It is a bit wonky, but it does work. Thanks for that.

I always have hasten on auto, wish we could do a few more. I did not realize the buff is a whopping 2 minutes long though.

On paper, you wouldn't. But Practiced Brawler does have a chunky 64 second recharge in this build. But most importantly: You still have to notice it, and when you're in a cluster of enemies its easy to miss it and just go splat in a matter of seconds.

Bump, since I did a massive build overhaul

No problem, I don't mind sharing the stuff I've made 👍

Battle Maid 01.costume This is just one of her outfits, but it is the only actual "Maid" one

Yes, it's worth keeping even if the aoe is a bit limited with the 8y. Together with flashing steel these are your only options to AoE in the Katana powerset.

So after some time I have revised this build quite a bit, and thought I'd update my post here. (Last edit was on 2023-05-26) What's the idea behind this build? While I really like it, the Katana set lacks quite a bit of AoE making soloing radio missions not ideal. And since that's the content I mostly do, I thought I'd update her for it. I've thrown out a bit of defense and there is no "oh shi~" healing skills anymore. But in return I now have decent AoE in the form of Exploding Shuriken. Exploding shuriken is completely rigged up for damage procs, and one knockdown proc for a bit of soft control. It's a mini-nuke on a very short cooldown. I usually do Build Up > Exploding Shuriken > The Lotus Drops > Flashing steel > Any other attack > The Lotus Drops for my AoE. This usually deletes most of the mobs. So what are the key abilities that I need to press here? Not that many, as it should be on a scrapper. The attacks you'll use are Soaring Dragon, Golden Dragon Fly, Flashing Steel, Gamblers Cut, The Lotus Drops and Exploding Shuriken. With Exploding Shuriken and The lotus Drops mainly for AoE. As for your power-up powers? Put your Hasten on Autocast and make sure to press Practiced Brawler on Cooldown. That's it. Just a small side-note, but don't forget you also get Caltrops and Webgrenade. Caltrops is a great AoE crowd control that slows anyone down getting in it, and they also can't jump anymore. Webgrenade is great to bring down flyers or to just to hold someone in place. Here's some footage of me fumbling about in +8/x4 radio missions to give you an idea what the build can do: Battle Maid: Level 50 Natural Scrapper Note: I'm running teleportation as my travel power, but feel free to pick any you like. Sticking with this build you have the option for Teleport, Super Speed and Super Jump.
