Biological Sonny with Toxicant tree plus Withdrawal deletes healer mobs before they get a turn. Keep Disrupt ready for charged casters.
Veradux on Medic AI, Sonny on Aggressive, Roald on Phalanx—that trio carried me through Zone 4 without a single wipe.
Shock Therapy into Traumatize on the Baron skips his Overdrive entirely. Psychological builds are slept on.
Hydraulic Sonny with Frost abilities plus Crystallize gear keeps enemies frozen long enough for Veradux to top everyone off.
Always carry a cleanse—Guardian Form and Adrenaline pills from cultists can snowball if you don’t purge them immediately.
Grinding the training fights in Hew stage nets enough XP to max Lightning Piercing before the Incinerator duel.
Armor stacking is great, but don’t ignore speed—going first lets you line up focus drains before elites can channel.
Switching party behaviors mid-fight is huge: flip Roald to Aggressive once the shield drops to finish off the pack.
Keep a stash of stun grenades from the shop—extra interrupts trivialize the Mayor and the Captain on Heroic.
