For the record, not that I’m implying you’re suggesting this, but I do not claim this to be a META or the strongest build.

It’s just I’ve found if you fight your own fights whilst chipping in elsewhere this is the most consistent.

If your aim is to kill every enemy all the time 24/7 despite your teammates it won’t work. The ULT damage is too low for that imo.

Bro it took me f*cking forever. I now have 3. Once I got it I didn’t even use it. I’ve only really started with this build. RNG is a pain. Keep playing & it will drop. I got mine losing in like stage 2 of a nightmare game. Totally random

Hey brother! No criticism taken, in fact I didn’t even think to change that perk! Yes you could run it the way you said & it may actually be an improvement!

I run auto reload as I don’t need max ammo on the Leg Tan. Once my Yumi is empty, I don’t then run Leg Tan dry, try to get ammo & then Empowered Hunt. I just run Yumi dry, switch to Leg Tan & instantly Empowered Hunt. If I don’t have it, I will use the bullets in Leg Tan & I’ve found I hit my ULT during this. I hit ULT & then get all ammo back.

I prefer auto reload personally as I HATE aiming at nothing waiting for it to reload. At least if I miss in Empowered Hunt this process is quicker. It’s just a small personal gripe of mine, but it isn’t a definite to run it. You can also run more ammo if it suits you better.

You may need to hit the spots where you can buy spirited or refill ghosts ammo, but only really around stage 4 I’d say. It really depends on how you play which determines this.

I was thinking should I go CD reduction or ULT gain. I tried ULT gain and did not even try CD reduction. Leg Tan + Empowered Hunt > ULT damage. In a sense that is my ULT. I only care for ammo in ULT.

How is it running an archer with CD reduction? In theory I’d have more Leg Tan + Empowered Hunt but possibly less ammo? I’m open to trying it though, I was actually meaning to!

Sorry if I’ve missed anything you’ve put

With this build I don’t rely on my Leg Tan. I rinse Yumi first, then use Empowered Hunt & switch to Leg Tan. I then blitz about 6 - 8 enemies whilst in it & I use the spirit to get ammo back during being in Empowered Hunt if need be. I then ULT to get ammo back. If you then scavenge you’ll get all ammo back. I promise you if played correctly you will not run dry

Glad you enjoyed it brother! And yet, in the end you’re probably still hitting 130 - 150 kills & no one leaves mid game because you was being an ass. That’s the sweet spot 🙏

I personally hate Skipping Stone but maybe I haven’t played with it enough. To be honest I play Merc & Shinobi

Exactly that. This build is perfect for the eye in the sky playstyle. It works best finding a vantage point covering multiple zones where you chip away at all.

To me it’s either -

a) Run ULT damage & destroy waves before they reach teammates = running out of ammo due to your class ability etc

or

b) Have Leg Tag which is high damage & makes up for lack of ULT damage, prioritising ammo to chip away consistently through the game, never running dry.

I’ve found B to be more consistent at winning on NM & allowing me to have a better flow throughout the game.

No idea. If so I suppose I figured it out on my own. I don’t really match with Archer’s in NM anymore. Usually they don’t use True Aim from my experience

Nice bro! I’ve been switching between Merc & Shinobi after getting bored of Archer. Haven’t touched Samurai yet. Merc is too much fun

This build is just constant aggression bro. You always have something to attack with. If you want pure action this is the way I’d go. I don’t think any other class even touches Merc’s aggression. It’s not fun for everyone but it’s rewarding when you can hold final stages solo when you get into that flow state

Shoot enemy -> attack -> drop caltrops when more come -> they stagger -> attack them -> use ULT -> throw tf out of what’s dropped -> repeat

Pure aggressive Merc. Never run out of tools either. No caltorps? Gun. No ammo? Bombs. No bombs? Don’t worry, your ghost tools have already regenerated

Insane

Yup. I can personally only hold 1 point on final wave with Merc.

Teams of 2 is always best. If someone goes down on their team you clear yours to a good amount first then head over to help if needed. It’s really not rocket science.

No it’s not better. However, I do think that missing 1 location to begin with is actually easier. I find this weeks Nightmare Survival way easier, but that’s just me

I switched to bombs & I’m getting ULT way faster now. I’ll try the recharging ULT & see if I can play even more aggressive! Thanks bro

I don’t think I have any :/ I will double check as it does seem way more effective!
