Zane Meta Build
All builds, non dlc, mobbing, bossing…
SAK Zane (Seein Dead) All Purpose
If you don’t plan on ever using clone then you wont need the clone skills. Spend them in praemunitus. But spending enough points in clone tree for doppelbanger, is great!
Weapons: Redistributor, Hyperfocus XZ41, Recursion, Brainstormer, Dictator, Lob, Hellshock, Cutsman, Anarchy, Craps, Scourge, Krakatoa, Boom Sickle, Craps, Nukem, Star Helix,
COM: Seein Dead, 2 points in playing dirty, top rolls mostly don’t matter. Look for weapon specific bonuses that boost the weapon you’re holding ex. pistol damage, assault rifle damage, splash damage, crit damage, these are very important for max damage
Grenade mod: Grenades can help trigger SD class mod. Recurring hex grenade will create most triggers. Quasars and for utility.
Artifact: Snowdrift for bossing, icebreaker for mobbing, victory rush, mag size, aoe bonuses, weapon specific, elemental bonuses
Shield: Quick recharging shields are best for triggering topped off to cycle clone. Sitorak, Big Boom Blaster, One Shotter Shield. Or defensive shields if you need them, Stop-Gap, Transformer, Double Downer, Frozen Heart is fun with clone
For bossing use multipellet weapon like a maggie or shotgun to easily trigger seein dead/kill skills. You can also use clone/drone throwing nades to activate them. Then use hyperfocus, scourge, lob or cutsman to easily finish boss. Use any general anointments and weapons you find, cycle clone for ASE anointments. Use any action skill you see fit in each situation. This build can be strong with any weapons and anointments as long as you understand your damage and match your bonuses on your gear. Weapon specific bonuses. You can use any action skill at any time! Swap between them even mid gameplay!
Double Barrel Seein Dead Build (Mobbing and Bossing!) Clone build
This build is an all purpose clone build! If you’re using seein dead, you won’t need seein red for boss farming. If you don’t have DLC then I suggest picking up seein red. Ready For Action + topped off gives you good action skill cooldown rate when clone goes down.
Weapons:
- Clone Weapons: Shock Scourge, Lob, Ion Cannon, Facepuncher
- Zane Weapons: Recursion, Redistributor, Brainstormer, Krakatoa, Lob, Hellshock, Hyperfocus XZ41, Boom Sickle, etc
Shield: Transformer, this + shock scourge keeps clone alive, Stop Gap and Frozen Heart also work well with clone
Class Mod: Seein Dead with weapon specific bonuses. Donnybrook is great, but make sure you match your weapons to your bonuses to do the most damage yourself.
Artifact: Snowdrift or Cutpurse Vic Rush. Snowdrift gives good burst damage, cutpurse + giving clone a facepuncher gives you infinite ammo for any weapon type you are holding. RPG, Tediore, Babymaker, etc
Grenade: Recurring Hex, trigger Seein Dead multiple times. 25% on throw anointment gives your clone damage
Playstyle: ALWAYS CLONE SWAP. Clone swap is the key to this build, you get damage, you get surivivability, you heal your clone with quick breather too! Keep clone swapping in heavily dense mobbing areas and that’s how your clone will live. Perfect for Takedown. Use the facepuncher + cutpurse, and get easy boss kills spamming scourges or tediores.
Seein Dead Bossing Build (24 second wotan kill video inside)
There is some strategy to killing wotan this fast with this build that is fully explained inside the video. I will briefly explain this also in the playstyle section.
Weapons
- Anarchy Kinetic x18 or x20, slide anoint or sntnl cryo – for mobbing, one shotting every mob and one shotting wotan’s early phases, all the way into double shield phase on top of the pillars.
- Ion Cannon Shock x1 Slide anoint – for one shotting both shields on wotan at once. you basically have to do enough damage in one pellet, to deplete both of wotan’s shields at once.
- Recursion Corrosive Sntnl Cryo – For one shotting Wotan and the top half while he’s splitting
Cutsman – for the legs
Class Mod – Seein Dead, Top rolls do not matter. You want shotgun damage, heavy weapon damage, and splash damage. If you could only get two of these rolls, it NEEDS* to be shotgun + heavy damage.
