Ways to improve the build. 1. Unlock and level Engineer to max to have Fortify trait for every class, which increases armor by 50% at level 10. 2. Get Siphoner trait from the timed dungeon in N'erud, 3% lifesteal at level 10. 3. Unlock and level Summoner to max to have Regrowth trait for every class, which gives 1.5 health regen/sec at level 10. 4. Already mentioned in vid, but Barkskin trait gives 10% DR at level 10. This, combined with Fortify from Engineer, will give insane survivability on top of health regen. For those that don't know, trait points are capped at 60. If you take the traits I mentioned, you'll have used 40 trait points(assuming you don't use Engineer or Summoneras a sub class), leaving you with 20 to do with as you please.
These are great tips once you have advanced further and leveled all the classes to 10 and can access the traits as described. Will take you a while, but worth it.
Started as a Gunslinger and went for the sniper. Saw the Bonesaw and I swear that weapon paired with gunslinger is OP! Long reload? Yeah gunslinger doesn't care about that. I was going to go Handler or Engineer as my 2nd archetype, but looking at Medic that might actually be a better choice :O
Bonesaw is amazing with any build if you equip the hotshot mod and the ring of malice. You can have 100% uptime on hotshot with just that 1 ring and the mod generation trait. Hotshot does an instant reload of the bonesaw. I like to add the mutator that has a chance per shot to add ammo to the reserves. The bonesaw just keeps shooting.
Nicely done. Yet id suggest giving summoner + handler a go. Minions heal and buff you. Doggo heals, revs, and buffs you. Not forgetting that doggo+minions help take most aggro of off you and attack. Breezing through right now. With not even the correct accesories.
The first two or three levels before getting some loot and unlocking the first class perks and skills are the toughest on your first journey - it get´s significantly easier after that and once you unlock the ability to slot a second class I found the first difficulty even to easy sometimes. Every elite or boss enemy that seems invulnerable hast some weak spot or phase in it attacks where you can deal damage - look out for that!
Almost exactly my playstyle, same archetypes in the same order, but im all in with melee, though I use the same guns you do as needed. Greatsword all day lol.
@@wholesomegamer I actually really enjoy it, but for the few times melee isn't a great option, I sub challenger for engineer. Works well as a similar build but with more ranged options.
@@egonbeepboop Melee is pretty awesome and the Challenger Archetype with the right rings and amulet should be pretty good at it. But there are some bosses that you can´t reach with melee attacks, like some floating/flying ones. So some pew pew is needed.
Can't get the game to function properly on the ally. It works 720p medium settings at like 50fps average. There's no stuttering, but it just suddenly crashes.
6:12 I didn't understand well because of the accent, in which world you can get the spear? Is it Yaesha? BTW as I'm not a native myself, I tend to add subtitles for that reason. Although the accent also drives engagement like this because people comment when this happens haha Nice video!
I'm planning to start medic, thinking of either challenger or handler to pair it with. Medic and challenger seem good together! Could you please show medic and handler next?
@@wholesomegamer Yeah medic and handler are really interesting combo to me cause of all the healing solo and also team support. Plus having the dog pet, companion is just really cool for lots of stuff I think, heal, aggro, buffs, I think I'd want medic as my main and handler as the secondary archetype but unsure which class main perk is really the best to have. Regardless guess I'll start with gunslinger because it's a preorder bonus and apparently if you don't choose gunslinger as you initial character then you have to unlock him later.
Yea try this in nightmare the game gets ridiculously hard enemies start 2 shorting you so you have to be extra careful I don’t even wanna try apocalypse yet that one just says good luck 😱
Build update for Apocalypse will go up on Thursday/Friday. No matter what you do, Apocalypse is meant do crush you in a few swings, for those who enjoy stuff like that. But check out the upcoming "Shock-Trooper" build that is able to play on that difficulty.
I was thinking the same build. I want to be a super tank with mellee weapon. Maybe if we can exchange a bit of tankiness for dmg it could be even greater.
No, armor is only important to reach a certain damage reduction and you have to decide if you go with a light or heavy dodge roll, depending on armor weight. Apart from that it is purely cosmetic.
Pretty sure if you are in a grab animation when you enter die hard you are then glitched and invincible...happened to me earlier today. I was either healing at the same time or something but i was 100% invulnerable until i fell off a cliff. It reset
