Best Loadout? šŸ¤”

Battleborn Deande
#19

I build a loadout completely focused on Attack Speed, as I play her very similar to this build:

  • Ocular Implant (I could probably switch this for an Ability Catalyst with the same secondary Stat.)
    +10.50% Critical Hit Damage
    +5.60% Attack Speed for 5 seconds after landing a Melee hit
    (714 Shards)
  • ā€œHurricaneā€
    +9.80% Attack Speed
    +5.60% Attack Speed for 5 seconds after landing a Critical hit
    (924 Shards)
  • Vow of Vengeance
    (Donā€™t know the exact stats of mine right know.)
    (1800 Shards)

Comes down to 3438 Shards total activation cost and works pretty good until now.
The Critical Hit Damage + Attack Speed on Critical Hit are a nice buff to her thrown fans.
Although I have to say that I havenā€™t finished her lore yet, so Iā€™ll probably rework this loadout when I get her Legendary.
Also, I think a Movement/Sprint Speed item would be a major improvement.

Kind of off topic but is it possible to get her legendary twice? I got it before they they patched the whole character legendaries are not going to have random stats anymore.

#21

Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s impossible to obtain it twice. And I donā€™t know if already acquired lore legendaries were retroactively changed to the new fixed values, but you might consider taking this to support. Maybe they can change your gear to the new stats, at the very least it might clarify if one is stuck with their lower stat versions.

#22

How do I take it up with support? I may have it maxed but I am quite on unsure. Its Deandeā€™s Fan of Retreat.

There you can sign in with your Shift account and create a support ticket for Battleborn, describing your problem.

Before you do, however, what are the stats on on your Fan of the Retreat?

#24

8.40% attack speed
-3.60% Cool down time

It just seems kind of low haha

#25

A perfect match to the stats wisecarver posted earlier, so Iā€™m going to assume those are max stats.

On a regular item it would be +9.80% Attack Speed and -4.20% CD, but maybe they kept lower stats on her legendary to balance against the unique effect.

@wisecarver: Did you obtain your Fan of the Retreat before or after the fixed stat change?

#26

Shortly after the game released, Steam version.
8.4% Attack Speed
-3.60% Cooldown Timer

ā€¦To be honest, it is somewhat of a joke on us, IMHO, just do the math and it doesnā€™t seem worth the effort for 1800 Act.

I hate the loot in this game, a fan of the game and of each Gbox game, but the loot in this one, gosh.

Wait, so thats the max stat?

#28

Guess so, but dunno

#29

Thatā€™s the only possible roll, lore legendaries all had their stats averaged. I donā€™t know why theyā€™re not maxed, that was supposee to happen but they were averaged instead, perhaps it was a mistake and will be fixed in future.

Does anyone know if the ā€œhealth receivedā€ gear works for Deandeā€™s life steal?

#31

Yes, +Healing Received affects both Leechsteel and Drain Dash Life Leech, same as on any other character with Life Steal.

Not that itā€™s really needed in PvE, Iā€™m usually on top of Healing Done without +Healing Received gear.

But for PvP, it might be worth considering, given the fact that youā€™re limited to Drain Dash for selfheal if youā€™re going for Uppercut at Level 3.
(Although there are several ā€˜betterā€™ stats for her, namely Attack Speed, or Damage, or CD reduction, ā€¦ which I would all prefer to Healing Received)

#32

Thanks. I prefer Attack Speed myself, as I think thatā€™s the one thing she really lacks, but itā€™s good to know that health revcieved works just in case I need it :slight_smile:

#33

Get these two legendaries and run a shard collector!
Vow of vengeance and Stolen edge of acrynorr.

Attack speed goes up to 25% and you get good attack damage.

#34

Deande has passive lifesteal so you donā€™t need either of those skills.

With the shield strip and +15% damage augments at level 4 and 6, respectively, and shield capacity gear, Burst Dash can hit on par with most ults.

#35

Iā€™ve some builds with her but i mostly use

Skill Damage + Shield Strenght
Shield Strenght + Skill Damage
Attack Damage + Shield Strenght
With this build your Burst Dash can deal close to 1000 Damage but you need to run because you use stealth to engage

Vow of Vengence : 9.8% Attack Damage + 5.6% Attack Speed + 9.8% Attack Damage with full Stacks
Vow of Zealous Fury : 9.8% Attack Speed + x.x% crit damage + 9.8% Attack Speed with full Stacks
Boots of the Brute : 5.6% Movement Speed + 5.6% Attack Speed + 3sec Slow every 3sec

  • 19.6% AD + 30.8% AS ===> +50% DPS and Perma Slow (Works for all melee character)

Gogo-Juice was really good on her, but now with the nerfā€¦ not at all

#36

Anyone know if Long Goodbye works on Deandeā€™s holoclones?

#37

Her passive lifesteal only affects her melee attacks, while Leechsteel gives her ranged attacks lifesteal and giver her melee even more. I often go for that over the other two just for the increased survivability, since the uppercut maker her a floating, immobile target. Sure she can potentially lock down one person, but in my experience (Which isnā€™t much, I assure you), Iā€™ve never encountered a pure 1v1 fight that hasnā€™t ended extremely quickly.

Due to my usual grab of Leechsteel I donā€™t go with Drain Dash because it removes quite a bit of potential damage, though at level six I usually choose Ireā€™s Echo since I go with Wonder Twins at level 1. I havenā€™t gotten enough good gear for a burst dash/calculated risk build yet though, so I canā€™t speak for the damage it can do, but the way I play, as long as Iā€™m being smart itā€™s very difficult to kill me.

#38

Her passive lifesteal also procs from her thrown fans, Leechsteal Brooch only affects skills so has no impact on melee or thrown fans.
