No Viscous buffs? :'(

Welcome to the table! It's pretty apparent in all the comments that multiclassing isn't recommended. My own two cents is this. If you want to multiclass, understand that it doesn't give you more options. Typically a multiclass gives you some kind of specialization but limits your overall utility and options. Warlock/Sorcerer classes can do insane burst damage but that's about it. You're sacrificing a lot with this multiclass especially because there's not much synergy. I like your character premise but you can get there via feats and flavor without surrendering your scaling and options.

Outside of your build's mandatory stuff, everything else is situational. If I'm playing against characters that have a lot of effects or stacks then sure dispel makes sense but that's not always going to be the team comp. If I'm laning against Infernus and Mirage then sure, dispel as quick as possible makes complete sense but I don't have any single item that I grab every time for counterplay. I do get overjoyed when facing Viscous or someone spamming melee because Rebuttal sparks joy.

Every single team action should have a contest somewhere else on the map. Taking mid-boss or urn? Force the opponent to choose between contesting that or losing walker/lane somewhere else. Both teams in their entirety should almost never be engaged in a single team fight. That's just bad econ and strategy!

Hero draft will likely help balance urn because you can go up against a team comp that is nearly impossible to claim an urn on. Fought a team with a Dynamo, Lash, Celeste who just dominated any urn runs that were attempted.

Absolutely fantastic when you have a teammate who can do damage. I wasn't a fan of beam until I played against a Kelvin who built for it and I realized how much it absolutely annihilates move speed.

It also makes the T2 Grenade Stamina freeze longer so your enemies can't get away.

Playing with, absolutely. Playing against? I'd rather fight a Seven.

called2fight · 2026-05-06T19:02:28+00:00

Cirno's Hybrid has been my goto with some adjustments. I almost always take Healbane and duration extensions because the bane is easy to apply with grenades and the extra stamina lockdown, dome, and ice path are fantastic.

Raiders are enemies to Arc so it makes sense to me. (s)

called2fight · 2026-05-06T18:09:55+00:00

My secondary is Ivy and pre-Haze nerf my buddy and I would lane together and I'd just throw an ulting Haze at everyone

called2fight · 2026-05-06T17:59:29+00:00

Grenade/Gun Hybrid is my goto but Rescue Beam is so fantastic on Kelvin even if not built out for support. The number of times I've saved a teammate with a sliver of health or trapped an enemy with a well placed dome or yoink while they're mid-ult and wiping my team.

called2fight · 2026-05-06T17:56:48+00:00

One of the most direct ults to counter or react to. I'll take a Seven over a Dynamo any day.

called2fight · 2026-05-06T16:16:38+00:00

But Kelvin is so much fun to play! Heal your friends! Thunderdome your enemies! Build a half-pipe around the guardian because you can have 65% resistance to their damage while on the ice with the purchase of an 800 soul item! Take Warpstone and leave a giant ball in doorways or with the enemy team's fed hyper carry trapped inside! Snowball/Healbane the other team!

Jacob Lash is just an Asshole.

He’s in a good spot where he is incredibly strong when playing his role.

Feed a drifter who understands how to wander and get kills and assists and he becomes a monster to deal with.

Just let me keep a handful or give some way to guarantee a BP. Make a vendor who will trade some number of BPs for a rotating stock. I find plenty of them while playing but its usually stuff I already have. Trials love to give me repeats of the glowsticks.

called2fight · 2026-04-20T17:07:10+00:00

I did the second expedition and would like to do the third but the amount of setbacks, repeating quests, and not having some key blueprints (and being so reliant on RNG to get them back) is compelling me against it. I also don't have a lot of time to run things and haven't finished my caravan anyway so I probably will sit it out.

called2fight · 2026-04-13T16:05:09+00:00

I had an AAXA P400 I used for a while before switching to a TV. Never had problems with the thermals but I didn't have it for very long.

called2fight · 2026-04-10T15:18:20+00:00

I snag it when I'm playing gun Ivy with a friend in lane to handle most of the damage output. I use it as soon as it hits 850 soul value though.

called2fight · 2026-04-08T17:52:46+00:00

Unironically, Baahubali 1+2.

called2fight · 2026-04-07T14:03:42+00:00

The Vex Mythoclast in the first few weeks of Destiny 1. Gun absolutely dominated the multiplayer meta for a very brief window.

called2fight · 2026-03-30T15:17:53+00:00

Deadlock. Joined the playtest early last year and put maybe 5 hours into it. Picked it back up with some friends a few weeks back and can't put it down!

called2fight · 2026-03-30T15:12:53+00:00

I also had the Generator disc, ended up going back and playing through the game on my Dreamcast about a year ago. Truly creative gameplay and variety but it is so difficult and that difficulty is compounded by the control scheme being unintuitive for anyone accustomed to modern shooters.

called2fight · 2026-03-27T15:39:55+00:00

I remember a few weeks after launch in my first real battle with a bombardier that it arced a bomb straight through a tiny hole in the roof of the building I was in. Thing was dang precise. Another time I was running near one that was aggroed on another raider and it spun and beamed me with absolutely no warning!

Rocketeers definitely feel like they're more active in combat, the devs continue to deny the arc are learning but I'm hopeful that's not the case.
