Warlords of New York Advice Needed

[Ozmiz]

First trip to WONY expansion (now lvl 40).

I ran the Summit a few times to get some Strikers gear to use for the expansion, but after changing the map difficulty I'm wondering if that is a good set for solo'ing the expansion on harder difficulties?

What did you find that helped you the most in solo'ing the expansion map on higher difficulties? Any sets / advice greatly appreciated!!

I play with a striker solo on heroism with 3-4 directives and I’m happy with everything. i have also critical damage build through yellow items, but it is quite difficult for beginners to assemble

On all of my mule characters I used a drone and shield since they level when I do. I wasn't that dependent on gear since you level so quickly and out outgrow it. I grabbed what i found and kept going I can do the NYC in a couple hours doing it so many times.

depends on your playstyle & what activities you do

Striker is very strong Dps but squishy

Heart breaker strongish but with survivalbility, problem is you have to be close to NPCS that deal alot of damage before switching to being a turret mode after Getting Buffed
Trust me the game Changes dramatically when you enter into CLOSE QUARTERS COMBAT, instead of being hunted & Flanked & Cornered.... The closer you are The NPCS tend to run aways in fear rather than dps you when you go toe to toe with them

a skilll build hide away and drink beers
with turret and drone

Infinite skills hardwired for mortar and clusterbombs

Sniper Hotshot Determined chainkiller if you can get 1 head shot kill then body shot every other Human NPC to death with 1 shot

Status effect build

Most skill builds will lose to striker in the grand scheme of things the longer the NPC is up the likely its more to do damage to you... so the faster you get it down ..........
and striker should be able to do WONY with ease on any difficulty , just gotta use cover if it gets too hairy

sooo many builds soo many playstyles

As mentioned here, it depends on your playstyle. I like Firestarter Chem Launcher with Stinger Hive. Skilled accordingly, they drop like nothing on Heroic without you having to do much.

If you like it more offensive, take the bread and butter build with Striker and St. Elmo's Engine AR. High DPS and control guaranteed.

At the moment I'm trying Heartbreaker Set with Kingbreaker AR. Good damage with very good armor.

There are hundreds of instructions for these builds on YouTube.

Basically, everyone does the same damage - but just differently.

get an acs shotgun or a rock n roll with your heartbreaker or striker set and buff the set with shotgun due to the spray before switching to you st elmo or in my case my Ouroboros, the closer you are the faster it buffs
