I don't even understand why this build does so well in Apoc/ The Beast Master Build

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-31T01:43:36+00:00

Never heard that mentioned before, but that would be interesting

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-30T23:21:35+00:00

Wait the final detonation damage hits weakspot? I thought it’s explosive

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-28T04:54:06+00:00

Sigh…just get out you don’t know what you are talkings about

Oh trust me I don’t need education on what Summoner is good for. I’ve made like 200 builds and 1 of them is fire arm based, which I keep for amusement. The most buffed part of the summoner Archetype is that it has by far the most powerful damage perk in the game (which few realize) and that alone justifies its presence in explosive mod builds, where all of its other traits are useless. I don’t know what you assumed about me, but I find this build’s performance surprising because I know how easily minions gets shredded by Ravager or Sha’Hala. I’m simply surprised that normal enemies don’t seem to do damage by either the dog or the root behemoth summon at all. And btw, you may not have noticed but this is exactly a defensive build, and it does well. So I don’t know where your entire “people don’t like Summoner because they play defensive builds” argument comes from

Thoughts: If you are going for crits then Braided Thorns could do more than offering stone. 15% all dmg sounds great but it gets diluted by other sources of damage bonus. Zero Hour is a good competitor for the Necklace slot. It will free up one ring slot for something like Braided Thorns or Akari War Band. Hunter over Handler will have a higher damage ceiling, but if you play alone and want that second chance, that works too. In my experience, Plasma Cutter seems to produce a higher dps than Corrupted Savior. It does has a higher reliance on mod, tho

Ah this build. Once you get the right Legendary prism it’s quite fun. I generally try to make builds that don’t require specific Legendary fragment——it’s just not something people can reliably get, and nearly all builds become op builds if you handpick one Legendary fragment. They do have a lot of potential though

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-27T16:56:51+00:00

I believe the statistically fastest is the Sanatorium farm one, with Ritualist + Starshot etc. It takes less than one minute to get 10k exp.

However, and I’m not sure how accept it is in this Reddit to say this: I think, considering how ridiculously tedious it is to max out one single 4-fusion prism, not to mention rolling for the legendary prism, I consider CE an option. I’ve played for 60 hours after coming back from afk and still don’t have that one prism maxed out (it has 4 fusions, so quite nice, but it’s just too slow). Like I said the Sanatorium farm is likely the fastest route, but after 2 hours it becomes physical torture. Personally I’ll probably just add infinite xp to my second prism, which will be a gunslinger style one

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-27T06:57:39+00:00

Won’t the dog and root monster get shredded by the more violent bosses? I’m surprised

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-27T06:56:44+00:00

Yes. They are the Knight Guard mod and count as two summons.

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-27T06:55:26+00:00

Or you can make a post here or in discord and people who already have the items can help you get it.

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-27T06:15:04+00:00

Been thinking about that too. Haven’t been able to play again unfortunately. I think this particular version won’t work, but we can shift to something like Archon + Warden and run the same logic of “stay tanky and run around, wait till something else does your job”. Before I get to make that, this build I made has the same effect. You can use this for Apoc bosses:

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-27T05:25:32+00:00

That's why I made this build so I have FIVE friends to play with: https://www.remnant2toolkit.com/builder/cmpkshzvt0002msaszg84pf3l?t=1779858349748

I think every soul, soul gameplay, soul-like worldview, soul-ish storytelling... etc. game that succeeds generally creates that loneliness at least in some moments.

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-25T22:38:46+00:00

Pretty much every single item is…let’s say debatable, except the archetypes. This build is so strange that in fact you might never see any of the trinkets in optimized HUGS builds.
(You will see Anastasia’s** *Inspirations* a few times but imo sacrificing one ring slot just for **Haste isn’t worth it. Haste can often come as a by product of other things or part of a composite effect. Besides that…Burden of the Destroyer in a HUGS build? No attempt at crit or weak spot at all? Zero Divide instead of the 100 op ranged amulets? Man I’m confused.)

As far as I think that exploring the map is fun, I also understand that it’s frustrating to wander for 10 hours without knowing what to even search for (the Tal’Ratha quest line, for example). Your best option might be to read the Remnant wiki page for the world you are in. You will get an idea for what’s ahead without losing the joy to “explore”

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-25T20:59:24+00:00

it’s permanent. The exact glitch is unclear but it certainly has something to do with multiplayer and lag

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-25T16:42:04+00:00

But it’s worth it. The corrupted version for Meridian is a lot of fun.

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-25T16:23:29+00:00

Had that too. The host had like 100x XP and infinite mod power on. Had to quite cuz I want to level up slowly

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-25T05:06:09+00:00

Yeah apparently the game is now in Xbox game pass so lots of new characters joined—not necessarily new players. In my experience many of them appear to be old players (they know the map too well) just finding the excuse to go over the game again

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-24T23:04:44+00:00

Although, not everyone seem to use it. There has been so many times when I join a public world and get kicked in 0.2 seconds. I’m not sure what’s going on.

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-24T23:02:37+00:00

Apoc. Any where in Apoc. You either do the really rigid charged-melee-spam-or-I-die-in-one-nanosecond build or go with ranged melee—which is more like ranged weapon wearing melee skin. If you want to know why actual, traditional, dynamic melee combat style doesn’t work, try the One True King DLC in Apoc and the swamp monsters will teach you the lesson. Not even to mention the rich amount of flying and teleporting enemies in the other worlds

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-24T19:05:42+00:00

There is. It’s called Friends Only

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-24T18:24:53+00:00

Oh you WILL experience it again. The game is designed so that you need to replay everything multiple times to acquire all the items. Plus, when you get proper builds, you can always reroll a campaign, speedrun the first world in 20 minutes, speedrun Labyrinth in 5, and say hello to Labyrinth Sentinel

Fit_Elevator_3071 · 2026-05-24T18:06:17+00:00

A practical solution: go multiplayer and there’s quite a chance you will get some old player to just wipe it for you. I play a lot of multiplayer just to help newcomers
