Remnant from the Ashes: Build guide - The Blood Hunter build vs Apocalypse bosses
541I would like to preface this video by first stating that while polished whetstone is indeed one of the best trinkets in the game, it is better suited for coop play. For solo play, other trinket and armor combos can out perform it in certain situations. These builds are for those who enjoy the theme of bleed and applying DOT's. Plus, the red hunter skin (widowmaker) fits the theme so well and looks awesome with the blue claws or sword.
Build 1:
Hunter set
Sawed-off - corrosive aura / hive cannon
Hunting rifle - hotshot / cold spear
Scar of the jungle god / hero's sword
Polished whetstone
Akari warband / ring of supremacy / ring of flawless beauty / hunter's band
Razorstone / pillar of stone / braided thorns
A great ranged build that is insanely accurate and perfect for targeting those weakspots. If the enemy is more grounded and easy to melee, use the sawed-off and claws version. If the enemy is far away use the hive cannon and hero's sword / razorstone version. Once you apply your bleed, start hitting those weakspots for big damage. I listed a numerous amount of rings that work well for this build. Akari warband is almost always the best damage ring but in some fights where you don't dodge much (Undying King), swap it out for another damage ring. Don't sleep on pillar of stone either. This ring pairs exceptionally well with the hunting rifle, making it extremely accurate and a weakspot hitting machine. Use cold spear over hotshot for enemies who are fire resistant.
Build 2:
Hunter set
Sawed-off - corrosive aura
Repulsor / shotgun - hotshot / cold spear
Scar of the jungle god
Polished whetstone
Akari warband / ring of supremacy / ring of flawless beauty / hunter's band / braided thorns / iskal hunter band
A close quarters bleed build. This one is capable of dishing out some serious burst damage. Go with the claws to apply bleed with this build since we will be in close quarters for the fight. Again, the rings listed are all great alternatives with akari warband and ring of supremacy almost always being the best damage combo. Flawless beauty is a great ring to use if you can prevent adds from spawning in the boss fight (Erfor) and always hit the boss's weakspot. Like pillar of stone is for the hunting rifle, the iskal hunter band is a nice utility ring that will tighten your spread and make you even more accurate.
Build 3:
Hunter set
Hive cannon
Chicago typewrite - hotshot / cold spear
Scar of the jungle god
Polished whetstone
Akari warband / ring of supremacy / ring of flawless beauty / hunter's band / braided thorns / iskal hunter band
More of a fun build. Iskal hunter's band and the 1 piece hunter bonus make the targeting reticle on the CT insanely small and ridiculously accurate. It become a laser beam. This is where the CT will edge out over the assault rifle in it's accuracy for targeting weakspots for some solid damage. Again use cold spear over hot shot for those enemies who have fire resistances.
