The Dam mission is the fastest mission to complete for the amount of money you get. First area detroy all the mechs and the generator 2nd and 3rd just destroy the generators and mission over.
Honestly I find destroying the strider mission far easier and faster. Just go left on "spawn" until your behind it and the eye won't hit you and you can take out its leg quickly
How do you get him to stay so close to you? Ill fly at him hit him a few times then he'll fly to one of the opposite corners of the map over and over again
You can add some OS Tuning from Chapter 1 to this as well. You can add Assault Armor to this to break his shield at the beginning of the fight when you rush under his first missile barrage. You can also add "kick" for when you Assault Boost to close in on him during his second phase. Makes the cheese a little easier.
@@chrisstevens8087 Yes, in the OS Tuning menu, look to the bottom and there is a button mapped to "Reset OS Tuning Points" or similar. It costs COAM but not much.
If you JUST cant quite win this fight with this build, try switching out the laser sword and plasma rifle for a bazooka/grenade launcher. I used uncharged attacks from the shoulder cannons and then would burst with the pother two guns once he was stunned. Thanks for the build dude, after tweaking it to my style I was able to get it first try!
Yup, the two laser cannons, plasma rifle and bazooka worked for me after about half an hour of trying with the bubble gun. Took its shield down pretty fast, gave it some charged blasts once it fell and that was it.
Ive been stuck for on Balteus for 3 days. I just beat it. I used two bubble guns, instead of sword and rifle. The build checks out mostly. Stay close, dodge rockets and MAINLY keep it staggered.
But how do you evade nonstopp rockets that chase you even if you dodged them once before and then he just spamms his cannon once my energy for evading is depleted. if i charge him with a sword he will either fly away or hit me before i hit him :( So annoying how they can spamm their abilitys nonstop.@@Blackfang_12
I’ve beaten the game twice so far. I recommend using shotguns, but idk if any are available by Balteus. If not, getting underneath balteus and using high damage attacks works really well. Once you’re underneath him he basically gets stunlocked and dies, just dodge the big aoe attack. Even his flame sword thingy won’t hit you if you stay underneath him
NG+ so I kept all my stuff from the first run. I haven't bothered to make a new one cause I'm going for NG++. So idk when shotguns become available cause I never used them before late game.@@Wunderhass
Yeah you get one set of shotguns. If you use weapon bays the set of shotguns you have early on are very fast swapping so you can rotate the reload with several weapons for combos
This still didn't work for me. Went back to a mid-range bipedal, two plasma launchers on the shoulders and shotgun in each hand. Nailed Balteus on the first go. Plasmas pop his shields, homing ability means you hardly ever miss and there's plenty of ammo to last. Shotguns when you're up close and he's shieldless. The missiles are easy to dodge, don't be intimidated. It's most dangerous attack is the bazooka, get used to jumping and hovering. Keep EN in the tank for when the flame sword or pulse blast comes out.
This still took me a LOT of tries because he kept flying literally to the other end of the map, and I only beat him by switching right hand weapon to the bubble gun (which has shorter range but drains the stagger gauge nonstop). Like other people said, stay as close as possible and try to laser sword him as much as possible. When he’s staggered, fucking mash all the buttons until he recovers. If you dodge when he know he’s about to, sometimes you’ll stay next to him and get another sword chance and can just tap all the buttons to shoot him point blank. Assault armor is a huge help, you buy it with chips from the arena. It does enough AOE damage to get him 70% staggered, *and* cancels all incoming attacks. It might be smart to save it for the second half of his health bar when you want to reduce the time you’re trying to stagger him while he goes bonkers with flames and missiles. (Don’t forget you have to equip it in the expansion slot). Just like the fight immediately before this, sometimes he makes it way easier to stay close and overwhelm him. Sometimes you fight him and he zooms 500 feet away whenever you get near.
OK, this worked on the first try and I love you. I've fought this guy so many times. SO MANY TIMES. I went back to grind for new gear on three different occasions. This build saved me from giving up the game in frustration. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
People who can’t beat it with this build aren’t playing it right. I literally did EXACTLY what did this guy did from the get go and beat in one try (after a few fumbled attempts trying to do it my own way). You gotta boost through most of those missiles and then hammer the shit out of him with your weapons. You’ll get it eventually, this build did it for me.
