The point of this build is to control battlefield through control quickhacks and using your mantis blades to pounce when the enemy is vulnerable.

Guide 6 notesPublished
byARamirez_2

This build is super fun and does great on Very Hard difficulty. It's very flexible and can be edited and played using whatever you want, much like Dante in DMC. I found it incredibly enjoyable to just run the dual weild pistols and a sword, but you can easily shift around some perks and weapons to fit a Vergil or Nero build (I recommend Sandy w/ Scalpel or Satori for Vergil, PLS w/ Errata or XMOD-2 Chainsword and Malorian for Nero).

Have fun!!!

Maximizes chaos though setting enemies ablaze

For Long/Medium Range:

  • PLS and Las Chingonas Doradas are really effective when closing the gap and are super fun
  • Can prime enemies with burn for the Errata

For Medium/Short Range:

  • The star of the show: The Errata
  • Handles mobs and bosses with ease

Playstyle:

  • Switch weapons depending on the ebb and flow of the fight
  • Don't forget to me stylish

Monowire build. Spend all your RAM and activate overclock for a massive damage boost. You also continuously discount the Suicide qh by using finishers and Cripple Movement slotted into your wire helps with that and damage.

There are a few possible variations:

  1. Thermal Monowire with Contagion (tier 4 minimum) to spread explosions around.

  2. Sandevistan instead of a cyberdeck. Drop middle Int skills if so.

Dupe cyberware shards to get enough capacity.

After many tests and calculations in Excel, I was able to create a very optimal build in terms of cyberware. As for the weapons, they can be changed for others according to the player's tastes.

This is Stealth Blades Monowire and netrunning its Squishy The old addage applies Its a good thing if you can get shot and survive Its BETTER if you dont get shot at all! and with this build you shouldnt You can collect the guns but just know using guns in combat is not a thing this build does the exceptions being when a mission forces gun play and Guts however Guts is a mobility tool not a gun
