IV

Attiva

Esplosione polare

Dont forget to use pulses on objectives. Does big damage there too.

When placing pulses, use Vortex and/or Swap to keep them in the pulse

Having people in tight quarters, getting chased into one is ideal. Makes you feel like paradox. 2 Pulses + Arctic with a wall in tight quarters is death for them.

2 pulses + AlchFire will ensure you do great big damage. The -bullet resist items can grant you up to like 700 heavy melee damage (350 lights) on top of damage amp.

Nice, you scrolled down.

Fighting walkers is a great specialty since you will be doing damage to the walker and any enemies nearby. 2pulses+AlchFire and Shots. When you need to make an escape, use Carbine charge for fast dashes and move speed, and wall infront of you+Dash through into a funnel like a doorway.

With Stamina mastery, remember you can be speedy with double air-dashes. Carbine charge ground dashes are also quite fast.

MeleeDox - Getting Crushing fists after Alchemical + BR shredder is good, but what if you skip all CORE items and just buy Echo + alchemical, BR shredder and then Crushing Fists? That is at its lowest, 21k Souls doing 600+dmg per Heavy Melee. (Duration Extender on Pulse is also still important)

Carbine increases heavy melee range. Double-jump over an enemy while carbine charge and Hmelee down at them.

Im serious. Carbine charge + Jump Jump is crazy dodgy and still is in range for Hmelee with Crushing Fists.

Changes - 27 jan 2026

Moved Fleetfoot and Bullet Shredder to an Optional box because you dont need them, only for the synergies. This opened up more free-thinking for Alternate Activatables, "Grab one or two" options or something else dynamic. It is also perfectly in slots with Flex (Minus the obvious sellables). This makes the build in general much more clear and open to counter-items.
