Crab advice for my 13-year-old

Hello, Heroes and Villains,

My 13-year-old really wants to play a Crab, but I've told him no *gun* characters, so I'm PL'ing him to 24 while he levels his other alt so he can start off with a backpack.

Any suggestions on a simple-to-play backpack build at 24? He'll probably level *very* slowly.

Doctor Octopus is one of his favorite characters.

Thanks!

Just as a side note, be aware he'll still be able to select the gun powers once he reaches level 24 although I assume you'll watch him to make sure he doesn't.

In any case here's a really basic level 24 build using just SOs. One note, I didn't slot any accuracy enhancements in the attacks, between TT:Leadership and CT:Offensive he should have sufficient accuracy for handling +0 and +1 enemies but he'll have trouble if he wants to play at higher difficulties. CT:O is basically equivalent to half an SO of accuracy in every power so it's a good way to save slots while leveling on a Spider but it's something I normally spec out of at level 50.

I'm hoping this is fine for Endurance usage, you may need to stick a Miracle or Numina in health if he's having trouble there.