Dude, thanks for this. Worked like a charm on the first attempt. I just followed your build and once the fight started I stepped on the gas never letting up. I actually struggled a good bit last night, but eventually had to give up so I could get some sleep in before work the next day. I stewed over it quite a bit today while working and eventually caught your video. And yea, super easy this go around. Cheers man.
My build was very similar, except I was bipedal. I used all laser rifles though. The trick is not charging the laser cannons on your back to full power, but rather just doing quick shots to bring his shields down fast. If he's frozen and you can get a big blast off then go for it. The nice thing about all laser rifles is that you can pretty much do damage 100% of the time.
Bro..thanks for sharing this build man..I mean I've struggled a lot with this boss fight. And that's the moment I watch your video and copy your build..damn it's good!! Thanks man once again..
This build did help me. I found that OS tuning for assault armor and kick helped. Laser on each shoulder, bubble gun in one hand, and pulse rifle in the other. When i staggered him i hit him with charged lasers. Once he starts with the fire whip, you just gotta fly above him
Dude second try with this build and I tore him up. Now this is the build for this Mf!!! I've tried like 5 other video builds and this rocked him. Thank you thank you.
Oh man, with this method, this boss was easy as........ I swapped sword with bubble gun. Spamming shoulder cannons with plasma rifle while keep holding the bubble gun. The battle was finished before it felt even challenging. Which made my previous 2 hours of trying with precise aiming and dodging seemed pointless, and it was pointless as I couldn't even get its hp down to 40%...... I'm thankful that I passed this boss, but boy do I have mixed feelings

Great build! I was able to beat Balteus without it! I found that applying pressure and simply unloading your ACs abilities as soon as they recharge is the way to go! Cheers 🍻
It’s a testament to how great this game is that I’ve easily whiffed 30+ attempts at Balteus and am still enjoying each time I try again. But for real, thanks for this! I’m going to try some other builds first, but it’s nice to know I can fall back on this strategy if I get well and truly stuck.
There is a pulse gun you can buy for each hand, use it, melts shield, then use shoulder lasers, they're the dmg dealers period. Medium mech legs the ones that start with M, you'll see which gen to use etc to make the setup work. Boom, he's dead. Thats the beauty of the game, your cheese build works for you and there are yet other ways made to melt him.
I was able to beat him with a build that is all the strongest stagger weapons, 2 8x missile launchers, laser sword, and bazooka. All are slow to reload, but if you attack with missiles at range, and close in to hit him with the sword, then bazooka (you don't take damage at close range from it), you can stagger him 2 or 3 times before he recovers the shield. It's all in the timing of your volleys.
Omg! Tank you SO MUCH for uploading this! Man, I kept dying when I tried to go I AM SPEED with this guy. Beat him in one try when I went the I. AM. TANK. way. Again, tank you.
I beat this boss with a not so good build but yeah the trick i did was rushing at the boss. I didn’t even noticed the 2nd phase where boss has flamethrower and fire melee attacks. Oh and this build looks awesome with the tank legs and the amount of movability you have its great.
Huge massive mistake in editing for this video. I accidentally let the starting clip play for 2 minutes, it was only supposed to be a 15 second clip. The build can be seen for like 1 second at the start of the video. I don't really have any way I can fix this, this is why I shouldn't stay up until 4AM working on videos, I don't know how I didn't catch this.

@@ebaymanagain for the right arm it's the Vvc-760PR plasma rifle (but I used the HU-16:GU-Q1 Pulse gun. Works better at disabling his shield) The left Arm is the HI-32:BU-TT/A pulse blade - the upgrade to your sword The back is the VP-60LCS rail guns The body is currently the one that provides the most AP available
I somewhat used your build I couldn’t use the share code, so I just went off of what you said, but didn’t use the weapons and it worked out for my weapons. I used double bazookas because that was working for me before I even went to TH-cam and I actually ended up beating it when I put on the tank body
Thank is to you I finally handed Balteus his arse. Much appreciated. For anyone unable to outrun the fire or dodge the missiles I just got in close and spammed everything leaving the charged blade for when I knew it would hit. This kept him in stagger for most of the fight.
Can confirm I beat Balteus with this build, mostly by keeping at optimal range and spamming the shoulder weapons. Adding assault armor to this build adds a little burst of damage. As a bonus, this build melts all the level E arena fights too.
