Hey, I’m Yona from QA and my favorite build in Lethal Honor is
Electric Overkill. It’s not named like that in the game, but you’ll see what I mean.
The central element of this build is definitely the “Electric Coil” ability, which lets you place an electric coil every few seconds. When you place it, it will discharge a shock and connect with all other electric coils in the area. Now, those coils don’t do a lot by themselves, but they have a certain strength in numbers, so next we need a few more ways to place them around the battle areas.
An easy way to do this is via the “Trapper’s Kinetic Implant” artifact, which lets you drop a coil when dashing. It has a certain cooldown to it, but it’s enough to get an initial set of electric coils out at the beginning of each fight.
The most important element of the build is the artifact “Security Bots”, which makes it so enemies that were afflicted by Brittle will drop an electric coil when they die. Given that the shock ability of the coils will make enemies Brittle, this will almost always create another coil when enemies die to a shock chain.
To make the chaos complete, you can collect enchantments that will extend the lifetime of electric coils or make it so removing brittle from enemies will trigger other types of ailments or additional damage.
Now, when playing this particular build, I usually refrain from using any regular attacks during combat and instead fully focus on placing more and more coils and then triggering chain reaction after chain reaction. It’s so satisfying to watch those shockwaves move between dozens of coils and killing everything that’s standing in between them.
However, if you want to go all out, you can also
imbue your weapon with the Brittle affix in a Crafting Node, which will then trigger the surrounding electric coils on every strike with your sword. But that’s a bit of an Overkill. See. I told you the name would make sense!
Anyhow, try out this build for yourself or create your very own in our
Demo, which is live now on Steam! There will be
even more possibilities once the full game releases! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2922460/Lethal_Honor__Order_of_the_Apocalypse_Demo/
