Gameplay Info
This build focuses around summoning high dps/burst summons to support the player in the battlefield, while the player compliments the summons with precision firepower. The main class is unimportant, with the Engineers Overclock and turret manual targeting being better in boss fights, and the Summoners Ruthless providing higher value exploration speed and Sacrifice providing incredibly high burst damage. Survivability is high due to Summoners Regen, Engineers Fortify, and up to three extra targets on the field. Build will also scale very well without any great need of any scrap or upgrade materials, any weapons mods, or any specific gear.
Starting class is preference, summons are more useful early and Regen is great, but Engineer starts with two of the best guns in the game.
- 1st Archetype: Summoner/Engineer
- 2nd Archetype: Engineer/Summoner
- Skill: Summoner will take the Flyers or Reaver skill, there are too many flying enemies in two worlds for Hollows and you need your summons to live for the skill damage increase. Engineer can take any Heavy weapon that they prefer to suit the situation, though the flamethrower will hit the Reaver.
- Traits: Expertise is to be maxed out as soon as possible.
Equipment
- Long Gun: Any weapon except for high spread shotguns and AOE damage weapons. Summons will die very fast if shot by the player late game.
- Hand Gun: Same as above, avoid AOE damage weapons.
- Melee Weapon: Any (Turret Friendly fires, so melee is discouraged)
- Head Armor: Any (Your dodge is replaced while carrying Heavy Weapons, so heavy armor is an option)
- Body Armor: Any
- Gloves: Any
- Leg Armor: Any
- Amulet: Prioritize Amulets that boost skill damage, the best being the Silver Ribbon.
- Rings: Prioritize Rings that boost Skill damage, Skill cooldown, Crit, and Weakpoint damage. Burden of the Destroyer, Burden of the Rebel, Soul Guard, Soul Link, Zania’s Malice, and Stone of Balance are stand outs.
Gameplay Info
A very glass canon kind of build, though I believe it has some of the highest single target damage in the game. Late Game boss killing build. Play by consistently hitting Weakspots to permanently keep you're Hunter Shroud skill up while occasionally getting big damage with the wormhole skill. Weakspot hits will apply bleed with the Twisting Wounds Mutator at level 10. This build should shred through bosses in the late game assuming you can consistently hit their Weakspot.
- 1st Archetype: Hunter
- 2nd Archetype: Invader
- Skill: Hunter's Shroud - Worm Hole
- Traits: Expertise is a must-have. Everything else is more so up to player preference
Equipment
- Long Gun: Widowmaker - needs the Twisting Wounds mutator to be level 10 for bleed proc on critical hits - Corrosive Rounds as your weapon mod for extra crit chance
- Hand Gun: MP60-R with the Time Lapse mod for mobbing
- Melee Weapon: Player preference - I like the Assassin's Dagger for extra bleed affinity
- Head Armor: Any
- Body Armor: Any
- Gloves: Any
- Leg Armor: Any
- Amulet: Abrasive Whetstone
Gameplay Info
This is a moderate damage build with life steal and high resistance due to high bulwark stacks and heavy armor. Use the Engineer’s heavy weapon and the ranged attacks of the Summoner’s Flyers to proct life steal from the soul link ring. Constant health regen from regrowth, pair with Anastasia’s inspiration ring for constant haste (7% increase speed on ALL player actions.) Three stacks of bulwark provided by the Soul Guard ring when all summons are in place. Last ring can be either Guardian’s Ring for the constant one stack of Bulwark when close range (7m) of an enemy, or Hardcore Metal Band for the potential of Five stacks of Bulwark with the trade off of taking damage to trigger it’s effects. Maxed out challengers archetype will grant Strong Back, granting reduced encumbrance by 10, opening up heavier armor to capitalize on Engineer’s Fortify (50% increased armor effectiveness.) Strong Back is optional as long as Navigator’s Pendent is used. Weapons can be whatever fits your play style. Note that staying close to the Engineer’s heavy weapon will grant 15% damage reduction.