I have a nearly identical build except melee focused, my power level is 8 and I just got to Yaesha, so this is definitely a mid game build, not late game. The thing about remnant is that at some point you will want to go back and re-roll areas, I got lucky to get most of this stuff on the first pass but at any point if you didn't get something you just go back and re-roll. You can do it at any point, early or late.
No, there are no items involved from the last world, so after roughly 50-60% of the game you have access to all locations needed for this build. You only need the Fea-World and Yaesha unlocked. That is why I called it a mid game build.
@@JackJohnson-bw4puWhen you say re-roll do you mean in adventure or campaign? Can't you just keep constantly replaying a level in adventure mode to get what you want?
I don't die with a Soul Ring on and my Engineer turret is shooting the boss... and I can have it up 24/7 due to having 20 Relic Charges (Special Relic)... mixed with Summoner and it's practically a 90% AFK build that takes little to no gear besides the Soul Link Ring. Weird you posted a "End-Game Build" when neither are maxed out and your gear is sub-par.
This is a Mid-Game / Early-Game build for your very first playthrough, as clearly stated in the thumbnail and explained in the video. Sorry if it was unclear.
Are we talking base difficulty or higher because the im already unstoppable with my base difficulty character. Its almost too easy so im having to play the next one. The next difficulty up is actaully pretty challenging at least in parts.
The build holds up in veteran difficulty very well. Sure, you have to be a little more careful, but damage output and the ability to tank damage are holding up great so far in my veteran difficulty adventures.
That is correct, but hardly a problem. The dog also has to be alive, so if things go south the Challengers revive is more reliable but has a higher cooldown.
One run gives you maybe 25% of the possible events, locations and bosses. The whole game is based on replaying it or hopping into adventure mode. It took me 20h to complete my first run with searching every corner...there are SO many hidden passages, side bosses and items to find.
This is an early game build supposed for your first playthrough before unlocking other archetypes or advanced equipment. If I recall correctly it is Survival, to show how easy you can become very durable. It should be mentioned in the video.
@wholesomegamer thanks for the reply...you mentioned it as soon as I hit send lol I really like the challenger archetype so I'm wondering what to pair with it as a second archetype
@@MrTHUD03 Challenger is a great starting point. Medic or Handler for solo players are great secondary classes. Later the Archon or Engineer pair very well with it.
wish the crouch button and climb button worked after engaging in combat and respawning on console. I am surprised how no one is talking about this glitch because it will be another failure for console gaming on the xbox.
Yeah, as a midgame build I figured most will roll their campaign on that difficulty so everyon can see how potent you can become with this build in your first run. But it holds up really well on veteran so far and fully decked out I think it will do great in the late-game.
That is mostly because of my recording in the background. Runs super smooth 95% for me. Only some hickups when initially loading a new area. It is pretty demanding and I presume they will optimize it further with patches, but overall I cannot complain.
@@wholesomegamer I get a lot of freezes in the menu, in cinematics, in combat. Idk is not playable for me. I have around 60-70 fps but the drops feels very bad.
Nearly unkillable and high damage never goes together. Haven't played much of the second game yet but I played more then enough of the first one. You either are a glass canon high DPS build, a tank build or something in between. In rhw first bleed leech was very popular but I wouldn't call this high damage. I wouldn't call the damage here in this video that high either. Specialize in one thing
It really goes together here, the damage perks stack and I guess that you can build these tanky-dps machines is a reaction to some criticism of the first game for punishing solo players to hard.
@@wholesomegamer What? Did you even play the first game. Beam rifle, Radiant Armor and stacking element effects was the meta. It was very flimsy but the damage output was insane. The damage you show in this video is mediocre. I run a Hunter build with Gunslinger as my second archetype. I am not that far in but I use the Chicago Typewriter with the hot shot mod. I do like five or six times your damage and it is very early game. I haven't even tried maxing it out. Damage and tank builds do not go together.
A lot of things work at Survivor difficulty. This is a mid-game build not an end-game build, but nevertheless a build that works together synergies and specifically is meant for people who do their first playthrough and get their feet wet. The "true" builds for endgame and the highest difficulties are of course on a different level. Those will follow later with more detailed breakdowns. Let me know what you think of those once they are available.

