[... Off The Bone]

which ones are worth having and which ones are garbage

[AdAstraWill]

I specced everything into damage but I wish I had enough for repair kits and damage reduction

[Midas]

Depends on what you're doing? You know you can pay a minor fee to respec, right?

[Acey]

damage reduction , Terminal Armor ( imo ) , repair kit boosts are priority, nothing is garbage and you will eventually unlock all of it anyway. Also unlock weapon swapping asap.

[Meihru]

in the beginning i would personally recommend dmg reduction and dmg upgrade for your build, i went with impulse shield as expansion, the "lol i survive with 1 hp" shield feels like a trap to me, it only works if you have repair kits left


ultimately tho you will have all upgrade anyways (ng+)

[Jagdtiger]

I think damage reduction and health kit efficiency are well worth it and make the general progression much easier. After that, max out your favourite core extension (probably assault armour imo) and pump the rest into whatever damage you want. Also, buy the kick immediately and abuse the hell out of it

[MadArtillery]

Depends. Assault armour is great. and your build affects things greatly. Maxing dmg reduction on a tanky as bastard of an AC along with maxed repair kit quality can make you pretty unkillable especially if you throw a shield on top to maximimize your durability even more.

Getting 2 points into health kits is well worth it. IMO the 7 cost to get to 15% dmg isnt worth it in anyway. That is only 3% damage. 6% in total if you have the DIRECT damage. Not worth 14 cost. When you can also get something else such as health kit or damage reduction. With 1k Health kit, the average non super tanky AC thatll be a bonus of 30% extra healing. Thats a lot.

Thats a really good point.

Dash Kick and Quickturn the rest is preference

+1 to this. Quickturn seems to be coded to be used automatically as well which is cool.

[Pizzaman]

Boost Kick, Quick Turn and the Shoulder Hangers are musts for me.
The latter two are nice-to-haves but Kick is amazing, Kick is life.

For expansion, I’ve only ever invested in Assault Armor because it’s visually satisfying to use.

For the stat upgrades I went with the defensive ones since I enjoy using lightweight ACs but also have casual gamer dodge skills and will be hit by a stray missile or two.

[Caramel_Clown]

I'm not even sure what quickturn does. Prompt says use boost+direction. Which is how you change directions anyway? Assuming it just speeds up sharp turns automatically. I couldn't make it do anything special.

[This PC]

I use assault armor, kinetic damage, damage reduction and healing boost

[Acey]

I wouldn't underestimate Terminal armor , the idea is that it prevents you from getting one combo'd / one shot. Also you have no idea how many times I cleared something with 1hp because of that single ability lol.

Its like a better ninja transformation from Nioh 1 / 2
