I feel like it should be stressed more that regardless of your build, you don’t ever want any of the mod slots in your armor or weapons to be empty. Having ANY mod in that slot increases the base values of the item. So all armor rating goes up by adding a cooling or warming mod even though neither actually adds to the armor rating. Just having the slot filled buffs the item. Edit: this was apparently changed in 1.0. I just tested it myself, and adding unnecessary mods does NOT, in fact, improve the base statistics of your apparel. It does still increase the value, though my early testing implies it does so by a lesser degree than it used to (a level 2 scavenger hat goes from 240 to 312 with a cooling mod, and the mod on its own has a value of 80).
You get crit resist from the health bar. You should need it unless you crap is about to go down and you need to go beast mode. This build has no issues with 2 to 3 zombies. You're better off with the damage reduction for the bigger ones if you do take a hit. But in the end you do you and what feels the best for your play style. All that matters is you are having fun 😁
I do play with the skill Charisma in order to boost a friend of mine using that build, this gives him extra resistance in case that was not broken enough.
Thanks for the great tips! I'm not new to 7days but 1.0 has a learning curve that frustrated me (probably because I'm too used to the alphas). Haters are gonna hate but just play in a way that makes the game fun for you. I only play single player so I do cheat on my first playthrough to get used to the game then I go back and play without the cheats. That's what makes me enjoy the game. This was a good video with great editing and commentary. Thanks again.
Quad pocket on all armor below 50? Extremely unlikely. You can only get one from the tourist challenge and the schematic is basically non existent because the loot pool is so flooded with books.
The truth about this build is that knuckles sadly have not enough damage, in higher difficulties with this build you can stand almost any zombie as long as it's alone, but you will hardly ever fight a zombie alone. This can't handle moderate groups of zombies as they tae forever to die and all that time you're taking way more damage than what you can heal back. As shown in the vid, even a small group of rather normal zombies let him with 2/3 HP and many injuries, imagine doing a T5 PoI... lots of healing required or time wasted waiting to self heal (if zombies let you that time), lots of medical supplies used... definitely not what comes to my mind when thinking about a "god" build. By level 46 you can perform way better than this with stealth, or spears, or maces, or basically anything
@@security864 It's not me who lost 1/3 HP and got many injuries on a simple fight that any spear, bat, mace or even knife could have done without taking a hit. And the bad player it's me? Yeah sure, because 4k hours on Insane, testing every weapon, every build, lots of horde bases, make me a noob. Or maybe the vid shows clearly the flaws in this build so I have nothing to prove since it does by itself and you're the one not wanting to see it. Just for your knowledge, knuckles are BY FAR my favourite weapon in the game and I'd really LOVE this build to work on Insane, but it doesn't. Sadly, the only weapon that performs worse than knuckles is the stun baton. Knuckles, knifes and stun baton are similar weapons: small, short range, bad movement to hit more than a zombie at a time, and low damage. Among these 3, knuckles have feats that undeniably lead you into longer fights: lowest stamina consumption, inherent bonus to knockdown and self-healing, none of them is an offensive feat. Knives and baton have DoT, Knives have a huge bonus to stealth attacks and baton even has his exclusive candy to make it AoE DoT, so they both are clearly more offensive oriented (despite baton attacks speed and the unability to stack the shock effect makes it underperform in higher difficulties). You may like it or not, but disagreeing won't make it to not be true: 1, by level 46 you can outperform this build with almost any weapon in the game. And 2, you can wear these armor pieces and drop all points into knuckles, switching them into another weapon, and it will outperform knuckles as well. The only reason you chose knuckles over other melees is because of the healing, and you "missed" that avoiding incoming damage is always better than healing incoming damage. Can this build go well in lowest difficulties? Of course it could, in those difficulties you can kill irradiated zombies with a wrench, so yes, but it won't make it an "inmortal god" build. Inmortal gods don't get 1/3 HP lost and 3 injuries on an easy fight.
@@security864no you just don’t play the game brother I have already put almost a thousand hours into this game knuckles are the worst weapons if we’re talking about insane difficulty the best build for insane are prolly strength and intellect something you lack
@firespark I run something similar to this build, but I'd put weighted head in knuckles for the knock down. Especially against groups it makes a big difference, but with the Bar Brawler vol 4 book extra dmg to knocked down enemies... it can make a huge difference with rads if you play tactically. It can be the difference between a kiting fight and a 1-2 knock-out. I also prefer the Preacher gloves. I know you focus on melee... but sometimes it's appropriate to whip out a gun or a bow. Having the "extra damage against undead' for me is better than just melee damage
Thanks for the vids FireSpark; as someone that's about to play 7D2D for the first time in a while with a group of friends, getting this information on new stuff is really useful. Would you suggest this or the ghost build for the first multiplayer PvE game we've played in about 2 years? This one seems a bit more reliable as it should work during horde night but that ghost build was pretty darn awesome.
ive been using this build and its super good i can face tank hordes yeah it easier with guns but this is just fun out there just sockin heads.its a good build for ppl that like melee im lovin it.
