Katana/SR noob help

[Tonzofo]

I am just starting and kinda lost in what is my best bet when it comes to leveling and I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a build (I couldn't really find any when I did some googling)

I've never played a Katana scrapper, so I couldn't offer advice on that front.  I did play SR way back when, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that people prefer Ninjitsu, now that it's available to scrappers.  I could be wrong about that.

 

I'll offer some general advice - if you're new to the game, I wouldn't worry about builds or slotting or even optimal rotations just yet.  Explore the powers and see what seems to work.  Ask about specific problems if you have them (like, you feel like you're not doing enough damage, or you're running out of endurance, or you get mobbed by enemies on a regular basis).  Team up when you can, and if a vet offers constructive criticism, follow up on it.  Also, play a few other archetypes - you might be surprised what you can learn from that (I didn't really "get" scrapping until I'd played a controller).

 

Anyway, sorry I couldn't offer more direct advice.  Maybe some kindly Kat/SR will jump in.

Thanks this is good advice, I started doing just that. Was hoping for a 'main' since that's what I tend towards but casually trying out a few characters has been great.
