Rhino Prime Iron Skin build

[JoeyYoung]

so i have recently crafted rhino prime and i am loving him, the ability i use the most is iron skin but even at max level its not that affective against higher level enemies, i first tried out the blind rage mod but i dont like how it causes it to take 100 energy to activate iron skin. so i wanted to know: what is a good build that will greatly increase iron skin's effectiveness while increasing the energy cost for activating it as low as possible?

Well against high level enemies iron skin is never very usefull. So there is no real point in modding for it when you want to face higher level enemies.

But if you really wanna mod for it I think Blind Rage (not sure what rank) + Transient Fortitude + Intensity + Streamline + Fleeting Expertise. That really doesn't sound like a good Rhino build lol.

in that case, let me ask the question in a different way: what mods will greatly benefit Iron Skin with as little change to the costs for activating the skill

well he was pretty much right. you dont need duration for iron skin so using fleetin expertise if you want it to be cheap to cast, and then all you really want are strength mods right(not sure if iron skin benifits form strength mods but im pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sure it does) and maby some more surviability mods like armour/vitality/redirection because iron skin isnt gonna last very long in the tougher misisons and in those times between casts you are gonna be vulnerable. but you know you....

valks better

If you are looking for an endgame iron skin build .... there isnt one.

ToniHD is 100% correct. Iron skin is not a viable skill in later game. Even with fully ranked blind rage, trans fort, intensify and a roar before casting a random lvl 80ish heavy gunner is going to chew through it rather quickly.

The reason blind rage increases the cost is due to its negative effect on efficiency which is the trade off for the extra power. Just like Transient fortitude has a negative effect on duration.

With that being said your best bet is to combine those strength mods with quick thinking, vitality, steel fiber and rage. That will give you the best survivability. Add in a life strike melee weapon for topping up health when you are low and that's as good as it gets for Rhino.