@@joshuahammond2473 I havent gone into Iron Gut in the current build, but if works like previously it also increases buff time of consumables, which makes it an even better investment for this build.
@tremas3329 I haven't either, however I've gotten a few of the needed skill books already and I'm on day 3, I may switch to this build from agility and go straight into it, will quite good if it does
Nice build i gona try it just for fun My fav armor is a bit diffrent though Head nerd or rouge Body Nomad Gloves preacher Boots comando or Nomad It is a awsome Allrounder And a good base for most builds
I think the nerd hat is just for exp gain. It’s heavy armor so any other heavy would be same. That nomad hat is nice since you don’t need as much food or drink
Too many crybabies in this comment section. Thanks Firespark for highlighting some of the best perks and skill books in thr game, a great polishing tutorial on my pre 1.0 favourite build! Long live the immortal Fistie!
Dude this is overpowered, and they aren’t “crybabies” they are just saying that it’s a bit too overpowered and less of a challenge, this makes 7 days to die in to 7 days to live, and oh yeah I forgot, You really must enjoy creative mode
It's stupid that they've let this happen in the base game, especially at this point in their dev cycle. It makes the end game boring. There's no challenge when you can't be hurt and you already have everything this quickly. I'm glad you're making videos to point this out. Your edits are excellent and you're a good narrator (announcer?). Either way, good stuff on the video and the topic. Sad for 7dtd.
Thank you for the kind words. Do keep in mind that getting to this point of over poweredness in the game will take some time. But I personally don't see an issue with it. Being op in games is fun. I think more games need to let people have a power trip. If you think it makes the game boring play a build that challenges you or make up your own rules. Like I currently have a game going where I can't craft anything that's not in the build menu. It so much fun. Freeing even.
@Firespark81 How are you doing with that challenge? I had a no crafting challenge in A21 and loved it, but loot was a lot better in that version. I tried doing the same in 1.0 but it's been difficult. I limit myself to what I can do irl. I can cook, sew, garden, do minor repairs, build a wood cube, etc. But I can't craft weapons and ammo, or a vehicle. I wouldn't know how to make a wrench or pickaxe.
Brawler build has been roughly this powerful for a couple alpha's now, though likely a bit more feasible/easier to get to earlier in a playthrough with the new armor bonuses and crafting mechanics.
@@tremas3329 yeah, you're definitely not wrong. I guess I just got my hopes up too high for this 1.0 release. I was excited about the armor sets. Might as well open the dev panel and turn on God mode at this point. The end game ease and repetition kills it for me. The first 2 weeks in-game are still solid though, with plenty of consequences and choices. After roughly day 14 though ☹️
its not the breaking legs but the fall damage as parkour lvl 4 dosent negate fall damage you just don't break legs or sprain. The dukes and bracing mods mean you can fall alot further without taking damage.
@@squiggling568 i used to jump off the skyscraper with lvl4. Guess they changed it from alpha 21 lol but honestly, even if its like 10 blocks before you take damage, you don’t need more Than that.

Because she gave me an abrasion which lowers your max hp. As stated in the video you are not immune to critical injuries but they also don't really slow you down.
Immortal God, that goes down over 30 health in a few seconds with just half dozen zombies?? With an actual horde, or doing any POI with more than a dozen zombies, you're dead. Which is most of your time in 7D2D. I would hardly call that 'Immortal God' lol This build isn't even close to immortal, its the same as a dozen other builds that also can die fairly easily if you try to tank a hordes. Sure its a fun build, but you're completely lieing/over-selling what it is.
i have to agree especially after watching Capp00 @capp00 play his One Punch Man series and he even had trouble sometimes keeping his health up with large crowds of zombies. just thought i would share my thoughts on this. thank you aunti anya.
Yes let's get into semantics about what I called it to peak your interest. You can clearly 1v1, 1v2, even 1v4 most things and come out on top with little to no issues. Maybe a few hp down but clearly alive all while face tanking if you had to. That group fight would destroy most. I would call a 30 HP loss after getting beat in the face for 30 sec by many zombies all while not healing a bleed pretty freaking immortal. Also if you are clearing a poi and have more than a dozen zombies just beating on you long enough to die in this build you are just bad at the game and should probably play on easier settings until you learn. Just sayin lol
@@Firespark81 It's not semantics, its English. You can 1v1 and 1v2 with literally any gear. With a gun, you kill groups before they even get to you, and without loosing ANY HP at all. Most players aren't going to stand there and take a beating, because they are NOT Immortal Gods, just like this build isn't. But some builds CAN stand still and destroy a group without loosing any HP, unlike this build. A straight M60 in any armor would destroy those zombies pretty quick, no HP lost. ... Wow, and now you claim this build can kill zombies fast enough that you never face groups while clearing a POI? Oh, please make a video clearing high gamestage Crack-a-book HQ Infestation. Or any of the Teir 6 Infestations with large zombie groups spawning. Love to see this. lol It's not semantics, you're simply wrong.
