Great build, personally I prefer sandevistan for Katanas and 2 throwables but yours seems to work fine too. I didn't think of using Shock-n-awe to trigger pyromania, good idea.
Finally someone who acknowledges the superiority of blades builds. Infinite MaxTac slaughtering, de facto immortality. Although personally I prefer Apogee Sandy over Berserk. Between armor, adrenaline and mitigation one is already survivable and the slowdown also very much makes it borderline impossible to die.
This looks like the mathematically optimal katana build for advanced players, and this is a great guide for constructing it. If you're new-ish to the game, I'd recommend the Sandevistan (either of the Iconics), but once you get used to things and feel like you can control the pace of play without it, the Berserk will offer more damage (although the Sandy will always make throwables easier to use). On a playthrough I like to start with a Sandy at lower level since you can get Scalpel so early, and then shift to a Berserk around level 35 or 40. One trick with that, of course, is you can get the Biodyne Berserk early and it is the best one, IMO, and the early Sandevistans are not very good, LOL.
In project Orion I hope they give us longer katana swing animations. More combos we can do with it, More finisher takedowns with the katana, dual wielding katana’s, an electric katana with flowing electricity throughout it, maybe a perk to throw the katana and it comes back to you, stealth kill animations with the katana and sheaths on our sides and back to place our katana in and add cloaks to wear over our clothes.
Very nice build. Now I just need to choose which one I want to go with cause they all look fun lol. At least now they added unlimited respecs which I LOVE.
I always dislike how people give Mantis Blades shit. They look cool and they can’t really be THAT bad compared to a Katana. But I’m currently doing a melee build, well melee with some guns. Mainly ARs and Pistols. Still in early game though.
Think I'll go for something similar to this but dump cool for intelligence. Want a Jedi kind of build and so a netrunner blade build fits that and being new to the game, using hacks has been getting me through the early game so far
I would go all into reflexes first and get the dash and katana perks. Then probably 15 in body and then 20 in technical ability. Or you could go 4 in body to unlock the first perks then get 20 in technical ability earlier to help enhance cyberware.
Hey Nice vid :D But where do i get a regular ++ Katana i sadly only have a crafting receipt for a normal one without the + thingy. Pls help ( I've been searching really long for this shit XD)
You have to get lucky from a Katana drop or spawn it in with Cyber Engine Tweaks if you're on PC. It's also still fine to use a Tier 5 or Tier 5+ one, the build is still strong.
I would probably drop the hand cyberware and the cheap cyberware from Skeleton & Integumentary. You will lose the bonus cooldown reduction from not having everything filled but it's probably the only way to get Sandevistan in without losing too much survivability.
Reflexes first for Katana and Dash perks, then you can choose Body for the adrenaline rush perk or Technical Ability to get improvements for cyberware and healing.
I already had it when the game updated to patch 2.0, but I'm pretty sure it scales with level now. I believe at level 40 you start seeing orange tier 5 drops.
Yeah you can use whatever you want, just put some perk points into what you want to use alongside the Katana. If you want to use the Pistol a lot you're probably better off using Sandevistan instead of Berserk.
If you have the Perks I showed, air dash regens stamina, double jump + air dash regens even more stamina. Also, whilst Berserk is active you don't have to worry about stamina management.
@@cappxd.6126 I think Berserk or Sandevistan is always going to be stronger than quickhacks with a Katana build, but you can play however you want. Also, you can respec and buy loads of different cyberware so you're not stuck with 1 build forever.
his entire build is legit, the mods he has are mainly textures, cosmetics, visual effects. you can have exactly this build and its way of playing with a vanilla version with no mods (sorry if my English is not good I am French)
Video only 8 minutes long and VERY detailed to the point. Really helps new players like me (that just started this week.) GOOD VIDEO!
Glad you found it helpful, have fun!

Great build, personally I prefer sandevistan for Katanas and 2 throwables but yours seems to work fine too. I didn't think of using Shock-n-awe to trigger pyromania, good idea.
Also, if you have level 60 in the Engineer skill, when edgerunner procs you release emp blasts and they also stack pyromania
Ticking Time Bomb is better if you have a Sandy. All you have to do is keep reactivating it once it runs out. It's also more controllable.

what's a good started sandy build?
Most op build I've ever used.
Thanks for this man ❤️

