$ reliquary deadman
still figuring shit out but this is fairly complete, best character design in this game by far lol. thinking hybrid gun/spirit is the way to go. i've done a lot of messing around in sandbox and played a few matches. this has been solid. V3. 14/10/26
// layne to early
L-R
Long Range
you're going to be very high up most of the time and this begins to counter the falloff
Express Shot
big powerspike. 4.8k gun and synergizes very well with your 1.
Reactive Barrier
procs if you don't hit enemies with your 2 making it either a safeguard or a good escape tool. also activates on ult because it stuns you briefly.
// mid to late
L-R
Tankbuster
spirit 4.8k. essential damage scaling
Fortitude
vitality 4.8k. you'll find yourself roaming a bit thanks to your great mobility, this lets you heal without needing to reset at base.
Spirit Lifesteal
if you dont think you want spiritual overflow for whatever reason this can build into infuser. weird choice but its your choice to make.
Spiritual Overflow
2 and 3 both proc this. great buy
Untitled
everything other than the core build is optional, buy as you need whenever tf you feel like it. most things are annotated
spirit optionsOptional
Mystic Expansion
put on whatever. personally haven't found this necessary though
Cold Front
good for more burst. actually cools down your jetpack a bit which is fucking hilarious
Boundless Spirit
very good. probably always buy.
Spirit Burn
idk about this one
Arctic Blast
i wouldn't go for this, sell cold front and grab something better
vitality optionsOptional
Counterspell
this is just here to fill out the slot for ocd purposes lol. not a bad buy but highly situational and other items are better
Dispel Magic
knockdown is a problem, this solves it. also just generally a great item. removes so much shit in this game.
Diviner's Kevlar
highly reccomend. negates all self damage from the ult and the +40 spirit power is wonderful.
Indomitable
upgrades naturally off reactive barrier. good for survivability and negates the stun from your ult while also just being a really good item currently
Inhibitor
might be nuts still testing
Infuser
pop before ult you'll heal to full and do a loottt of damage
Unstoppable
good if people keep counterspelling you or if you're getting stunned out of ult (is that even possible?)
gun optionsOptional
Escalating Resilience
could be good if getting shredded while using jetpack
guide
general combo is: fly up -> flamethrower to proc items and shred bullet resist -> strix missiles -> shoot until jetpack overheats -> divebomb -> ult if not dead. 3 is highly powerful and procs a lot of items really quickly (e.g. inhibitor, toxic bullets, spiritual overflow, silence, etc.) phantom strike sucks on this guy dont go for it. refresher is also kind of pointless. also deadman's ult is extremely bugged rn so don't use it on weird terrain or you'll just straight up lose your ult and go on CD.