Gameplay Info
Healing in remnant II is primarily focused around passively healing yourself and in turn, healing your allies. Primarily this comes from mods and rings, with Relics and Amulets making up for the weaknessess and flaws in the builds. Below are presented three seperate builds, all focused around healing but all slightly different in playstyle. The basics remain the same while the playstyles differ.
The Basics
Largely the basics of this build are focused around the Handlers Bonded Prime Perk and the support provided by the medic class. Alongside the Medic's Healing Shield and the Handler's Guard Dog or Support Dog this build makes for a potent support combination for both you and your allies, keeping you all healthy and in the fight.
The handler brings Increased movement speed and reduced stamina cost for you and your allies with Spirit of the Wolf, keeping you nimble and out of danger. Combining the Handler's Perk Teamwork and the Medic's Perk Benefactor allows for easy healing and Reviving of fallen allies when needed, largely you want to rely on Bonded to Revive allies if it can be helped but in cases where it's on cooldown both of these Perks prove immeasurably useful. The Medic's sheer healing output with it's Perk Benevolence and its three skill choices Wellspring, Healing Shield and Redemption are hard to pass by for anyone looking to support their team. Predominantly you should spend most of your time using either Healing Shield of Redemption rather than Wellspring, mostly it comes down to the survivability of yourself and your allies; if you find yourselves struggling to stay alive during particular hard combat Redemeption may be the better choice for you over Healing Shield. Likewise, in most boss encounters you will find better use from Support Dog than Guard Dog due to threat generation, most boss encounters will ignore Guard Dog preferring to instead target a player due to their larger threat generation. In this case Support Dog is better value especially since it may be commanded to follow other players ensuring they get large boosts of health regenration when they need it.
- 1st Archetype: Handler
- 2nd Archetype: Medic
- Skill: Support Dog | Healing Shield
- Traits:
- Core Traits
- Archetype Traits

Equipment
Loadout 1 - Active Healer
This Build is Focused primarily around having to actively work to keep both yourself, and your allies healthy. Anyone looking to play a largely more active part in monitoring the situation would enjoy this loadout. This loadout utilises constant weapon switching to take advantage of mod generation. With this loadout the idea is to generate mod power through healing for whichever weapon is stowed.
- Long Gun: Crescent Moon | XMG57 Bonesaw - The Crescent Moon is a great healing tool, its mod paired with the Burden of the Divine allows you to almost always be passively healing both yourself and your allies. When you activate the mod you want to try to make sure you have the mod on your Handgun used so you arent wasting mod charge as the Dense Silicon Ring will turn any healing from this into Mod Power. Until you are able to aquire the Crescent Moon using the XMG57 Bonesaw with Overflow will suffice.
- Long Gun Mod: Moonlight Barrage | Overflow
- HandGun: Sorrow - Similar to the Crescent Moon, Sorrow is basically a smaller version.
- HandGun Mod: Eulogy
- Melee Weapon: Red Doe Staff - More healing that is cheap and easy to use.
- Head Armour: Elder Headdress - The Elder Set is light and provides good resistance , but is not so heavy as to leave you vulnerable.
- Body Armour:Elder Raiment
- Gloves:Elder Gloves
- Leg Armour:Elder Leggings
- Relic:Void Heart - A great general use Relic and really comes in clutch during emergencies , will save you in tough situations and win fights.
- Amulet:Cleansing Stone | Emergency Switch - The Cleansing Stone is a great support amulet allowing you to cleanse annoying status effects from allies when needed while also healing them when you use a Relic, combined with the Void heart this should be an almost full heal at any time for your allies. Alternatively if you feel like your allies are dealing with their own status effects fine, or you find yourself running out of Relic uses or dying often the Emergency Switch is a great alternative.
- Rings:
- Burden of the Divine - Regardless of build this ring is a staple if you're looking to fill a healing roll, in reducing your damage it lowers your threat generation and allows you to heal allies with any healing you apply to yourself, the bread and butter of any healing oriented build.