Took me a couple tries but this worked. I ended up swapping the sword for a second plasma gun though since i had a hard time keeping balteus close enough to really capitalize on melee.
Bro thanks so much I used this build and strategy to beat this boss 1st attempt after like 30 attempts with my current build. Worked like a charm. And got S rank on destroy the test AC mission.
Quickest way to take down the shield is dual the microwave gun's (seriously) shoulders these same lazers. Take the shield down and just keep lazering. Don't charge them
Used your build, but had to take out the laser sword for the grenade launcher as I couldn’t get him him to connect. Trick I found is you hit eat button in clockwise motion to get his health down.
Oh good man, you are a saint! With this build I beat Balteus after 4 tries. While with my builds had over 20 attempts and nothing helped. Praise you and your children, health and wealth be upon you and your seed.
This might just be me, but I found that a build consisting of: [The starting AR, The same laser sword, Starting missile launcher, Pulse missile launcher, The fist reverse jojnt legs you can buy Highest possible AP whilst not being overweighted, I forgot the other stuff, Turn your AC into an EMP] Wotked ghe best for me. The problem with using bipedal legs or tank tracks is that you trade dodging more attacks to being able to tank a few more attacks. Furthermore, with a tank build its almost impossible dodging the flamethrower attacks where its a pincer or where he burns the ground. With bipedal legs you can dodge most attacks, only taking damage from the attacks where he uses a shit ton of homing missiles or splash damage from explosions. Here's the tactics I used: At the start of the fight use both shoulder weapons while combat boosting forwards, then dodge left using the thumbstick to avoid the vertical missiles, hold L2/LB to use the sword's charge attack (only use this sword attack). Now the fight has actually begun. Try to avoid using your AR to save ammo, only using it while he is vunerable and at medium to close range to get the best damage out of it. If you see openings, use your sword. Spam the shoulder explosive missiles when possible and the pulse missiles just before and during him being covered by the shield. When he moves around the map (in phase 1) chase his ass down and cut him up with that extremely strong sword). Phase 2 doesn't always start with ab EMP so at around 50% health keep medium distance until you are certain which phase he is in. After he uses his EMP, find an opening and use your own. He always starts phase 2 with gattling guns whilst moving, into a diagonal downwards flamethrower swing, into one or two shotgun shots, into one side horizontal missiles. After this he usually does a 3 swing flamethrower combo but it might be RNG. Keep distance from the flamethrower swings and dash into whichever side the swing initially started from. Remember, no i-frames in AC6. He has two more attacks involving his flamethrowers: he will either do a vertical attack which burns the ground into using his flamethrowers from range, or a horizontal pincer attack. The pincer attack is the best one, because it is easily dodged even when dealing with delayed missile attacks and opens him up to sword attacks. To recap: at the start of phase 2 he will use a specific flamethrower combo, after that both normal and flamethrower attacks. Keep far range and only close the distance immediately after the last flamethrower attack in a combo. Good luck. It might take 48 deaths but you will eventually succeed.
This build doesn't work for me. He moves around so much that my aim and camera can't keep up, the shots miss and he flies and stays out of range high in the air half the match making him unreachable with my blade. The few times he returns to the ground he flies across the map the moment I close the distance and spams enough missiles to shave off 70%+ of my health at times, especially if he manages to nuke me with his big missile from close range before he flies off. And that's not taking into account the massive blades he uses once he hits half health, which nuke half my health in a few seconds.
This build doesn't work, he just keeps staggering me. After watching a few more time I notice that you get lucky several times with him getting stuck against you or the ground. I am not getting this to happen. Whenever I get close, he boosts away and because I'm on tank treads, he just turns around and launches more missles and other stuff. I can't stress how much the tank treads suck. There is zero maneuvering and your armor isn't good enough to face tank stuff like this. I almost died to Sulla using this build.
Everyone keeps recommending the tank build, but I'd much more recommend the Nachtreiher build for all the skilled Soulsborne vets playing. Duel wield shotguns, plasma guns and the laser blade (what ever combo works for you). Get in close and personal using the close quarters combat chip...don't waste shotgun ammo at range, switch to plasma for mid range but they work close up too. Note, I tried exclusively with duel shotguns and the laser sword and did pretty well with ONE SHOT left. 😅
I finally won using that build, but I used a pulse gun instead of the sword. The enemy just moved out of range too fast for me to get a good hit, and during the second phase, trying to stay close to it just got me obliterated by the fire sword attacks.
