Build Overview

Mods. Chop off his balls

This build is all around using the different forms of melee on Vex to double, triple, quadruple dip your damage for MILLIONS OF DAMAGE

Groundbreaker -> Reverburnations -> Bloodletter is a little bit of damage


This build is HEAVILY inspired by Ratore's Hexblade build. Check out his build and his alt specs for different situations and preferences.

Also check out Iserrot's Dronebreaker build that clears Bloomreaper INSANELY WELL

Strengths And Weaknesses

  • Great bossing
  • Amazing mobbing
  • Great survivability
  • Somewhat gear specific
  • TUVH6 Radix is a bit longer fight
  • Bloomreaper phase 1 is a pain cuz of AOE attack pushing Reapers into the void

Action Skill:

Dead Ringer - used for building up Groundbreaker, proccing multiple skills, and dealing damage

  • Reapers - deals melee damage which procs Reverburnations and Bloodletter
  • Specters - deals gun damage which can proc many skills and better at proccing Mortal Terror

Hellish Harvest - used w/ Reapers to deal more damage and live longer

Coven - used w/ Specters for more crit chance for you and minions for damage and Mortal Terror

Blue Tree:

Fell Inscriptions - more damage

Sanguine Fiends - some nice survivability

Grave Fiends - more damage!

Blood Sacrifice - not exactly needed because of Mortal Terror but it's 1 point so may as well

Recurrence - stack w/ Slippy and Mantra

Reverburnations - double dip that applies to any melee damage including Groundbreaker. This is a key skill

Green Tree:

Grave Sights - even more damage

Bloodletter - double dip that applies to all our skills including Groundbreaker, Reverburnations, and Haruspex (via class mod) as well as Dead Ringer. This is a key skill

Grave Power - more kill skill stacks for more damage!

Guns and Needles - allow for repkit spam for healing or damage boosts

Keen Mind - almost all of our damage is skill damage source which means this is VERY beneficial. Especially when going Reverburnations into Bloodletter

Mortal Terror - allows for easy uptime on kill skills. Especially good when paired w/ Haruspex for spam

Equipment

Weapons
Repkit & Ordnance
Utilities

Guns:

Mantra - deals melee damage but still builds up Groundbreaker. Want at least Jakobs (Ricochet Accessory) for mobbing and Ripper (Charge Mag) for bossing. Get fire, shock, and corrosive versions for all health bars. Match element to health bars.

Ordnance:

Slippy - amazing damage cuz of Reverburnations and also builds Groundbreaker. Get w/ extra charge or nuke

Jakobs Grenade Crit Knife - can be used for bossing for peak damage. You have less Groundbreaker build up but more likely for everything to crit

Shield:

Watts 4 Dinner - w/ Siphon Tolling. The bonus element allows for an extra chance to proc tons of skills like Mortal Terror, Reverburnations, and Bloodletter. It will be at lower damage (25%) but with all the formula and dipping it usually can be enough.

Class Mod:

Skill Crit Chance is very nice with so many skills dealing damage. Melee crit chance also works. Or just soup damage like skill and melee damage

Vex Class Mod Firedancer - for points into Reverburnations. More double damage power means more damage. Must have class mod and can be used for all occasions.

Misericorde - for the points into Haruspex. Very fun in mobbing. Love to pair w/ Specters for proccing Mortal Terror and the Misery stacks for optimal Haruspex spam.

Repkit:

Order Repkit - w/ Enrage (Experimental) and Hard Hitter (Steroidal). Can also use Elemental Affinity (Reactive) or Accelarator (Adrenalized)

Triple Bypass, War Paint, and Kill Spring are also other options

Enhancement:

Ideal passive: Gun Splash Damage (applies to everything when holding a splash gun) Equip Speed increases weapon mode swap speed.

Jakobs Enhancement Bounce Pass - Extra ricochet projectile. used w/ Mantra

Jakobs Enhancement Piercer - 20% crit chance. used w/ Mantra

3/3 Skillcraft - for the crit chance and stacking damage. Dead Ringer easily keeps up the stacks.

2/3 Reel Big Fist - LOTS of melee damage so really good to have

Specialization

Specialization 1Groundbreaker
Specialization 2A Honed Mind
Specialization 3Contamination
Specialization 4The Best Defense

Groundbreaker - must have for bossing and also works for mobbing. Double dip that can proc Reverburnations and Bloodletter

A Honed Mind - increased crit chance on all skills

Contamination - increased status chance for Bloodletter. At max stacks it's GUARANTEED BLEED

The Best Defense - nice damage that will apply to everything and double dip

Bear Arms - gun damage via Recurrence can boost this (or use other gun specializations)

I Am A Gun - gun damage via Recurrence can boost this (or use other gun specializations)

Gameplay

Mobbing:

Spawn Dead Ringer

Throw Slippy

Melee enemies via punch or Haruspex override

Shoot Mantra whenever

Use repkit for damage boosts if you want

Bossing:

Spawn Dead Ringer

Use repkit for damage boosts

Throw Slippy and shoot Mantra at the same time to stack Groundbreaker

Punch or Slam the boss to proc Groundbreaker

If boss isn't dead then shoot Mantra more and punch/slam again

Bloomreaper:

For Phase 1 Crystals

Spawn Dead Ringer and throw Slippy at crystals (1 slippy per crystal)

Then go around and melee the crystals and the orbs.

Shoot Mantra at crystals and orbs when needed

Phase 2

When Bloomreaper comes down on a platform use repkit and then use Slippy and Mantra to stack Groundbreaker then slam or melee it. Boss should go to the next phase. If not then repeat

Final Phase

Do the same thing. Can spawn some Dead Ringer as well if you have some charges ready