- Dense Silicon Ring - Any healing you recieve comes back to you as mod power , this allows you to keep popping your mods and gives you more sustain outside of relic use.
- Ring of Grace - More survivability and another means to keep those mods up and running in turn keeping you and your team alive.
- Archer's Crest - As great as Crescent moon may be it can be clunky at times, this ring helps reduce that feeling and makes using the weapon overall far more pleasant.
Loadout 2 - Passive Heal Generation
The set and forget build, this build can be midly annoying to get off the ground due to its basic function requiring Tranquil Heart and Nimue's Ribbon but once you have that set in place unless you find yourself or your allies taking large amounts of damage you will mostly not need to worry about actively healing again. There are options here to increase the healing with this build if you find that the above mentioned aren't quite doing the job but otherwise this build is quite flexible due to not relying on a specific Long Gun, Handgun or Melee Weapon.
- Long Gun: Crescent Moon | Any Long Gun - Crescent Moon is great healing tool but not necessary for this build, if you feel like the combination of the Tranquil Heart and Nimue's Ribbon isn't doing enough healing for you , using Crescent moon will give you the extra bit of sustain you may be lacking, otherwise any Long Gun you prefer is fine since it's not important for this build.
- Long Gun Mod:Moonlight Barrage
- HandGun:Sorrow | Any HandGun - Similar to the Crescent Moon, Sorrow will add more sustain if you aren't able to stay alive with the passive regeneration , otherwise anyHandGun of your choice will do since its not important to the build.
- HandGun Mod:Eulogy
- Melee Weapon:Red Doe Staff - Easy and cost effective healing but similar to the Long Gun and HandGun, if you find that the combination of the Tranquil Heart and Nimue's Ribbon is enough any Melee Weapon you prefer will do.
- Head Armour: Elder Headdress - The Elder Set is light and provides good resistance , but is not so heavy as to leave you vulnerable.
- Body Armour: Elder Raiment
- Gloves: Elder Gloves
- Leg Armour: Elder Leggings
- Relic:Tranquil Heart - The focus of this build, with this you should largely not have to worry about actively healing and it should be enough to keep your team alive in conjunction with Nimue's Ribbon.
- Amulet:Nimue's Ribbon - This combined with the Tranquil Heart Relic gives completely ridiculous passive regeneration to both you and your team and allows you to essentially set and forget except for times of extreme damage.
- Rings:
- Burden of the Divine - Regardless of build this ring is a staple if you're looking to fill a healing roll, in reducing your damage it lowers your threat generation and allows you to heal allies with any healing you apply to yourself, the bread and butter of any healing oriented build.
- Dense Silicon Ring - Any healing you recieve comes back to you as mod power , this allows you to keep popping your mods and gives you more sustain outside of relic use, especially potent in this build where you have near constant heal rengeneration.
- Ring of Grace - More survivability and another means to keep those mods up and running in turn keeping you and your team alive.
- Ring of the Forest Spirit | Any Ring - If you find you need more rengeration the Ring of the Forest Spirit will enhance the effects of the Tranquil Heart, otherwise any Ring of your own preference will do.
Loadout 3 - Mod Generation
This Build is mainly focused around dealing damage to generate mod power and sustaining your allies through your mods , relics and rings. This build is a little more actively damaging than the other two discussed here, people looking for a larger damage focus will enjoy this build. Largely its focused around always trying to mainting two Healing shot charges, if you at any time do not have Healing shot charges you should be using your Tech 22 to kill and damage enemies until you gain charges.
- Long Gun: XMG57 Bonesaw - A great versatile weapon, its overheat is easy enough to manage and it generates mod power relatively quickly due to its firerate alongside being a decently powerful weapon.
- Long Gun Mod: Overflow - This is a perfect pair with the XMG57 Bonesaw, it enhances it in everyway it needs and allows you to put out some decent damage, can also be used to charge your mod on your Handgun.
- HandGun: Tech 22 - Similar to the XMG57 Bonesaw, the Tech 22 is great at mod generation due to its high firerate and damage allowing you to throw out Healing shots in a fight to sustain your allies when you need too.
