Daikyu Lifesteal Set for hybrid long-range/close range combat | NO RIVEN

Hi there,

This is my current [Daikyu] build for Horizon: Zero Dawn fanbois.

Thanks to [Split Flights], this bow now becomes a hybrid long range "sniper" and close range deadly "shotgun".

Unlike the [Kuva Bramma], this weapon and build requires accuracy on the player's part (you must have good aim and be able to predict where your arrow will land.

Now for all the others mods...

  • [Amalgam Serration]: I use this mod for the sprint speed boost, as I don't mind the little lost of 10% in damage that Serration would provide. You can always use Serration at your own will if you prefer maximizing on damage.

  • [Amalgam Daikyu Target Acquired]: I use this mod for the increased damage for headshots, for the lifesteal with nikanas as I main Sepfhan (I'm a nikana fanboi, shhhh) and the 60% chance to pickup used arrows is just a nice plus.

  • [Vile Acceleration]: I use this mod to amazingly reduce the time required to charge the bow= you can fire deadly arrows more often, at the detriment of 15% overall damage, but you'll end up doing more damage anyways.

  • [High Voltage] & [Malignant Force]: I use both these mods to (of course) get the cliché armor [Shredder] status, corrosive damage, but also just to get a straight 100%+ status chance so that every shot is going to afflict a status proc.

  • [Point Strike] & [Vital Sense]: I use both these mods to make you more likely to get critical hits, but also to hit harder on those critical shots. (Yes, I know it's not rocket science!)

  • [Terminal Velocity]: I use this mod to make your arrow go faster to their destination... Pretty simply right? You'll just have to adjust with your predictions (I've talked about at the beginning).

You may use any other mods at your own convenience, this is just my build (inspired by other great [Daikyu] builds on the website (such as the [Daikyu] Lifesteal build)).

I don't use my [Daikyu] at all times, in every missions. I mostly use it when the target is far away, flying, hard to [Reach], mass of mobs (and I want to have fun instead of shredding them with my [Nikana]).

I don't think you should use your primary at all times, but instead use all your weapons to synergize together so you end up being more effective in your missions. That being said, can you synergize on a bunch of enemies, everywhere? Not really, in these cases, I take advantage to get my melee combo multiplier up.

With 3.0 punch through, you can easily clear a small room by getting your split flight's stack to max.

I wish I had a riven for this weapon, as I currently main it to make myself a kunoichi build.

For your information, the build is 5 forma's, so yes: it's expensive. I find it well worth the investment as it serves me really well. (I know it already says 5 in the information box, but sometimes it's not accurate as by changing a polarity will automatically add a forma... BUT I DIGRESS).

To end this, I hope that anyone can find this build useful in some way. Stay safe, Tennos!
