Description

Divider

*Updated version based on the classic [King of the Backline build](https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a21d6747-7609-424f-a5c7-b8415d26d941/king-of-the-backline-plasma-mk3-skitarii).*

**One of the most comfortable, tanky, and versatile Skitarii setups.** It packs a massive amount of survivability and high DPS, making it exceptionally smooth to pilot on high difficulties.

### How It Plays
* **Horde Wipe (RMB):** Charged Plasma shots completely annihilate dense horde waves and blast straight through mixed lines.
* **Specialist Sniping (LMB):** Fast, uncharged headshots consistently one-tap specialists and elite gunners before they reposition.
* **Close Quarters:** The Power Sword feels great in melee—whip it out to quickly shred armored targets and ragers when they breach your space.
* **Perpetual Drone & Revives:** Reallocating just 1 point into **Capacitance Regeneration** is more than enough to maintain near-constant Servo-Skull uptime. You get consistent fire support and the ability to pull off clutch, hands-free revives when teammates go down.

Super tanky, handles every threat in the game, and holds up in any pug. Definitely worth your attention.
