The BEST Katana Build Cyberpunk 2.0+ | ACTUALLY Overpowered CRIT Build | Cyberpunk 2077 Best Builds

how'd you get this cyberware face?

There's a hand cyberware that improve throwing knifes

How did you get your knives' return times so low? Blue Fang is still at 10 seconds for me at 5++

Great video! Thank you

Don't most katanas already surpass the 2/second swing rate that microrotors says it can't exceed?

great build thank you

would be good to show some rampaging around normal gameplay rather than just spamming on a boss. boss damage is good but the feel and flow cant really be shown just looking at menus. overall a good build, just need to shown how it plays.

what level requirement to find tier 5 in ripperdoc?

No love for sandy? How badly did they nerf that thing? I haven't played in quite some time, and the last time I played, sandy was pretty busted when paired with blades.

Doesn't the microrotors actually slow your attack speed? Katanas already have over 2 attacks a second right?

What difficulty was the demonstration on?

Finally a damn guide that links the planner.

are falling down finishers removed?

Bookoo U need a godam life at least some cardio .. bro imagine someone spitting on your wife ..

Best weapon is a non iconic 5++ Katana with two cyclone mods, it has the equal highest damage and as long as you sprint into combat you always have the speed bonus that byakko has without needing to kill enemies

This is a similar build to mine except I prefer the Sandevistan! I'm around level 40 so my cyberware isn't all iconic ++.
I prefer the electric Katana "The scalpal" with the electric throwing axe u get from the DLC. I heard the new Thermal katana is popular as well for these builds.

This is an awesome video, I especially appreciate the weapon discussion and I absolutely learned lots of new things there.
If I may though, I personally think this build can be improved cyberware-wise.

1. Most importantly, I think nothing even comes close to the Apogee Sandevistan. The Apogee gives you +20% extended duration every time you kill an enemy which is high enough that you spend very little time outside of Sandevistan.

2. Because of that 20% extended duration you won't need Axolotl anymore, that's 55 cyberware points that can be used toward other iconic cyberware, particularly intertegumentary. The main ones are chitin (gives a lot of armor and +200% health regen if you have body maxed, which is pretty absurd coupled with the regen perks from body) and peripheral inverse (the iconic version of proxishield, which gives 45% damage protection instead of 20% (or 25%? I forget) of the normal version).

3. Replace bionic joints for epimorphic skeleton. It's 250 armor and 15% max health which is a big boon

These improvements will net you about 250 more armor, and noticeably more damage reduction at close range (very useful in boss fights). That's pretty significant when added up with the carapace reduction.

The caveats of this build are that:
- it's a very lategame build, it uses very close to 330 cyberware points (which seems to be the cap) You can use bionic joints instead of epimorphic skeleton to save some capacity until you progress enough
- in order to fill all your slots (for that 15% cooldown perk) you'll need to use a few filler or non-ideal cyberware, such as threatevac or kerenzikov boost system (even though you may not have kerenzikov). Heal on kill would've been nicer, although I rarely find myself lacking HP and ~10% per kill honestly isn't that important considering you barely get hit due to Sandevistan

Happy experimenting, and thanks again!

Yo how can I increase my cyberwear capacity, my is way lower than yours

axolotl was heavily nerfed it seems - 5++ only has 7.5% now

This is the best one..

I'm doing a katana/monowire/netrunner build now, it's pretty op already at level 30.

I'm back to the stone age with my xbox one 😭
Christmas ruined my Eddie Bank

Just for more optimization: your 6 pts in Intel is useless cause first, they don't unlock any more perks before 9 pts. And second, the bonus about just put some more point is just for every 4 pts, so 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20.

So in my opinion, put your last pts in body to have more hp is better than this 2 useless pts in intelligence

I have a question. Why berserk and not sandevistan?

Pair this with max adrenaline boosters with health and you’re a god 😂

awsome thanks! question: when you start off should you prioritize some skill trees over others? how should i go about picking skills? thanks

How do you have 2 slots for face? I dont have them

Hello Pablo Escobar

Do you remember what you set your starting stats at?

thx for the spoiler in the start of video btw

Clearly you are not on very hard and definitely are not in the quest "(don't ) fear the reaper"!!!!!

I am going to try copying this into my Sandevistan build, thank you for the ideas! Subscribed!

Great build and guide. I would suggest handle wrap for hands. Throwing weapon crit and melee damage.

Hands are not useless if you upgrade then an try to get a + melee damage stat on both. You should aim to get that with all you're cyber wear. Could get pricey tho.

Le best? Mon build katana Def plus que celui ci😅

k so i dont have the dlc but i wanna try this build. would that work at all?

Yeh this guys good

Loved the video. Respectfully, the AI art thumbnail sucks major ass tho. Don't use ai art, it's lame bruh.

Relic?

where do i find the cyber wear, can you post a vid abt it??

Would have liked a spoiler warning right at the beginning of the video..

Where do you get the swords? I'm new

We need impossible difficulties

How come everyone’s perk tree looks different from mine I have an Xbox version

The best build!!!! One of the biggest reasons I bought this game for was being able to use a katana.

Thanks for this - very comprehensive - like that you included proper details in the description too - just tried this build and it's excellent!

ty

Oh man I remember in 1.7 doing criticals with that sword and a sandevistan it was so stupidly OP, delicious. Or without sandy and with the legendary short circuit quick hack where all crits would still prog shock damage.

At level 42, I had to change the difficulty to very hard. I just unintentionally one shotted a cyberpaycho on the hard difficulty. This build is craaaaazy
