Vik+Warhammer is insane

[American Dove Mitten]

I was wondering if this might be the case, and indeed they have synergy together

It will apply bonus to the attack first, and the it will double the total damage

My base was 150 doing 300 on a Spirit. With Hammer Time it buffs it to 600 +. Just at the start of the run with no weapon upgrades.

It's an interesting synergy, but there is nothing else in the game that can compete with that.

Lee + Violet Dagger + Executions may be much better.
But yeah, I still don't get how to make other characters and weapons useful. Most of them looks totally useless.
Not enough good combinations, lots of trash.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't like Lee. Too much Glass not enough cannon.
I am working on a new strat now with Thunderio. I am running on Alert 8 now. Will upload results when I get home.

What you can suggest as most "lazy" builds for high level alert (4+)?
I'm struggling to get what I want. Mostly disappointed by weapon choices.

Vik with either Warhammer or Ascendance. Preferably Ascendance. It has the best hammer DMG and is skills are really good as well.

For abilities Get armor, Duel, Crit, advanced tech. Make sure to get your ultimate as quickly as possible and also the skill that triggers the spirit slash a lot . The more spirit slahes you get the quicker the ultimate. You are mainly going for sustainability. Vik hit hard like a truck. And his ultimate makes him invulnerable for a set time while doing big DMG. And that is it.

Where do I get ascendance? There are multiple variations of hammers, but I keep getting only every other weapon in the universe, so I stick to Vik and my warhammer.
I still like (visually) the first mecha more, but I LOVE spirits strike

I enjoy Thunderio + Javelin: Go for pulses etc. and you can just dash around and everything dies:D With javelin you can kill offscreen - also useful.

Wait which is the skill that triggers the spirit slash a lot?
I love vik but I can't seem to be able to make any use of his axe. Very situational, I charge it only when enemies have long downtimes. At alert 3 the bosses move enough to be really dangerous

Also crit + spirit + ologram means an auto attack is like 1200+700+1200+I don't know but puts me around 4k, while the axe is like 1500 after charging (unless I go for the infinite charge)

I think sawpop is the best one on Vik... its the only weapon that allows you to constantly having Belligerance of 80 (400% attack dmg boost)... its too strong for the current alert level cap:D

I think it's the one you get from under the arena.
After defeating the thunder boss, hit switches on each side of the arena.

It's not great for enemies who survive that first hit though. It's slow to follow up and its weapon skill is hard to use against anything that likes to go vertical.

[roddy]

if you're not too much into min-maxing, try the bayonets + fire + plasma + bleed combo, I won a game with it way back using lee (just alert level 2?) and was quite fun.

Advanced bosses are the hard part for me and usually there is enough downtime in between the hits for the hammer to reload (not the spirit though)

Bro how did u build that killing dash with Thunder? I'm at level 4 and have Javelin but I got nothing to woosh woosh

[Samseng Yik]

I think this is the designed intention.
If you use it another way then it is weak

[Oobaneko]

Try armor, skill, shield on "Ken" You gonna shoryuken like crazy.
