Wait, so thats the max stat?
Guess so, but dunno
Thatās the only possible roll, lore legendaries all had their stats averaged. I donāt know why theyāre 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 āhealth receivedā gear works for Deandeās life steal?
Yes, +Healing Received affects both Leechsteel and Drain Dash Life Leech, same as on any other character with Life Steal.
Not that itās really needed in PvE, Iām usually on top of Healing Done without +Healing Received gear.
But for PvP, it might be worth considering, given the fact that youāre limited to Drain Dash for selfheal if youāre going for Uppercut at Level 3.
(Although there are several ābetterā stats for her, namely Attack Speed, or Damage, or CD reduction, ā¦ which I would all prefer to Healing Received)
Thanks. I prefer Attack Speed myself, as I think thatās the one thing she really lacks, but itās good to know that health revcieved works just in case I need it 
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.
Deande has passive lifesteal so you donāt 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.
Iāve 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
Anyone know if Long Goodbye works on Deandeās holoclones?
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 isnāt much, I assure you), Iāve never encountered a pure 1v1 fight that hasnāt ended extremely quickly.
Due to my usual grab of Leechsteel I donāt go with Drain Dash because it removes quite a bit of potential damage, though at level six I usually choose Ireās Echo since I go with Wonder Twins at level 1. I havenāt gotten enough good gear for a burst dash/calculated risk build yet though, so I canāt speak for the damage it can do, but the way I play, as long as Iām being smart itās very difficult to kill me.
Her passive lifesteal also procs from her thrown fans, Leechsteal Brooch only affects skills so has no impact on melee or thrown fans.
I believe Iāve played quite a bit of games with her, and I think I even tested it once and didnāt see my health go up after dealing health damage to an enemy with the thrown fans. Iām going to run a story mission now and test it out real quick (as itās the easiest for me to test it out on, due to increased control of environment), shall let everyone know afterwards.
I have tested and can confirm, Iām a Master of Deande with over 90 games.
Yeah, I just saw that (Also her level three helix is called Leechsteel, so thatās what I was referencing, not the legendary.) Still it gives her even more survivability, which I use to constantly harass and evade from enemies, but again, I donāt have that great of gear yet. (Almost a MoD too, just got four XP left, but I have played far less games than you. (I would like it on record that me and one other person double Deandeād the Voids Edge when it was scaled up to five people, since they all died with no extra lives and then left, while I was the only person around at the time, soon to find enough lives to bring back the other player.)
Oh lol my bad, the Leechsteal Brooch is often shortened to āLeechstealā or just āBroochā haha.
I havenāt used her level 3 life steal since beta when I realised she already had passive lifesteal, I heavily favour thrown fans so naturally I take that augment at level 3 and if youāre low on health throwing fans at minions quickly rectifies that.
Deande is very dangerous on Incursion, and very hard to kill overall. That, I believe, is where her true strength lies. An extra 10% sounds nice though it sounds better before you notice the unlisted 10% she already has. Sheās also quite underrated in PvE where her ranged attack with easy crits can mow through enemies and keep her healthy. Any attack speed gear does wonders for Deande, the Stone Edge of Arcvynorr in particular would be amazine as she can consistently hit crits and in doing so throw fans even faster! Combine that with an epic (purple) Jennerit gauntlet (which is what I use on her) and watch her DPS skyrocket and with it her life steal.
Iāve only recently acquired the SEoA, havenāt had a chance to test it though.

Yeah, they might have to make a new tag thingie for her, so instead of assassin she would be listed as evasive, or something, to signify how difficult she often is to take down.
I often use the lifesteal increase as it applies to all fan attacks (ranged/melee, not BD), but the ranged increase would also be a good one, though Iād personally rather have more health recovery overall.
Honestly, if she already has an innate 10% an additional 10 sounds really good to me, since itās making it heal for even more than it was previously, rather than an additional 18% damage on one type of attack, of which only 10% of that damage is returned as life. I personally have a really hard time landing hits with her ranged attack, let alone crits. Also, why do you not use her Legendary? It offers incredible survivability potential and makes her an even more difficult target to take out, even if only temporarily.
I might also be one of the few people who really, really hate the Uppercut mutation, since it just makes her a massive target and removes all of her mobility.

Nah man I hate Uppercut but mostly because Iām trying to crit with melee for a status effect. For me the Uppercut only really works on overextended players that donāt know how to break the juggle and to teams not paying attention to one another. I want to run Boots of the Brute + Heliophagic Goggles + (rare sword)Attk Speed/Crit Hit Dmg. I run a build that gets a lot of mileage out of fan tosses though since they monster crit and give her some nice spike damage.
On the Lifesteal situation. I feel like pumping Crit Damage is the way to go since itās a percentage off the damge you inflict and with Attack Speed and Crit Damage, youāre stealing a ton off of the innate 10% while also increasing your kill potential. Thrown fans become your self-heal basically and Thralls melt in front of you.
Right now Iām settling for (Rare Glove) +Attk Dmg/+Attk Speed, (Rare Sword) +AttkSpeed/+Crit Dmg, and Heliophagic Goggles.
This is typically how I build her but Iām sure it can be improved: Deande Build
Ah but in the same regard youāre increasing the life steal amount from the thrown fan attack by increasing its damage. If you donāt use it often though thatās your preference.
Iād suggest you practice and start focusimg more on her alt fire as though it were her primary attack, those things are crit magnets. Theyāre also good for those enemies who think theyāre getting away because of how slow Deande is. Every third hit (before the split) is double damage, take the thrown fan augment at level 3 and they do more DPS overall (at mid-range) than her melee attacks.
My phone shat itself and I can no longer āquoteā
On her legendary, I use it sometimes in conjunction with a +shield capacity item for her level 4 augment that strips your shield and adds it to Burst Dash. With that and the level 6 15% damage augment, it hits for 575 damage (From full shield of 440 capacity) at level 6 which is more than most ults at that level.
On the uppercut, ugh itās so overtared. I agree all it does is make a stealth assassin a big visible target and thatās bad for business. A little bit of air control, a quick melee, a dash of any kindā¦ So many things that can break the uppercut. And itās not like it increases her DPS to insane levels, all the people who complain about likely got caught in it one time and panicked then rushed to the forums with screams of āOP nerf!ā