- HandGun Mod: Healing Shot - Just an all around useful mod that charges quickly and is available from the start of the game. It can be crafted with the Root Ganglia that you gain from the first boss in the tutorial.
- Melee Weapon: Labyrinth Staff - Generates mod power with melee attacks , also acts as great wave clear due to its aoe attack.
- Head Armor: Elder Headress - The Elder Set is light and provides good resistance , but is not so heavy as to leave you vulnerable.
- Body Armor: Elder Raiment
- Gloves: Elder Gloves
- Leg Armor: Elder Leggings
- Relic: Ruined Heart - The mods used in this build, especially Overflow require huge amounts of Mod Power so being able to quickly generator large amounts of mod power when you need it comes in clutch when you need it.
- Amulet: Emergency Switch - Due to the Slightly more fragile nature of this loadout I would recommend running the Emergency Switch as this also works with the Handlers Dog companion perk , Bonded allowing you to be freely revived.
- Rings:
- Burden of the Divine - Reduces your damage and consequently threat generation it allows you to heal allies with any healing you apply to yourself, the bread and butter of this build.
- Dense Silicon Ring - Any healing you recieved comes back to you as mod power also, this allows you to keep popping your mods and gives you more sustain outside of relic use.
- Ring of Grace - More survivability , theoretically this should allow you to heal from any damage you take and also turn that damage back into mod power.
- Cataloger's Jewel - To help build this mods quickly since they require a large amount of mod power.

Gameplay Info
The Flamethrower Rampage build thrives in close quarters by hosing down enemies with high fire rate and burning status effects in order to deliver as much elemental damage over time as possible.
Keeping in close range allows you to benefit from the archetype bonuses from Challenger while being in optimum range for your flamethrower or hellfire handgun, allowing you to swap between them easily when ammo runs dry. Having a long gun equipped with Hot Shot also increases damage output at a distance, allowing you apply burning on enemies outside of your ideal range. Smolder is a handy backup in melee if your weapons run dry and you want to keep on the pressure and maintain that burning status.
Your amulet and rings helps maximise rampage uptime, fire damage, and burning duration, and your traits help offset many of the demands of this setup. Armor should primarily focus on protection and fire resistance, so the bruiser set is ideal, but utilising elder headdress (or crown of the red prince if you can get it) and labyrinth gauntlets maximise your fire resistance while keeping your encumbarance below 51. This is to ensure your own burning patches don't hurt you too much, and you can still get in and out of melee range comfortably.
The crystal heart will help endure a lot of the aggro you'll likely attract, and the slow down effect can be avoided by carrying your heavy weapon, or partially mitigated with Rampage. Slotting the relic with Fire Rate, Elemental Damage and Skill Duration also helps increase the build's overall performance

Use Void Cloak and take advantage of the fact that you'll dodge automatically to stand still, use Hunter's Shroud for more damage, aim exactly on the boss weak point, and shoot charged shots until your Void Cloak runs out.

Gameplay Info
Firestorm Galore
I love using mods constantly so this build is based on constantly having 2 mods up the entire time. Weapons can be swapped from my personal favorites but I use standard weapons. I'm Stacking alot of mod regen between the rings, mutations, and class. I have been able to keep 2-3 Firestorms at once during a boss fight to keep sustained damage and even ad clear. Also keeping hotshot charged up and with the Chicago typewriter and dps bonus between the Gunslinger's passive, Skill, and charm you can keep firing extremely fast with those fire rounds. Keep in mind the purpose of Kinship is to keep yourself and your allies allys alive as Firestorm has a massive AoE with the buff from Amplitude. If you don't like these mods and weapons swap them out for others the regen will work with any elemental damage mod

- Heart of the Wolf if you'd prefer to throw more Axes and Spears before running out of stamina, and if you'd prefer to move faster
- Assassin's Seal for more damage at a range (If using the Hunter's Shroud skill and Stalker's Brand)
- Slayer's Crest for more damage at a range (If using the Hunter's Shroud skill)
- Stone of Balance for slightly more damage with everything
- Stone of Malevolence for increased mod power regen (With Krell Axe)
- Dense Silicon Ring for increased mod power regen (If using Dying Ember and/or Decayed Margin)
- Berserker's Crest if you'd prefer to throw more Axes and Spears before running out of stamina, faster
- Any other rings I would list here are purely QOL rings, such as the Vacuum Seal for auto resource and scrap pickup
Gameplay Info
Looking to play with mod power? Tired of swapping builds to level archetypes? Want to blow stuff up? Then Detonation Trigger is for you! This build uses explosive mods like Tremor and Song of Eafir boosted by the titular amulet Detonation Trigger to set up huge areas of crowd control thanks to Amplitude, apply dots, or blow up enemies (and sometimes friends, but fewer than you might think!). The build is very flexible due to the amazing support provided by some of the mods. It has to resort to basic gunplay on some aerial bosses, but it is excellent at clearing entire maps of enemies at little to no risk.
