What armor set do you use?

[goobyplz]

I have been using scarab armor as soon as it showed up, I really cant justify anything outside of it. Stacking rediculous levels of HP seems to allow me to compensate for just about anything the game throws at me.

I find myself playing most of the game with either the Lynx set, or Iron Mouse. Lynx if I really must kill something, because it makes the game really easy for me thanks to increased attack speed, and Iron Mouse whenever I just wanna have fun and being the best hero in that universe is a great cosplay.

Sometimes I try new stuff, like the new Space looking suit, but I don't have enough core power on my current run to properly use it, but I can see playing with that more because of the extra buff for "codename" weapons, that's a really cool addition.

I basically live in Black Cerberus at this point.

I like Eagle also, for when I have to be fast.

I like to switch in each of my runs.
Lynx is the go to option early game but I love Bloody proteus for its looks. Mantis is not bad. Liquidator for all those nasty poison areas. Iron Mouse was my choice in the core power 10 run.

The 3 I used the least were
Elitte hazard taker
Normal Proteus
Scarab
Plus some of the DLC ones.

I've been using almost exclusively Rhino armour. It seems to fit my playstyle the best. The added stability keeps me alive while the added Impact with Counterweights can really troll some enemies hard. Plus it looks absolutely badass, including the Occulus Rift headset. Yeah, it's slow, but that's why I've paired it with the slowest weapons I could find - Heavy Duty! :) My Warren is effectively a human truck, and that's exactly how I like it.

I do have a spare set of Liquidator, as well. Used it to fight the Smelter in the Resolve Biolabs and I put it on occasionally to deal with gas or sludge when that turns up. Anyone remember when Liquidator DIDN'T give you immunity from chemicals or gas and just gave you greater elemental resistance? Yeah, they patched that out eventually :)

Frankly, I kind of wish the Tenshi Angel armour would also come with environmental resistance from gas and sludge. Currently, we lack a Goliath option for a sealed environment-protected suit. Liquidator is Operator and Elite Hazard is Sentinel. Saldy, Angel is only resistant to gas.

I have to admit, I'm a bit curious regarding the setup you're using with the Black Cerberus. What implants and weapons do you use?


Personally, I prefer the Gorgon suit, because it provides good protection (however little it actually does) and its set bonus is really powerful. Having your stamina regenerate twice as fast basically means that you'll never have to take a time out in a fight again to recover.

I use Judge 2.0 and the severed rotor for basically every situation. As for implants, with 190 core energy I can't quite fill out my slots, so I have a pretty balanced load of health (6, 1 is an XL), stamina (4, 3 are XL) and energy (3, 1 is an XL).

I use three Mk V vital injections, an SNS disinhibitor, 3 pneumatic calibrators, an omni-audit vital boost, an ablative array, 2 aggression amplifiers, 2 red x cables and two sustaining arrays, it totals 188 of 190 used and leaves me with six unused slots.

I never run out of stamina, and once I get enough core levels to fill out the rest of my slots I will never run out of energy (before I added the XLs I had all of my slots filled, and I was simply unstoppable.)

Much appreciated, though that's a build that only comes into its in, what, NG++?

[nullforceomega]

Actually, I put most of it together in NG+ (last year before any of the DLC dropped), the current version just stacks some extra health and a spare vital injection.

Its pretty beefy and plays well with my very deliberate style.

I see. Thanks.

Am I seriously the only one who uses Rhino armour? :)

Rhino Armour is approximately the worst in the game, so... probably?

[goobyplz]

Im surprised at how much not tanky armor I am seeing, I dont know how everyone is getting around and surviving without scarab's superior defense and hp, but then again, I just killed black cerberus at CP 65 and it looks like everyone is running at higher CP

How so? Seems to be working pretty well for me so far. It's slow, but that's as bad as it gets.

Yes, it is slow. Also, its set bonus is very situational and defense does very little in this game. Speed is life - if you dodge attacks you won't need to heal nearly as often, and stamina regenerates but energy and injectables don't.

I will not deny that it is possible to make a viable build out based on it, just that there are better sets.
