Introduction

Hi there, this is my first build to be published in this site, so if you have better suggestion for my build, just drop a comment and I'll read it when I'm free. I've played this game since 2014, and been doing Steel Path with IRL friends for few years already, so I felt like I should write the guide about my beloved Lesion (as well as progressing my own Steel Path haha).

About this Build

Before we start, if you don't have the Riven mod, you can swap it with Molten Impact for Viral/Heat or Buzz Kill for Viral/Slash, whichever suits your playstyle. Both options are still good in Steel Path. No Riven mod only requires 2 Formas.

The compulsory mod that makes [Lesion] a monster is Condition Overload. Berserker Fury is much better than Primed Fury, but if you don't have them both, Fury is good enough, or Quickening for the memes.

When it comes to Riven mod, even with low Riven disposition in [Lesion], the mod I am using is still too good because of the Status Chance, Slash and Melee Damage, and I was lucky enough to get these stats on my 13th reroll. Not really GODLIKE, but it's still pretty solid! The only downside for my Riven mod is it nerfs damage to Corpus, so might need primary/secondary weapon that compensates the nerf.

Weapon Synergy

To be honest with you, you can bring any primary/secondary weapons to your liking if you plan to melee all the way OR you think my taste is crap. Below is the one that I find most successful with:

• Cedo synergizes very well with Lesion because of its Blasts on its alternate fire. If you build your Cedo to Viral/Slash, you can switch out Vicious Frost with Voltaic Strike for Corrosive/Heat, or you can stick with Viral/(Slash or Heat).
• Kuva Nukor also pairs well with [Lesion] because it deals Radiation damage.

Just my two cents, these two weapons goes well with [Lesion] because you can take advantage of other statuses to maximize your damage thanks to yours truly, Condition Overload. I'm assuming it is uncapped, so you can fully take advantage of Condition Overload to maximize your DPS.

Conclusion

My build is FAR from perfect as I am still testing mainly on weapon synergies. As this is my first time making a build, I am open to criticism and feedbacks as I treat them with high regard. I'm an average casual player that loves theorycrafting, so there will be better builds out there than mine. I will be updating this build occasionally when I find new test, so with that, thank you for reading my first guide.