Instead of requiring a specific archetype, this build finds ways to take advantage of whatever you decide to run. Some are obviously better than others, but it tends to work fine even with suboptimal setups due to the amount of crowd control being laid down.
- The Obvious Choice - Archon: It's a mod build, and unsurprisingly it really starts to pick up damage when paired with the Archon archetype. Notably, the mod generation from Archon's primary perk is often overkill for many of the mods, especially ones with duration and cc like Tremor or Song of Eafir. Put this in the secondary slot in those cases and pick an archetype with the primary perk and damage boosts of your choice.
- Support - Medic & Alchemist: Both the Alchemist and the Medic have generic damage increases and good traits that support the build in a lot of ways. Either works well, especially when paired with or before unlocking the Archon class. Alchemist is best saved for the post-game after you have some scrap saved up, where the movement speed and defensive concoctions can stack to great effect.
- Gunplay - Hunter & Gunslinger: This build relies on its long gun for supplementary damage, especially on flying bosses, and swapping to either half of HUGS (Hunter/Gunslinger) uses the mods more for support while pumping damage into your gunplay. You're sacrificing damage for utility, but the permaslow from Song of Eafir and permastagger from Tremor make this a safer and more supportive variant of traditional gun builds.
- Others: Feel free to experiment! With just Archon at 10 I was able to level most of my traits quickly thanks to the aoe damage and running through zones.
Sample Build - Spirited Thaumaturge (Alchemist/Archon)
- 1st Archetype: Alchemist (Concoctions: Mudtooth's Tonic, Dark Cider, Chilled Steam, and Bark Extract. Always swap one out for Mudtooth's Elixir when leveling!)
- 2nd Archetype: Archon
- Skill: Elixir of Life + Chaos Gate
- Traits: 10 Fortify, 10 Swiftness, 10 Vigor, 1 Strong Back, 10 Footwork, 10 Barkskin, rest split as wanted between Amplitude and Siphoner.
- Mods: Tremor + Song of Eafir
Sample Build - Tempest Invoker (Archon/Summoner)
Equipment
This equipment is for the Spirited Thaumaturge (Alchemist/Archon). Your archetype will change this, so don't be afraid to swap out rings and weapons as needed!
- Long Gun: Royal Hunting Bow provides reliable mod generation and solid damage for minimal investment through Supercharger. Song of Eafir and other mods that don't have stacks work most smoothly. That said, find your favorite basic weapon; you'll be using it a lot. Anything that hits hard or fast enough to generate good mod power will work.
- Hand Gun: Rupture Cannon with Tremor and either Feedback or Harmonizer. Our AoE damage is so high that Enigma isn't really necessary, so instead we bring whichever of our favorite side arms we want. If you want to use a special weapon, both Meridian and Starshot synergize fantastically with the build, but their huge AoE will almost certainly get you, your summons, and your friends killed with friendly fire. Use with caution!
- Melee Weapon: Your favorite melee weapon. Dreamcatcher is notable for the damage boost and guaranteeing 100% uptime on slows, and Smolder is thematic even if we don't stack burning damage.
