Been wiped by squads so many times, but recently I’ve found a new way to play. Bring turrets and hold off a corner away from allies. They can pop xenos off of you and you can pull attention off your squad. Downside is that if you don’t play meta you get bullied for not camping the doorways.
Phalanx is the most powerful but hard to play in the game. Pros: you can stun the jumping red ones and big xenos, safe allies being grappled with shield or shock, and it saves you from bullets of synths and hits of xenos, and you even don't have to shoot little pathogens but just body block them, which is not known among all the plalanx I met in the game. Cons: everytime you are in front of your allies trying to be the wall between them and xenos, the allies the only ones who deal damage to you so like 80+% of damage is from your allies. Phalanx is my fav class, he can cleanse the territory single handedly but again has to avoid ff damage. And after 1200 hrs in the game I noticed that almost nobody knows how to play it, while phalanx has to be in front and the shield of the whole team, they are somewhere far far behind hiding in the corner of the map and 99% of players don't know that there's the ability which can shield dash the red ones preventing them from jumping. For me only this one ability is OP. Good video but the build is non effective on insane or extreme dif. Putting all the perks into shock is not that good, better to buff a shotgun for fire rate and reload speed and add that perk which increase ability recharge time when being with full stacks and the perk that increases movement by 20% when the shield is out.
Phalanx is the best class with solo! This class use grenade launcher without self damage and give one magazine damage with shotgun until alien got stun. This class can parrying alien's attack even swooping patterns! with shield ability aliens got stun. i cleared dlc m1,m2 intense diff by solo with phalanx. (m3's queen is too strong and AI's gunners are useless)
Great build but would it not be better to drop Quick Charge II for either Enhanced Reach II OR Hazard Seals (acid being the bane of the Phalanx) given the fact 53% recharge speed will suffer from diminishing returns?
Don't take the ordinance replacement perk take the fireball thrower and rapid responder opt for debuff and buff damage perk you'll have a phalanx that gets ridiculously strong the more fucked the situation is and melt bosses ridiculously quickly
Can anyone tell me why I can’t find Shock Ordnance in my modifiers? I’ve got shock barrier and concussion pulse, but nothing I can throw. Did this get nerfed??
as much as I want to play this game because I do own a copy on xbox, I can't even matchmake and stay in game long enough to enjoy it and the times I play with my buddy the FPS rate drops from whatever the max rate on the xbox is to like 5fps for no good reason..I'll be honest I have no clue how we managed to beat the pathomorph queen on intense that way frankly. I think it was dumb luck.I really want to enjoy this game too but If I can't play or even matchmake properly I don't know what I can do on my end to be honest. Also I utilized your doc. dragonfly or whatever it was called and modified it a bit more to my own playstyle so for that build idea you have my thanks, also I renamed it Doc. Ryuu.
How do you get Shock Ordinance? I only have Shock Barrier and Concussion Pulse as my ability replacers? Did it get updated out of the game or something?
Phalanx has always been my least favorite class, still fun, just not my style, but watching this made me realize I've probably been playing it wrong lol
the fact that you can't be a vanguard with this class and just do what a technician can already do with their charged coils is utterly ridiculous... if you play the phalanx, even on standard, the way such a class is supposed to be used, you get demolished. -shield bash kill a xeno and you get damaged by its acid -hit a burster and you get stumbled -cant parry acid spits -cant one shot runners without perks -stun is on cooldown on elites -any action lowers your shield -if an enemy is slightly off of your centerline you get hit, 'specially with online desync -shield bash has abismal range you need to decontextualize this class in order to make it useful... what a shame.
"A good phalanx knows how to read xenomorph body language "
Thank you!!! Been Waiting for this!
Paladins! Rise Up!!!!!
I'm so going to enjoy using this build today.
Great build! I didn’t know that the phalanx can block a melee attack from the Queen
Just watch out for her blight attack. 😋
i am gonna try this when i get my gaming rig back from the repairshop, sounds and looks interesting
Subbed. Cool looking build. Just got into the game and phalanx is one of my most interested classes. Thanks for the ideas!
Thanks, bro. Appreciate it. 😁

Yeah. Personally, I'd take Hazard Seals. 👍

Another Great Build

Nice vid!
Oh hi. Lol 🤣
@@Psyqhical Hello, thought I'd support a fellow gamer :)
Much appreciated. 😁
Great bro

It's from the Pathogen DLC. You get it once you've finished the DLC Campaign.
I hope they allow us to mod out own guns at some point. There are so many weapons but only a handful are viable.
Would be cool if we could create our own guns. 😋

How do it get shock ordinance ? I don’t see it as an ability I can unlock 🤔
It's from the Pathogen DLC.
How do you get Shock Ordinance? I only have Shock Barrier and Concussion Pulse as my ability replacers? Did it get updated out of the game or something?
You get it from the Pathogen DLC. Complete the Pathogen Campaign.
Holy crap did they nerf Assault Brake before the devs disappeared? Mine doesn’t have to ACC/Stability.
Should have it. It's when you stand still.
How do you have more than 6 rounds in your heirloom shotgun? Mine won’t let me have more in it. No matter what I do.
Check the Perks and Weapon Attachments carefully.
I did. And the most I can get is 7 rounds in the magazine. So idk, it is what it is. Great build tho. 👍🏻
Hi. What's the second perk you use on the GL Conversion Gun Build?
Second Perk is locked, you cannot change it. 😋
@@Psyqhical Thank you.
Great Video. How do I get the Assault Break attachment?
I got it through Restock Turrets, iirc. 🤔
@@Psyqhical thank you. I will check again I'm on PS5. Also how do you get the numbers shown when you're killing the bugs?
Should be in the gameplay settings.
Where can i get the afterahock?
Sorry, it was so long ago, I don't remember. 😔
I dunt buy heirloom stand what i can replace
Pump shotty. 👍
How do you get this armor
From the Pathogen DLC.
Phalanx has always been my least favorite class, still fun, just not my style, but watching this made me realize I've probably been playing it wrong lol
the fact that you can't be a vanguard with this class and just do what a technician can already do with their charged coils is utterly ridiculous... if you play the phalanx, even on standard, the way such a class is supposed to be used, you get demolished.
-shield bash kill a xeno and you get damaged by its acid
-hit a burster and you get stumbled
-cant parry acid spits
-cant one shot runners without perks
-stun is on cooldown on elites
-any action lowers your shield
-if an enemy is slightly off of your centerline you get hit, 'specially with online desync
-shield bash has abismal range
you need to decontextualize this class in order to make it useful... what a shame.
Diablo 2 fan much? Lol
Shield is the worst thing in the game. Useless.
