Description
Best allrounder-frontliner build I had most success with in havoc.
Melee
Best for clearing hordes together with chordclaw (axial slash).
For what it lacks somewhat in damage against armored elites, it can stun lock anything on crit that is not buffed with immunity besides monstrosities and mutants. No need to whip out the arc rifle for every armored unit you see.
Team having trouble with bulwark? Just slap on his shield until the crit stuns him and he's easy pick.
Ranged
The Arc Rifle is very strong and efficient against tough units together with 'System Shock' and 'Retribution Conduit'.
Recommended to proc brittleness (4 times) with it before going head first towards a monstrosity with chordclaw (hold&release) for best damage output.
Arc Rifle already deals high damage against anything with armor.
Therefore carapace and flak damage perks can be swapped with maniac and unyielding.
Blitz
Manually hacking and reviving is only harder to accomplish in havoc, servo-skull is a great utility for both.
Ability
Main source of boss-damage and for one-shotting crushers/bulwarks.
Never keep the ability at max stack for too long to keep 'Redline Capacitors' stacks high.
Do not be shy with using axial slash for horde clearing, capacitance generation is high enough to accommodate that.