- Head Armor:Leto Mark II
- Body Armor: Technician (With 1 point in Strong Back we can get to 75 encumbrance for a heavy dodge instead of a flop)
- Gloves: Leto Mark II
- Leg Armor: Leto Mark II
- Amulet: Detonation Trigger
- Rings: Archer's Crest powers up our bow and by proxy our mod generation and Burden of the Follower solves most of our mod power generation. Otherwise just standard good stuff like Black Cat Band.
Basic Mods
- Tremor: Staggers everything in a hilarious range thanks to Amplitude. Does not do a lot of damage, but notably does very consistent damage to ground targets, bypassing shields and armor with both the initial hits and the resulting dot.
- Song of Eafir: Slows everything in a large radius thanks to Amplitude. Good against air (but make sure you aim!).
- Helix: For aerial bosses I swap out Tremor for Helix. It's not good (bow shots are more consistent and higher damage at weakpoints), but like many mods it bypasses grey damage so is great for getting the damage and dot on bosses during what would otherwise be downtime.
- Spacecrabs: Spicy popcorn, annoying to summon but great damage, especially when paired with Summoner.
Special Weapons
- Starshot: This weapon will get you killed. That said, a fully charged Big Bang will clear an entire room in one shot if you can get far enough away from it. Its regular fire is a mixed blessing, as the AoE has no damage dropoff and is great against bosses and trash alike, but its impossible to use the weapon in close range without murdering yourself.
- Meridian: Similar to but slightly worse than the Starshot, Meridian's best trait is its spammable mod once you get your mod generation going.

AnonymousI was playing with friends and came across an interesting synergy build. This is something that when playing multiplayer with friends who don't always get evasion right, can provide superior DPS when compared to a tank build with everyone because evasion is not stable, and provides far more stability, although the firepower is severely inferior to a party with a DPS build!
To put it succinctly, it is a combination of one regen share build that specializes in physical strength and regen, and the rest of the friends who are equipped with amulets and rings that specialize in half health and whose archetype is specialized in attack. (The advantage of this combination of archetypes specialized in attack is that you can freely choose the main and sub archetypes depending on how you want to fight.)
The healer role endures with increased strength and defense.
A configuration that specializes in the half-life of the attacker role can take more damage than a normal build, even without any synergy with friends. And the half strength means that the shared recovery is effectively doubled, meaning that the recovery shared by [Burden of the Divine] is half that of the wearer, which is effectively like a 100% share. The reduction is not as high as tank specialization, but it can still be taken care of, and the speed of recovery after being taken care of is close to regen specialization, and the archetype can be specialized for attack, so it does much more damage than when we all use tank builds.
Let me also explain a little more about the healer role structure.
I think the combo of [Crescent Moon], [Tightly Wound Coil] and [Generating Band] is quite interesting. The [Tightly Wound Coil] can be instantly triggered with an uncharged shot if you are using a bow. And since you can maintain the shield just by shooting, it is easy to maintain the shield in firepower intensive time or not, and it is easy to maintain the 3% share of [Generating Band]. [Crescent Moon] has a heal effect, and this mod has a good turnover rate with [Faerin's Sigil] without specializing in generation. And if handled properly during the mod, it has high DPS (well, the heal role is not as good as it could be, since it is cutting down on firepower skills significantly, but you should still be able to do as much damage as you can produce). The archetypes are using an alchemist and a medic. Not to mention heal support for the medic. The alchemist is,
Concoction stacking to increase his own strength and reinforce his toughness, while taking advantage of consumable item sharing to share buff consumables with his allies. However, there may be room to change this alchemist part to something else in terms of ideas or some synergy. The rest is as per the regen builds I've seen, with the Relic being Tranquil Heart and whatnot, and the Traits. Lastly, I'm not a good English speaker, so sorry if there are any inaccuracies in my writing. I don't have space in my native language wiki to talk about the builds.