Shield – One Shotter shield. If you do not have one shotter shield, you will definitely need 0.m or Rerouter for the ion cannon shot. Shock/Corrosive on ase
Grenade – Recurring Hex grenade, Shock/Corrosive on ase
Artifact – Snowdrift Splattergun with AOE damage, movement speed. The AOE is required, this gives highest damage bonus.
Playstyle: This build can also be used with any bossing weapons, even redistributors for mobbing. This looks very similar to SAK, but this was the powerhouse I used in my 24 second wotan kill.
Calm Cool Conductor (DLC 2) Raid Build
Weapons: Recursion, Redistributor, Carrier, King’s Call, Seventh Sense, Unseen Threat, Hyperfocus, Lob, Hellshock, Krakatoa, Dictator, Brainstormer, cutsman
Shields: Sitorak, Big Boom Blaster, Old God, Frozen Heart, Stop Gap
Class Mod: Conductor, any coductor with 0 points in adrenaline is a good roll. 1 point is fine..
- WEAPON SPECIFIC BONUSES. Smg damage, Pistol, AR, Shotgun, Splash, Crit, etc
Artifact: Icebreaker Vic Rush, usually I toss on a Snowdrift for the wotan fight for some burst damage + utility
40% AOE, weapon specific, elemental bonus, movement speed
Grenade: Recurring Hex, can hit crits and trigger brain freeze
Playstyle: This is CCC but now with more flash! You have two bonus elements at all times if you use sntnl cryo + conductor. You can abuse all sorts of bonus ricochet weapons, I even use the kings call for bossing sometimes. This build is a pretty fun shakeup from Seein Dead and can get you through some raids
Non DLC Bossing Build
This build uses normal bossing weapons + ASE elemental anointments to easily take down bosses with NO DLC. This is also how you get the most damage possible out of Zane + Violent Momentum
Weapons: Hyperfocus, Scourge, Lob, Conference Call, King’s Call, Carrier, other good bossing weapons
Class Mod: ANY class mod with Violent Momentum. Antifreeze is the best to use with AMP shields, but it’s hard to farm for. A purple is fine even, or infiltrator =)
Shield: Fast recharging shields, Amp shields, elements on action skill end
Grenade: Anything with elements on action skill end
Artifact: Snowdrift with AOE Bonuses, movement speed, weapon specific. Splattergun is also very good with shotguns
Playstyle: This build is for killing bosses, we also have enough points into all rounder which allows this build to mob through proving grounds. It’s very fun run and gun, but this build can not mob through slaughter shafts or takedowns. Mess around with sliding and shooting all kinds of weapons, lyudas, protuberance, torgue stickies, etc.
Toss barrier off ledge to activate seein red, anointments, and then get your barrier back immediately. Use clone + doppelbanger as soon as it’s available. Keep our kill skills and anointments active.
No DLC Raid Build
This is standard CCC in the base game! I’ll be listing off tons of weapons and tell you guys the best class mod to use.
Weapons: Redistributor, Hyperfocus XZ41, Maggie, Dictator, Brainstormer, Lob, Hellshock, Krakatoa, Bekkah, King’s Call, Cutsman for Wotan
Class Mod: ANY class mod with points in Violent Momentum! Purple Class mod, Infiltrator, Antifreeze is the best but very hard to farm.
WEAPON SPECIFIC BONUSES are most important on class mod, or crit bonuses. Boost the guns you’re holding, that’s how you get the most damage on Zane
Shields: Big Boom Blaster, Sitorak, fast recharging shields to keep CCC active and take advantage of topped off! Element on ASE will trigger if you go down and barrier goes down
Grenade: Recurring Hex can crit and trigger brain freeze. 25% on throw anoint
Artifact: Icebreaker Vic Rush, I usually toss on a snowdrift for wotan for burst damage and dodging attacks
Playstyle: Just normal CCC things! Freeze enemies, and actually boss pretty decently. I suggest respeccing for bossing if you dont have seein dead. That’s what the non dlc bossing build is for. Use detainment field to constantly stagger enemies, including valkyries and shred them with hyperfocus.
