Vauban P - Kurel's AKM 2.0

Kurel's AKM 2.0

The Automated Killer Machine. Not to be mistaken with an Automated Teller Machine. This one dispenses corpses, not credits.

New and improved version of my old AKM build, which required an external energy source to sustain.

1 Forma, 1V. Use regular [Intensify] if you don't have the Umbral version.
Exilus slot is flexible; feel free to add a forma to the build if you prefer an Exilus mod that costs more than 9 capacity.

If you wish, you can use Dispensary + [Equilibrium] instead of Spectrorage + [Spectrosiphon]. If you are doing this, ensure that [Synth Fiber] is installed on your companion. This has the benefit of giving a way of restoring health, at the cost of consistent energy economy.

Variants

Arcane Arachne: Replaces Molt Efficiency. Higher damage output, at the cost of reduced AFK-ness and periodic buff refresh.

How to play this build

  1. Pick a large space, preferably with open sight lines and minimal obstructions. This area will become your kill box.
  2. In the middle of your killbox, throw in this order: Spectrorage > one [Flechette] > one Vortex > three more Flechettes.
  3. Throw Overdriver at the ground at your feet. It buffs [Flechette] damage.
  4. Throw as much Vortex as you can, until you [Reach] the duration cap of ~245 seconds (~191 for Arachne variant). Each Vortex adds ~17 seconds (~13 for Arachne variant).
  5. Refresh everything in this priority: Spectrorage > Flechettes > Vortex > Overdriver on self.
  6. Feel free to cast Photon Strike with any excess energy. You'll probably have some if you're playing this build right.
  7. If playing the Arachne variant, wall latch periodically for the buff. It boosts [Flechette] damage.
  8. Enjoy the corpse dispenser.

If enemy density is persistently low, you may run out of energy. Move to an area of higher enemy density if needed.

Edits

2022 Jan 5 -- Switched Spectrorage position to 1st ability slot. [Tesla Bank] just isn't worth it, and Photon Strike is better anyways. Gives a burst damage option and cuts out the RNG middleman.

2022 Jun 18 -- Switched Augur Message to Repelling Bastille, switched Arcane Arachne to Molt Efficiency. These changes increase the AFK-ness of the build.
