boss damage. Pick it if you're confident in your aim. Drop Gunsmith for Assassination Protocols. Recommended generalist loadout:
- Perks: Unyielding & Reload Speed
- Blessings: Opening Salvo & Trickshooter
Non-Infernus version of Branx Mk XI Phosphor Blast Pistol
If you're not a big fan of Infernus, you can specialize the Phosphor Blast Pistol into more of a support/sniping tool with the following setup:
- Perks: Flak & Maniac
- Blessings: Man-Stopper & Surgical
Alternative Blitz: Arc Grenades
If you wish to play with Arc Grenades instead, keep in mind you won't have the passive burn stacks upkeep on bosses from the Servo-Skull. Swap the following:
- Sequenced Charge → Weakness Analysis Doctrine
- Artificer Servo-Skull → Arc Grenades
- Medicae Servo-Skull → Overcharged Arc Grenades
- On curios: 12% Stamina Regeneration → 10% Revive Speed (Ally)