@@Jack-mb6eu yea, it's awesome!
Not all heroes wear capes
Pre-ordered the standard version was looking for a solo play build to help me learn the game. Awesome vid, thanks! Subbed 👍

@@kielhawkins9529 Yep, that was my go to at the beginning to. The Ring is supposed to be bugged though and a fix is incoming.
I am using a challenger medic also with that fetish amulet. Just having wellspring made my experience much better
The Healing-Shield is even crazier...pop it and facetank any boss mechanic at this difficulty.
@@wholesomegamer I will try that! I really want to play a ranged class and I think as long as I pair it with the medic it will be fine solo
Started with handler however may look at challenger as been caught out in boss fight where the dog gets killed quickly. Appreciate the video, cheers
Thank you! Yeah, I ran into similar issues with the dog. In some boss fights it is useless or in the best case a small healing beacon.
Nicely done. Yet id suggest giving summoner + handler a go. Minions heal and buff you. Doggo heals, revs, and buffs you. Not forgetting that doggo+minions help take most aggro of off you and attack. Breezing through right now. With not even the correct accesories.
Yeah, summoning builds where also very strong in the first game. SO many classes to level, so little time...
Use the space crabs mod from the hatchery in N'Erud and you've got a party.
There’s an enemy in the first dungeon that is whooping my ass. Covered in metal armor, can’t seem to deal damage. This game is tough as hell.
The first two or three levels before getting some loot and unlocking the first class perks and skills are the toughest on your first journey - it get´s significantly easier after that and once you unlock the ability to slot a second class I found the first difficulty even to easy sometimes. Every elite or boss enemy that seems invulnerable hast some weak spot or phase in it attacks where you can deal damage - look out for that!
The health regen relic would be great with this build
I switched the Relic in the final zone - Resonating Heart - super strong with additional healing effectiveness from the Medic.
Almost exactly my playstyle, same archetypes in the same order, but im all in with melee, though I use the same guns you do as needed. Greatsword all day lol.

You know what? The video is already uploaded and I have an Apocalypse proven build going live today at 4 p.m. CEST 😃
Nice! We’ll keep up the good work with the build because I will most likely be coming for for more!
try the amber moonstone ring with this build ;)

I started with Challenger ( rank 8 currently) can I add Medic now and have similar results?
Sure, the first heal is available immediately, and after a few levels the bonuses of the medic start to kick in.
make ur challener 10 first please , the second class shares 50 % of the xp so if its 10 the other willget 100 % trait xp

Which armour u using? Is it important in your build?
No, armor is only important to reach a certain damage reduction and you have to decide if you go with a light or heavy dodge roll, depending on armor weight. Apart from that it is purely cosmetic.
Great info!! Thank you very Much
Wait, did they change the enigma? It's now completely different than shown in the video and on the wiki. It shoots cubes and the mod gives a shield...
You're thinking about the "Cube gun", also from the labyrinth and very cool, but not the same :)
Yeah, that thing is cool to, as soon as I tested it I wanted to make a shield based build 😆
@@wholesomegamer waait are they both called enigma? I couldnt craft the lightning one
@@FlameableMusic no, one is Cube Gun (which shoots cubes and gives you a shield) the other is Enigma (which shoots lightning)

Die Hard does have an invulnerability window (in some patch notes it was mentioned).
So you basically have to complete the game to have access to all the different worlds to farm for the items for this early to mid game build?