Grinding my teeth at this guy last evening....I'll give this build a shot. I was soooooooooooo close like 1/16 of his health with twin plasmas, 16 vert rockets...medium build. I'll try this tanky dude! Thanks!
Great build thx man, i just changed the weapons for two bubble guns that melts the shield very quickly, just keep spamming them on medium range along with the cannons. I find him difficult to hit meele since he moves too much, and the laser blade is so slow
i don't typically play games like this, i'm much more of a "comfy" gamer, but i decided to step outside of my comfort zone and try this... my god... people i know were like, "oh yeah the first boss took me six tries..." meanwhile i don't dare admit i spent over four hours before i even completed the tutorial lmao. but i got the hang of it and then this asshole gundam destroyed my enthusiasm. but now i'm finally done. bless u and the cheese build.
All right, I just beat him with this build. It took about 4 to 5 tries after I did the build. And yeah just keep getting right up in his face and swing and fire. I got the VP 20D generator. Fsc fc-006 abbot, also I used the assault armor expansion
I got him with two laser rifles and 2 laser canons and basically just fired nonstop at him. I couldn't follow your build exactly cause I didn't want to restart the whole mission to buy the parts I didn't have, however your video was helpful thank you.
I worked all the way up from a lightweight build to this because dodging is meaningless against those massive barrages. Kudos to Fromsoft for embracing an approach to this game that demands you not just beat your face against the wall until it breaks. Having to learn different builds is great Still don't like the tank base tho lol
I win at the 8th tried. And watch twice your video play. I found out I should not speed charge and dooge. Besides, I just spin the sword like dances plus shoulders are main weapons if he tried to escape. left hand are surprisingly the second weapon instead in case no melee. Interesting and helpful build❤🎉. 🙏 thank you and definitely 👍 like and subscribe your Channels. You are the saviour on the days.😊😊
To make this a little bit easier, when Balteus is staggered try to hit him in the back with the laser cannons. It does a lot more damage there
I thought so. When he has those rows of laser guns come out, they also shield him pretty good.
So back shots deal more damage you say
Thankyou!
“Use this cheese build” IM ALREADY USING THE CHEESE BUILD
The Dam mission is the fastest mission to complete for the amount of money you get. First area detroy all the mechs and the generator 2nd and 3rd just destroy the generators and mission over.
Honestly I find destroying the strider mission far easier and faster. Just go left on "spawn" until your behind it and the eye won't hit you and you can take out its leg quickly
How do you get him to stay so close to you? Ill fly at him hit him a few times then he'll fly to one of the opposite corners of the map over and over again
You can add some OS Tuning from Chapter 1 to this as well. You can add Assault Armor to this to break his shield at the beginning of the fight when you rush under his first missile barrage. You can also add "kick" for when you Assault Boost to close in on him during his second phase. Makes the cheese a little easier.

Yup, the two laser cannons, plasma rifle and bazooka worked for me after about half an hour of trying with the bubble gun. Took its shield down pretty fast, gave it some charged blasts once it fell and that was it.
Found that using the bubble gun worked wonders instead of the purple cannon. Getting the shield down that much quicker was nice.
Cannon longer range, bubble blower hella close range. I tried both and while I agree, ultimately I'd still go with the cannons.
@@mukdukk agreed, bubble gun is sick but hes basically road runner.
Been stuck on him for days. Downloaded your build and got him second try. Thank you.

He still beat me doing this
@@justanotherofmanychannels6029 obviously, wtf else would it be
He is still kicking my ass but I haven’t got the exact build, I have the weapons and tracks but that’s it.
The key is dodging through the missiles at an forward + upward, diagonal angle. Otherwise they take off way too much damage to survive the encounter.
Try not to get hit as much so he doesnt stamina break you

Glad I’m not the only one that calls it the bubble gun. I’m not there yet but I heard it melts his shield bar.
Good tip! Double bubble trouble!! Just got this done after a long day lol
Great advice! The two bubble guns worked after being stuck on this boss for a week.

Took me a couple tries but this worked. I ended up swapping the sword for a second plasma gun though since i had a hard time keeping balteus close enough to really capitalize on melee.
The only hard boss in the game but because it requires luck not skill
Bro thanks so much I used this build and strategy to beat this boss 1st attempt after like 30 attempts with my current build. Worked like a charm. And got S rank on destroy the test AC mission.
