thank you

This is my older Kat/Ena, but for extreme durablity, not damage.

Mu is the oldest build. DN 2i was probably the next build, and the D+ and G+ are the current dual builds.

Fun thing about Kat/Ena, is if you add Dampeners, which are dirt cheap, you can cap SL defense very early, and break the game by level 13 ish.

Pretend I'm new to the idea of Build Optimization - how does this work by 13? And that sounds like it would be good for smash/lethal farming.

Linea · August 31, 2022

Dampeners are 15-ish SL (probably 12 or 13 for scrapper), you use alternate sets for the other things, you end up with SL around 45 defense, as well as whatever other stuff. Divine Avalanche can stack, up to 3 times, but probably only twice at that level. Before the defense changes of Page 4, that SL was skewed into other defense types. And you have good M defense as well to help with the other types, and at that level M/SL is really the only 'dangerous' type.

You would also likely want to use a different build for low level. That's the 801 build, end-game, revised many times for specific end-game stuff. Leveling up it would be considerably beneficial to shake it up a bit, aimed more toward your level. I do all that kind of adjustment on the fly as I go, usually don't even write it down as I level, just do it.
