Best Builds
Five repeatable build archetypes that turn a leader plus two squadmates into an unkillable engine.
Kinetic — Tank + SWAT + any
Tank's Shotgun/Saw Blades + SWAT's Assault Rifle stacks kinetic tags. Reliable early-to-mid clear with a forgiving armor passive on Tank.
Slash — Tank + Ghost + Cogwheels
Evolved Tank Saw Blades (Cogwheels) combined with Ghost's Thousand Cuts and the +40% slash damage perk. Walk through hordes untouched.
Cold Permafrost — Huntress + Medic + Engineer
Huntress bows with Medic Ice Flakes plus Engineer's Ice Shield create a freeze-locked Permafrost build that is the community's favorite long-run composition.
Electric — Engineer + Ghost
Engineer's Force Field plus Ghost's melee chain damage, augmented with the Leaked Battery item to convert damage types into a sustained electric DoT.
Toxic — Huntress + Ghost + Medic
Toxin-tagged weapons and abilities stacked through long runs. fwhite0782 famously ran 1h30 of Toxic without taking fatal damage.
