The thermal projectile launch system is amazing with the errata, literally guarantees crits by proccing burn. I like to hide behind cover to overcharge it, then pop a sandevistan and dash in to aim all of the shots and start going to town with the errata. Gives you a bunch of mitigation chance from pyromania too which is great for melee.

My first build when I came back for Phantom Liberty was a blades build with Scalpel as my main weapon and Apogee Sandevistan paired with it, but I used the Electric Projectile Launcher with it since it gave me a ranged attack to go with my blade build. It actually worked out really nicely. The blade aspect was the main idea and like 99% of my gameplay but there was times where having that projectile launcher came in clutch. I thought Mantis Blades would've been redundant since I already have a top notch bladed weapon, Monowire wasn't really a consideration since I wasn't building for crit hits from quickhacks, and Gorilla Arms again seemed redundant since I already had the close combat covered with the Scalpel. A+ build, highly recommended.

Honestly youre giving up more going for mantis blades if that one perk is all you get. With good movement swords can cover a lot of ground. Honestly, it doesn't need to go as far when you could just shoot from cover or out snipe a sniper with a throwing knife. And when it all boils down you are usually horded by the enemies. Gotta admit this is a nitpicking. There's 7 Iconic swords all synergizing with Cyberware(OS included), another weapon or a certain playstyle. I'll admit, what I've seen of most katana users has been no different from mantis blades users. Spam the hell out of attack, leap, repeat. With that said, there's still 6-8 different attacks can combo'd and use on many way for katanas while mantis blades leave no room for creative expression. There's even a blade that encourages using nonstandard attacks. It's cool you like mantis blades but that's no reason to downplay katanas.

To diffetentiate from Katanas, Mantis Blades should be more piercing instead of slicing, making your moves straight punches instead of hooks. This would give Mantis Blades a range advantage over katanas and possibly a chance to go through blocks.

Not sure anyone mentioned this, but I have to make a point for using Mantis Blades with the Berserk cyberware. If you get bored of a Sandy (its pretty OP after all, even on Very Hard) then one way to help improve your Berserk Mantis build's health regen and options is to spec into throwing knives. While ranged, throwing knives still count as melee weapons and get the bonuses from the Berserk cyberware, making them perfect for when you need to take someone out who's too far away for your leap or to regain health from a crit throw. I have a no-guns melee build that uses only mantis blades and throwing knives, and it's just this wild flurry of death. Bosses thwacked with a knife to the head also get blinded and poisoned, giving you a great opening to slice them up. The only caveat is that it can be difficult to aim the knives in Berserk. No crosshair means you have to be good at centering you enemies. But that too adds to the fun.

Great video overall, very helpful to me as a beginner to the game! I would question the use of the Proxishield on a mantis blade build. Even on very hard, the person in melee with you is almost never the one hurting you so reducing damage in melee isn't particularly useful imo. They're too busy being pummeled by you (especially with Sandevistan). Even if there are other melee attackers, they generally can't keep up with your movement speed meaning 95% of your dmg taken will be from ranged weapons. I like the pain editor for a 9% reduction in incoming damage that works on everything or the Chitin that increase armor by a huge amount and triple your health regen. Coupled with the few regen perks from body tree (which you should have on a melee build) you get such an insane resilience that you can stand there and let enemies hit you for a quite a bit before you actually die. In very hard though I think the pain editor is better cause the dmg spikes are just too big. Proxishield is probably still good when you know you're going into a melee boss fight.

Problem with Mantis blades is that they are just that, they are just blades, you can do the same stuff with a katana, only the lunge is kinda unique to them, but Katana's also getting a smaller version of Mantis lunge. Projectile launch system or gorilla arms don't require some unique build in order to function while monowire is so OP with netrunner builds, (and honestly still decent with non-netrunner builds, but haven't tried that atm). Mantis Blades should've gotten that wall cleave ability they had back in in the first Cyberpunk reveal, that would've made them a real cool movement tool.

Another awesome guide, thx. My favourite option with arms are combo attacks with edgerunners perk - guerrilla arms or projectile launcher both electrical also fire spec is good too if you use it same time with poison granades or contagion quick hack to make that combo exploding bonus to deal lot of area dmg, with projectile and poisen running on enemys often you can take or deal heavy dmg to enemys that are very close to each other.

with the way my build is shaping out, i already have the scalpel, and i’ve been leveling reflexes, cool, and technical, so i use pistols and katanas, i may just use the projectile launcher, considering scalpel, errata, and byakko outclass any mantis blades by a good amount, and projectile will just be a good backup for some extra damage.

Currently doing gorilla arms sandevistan. It is so unbelievably fun, especially with the relic perk. Hitting the sandevistan, throwing a bunch of punches to charge the relic perk, and then throwing one big punch is perhaps not as efficient as other builds, but goddamn is it fun. Plus it melts in 1v1 situations, so at least it's good there.