Finally got him with this build, thank you!
Quickest way to take down the shield is dual the microwave gun's (seriously) shoulders these same lazers. Take the shield down and just keep lazering. Don't charge them
Thanks for this helpful video! Continue this great work
Used your build, but had to take out the laser sword for the grenade launcher as I couldn’t get him him to connect. Trick I found is you hit eat button in clockwise motion to get his health down.
Oh good man, you are a saint! With this build I beat Balteus after 4 tries. While with my builds had over 20 attempts and nothing helped. Praise you and your children, health and wealth be upon you and your seed.
holt shit thank you so much! was struggling hard with balteus and this build got me through!
Super useful thx ! I hope you'll get the same video for the other bosses
This might just be me, but I found that a build consisting of:
[The starting AR,
The same laser sword,
Starting missile launcher,
Pulse missile launcher,
The fist reverse jojnt legs you can buy
Highest possible AP whilst not being overweighted,
I forgot the other stuff,
Turn your AC into an EMP]
Wotked ghe best for me. The problem with using bipedal legs or tank tracks is that you trade dodging more attacks to being able to tank a few more attacks. Furthermore, with a tank build its almost impossible dodging the flamethrower attacks where its a pincer or where he burns the ground. With bipedal legs you can dodge most attacks, only taking damage from the attacks where he uses a shit ton of homing missiles or splash damage from explosions.
Here's the tactics I used:
At the start of the fight use both shoulder weapons while combat boosting forwards, then dodge left using the thumbstick to avoid the vertical missiles, hold L2/LB to use the sword's charge attack (only use this sword attack). Now the fight has actually begun. Try to avoid using your AR to save ammo, only using it while he is vunerable and at medium to close range to get the best damage out of it. If you see openings, use your sword. Spam the shoulder explosive missiles when possible and the pulse missiles just before and during him being covered by the shield. When he moves around the map (in phase 1) chase his ass down and cut him up with that extremely strong sword). Phase 2 doesn't always start with ab EMP so at around 50% health keep medium distance until you are certain which phase he is in. After he uses his EMP, find an opening and use your own. He always starts phase 2 with gattling guns whilst moving, into a diagonal downwards flamethrower swing, into one or two shotgun shots, into one side horizontal missiles. After this he usually does a 3 swing flamethrower combo but it might be RNG. Keep distance from the flamethrower swings and dash into whichever side the swing initially started from. Remember, no i-frames in AC6. He has two more attacks involving his flamethrowers: he will either do a vertical attack which burns the ground into using his flamethrowers from range, or a horizontal pincer attack. The pincer attack is the best one, because it is easily dodged even when dealing with delayed missile attacks and opens him up to sword attacks. To recap: at the start of phase 2 he will use a specific flamethrower combo, after that both normal and flamethrower attacks. Keep far range and only close the distance immediately after the last flamethrower attack in a combo.
Good luck. It might take 48 deaths but you will eventually succeed.
This build doesn't work for me. He moves around so much that my aim and camera can't keep up, the shots miss and he flies and stays out of range high in the air half the match making him unreachable with my blade. The few times he returns to the ground he flies across the map the moment I close the distance and spams enough missiles to shave off 70%+ of my health at times, especially if he manages to nuke me with his big missile from close range before he flies off.
And that's not taking into account the massive blades he uses once he hits half health, which nuke half my health in a few seconds.
fr this guy LIEDDD
Thank you! Beat him first try with this build.
God this fight was pissing me off. Using this build i got it in about 3 tries but still barely made it. Just glad to have it over with!
Thanks Kibbles this boss was a royal pain in the butt!
Thanks for this, I was able to kill Balteus first try after being stuck for weeks. Now I can enjoy this game!
This build doesn't work, he just keeps staggering me.
After watching a few more time I notice that you get lucky several times with him getting stuck against you or the ground. I am not getting this to happen. Whenever I get close, he boosts away and because I'm on tank treads, he just turns around and launches more missles and other stuff.
I can't stress how much the tank treads suck. There is zero maneuvering and your armor isn't good enough to face tank stuff like this. I almost died to Sulla using this build.
What platform are you using? Tnx 🙏
Thanks this build really helped.
Dude THANK YOU. I was legit about to give up and then I tried this. First try I got him. I was really struggling before.
