In search of lunacy 1000 approved exotic builds

[bmads]

What was your most exotic build so far on a successfuly lunacy 1000 rift run?

The Kunai + Pango's pride ninja?
Eye of the Storm on a light ship?
Support devices only build?

Share your insights.


Btw, has anyone made a build with Sentinel that uses Ride the Lightning perk but without the "Play it Safe" perk?
Ride the lightning seems to fit with the sentinel theme wise, but I can't get it to work unless I go full warfare devices which makes the sentinel feel like a downgraded stinger build.

Sorry, 700 is my best...though I did it with no hull damage so maybe 1000 is within reach soon.

I'd like to advertise the explosive strategy. It will allow you to easily beat 1K lunacy. No crazy execution needed, no precise aiming needed, only methodical bombardment.

I don't know if this build qualifies as an "exotic build". But since the bomber class is giving people an "underpowered" impression, then this shouldn't be a meta build at least, I guess.

----------------------------------------------

Sentinel ships are tiresome to use in 1K lunacy in my opinion. Their ULT feels so weak against high HP targets. It disables enemies but it doesn't do that much damage. R.T.L does too little damage comparing to Symphony of Destruction. So I doubt if it is a viable option at all.

For a rift run, that looks like a surprisingly chill experience. But, I am sure is not as easy as it looks.

Yeah, I can use the ULT sparcely for almost guaranteed criticals with Symphony of Destruction. But without it, even if I use Thundercore, it seems to take too much time to get the job done. Maybe Devotion could make it viable? not sure…

Well, it is as easy as it looks. When I fly something else in 1k lunacy rift, things will start getting messy. This bomber build is my favorite for rift farming, because my other ships are just not as chill as this one.

Thanks for the video. I don't have an issue with resolve like a lot of people. If I die, it's usually due to Okkar giant balls/orbs of death so yeah, it tends to go downhill and get "messy" as you put it, rather quickly, usually on the 3rd stage.
