Builds / Feedback on knife build for Dominating
« on: January 06, 2020, 12:53:29 am »
Hi y'all,
After beating the game in Normal with both pure PSI and science pistols builds, and 80% through my current Sniper/Metathermics playthrough, I'm already planning my next character and wanted to share my build and ask whether you think it would be Dominating-viable (on Oddity).
So here's what the build looks like:
http://underrail.info.tm/build/?FAMPCgMDAwgAHgBuKABZKiEeGVpaMiRaAAAAADIASyc5YQkWBhI8C0IQE-KdvwPfvw
Some explanations and comments:
1. Sure Step is non-negotiable since Stalker poison caltrops are the best thing ever.
2. Persuasion is there only because I want to save Buzzer (since none of my previous playthroughs did that), but I could consider dropping it.
3. Dodge is only there for Fancy Footwork (and probably Blitz at level 22), but I'm considering dropping it.
4. Traps is just high enough to use MK4 mines, but I'm considering dropping it to (40).
5. Biology and Chemistry because grenades and Stalker poison are just too good. Flashbangs have great synergy with Cut-throat as well.
6. 8 Int because of how many points I'm investing into crafting and I think 2 extra int (I'm not going below 6) will make a bigger impact than 2 extra con.
Mostly I have two questions: first, do you think this build is Dominating-viable? And second, should I drop dodge and some traps to pick psi-empathy and go for TM instead?
