Description

This build is ideal for beginners due to its forgiving defensive strategy. The build excels in early-game survival through a powerful combination of defense and passive damage.

My favorite strategy

Approach enemies, release ‣Corrosive Gas, and tighten the ‣Carapace immediately after. Let enemies come closer while protected by high ‣AV from tightened ‣Carapace. If things get dangerous:

1. Sprint away
2. Enemies pursuing you will continue taking gas damage
3. Create distance and wait for gas cooldown
4. Start again

Mutation Progression

1. Get one extra mutation early (mutation points come easily at low levels)
2. Upgrade priority:
   1. ‣Carapace first - your defensive core
   2. ‣Double-muscled second - strength boost
   3. ‣Corrosive Gas last - damage scaling

See Mutations for detailed mutation suggestions.

Gear Strategy

Build around ‣DV equipment since ‣Carapace already handles your ‣AV needs. This creates a natural defensive balance - avoiding hits when possible while safely absorbing those that land. You can sell your ‣recycling suit as we already have a natural ‣Carapace from mutation; use the money for gear if needed.
