В steelrising you have to control a reasonable automaton, which must turn the course of history and deal with the insane king Louis XVI. Paris during the revolution is mired in darkness and fire, and its ruler is involved in dark deeds. During the adventure, Aegis will have to fight hordes of mechanical guards of the tyrant, this will help her with the right leveling and choice of equipment.
The guide will tell you about best builds and weapons in Steelrising: what modules to choose and what to spend points on.
Power build
Power build - the easiest, most understandable and obvious way to pump Aegis well. From the beginning of the game, you can use any weapon that has a scaling from this characteristic. The weapons that you can get at the beginning of the game will be useful, but Griboval's Halberd from the starter kit soldier will be one of the best choices.
This tool will work great if supplemented with shield-musket «Charleville 1789". The combination in question will allow you to go through most of the plot if you constantly improve both items.
Features
If we talk about the characteristics, then it is worth focusing primarily on Relics, Energy и Strength. High level Relics will allow you to deliver more powerful blows, it is easier to knock enemies down with power attacks.
At the same time Energy grants a large amount of stamina, allowing you to dodge attacks and go on the offensive on your own. Main benefit Strength is about additional health, allowing you to stay alive longer while hitting with heavy weapons.
Any Aegis gear should focus on increasing the amount of armor to reduce damage. In a power build like this most of the secondary stats won't matter as many enemies will be knocked down in a few hits. Downed opponents will become a victim for further actions, including grenades.
Modules
When collecting modules, it is worth concentrating on improving attack power, health, and the resulting essence of the soul. It is she who helps to improve everything that the Aegis has, allowing you to constantly keep heavy weapons "relevant". Health and strength are the key characteristics of the build.
For these purposes, at the initial stages, it is worth finding the following modules:
- Efficient charging to increase attack power.
- Durability to increase base health.
- Greed to increase the received essence of the soul.
Of the alternatives, one can single out the endurance module.
Weapon
Of the weapons, in addition to the previously mentioned Griboval Halberd, it is well suited fire flail, allowing you to deal additional fire damage, Revenge wheel for those who like to parry and Collected Works for a good blocking of incoming blows.
Agility build
Agility is a stat that requires a focus on positioning in combat, dodges, and combo attacks. The main strategy in this build is the ability to immobilize the enemy for a short period of time, and then deliver a powerful blow while his defense is weakened.
Features
When fighting, you need to combine the maximum number of attacks, but do not suffer. This can be done if dodging the enemy's blows helps immobilize them. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on Agility, Energy и Engineering. Agility will allow you to deal good damage when using weapons that have scales from this characteristic, while it is important to dodge in order to go on the offensive. Important for chains of strikes Energy. Engineering will give some armor for survivability.
Modules
Pay attention to the modules that will increase stamina, paralysis and give a good "window" for cooling when the stamina runs out. Endurance modules will allow you to increase the number of combos and dodge more. Paralysis modules will make it easier to stun enemies for powerful hits, and Efficient ventilation will make it possible to replenish the stamina meter in order to be sure that the desired maneuver can be performed at any time. It instantly restores stamina and reduces ice damage taken.
Weapon
If we talk about equipment, then it is worth highlighting several requirements. Armor should block elemental statuses, because using agility, you can’t get burned or frozen. Such protection will also free the inventory from many potions.
Best weapon in the beginning - Armored fans from the starter kit dancers, however, the Alchemist's weapon, Clubs with a glass core, nothing worse. Before you leave Saint Cloud, you'll find Claws of Nemesis. While all of the listed weapons can last until the end of the game if upgraded, claws are the best choice for an agility build. They are able to parry blows, increasing paralysis.
Take as a secondary weapon Musket Shield «Charleville 1789”, or all the same clubs of the Alchemist.
Build from Elemental Alchemy
Alchemy - something between power and dexterity, adding elemental elements to battles in order to destroy all enemies on the way. This is one of the toughest builds as most weapons will have to be attacked and charged with elemental powers before dealing high damage.
Features
The most important features for this build are - Force, Engineering и Elemental Alchemy, as the build focuses on using Aegis ammo, an alchemy capsule for her pistol, and other special weapon skills in combination with grenades.
Force needed for weapon scales in the alchemy build, allowing them to attack and knock down enemies. Engineering not only increases armor, but also gives a loot multiplier, allowing you to stock up on the necessary resources. Elemental Alchemy Increases Aegis's own elemental attacks and her resistance to them.
Modules
The modules this build is based on must support elemental onslaught. A good choice would be:
- Prolonged suffering to increase the duration of the debuff.
- Greed to get more soul essence, allowing you to buy more consumables.
- Durability to improve health.
- Efficient ventilation, allowing you to keep moving and attacking.
Weapon
Despite the "canonical" alchemist weapon (Glass-core Clubs), it is best to Griboval's Halberd from the starter kit soldier. This is a good weapon for effectively destroying enemies. It only loses Musket shield «Charleville 1789» from Saint-Cloud, as he can easily knock down opponents, opening them up for quick hitting with other weapons and grenades.
Armor selection should focus on armor and health boosts. Alchemist's survivability is extremely low, as is stamina, so you need to increase it yourself.