Amazing video man
damn good build
Nice video. Keep up the good work!
Much appreciated!
Not really into throwables but I do love me some 🔫. I will spec into the left side of the cool tree with this build. Amazing video and breakdown!
Me: People still putting out guides ?!
Also me on my fourth playthrough....
The game will never be too old for another playthrough
Very nice build. Now I just need to choose which one I want to go with cause they all look fun lol. At least now they added unlimited respecs which I LOVE.
He really has a tutorial... Master 🙏
Poor MaxTac team didn't see it coming
I tried this build, i can confirm that this is the most powerfull build, i can fight MaxTac for hours if i want to

There is a lightsaber mod if you're on PC
I kinda want to play this game again but I don’t feel like reinstalling all of my mods trying to figure out which one is broken 💀
Which skills would recommend going for first as you level up?
I would go all into reflexes first and get the dash and katana perks. Then probably 15 in body and then 20 in technical ability. Or you could go 4 in body to unlock the first perks then get 20 in technical ability earlier to help enhance cyberware.
Thanks man appreciate it!

Im playing in older version in series S , Can i create this build?
For the Sandevesitan, what cyberware would you recommend to build with it to account for the higher cost?
I would probably drop the hand cyberware and the cheap cyberware from Skeleton & Integumentary. You will lose the bonus cooldown reduction from not having everything filled but it's probably the only way to get Sandevistan in without losing too much survivability.
@@EnvenomYT ill give it a try. Thank you.
@@EnvenomYTthe everything filled requires the arm cyberware too. Just drop that perk and get ticking time bomb
which want the important for beginners?.. body, reflexes or technically ability?
Reflexes first for Katana and Dash perks, then you can choose Body for the adrenaline rush perk or Technical Ability to get improvements for cyberware and healing.
New to cyberpunk so ignore my ignorance. How are your hands Black and Red cybernetic?
Arasaka Cyberarms mod
How do we build the character in the thumbnail?
Walk us through the outfit and character creation, please!!!
I didn't make the character in the thumbnail, the link to the creator is in the description.
Thank you!
how do you get the stamina bar in the middle of the screen?
There is an option for it in the menus
Where did you get the Maxdoc + ? I can’t find it anywhere
I already had it when the game updated to patch 2.0, but I'm pretty sure it scales with level now. I believe at level 40 you start seeing orange tier 5 drops.
Can this build use a pistol as well? I want to make a Vampire Blade build.
Yeah you can use whatever you want, just put some perk points into what you want to use alongside the Katana. If you want to use the Pistol a lot you're probably better off using Sandevistan instead of Berserk.
What armor set do you use??
how do you have that much stamina? It feels hard for me because of stamina
If you have the Perks I showed, air dash regens stamina, double jump + air dash regens even more stamina. Also, whilst Berserk is active you don't have to worry about stamina management.
can i switch the knives perks for the pistols to use La Chingona Dorada?
Yeah you can use whatever you want alongside the Katana.
Ha jokes on you I go straight to phantom liberty as soon as I can!
I need those weapons and cyberware my dude
What’s the best way to get a 5++ katana?
You would have to farm it as a drop, or you can spawn it in with Cyber Engine Tweaks.
What attributes should you focus on first?
I would go into reflexes first for the dash and katana perks, then either Body or Technical Ability.
@@EnvenomYT thanks man!!
Can I respec to netrunner later down the track or is it not worth it? I’m still stuck on what build to use!!

Im running this game on ps4, is that why the skill trees look different cuz im not seeing most of the options your suggesting
Yep, last gen consoles didn't get the 2.0 update.
@@EnvenomYT time to spend 500$😪
when i finish the game . who is there left to fight the city is empty walk around for ages to find enemies . do i just go around fighting ncpds !
With mods or without?
Don't need mods for this build.
my byakko katana is tier 5, how do you make it tier 5++??
You just have to upgrade it two more times
I’m confused about the perks. Why do they look different?
Are you on previous gen console? Last gen consoles didn't get the 2.0 update.
@EnvenomYT is ps5 last gen

How does this build function with the militech version of this i got it from adam smasher i think
You mean Militech Berserk? I haven't tried it but BioDyne Berserk is pretty easy to get.
It basicly is like bio but it doesnt make you lose hp i think @@EnvenomYT
@@EnvenomYT I can't Biodyne for the life of me, it's kinda frustrating..
My reflexes are different. It doesn’t give me the option to choose dash

how can i get the 5++ regular katana ?
buy regular one from any dealer and upgrade it
Why do I have less perk points at level 60??
You can find Perk Shards to give extra perk points

Wonder what makes you think so
It certainly does
What exactly do you think it counts towards then? Slapping people?!
All these builds are bogus... Your game is modded.