I created a build and thought it could be worth sharing here if some people are having trouble finding a way to fulfuil their dream of infinite abilities. The only issues with this build is that you need to beat apocalypse mode first in order to get the devoured loop ring. This build focuses on getting as many critical hits as possible.
Architypes: Archon/summoner. Kinda interchangable though
Amulet: Hypconductor
Rings: Devoured loop/ probability cord/ burden of the gambler/ akari war band. I would say the only required ring is devoured though. The others are just to add a bit more crit chance
Long gun: Plasma cutter with the momentum mutator(REQUIRED)
Hand gun: The two choices I like the most are the nebula and the enigma since you can fire out the mods on the weapon to get passive critical hits.
Armor: doesn't matter
Traits: Siphon/ vigor/ stamina/ mod reduction/ rugged/ ammo reserves. This is pretty flexible too though.
This build can definitely be refined and improved so give me your suggestions.

The Infinite Active/Passive Healer Build. Party Regen is unmatched to anything else.
1st Archetype: Medic/Anything
2nd Archetype: Anything/Medic
Skill: Preference / Healing Shield for more regen, Redemption for carrying ya dead buddies across Anni's face
Traits: [Triage & Preferred Class Trait], Glutton, and anything you prefer (I run Fortify, Barkskin, Vigor, Spirit, Expertise)
Long Gun: Any
Hand Gun: Any
Melee Weapon: Any
Armor: Any
Amulet: Nimue's Ribbon / Red Doe Sigil. Your preference.
Rings:
Ring of the Forest Spirit - Not necessary and can be swapped if heals aren't as fast/much.
Celerity Stone - Relic Use Speed for faster relic... use.
Fae Shaman Ring - Same as above
Burden of the Divine - For when Medic's Team Perk is too far for your teammates. Can be swapped if solo.
Relic: Resonating Heart - 20s doubled regen based on overhealed HP... The key to the build.
https://i.imgur.com/HyDf79P.jpeg
The relic speed is needed so you can save your mates or get out of sticky situations asap. Resonating Heart will sit there and regen everything back immediately and constantly for 20s. If you find yourself running out of relics too fast from carrying ya mates so much or just getting hit too much, can swap the amulet for Emergency Switch or use other Relic Charge % items like Power Saver, Conservation Seal, Kuri Kuri Charm, or Tear of Kaeula. Another scenario is when you're in Multiplayer and still running out of Relics. Swap main class to Medic and get those free relic charges from heals.
Enjoy.

While I have no problem using an evasive build to play solo, when I join and play in multiplayer, the evasive build has become a hindrance. While there are many games that can be avoided even with line lag as long as you don't warp, remnant2's multiplayer is the type where input reflection is also delayed when there is lag, so it is easy to fail to avoid even with a steady lag (a strange term). It seems that to play as a participant in Apocalypse, you need to withstand one attack even if you don't intend to be a tank. But what build can withstand the high-powered attacks of Annihilation in Apocalypse difficulty with enhanced power in multiplayer...

Tanky Solo Apocalypse Build after DR fixes
This was the Build I used to get my first Annihilation kill on Apocalypse and it served me very well. The Hunter Primary provides plenty of damage so that you can spend the rest of the build on survivability. This build does this by reaching 80% DR, then investing the rest of the build in the highest possible amount of max HP combined with the useful max HP scaling on Generating Band. You will still have to dodge a lot as there is no way to tank everything after the DR fixes. However, this build allows you to recover from mistakes very quickly, provided that you don't mess up again within the same or the beginning of the next pattern.
