Cyberpunk 2077: A powerful Mantis Blade build

earthpressnews

Since a lot has changed in Cyberpunk 2077 with Update 2.0, players are once again looking for the best build options for their playstyle. A YouTuber has now dared to create a powerful mantis blade combo for strong and fast melee attacks. We introduce them to you.

Who is the build intended for? The new Cyberpunk 2077 build from YouTuber Corpheus gives you strong melee attacks with high one-shot potential. The combo is therefore primarily for players who want to get up close and personal with their opponents.

The build can also be used with a katana instead of mantis blades, but is not yet optimized for this.

What are Mantis Blades? Mantis Blades are a cyberware expansion for your V in Cyberpunk 2077. They are inserted into the hand slot, where you can also insert the Gorilla Arms or Monowire. These are two blades that extend from the forearms and function like the grippers of a praying mantis.

Cyberware

When it comes to cyberware, the YouTuber relies on high-end devices with a focus on increased armor, increased health, faster attack speed and melee bonuses.

  • Operating system: Militech “Apogee” Sandevistan
  • Face: Kiroshi look “Cockatrice” (iconic)
  • Hands: Nothing
  • Circulatory system: Blood pump, adrenaline booster, heal-on-kill (for the highest difficulty level)
  • Legs: Reinforced tendons
  • Integumentary system: Subdermal armor, chitin, carapace shell
  • Nervous system: Repulsor, synapse accelerator, stabber
  • Skeleton: Bionic joints, compact bone marrow, Rava Avis
  • Poor: Mantis blades (specification doesn’t matter)
  • Frontal cortex: Axolotl (Iconic), Personal Ice, Mechatronic Core

    • Important: Have the cyberware installed by a Ripperdoc in Dog Town to benefit from the new iconic items.

    Attributes

    You should level the following attributes.

  • Constitution: 20 (15 is enough if you can’t distribute more points)
  • Reflexes: 20
  • Technical ability: 20
  • Intelligence: 3
  • Coolness: 3

    • Editor’s tip: If you have two attribute points left, invest them in Intelligence and Coolness. From 4 points you can unlock the basic benefits of each attribute.

    Advantages

    With these advantages, the build becomes effective. For an overview, we have recreated the skills to be used via the official Cyberpunk character planner from CD Projekt Red.
