Returning after over a year, some fun new builds?

[FreddyTheMonkey]

I bought Nova Drift around Christmas 2022 and played 50+ hours within a couple of months iirc. I love the game but in the last runs I always fall back to my most effective builds (Apex Overseer with a billion constructs, sentinel shield-based build that burns everything, Specter salvo or Specter railgun).

I want to experiment with something else, any suggestion for fun builds? Not necessarily super high scoring ones, as I'm not an expert on the game and 3M points is my best currently.

fun builds are gone because of the new final boss.

I recommend asking in the Discord, we have a channel dedicated to build sharing, and it's never been more active.

Warpbreaker with void slice is still fun and can deal with him easily enough.

A really strong Sword build will eat the final boss. I used Battery with swords for the tankier hull and extra set of swords and reflect for extra protection since it's the most durable shield you can get.

Edit: Also, bit of advice. Avoid going for burst fire with swords unless you plan on getting Barrage. The cooldown between burst swings offsets any DPS you'd gain from three burst swings. Barrage doesn't seem to have a cooldown between swings (or it's so low that it's barely noticeable).
