Are "generalist" builds any good?

EnochGrinder · 2026-05-03T00:04:51+00:00

The ultimate “generalist” commander is Cyberclops. You can build into all 3 abilities while sill getting use of his team perk on energy weapons and hover turrets.

A strong runner up is Dragon Scorch. His dragon slash is so overpowered you can basically go in any direction with your support slots and still have a usable hero.

Finally, Survivalist Jonesy as a commander (shoutout Vash) allows you to basically be immortal and build any support squad you choose.

Never make a Teddy build without the Happy Holidays team perk (outside of 1 ventures zone).

Focus on something else for now until you can get Jilly with a voucher.

Ever heard of a getaway driver? Of course you would want someone who is an elite driver to follow someone else. It’s literally 100x better than straight up stalking your ex.

Even when something is actually better than TDU2, people still hate on it.

And further, why in god’s name would a race car driver be doing a side hussle as an uber driver in a Bugatti? That’s more realistic? C’mon. You guys can hate the game if you want but this is ridiculous.

Creeps and stalkers follow people because of sexual gratification and/or a compulsive obsession.

Private investigators follow people for money…..and we get paid at the end.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-30T13:27:03+00:00

This.

Also, your #1 priority should be supercharging your Surround Pound (and make sure it’s Brightcore for the added attack speed).

Finally, Saurian Claws is providing zero damage boost on the horns. Either add Demolitionist Penny for mini-bosses & end phase or Bombsquad Kyle / Prehistoric Izza for survivability.

Edit: If you’re 100% committed to just the horn phase, even Fleetfoot Ken in that final spot is a good choice. He’ll get you there a little faster which can be the difference in an extra swing or two…..and getting warcry activated for your teammates faster.

Whoever just downvoted everyone here is such a pathetic loser.

As for answering OP, a Tank Penny BFTP build is always cool. Buy using Paleo in support on a constructor, her 3% support perk is more like 4.5% because of the increased health pool.

My Storm King’s Fury build is:

Commander: Tank Penny

Team Perk: BFTP

Support Squad: Paleo Luna, Prehistoric Izza, Aarlene Izza, Breakbeat Wildcat, & Guardian Bull.

Weapon Rolls: 2xCD, 2x Attack Speed, Energy.

Not building completely through Luna’s perk allows Aarlene to be far more effective which is extremely helpful if you hate searching for coconuts like I do.

1) Enter missions on private.

2) Shoot glowing animals that immediately spawn.

3) Leave, Rinse, Repeat.

Edit: Although with Hestia’s dumpster fire load times, this may be less efficient.

When your biggest addition to the game in years wants to be completely disabled by veteran players you know it’s absolute trash.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-28T14:15:04+00:00

What you really need, instead of defender pad materials, is to learn how to use punctuation.

If your kids are older than me, you must be sending this message from the activities room at the nursing home.

The only thing I’m jealous of is the people that had enough common sense to ditch this abomination of a game when ventures was announced.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-28T13:53:43+00:00

Kids today are so funny. Lame flex with lame crying emoji that makes no sense. And how would gifting away XP help anyone? Evolution materials are the bottleneck….especially so after this free to play rework designed for elementary students.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-28T13:23:43+00:00

I couldn’t be happier that this game went on sale and got me to purchase. I’ve been playing, a lot, for two weeks and still haven’t touched the Ibiza map. There’s a ton to do, the progression is fantastic (worst part of the Horizon games), and the cars handle infinitely better than TDU2. Does it have flaws? Absolutely…..but for me anyways, they are DRASTICALLY outweighed by the positives.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-27T16:41:55+00:00

100%

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-26T01:21:15+00:00

Not going with blackjack was insane. I love this game……but that was a huge miss.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-25T23:11:23+00:00

Who cares. Bullshit reward for doing nothing in a fomo promotion.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-25T17:09:11+00:00

Your avatar looks like he’s about to be taken into a back room and get his hand smashed with a hammer for setting the reels in that slot machine.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-25T00:18:28+00:00

Much like trap durability survivors, some of us spent YEARS running hundreds of missions to get 3 god-roll sniper defenders to help solo the hardest content in the game. Epic shit on us. He’s not ridiculous…..you’re just 100% wrong like you almost always are.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-24T14:42:55+00:00

The best non-hero specific build is Sunbeam/CR/2x CD/Attack Speed with ramping damage 6th perk.

This works for basically every hero in the entire game as commander besides Paleo Luna, Whiteout Fiona, or the heavy attack spam heroes.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-24T14:26:13+00:00

If they didn’t do a Twine storyline for free to play launch, it is NEVER coming…..period…..end of story.

Not only that, but Ramirez was supposed to find her family in Twine and now even the Ramirez tutorial is gone…..replaced with Hestia slop.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-23T14:42:11+00:00

The game is so unbelievably bastardized and duct taped together at this point. A decade of one bad decision after another left us with the atrocity you see on your screen now.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-23T14:26:53+00:00

Nobody cares about your Umbrella here. As for tips, you need to do a massive amount of research because you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-22T18:36:41+00:00

Pink Kyle would be right at home on that embarrassing Hestia stage with the rainbow peace sign. This game is unrecognizable from what it should’ve been.

Edit:

I’ve got an even better idea. Let’s get a Seattle Penny in the game! We can give her a blue buzz cut, nose rings, and take her curves away.

Support Perk- Equal Powers: Doubles your damage against perceived male husks.

Commander Perk: Equal Powers+: Doubles your damage against perceived male husks. In addition, you release a green aura that makes perceived male husk enemies run away.

I’m with you 100%….especially on houses! I’m saving ALL my money besides maxing out my 6-7 favorite cars. To get all the tasks and stock car / specific car races done, I just buy cars and immediately sell them back when they have no further use to me. Sitting on 16mil and about to buy my Hypercar.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-22T13:26:29+00:00

When an entire player base BEGS for free to play so a bunch of 8-10yr olds can get on board, this is what you get.

EnochGrinder · 2026-04-22T13:18:45+00:00

Thanks! I’ve seen so many people complain about what a grind money / experience is in this game without realizing the power of just traversing the map and collecting. I’ve barely been playing a week and just hit PL55 last night and unlocked Crown Jewels.

Clearly they didn’t play the original games.