Honestly, I'd say that the gorilla arms are just flat out better then most of the blunt iconics. Consider: 20% attack speed early (From solo 15 I think), combined with the perks, let you hit the cap faster then any other weapons. It also means you don't need microrotors. It's also the best at single target damage, outright. Charged punch, finisher, then do it again. Either OS allows you to exploit this, though sandevistan wins out. Finally, you can slot the poison variant to proc Black Mamba for a free damage boost against hard targets. The only thing that holds a candle now is Cottonmouth. Which swings slower, and takes more stamina. What is the only drawback? Gorilla arms have shit range. That is...a paltry tradeoff.

mantis blades may be the worst but they are undeniably my favorite build in the game. Using the strong attacks to jump from enemy to enemy even if theyre really far away. And if Fury procs then you can feel like a real cyberpsycho

I love using the Mantis Blades, they’re really fun to use, yes, they’re not balanced especially against enemies that use either Mantis Blades or a katana, but it’s still really fun to use, I really like the inferno ones, they have a really nice red glow on the and I love how it sets people on fire after slashing them a few times, that’s just my opinion though

before 2.0 on my first run, i did a melee build. i omce slowed time and one shot a group of animlas one by one by exploding their heads with my gorilla arms and then after the time slow ended i just saw how the bodys hit the floor ome by one....they had no idea i was there. I think my next and fourth playthrough since 4.0 will be a melee build again, maybe with some shotguns. I'm very excited(and sor john phallusstiff is a must have!)

Gorilla Arms with shock and awe and pyromania can reach unkillable levels of tankiness because of the mitigation chance buff that you can get from the tech tree for having pyromania stacks. I legit don’t even need Berserk to tank MaxTac, although Berserk is my favorite Cyberware still

I primarily use a build of 20 cool 20 reflex 20 tech 18 body 3 int and spec knives doomlauncher edgerunner and air dash stamina perk. it plays fantastic but it is a bit squishy. with an apogee and gag order perk you can easily evade detection nearly forever and once youre finally caught a sande and an adreno trigger will allow you to very quickly clean up even very large groups. the launcher helps primarily with large groups of robots or mechs in general. i prefer the electric launcher and when doing don't fear the reaper for example, there are moments when maybe 9 - 10 robots will spawn out of a door, one rocket will kill all of them which is tremendously more efficient than trying to get 9-10 headshots, as well you can spec into last stand and the other health perk which make the final use stronger. with the ability to activate camo on command by using crouch run its honestly not THAT much of a hit to put the launcher as one of your interactables. the only thing is sometimes i will swap in the camo because the relic perk for the camo only activates when you actually have it bound, not through the perk sadly, but other than that there are few downsides imo. the build can be a bit slow to get going until you are able to get juggler, but it is a ton of fun. probably the nicest part of the build is you can just disassemble all guns, never have to craft ammo, and you are gifted an iconic, nehan, now during the heist. its also worth mentioning that you can charge up the launcher for relic perk, then activate you sande and it will let you fire all 5 shots in slow mo, but if you enter sande and try to charge up it won't let you fire 5 without exiting the sandevistan first.

The great thing about single player games is that you can make anything work. Mantis blades might be the shittiest but that doesn’t mean they’re unusable- after all there is no such thing as suboptimal off meta build when there isn’t a meta to whore for (online play). In single player games it’s all about what you find fun and cool to play with- you don’t have to go for the best since you won’t be competing with sweat jobs for the top position on the leaderboard. Just chill and enjoy the thematic and speedy power fantasy of the mantis blades. I love single player games

I know mods aren't considered here, but I really want a mod to have both gorilla arms and projectile launch system at the same time. The ideal build would be berserk-gorilla arms with doomlauncher to cover and rack up charge in between berserks. And considering the cyberware capacity costs, I don't even think it'd be overpowered compared to filling out that space with extra armor and the like.

for the launcher... i found that using blood pump and biomonitor to solve the "can't use items" issue. and some perks from the middle body tree. i use a more general build. with my body at 20, cool at 20, intellect at 15 (really just to boost the return on ram and get some other options), 15 in tech (i don't use any of the legend perks). most of my weapons are throwing weapons with a silenced pistol (that i can switch out for a shotgun or other heavy hitting item depending on the need) the goal was to keep getting returns on the blood pump and arm launcher while getting as much damage mitigation and keeping myself as mobile as i can. i don't know how good it would be in harder modes, but feels like as long as i am not one shot... i can tank through most fights. as for the arms... i can't think of a way to make them better without making them op. i think i might use the toxic version with a throwing weapon build to spread poison around and end them with knives

My build is weird but mad fun. I wanted a gun and blade build, but I threw in quickhacks pretty early on because they looked cool. Mainly I use Smarts SMG’s in combo with Overclock and at least two hacks on my enemy to get the damage bonus. I didn’t find it necessary to get Queue Mastery though because I mostly use quickhacks just to stun or quickly kill distant enemies so I don’t die immediately. I also specked into blades in the early game when I was still figuring thing out. But I was too stubborn to drop that investment for Monowire. So now I also use Mantis Blades kind of as an alternative way to play. So I can go either Overclock and Smartguns, or Mantis Blades with displacement quickhacks. It’s a very weird and expensive glass cannon build. But it’s very versatile and just puts a giddy smile on my face when I tear through a building of enemies with a variety of tools like some Swiss Army cyborg. Though I’m unsure of its effectiveness on Very Hard as I only just got the courage to turn it on after Hard got WAY too easy.

I was running a throwing blades, mantis, and sandevistan build recently, then just swapped the mantis for toxic gorillas to do the beat on the brat quests. When I faced Razor, (on normal difficulty) he went down in 7 hits. I think there may be a glitch or something that made the Accelerated Toxin Absorption work with the toxic gorilla arms, because I think beat through about half his health, then *bam* suddenly the fight was over. I noticed similar things with a few other enemies where I did a little damage then suddenly they went down. Maybe I was distracted trying to land hits, or maybe there's something to that? Anyways, I did not investigate further.
