My Personal Guide

• Mechanics
• Denotation
•  increases the explosion range and damage of robots in range.
• Make sure to detonate all robots that can be detonate to maximize their potential damage.
• Example of denotable robots:     

• Skill Build
• Max these passive
•        
• Then max these active first
•           
• Then use the rest of SP for these
•        
• My hotkeys
• 
  
• Skill Rationale
• Leave      at level 1 for movement and utilities if needed.    offers I-frames.
•  decreases income damage, but not worth the SP point.
•  is a good option to max for mechanic being magical damage.
•  can be maxed based on reference, it's burst vs. sustained damage. Most kdnf players on dunfaoff.com doesn't max it.
• Popular Talisman 
• Sparrow: Shoot-down Mode  and Numerous Mech Drop 
• Active Protection System  is a good option, but it doesn't provide as much benefit (e.g factory fly around you with , and drop all robot at once with )
• SP dump in order of recommendation
•   - Highly recommended
• Both has great damage with TP. Pick and choose based on gears.
• In 25-sec rotation, without cooldown reduction gears, can fit 2   which will outdamage 1 . However, with cooldown gears (e.g. runes), can fit 2  which easily outdamage 3 
•  - Moderately recommended
•  synchronizes all the existing Vipers' locations to the one that was set up last, making it very viable with TP.
•  - Mildly recommended
• Lazy damage, just cast and let him do the damage.
• The AI attack pattern is not consistent enough.
• In 25-sec rotation, 7  outdamage  by a long mile.
•    - Not recommended
• Damage is okay.
• Don't have enough SP to max all 3 to get their full benefit.
• Worth noting that if have full Ruination epic set, you can put 1 SP to the raptor to proc the healing effect.

Changelog

• 7/27/20
• ADDED: Ruination proc effect with raptor
• ADDED:  mechanic
• CHANGED:   recommendation. Both are equally good based on gears.
