Description
This incredibly tanky build has saved a few runs for me so I might as well share it and mention a few talent and weapon choices that might confuse people.
the goal of this build is to of course stay alive as much as possible. the way I play this build is to use Noospheric Command and Galvanized Coating to keep my Redline Capacitors stacks high. any time I want a special killed I tag them and only use one phosphor shot to debuff them. A few of the survivability talents and damage are from having high charges so we will be avoiding using them as much as possible and only be using Voltaic Emitter to survive when cornered and when being shot at as this build does still struggle against large stacks of range. Hopefully one day they will make the personal shield actually useful.
Catachan Mk IV "Devil's Claw" Sword is in my opinion one of the best options for survivability. it's not as deadly as other option but parrying bosses and ragers can be a lifesaver.
Branx Mk XI Phosphor Blast Pistol combined with Noospheric Command is an excellent way of saving ammo and special sniping for free. Our servo skull also keeps flame stacks, Progressive Plating Matrix and Threat Detection Imperative all at max stacks throughout the run without much effort from you.
Ablative Wards can save you at times. especially in havoc when dealing with green puddles and it's effect of dealing corruption damage every 20 seconds is actually more of an upside than you may realise. This damage triggers both Kinetic Energy Distributors and Data Sensor Protocol allowing you to gain significant toughness every 20 seconds in exchange for 1 health rather than 30.
