New-ish player giving a try at making a budget perma-Crab build. Am I doing alright?

Muwu · April 1, 2023

Hi all. I've looked around the forum and discord in an attempt to make a perma crab arachno soldier. I am still really poor and so I decided to attempt a budget crab build (approx 300-500 inf, already lvl 50). Would you guys be able to help suggest some improvements and critique on it?

Thank you. ❤️

this what you meant to do? no expedient unique?

pretty good build you have.

"budget" miss

"perma-Crab build" guessing you mean perma-hasten.. close

14 knockback status protection seems excessive.

personally, I'd for "new-ish" and "budget" build I'd focus on survive-ability for a smoother leveling experience and knowing the perma pets will come later.

see below for an example of a different path:

Thanks so much for your comments. Expedient unique is on Call reinforcements.

You're right I should have specified a bit more. The character is already lvl 50. My budget is around 300-500 mil inf which I've been told is very little but thats what I have. How much knockback status protection do you reckon is enough? How are my defenses?

Really, thanks again. It was very difficult for me and I have seen the build you posted before. I took a few things from it but I am obssessesed with perma minions (and hate MM)

Troo · April 1, 2023

How much knockback status protection do you reckon is enough? 8

How are my defenses? Playstyle could impact this answer.

I like to get at least 40 Ranged for a ranged character.
For something still ranged but a little closer to the action or that will draw a lot of aggro from AoEs and debuffs, I like to get to 45+ somehow. 50 preferred with no Defense Debuff Resistance (ddr) protection.
- (that less expensive build gets near 50+ to ranged/melee/aoe turning Stealth on)

Budget: $500 mil is a good amount. Being patient with action house purchases can 1/2 the cost of a build.

~120 slots x $2 million avg = $240M (cheeeeap)
~120 slots x $4 million avg = $480M (good budget)
~120 slots x $8 million avg = $960M (expensive)

Thanks again so much. Ill have to figure out this range defense somehow. Very much appreciated!

I've been working on a Crab too! And so are some of my friends. Seems like there's an influx of Arachnos Soldiers lately.

Here's what I got going on. I wouldn't say it's "budget" but I showed this to a few players experienced with Crabs and they gave it a passing grade.

Thanks for sharing. Looks legit for sure. I'd say mines a grade below that since I chose not to use any purples to save up. But i will probably slowly transition into something like yours once I have more inf!

I have a 3 build crab/bane, but I've been thinking about rebuilding one of the three builds on it to go crabber mind as it could be more beneficial than the third wolfs spider/medic build that I made on a lark.

Regarding your nest eggs for the build, you could either slot out the character, or as another option since your a newish player...500 mil is a nice starting point to do some marketing, perhaps you can grow that into a few billion influence and still get to slot out your character (mind you marketing can take longer than the buy slot play of just purchasing the IOs). The path is open to all those willing to walk along it.

New-ish player giving a try at making a budget perma-Crab build. Am I doing alright?