2nd try with this build after like 30 attempts on mine. Thank you!
Everyone keeps recommending the tank build, but I'd much more recommend the Nachtreiher build for all the skilled Soulsborne vets playing. Duel wield shotguns, plasma guns and the laser blade (what ever combo works for you). Get in close and personal using the close quarters combat chip...don't waste shotgun ammo at range, switch to plasma for mid range but they work close up too.
Note, I tried exclusively with duel shotguns and the laser sword and did pretty well with ONE SHOT left. 😅
MASSIVE HELP, thanks dude
Beat him on my first try with this build. Thank you!
Props on the build. First timed him with it!
you a real one for this setup, beat him on the 3rd attempt 👌🏼
HOLY SHIT IT WORKED. Been stuck on him for DAYS. THANK YOU
2:31 "First Balteus fight"... fucking what!?
For people still having trouble with this build and beat the boss the secret is to spam your buttons as much as possible especially when you stun him
100% this and sniff his pits first stage and second stage is keep away.
I finally won using that build, but I used a pulse gun instead of the sword. The enemy just moved out of range too fast for me to get a good hit, and during the second phase, trying to stay close to it just got me obliterated by the fire sword attacks.
thank you you're my favorite person of the week
Grinding my teeth at this guy last evening....I'll give this build a shot. I was soooooooooooo close like 1/16 of his health with twin plasmas, 16 vert rockets...medium build. I'll try this tanky dude! Thanks!
Great build thx man, i just changed the weapons for two bubble guns that melts the shield very quickly, just keep spamming them on medium range along with the cannons. I find him difficult to hit meele since he moves too much, and the laser blade is so slow
same i've never been good w/ the swords so i first tried with his build just with two Pulse guns instead
Approved ✅
thank you so much!! i was close to giving up on this game entirely but with this i managed to beat him on my third try!
Thank you very much! Worked for me
i don't typically play games like this, i'm much more of a "comfy" gamer, but i decided to step outside of my comfort zone and try this... my god... people i know were like, "oh yeah the first boss took me six tries..." meanwhile i don't dare admit i spent over four hours before i even completed the tutorial lmao. but i got the hang of it and then this asshole gundam destroyed my enthusiasm. but now i'm finally done. bless u and the cheese build.
what a legend. thank you sir
Awesome. We got him first try after this build. Probably only took a minute. Thanks
I followed your instructions to the letter sir and you got me through that mission. All hail the '8DQXG6D82862' cheese!
What system? I just tried this on PS5 and it says no AC Data
@@armymech87 I'm on PC but I don't think it matters. Just copy paste 8DQXG6D82862 after clicking downloads.
Dang, took him down with1st go at it, been fighting that thing for hours. thanks✌
so far, this is META for the first timer. Thanks dude.
All right, I just beat him with this build. It took about 4 to 5 tries after I did the build. And yeah just keep getting right up in his face and swing and fire. I got the VP 20D generator. Fsc fc-006 abbot, also I used the assault armor expansion
I got him with two laser rifles and 2 laser canons and basically just fired nonstop at him. I couldn't follow your build exactly cause I didn't want to restart the whole mission to buy the parts I didn't have, however your video was helpful thank you.
Thank you so much for your video!
Dude took him down several times in 5 mins. Goat.
When the boss starts going insane with the close range melee, it's over for me every time
Until now. Just got him by managing to just keep in his face
I was close to giving up on this game. With this build I destroyed him immediately. THANK YOU.
After 1.5 days trying to beat him….I finally kicked his ass with this build lol Thank you
20 tries my build, no win.. this build: 2 tries
I worked all the way up from a lightweight build to this because dodging is meaningless against those massive barrages.
Kudos to Fromsoft for embracing an approach to this game that demands you not just beat your face against the wall until it breaks. Having to learn different builds is great
Still don't like the tank base tho lol
Tried this and beat it 1st time! Cheers!
I win at the 8th tried. And watch twice your video play. I found out I should not speed charge and dooge. Besides, I just spin the sword like dances plus shoulders are main weapons if he tried to escape. left hand are surprisingly the second weapon instead in case no melee. Interesting and helpful build❤🎉. 🙏 thank you and definitely 👍 like and subscribe your Channels. You are the saviour on the days.😊😊
So OP build, thx for this i already defeat balteus for so many rounds.
Worked like a charm, thanks man
