The BEST Katana Build Cyberpunk 2.0+ | ACTUALLY Overpowered CRIT Build | Cyberpunk 2077 Best Builds

At level 42, I had to change the difficulty to very hard. I just unintentionally one shotted a cyberpaycho on the hard difficulty. This build is craaaaazy

Oh man I remember in 1.7 doing criticals with that sword and a sandevistan it was so stupidly OP, delicious. Or without sandy and with the legendary short circuit quick hack where all crits would still prog shock damage.

ty

Thanks for this - very comprehensive - like that you included proper details in the description too - just tried this build and it's excellent!

The best build!!!! One of the biggest reasons I bought this game for was being able to use a katana.

How come everyone’s perk tree looks different from mine I have an Xbox version

We need impossible difficulties

Where do you get the swords? I'm new

Would have liked a spoiler warning right at the beginning of the video..

where do i find the cyber wear, can you post a vid abt it??

Relic?

Loved the video. Respectfully, the AI art thumbnail sucks major ass tho. Don't use ai art, it's lame bruh.

Yeh this guys good

k so i dont have the dlc but i wanna try this build. would that work at all?

Le best? Mon build katana Def plus que celui ci😅

Hands are not useless if you upgrade then an try to get a + melee damage stat on both. You should aim to get that with all you're cyber wear. Could get pricey tho.

Great build and guide. I would suggest handle wrap for hands. Throwing weapon crit and melee damage.

I am going to try copying this into my Sandevistan build, thank you for the ideas! Subscribed!

Clearly you are not on very hard and definitely are not in the quest "(don't ) fear the reaper"!!!!!

thx for the spoiler in the start of video btw

Do you remember what you set your starting stats at?

Hello Pablo Escobar

How do you have 2 slots for face? I dont have them

awsome thanks! question: when you start off should you prioritize some skill trees over others? how should i go about picking skills? thanks

Pair this with max adrenaline boosters with health and you’re a god 😂

I have a question. Why berserk and not sandevistan?

Just for more optimization: your 6 pts in Intel is useless cause first, they don't unlock any more perks before 9 pts. And second, the bonus about just put some more point is just for every 4 pts, so 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20.

So in my opinion, put your last pts in body to have more hp is better than this 2 useless pts in intelligence

I'm back to the stone age with my xbox one 😭
Christmas ruined my Eddie Bank

I'm doing a katana/monowire/netrunner build now, it's pretty op already at level 30.

This is the best one..

axolotl was heavily nerfed it seems - 5++ only has 7.5% now

Yo how can I increase my cyberwear capacity, my is way lower than yours

This is an awesome video, I especially appreciate the weapon discussion and I absolutely learned lots of new things there.
If I may though, I personally think this build can be improved cyberware-wise.

1. Most importantly, I think nothing even comes close to the Apogee Sandevistan. The Apogee gives you +20% extended duration every time you kill an enemy which is high enough that you spend very little time outside of Sandevistan.

2. Because of that 20% extended duration you won't need Axolotl anymore, that's 55 cyberware points that can be used toward other iconic cyberware, particularly intertegumentary. The main ones are chitin (gives a lot of armor and +200% health regen if you have body maxed, which is pretty absurd coupled with the regen perks from body) and peripheral inverse (the iconic version of proxishield, which gives 45% damage protection instead of 20% (or 25%? I forget) of the normal version).

3. Replace bionic joints for epimorphic skeleton. It's 250 armor and 15% max health which is a big boon

These improvements will net you about 250 more armor, and noticeably more damage reduction at close range (very useful in boss fights). That's pretty significant when added up with the carapace reduction.

The caveats of this build are that:
- it's a very lategame build, it uses very close to 330 cyberware points (which seems to be the cap) You can use bionic joints instead of epimorphic skeleton to save some capacity until you progress enough
- in order to fill all your slots (for that 15% cooldown perk) you'll need to use a few filler or non-ideal cyberware, such as threatevac or kerenzikov boost system (even though you may not have kerenzikov). Heal on kill would've been nicer, although I rarely find myself lacking HP and ~10% per kill honestly isn't that important considering you barely get hit due to Sandevistan

Happy experimenting, and thanks again!

This is a similar build to mine except I prefer the Sandevistan! I'm around level 40 so my cyberware isn't all iconic ++.
I prefer the electric Katana "The scalpal" with the electric throwing axe u get from the DLC. I heard the new Thermal katana is popular as well for these builds.

Best weapon is a non iconic 5++ Katana with two cyclone mods, it has the equal highest damage and as long as you sprint into combat you always have the speed bonus that byakko has without needing to kill enemies

PromoSM 🙋

Bookoo U need a godam life at least some cardio .. bro imagine someone spitting on your wife ..

are falling down finishers removed?

Finally a damn guide that links the planner.

What difficulty was the demonstration on?

Doesn't the microrotors actually slow your attack speed? Katanas already have over 2 attacks a second right?

No love for sandy? How badly did they nerf that thing? I haven't played in quite some time, and the last time I played, sandy was pretty busted when paired with blades.

what level requirement to find tier 5 in ripperdoc?

would be good to show some rampaging around normal gameplay rather than just spamming on a boss. boss damage is good but the feel and flow cant really be shown just looking at menus. overall a good build, just need to shown how it plays.

great build thank you

Don't most katanas already surpass the 2/second swing rate that microrotors says it can't exceed?

Great video! Thank you

How did you get your knives' return times so low? Blue Fang is still at 10 seconds for me at 5++

There's a hand cyberware that improve throwing knifes

how'd you get this cyberware face?