Primary Archetype: Hunter
Secondary Archetype: Medic
Skills: Hunter's Shroud + Healing Shield
Traits: Fortify 10, Longshot 10, Regrowth 8, Swiftness 10, Triage 10, Untouchable 10, Vigor 10, Endurance 10, Barkskin 10
Long Gun: Coach Gun |Mod: Corrosive Rounds or Hot Shot for Bosses, Stasis Beam for Elites | Mutator: Extender
or: Crescent Moon | Mutator: Slayer
Hand Gun: Enigma | Mutator: Bandit
or: MP60-R | Mod: Corrosive Rounds | Mutator: Refunder
Melee Weapon: Huntress Spear, Krell Axe or World's Edge | Mutator: Transference
Head Armor: Leto Mark II Helmet
Body Armor: Leto Mark II Armor
Leg Armor: Leto Mark II Leggings
Glove Armor: Labyrinth Gauntlets
Relic: Shielded Heart | Health, Damage Reduction, Healing Effectiveness (if your Damage Reduction Relic Piece is not high enough to let you reach 80% DR, consider using Armor Effectiveness instead of Healing Effectiveness)
Amulet: Navigator's Pendant
Rings: Fae Protector Signet, Seal of the Empress, Rerouting Cable, Generating Band
Use Mudtooth's Tonic.
Activate Hunter's Shroud on combat start. You will be able to keep it up for the entire fight against bosses with easily accessible Weak Points.
Use Enigma if you need group clear or MP60-R with Refunder if you want to save some scrap on Ammo Boxes.
When you get hit, use a dodge roll to activate Rerouting Cable in order to start getting your health back with Generating Band.
When very low or in anticipation of a difficult pattern, use Healing Shield or Shielded Heart.
Who needs a gun anyway?
1st Archetype: Challenger
2nd Archetype: Invader or Medic
Skills: Juggernaut + WormHole
(Void Clock, Wellspring & Healing Shield also work as safety net options if you're not confident about survival with is build)
Traits: Footwork (thank me later), Endurance & Expertise are vital other traits are up to you
(my full trait build for this is; Footwork, Endurance, Expertise, Vigor, Barkskin, Triage & Recovery)
Long Gun: Player choice (Though really if you want to be a gamer don't use a gun for this)
Hand Gun: Player choice (read above ^^^)
Melee Weapon: Huntress Spear (This is the best option however Krell Axe is a good alternative)
Mutator:
Amulet: Matriarch's Insignia
Rings: Fae Warrior Ring, Haymaker's Ring, Burden of the Destroyer & Bersker's Crest
Stone of Balance and Visage of Power are good alternatives for the build early into the game
Helmet: Radiant Visage
Body Armour: Radiant Protector
Leg Armour: Radiant Greaves
Glove Armour: Radiant Bracers
(Any armour combination that gets the character to >50 weight is perfect & if you are happy to flop then run Leto's for max damage)
Really just go ham throwing spears (or axes) at your foes oh and see if you can catch a weakspot or 2 you'll get a pleasant surprise at the numbers you'll see

zoomies build
When you have wiped a map and you wanna run around looting, you really need this build!
1st archetype: Explorer/Handler
2nd archetype: Handler/Explorer
Skills: Plainswalker/Support Dog
Traits: Expertise//Wayfarer (averything else is your preference)
Long gun: ANY
Hand gun: ANY
Melee weapon: ANY
Head armor: Leto MK1
Body armor: Leto MK1
Gloves: Leto MK1
Leg armor: Leto MK1
Amulet: Weightless Weight
Rings: Heart of the Wolf/Momentum Driver/Deceiver's Band/ANY(I use Bright Steel Ring)
it can have up to 150.6% bonus speed
So, this build is not the most practical build ever, but is sure as hell is funny to play, I call it FSPAM :D
The general idea of this build is to generate as much mod power as humanly possible and spam the F key :D
Archetype = Archon/Summoner
Skills = Chaos Gate/Flyers
Armor = Any, I use Labyrinth set atm.
Relic = Reprocessed - Grey Health Rate, Mod Duration, Mod Cost.
Amulet = Necklace of Flowing Life
Rings = Burden of the Warlock, Dread Font, Stone of Malevolence, Dense Silicon Ring.
Long Gun = Chicago Typewriter
Mod = Familiar
Mutator = Feedback
Handgun = Nebula
Mod = Nano Swarm
Mutator = Harmonizer
Melee = Labyrinth Staff
Mutator = Transference
Traits = Flash Caster+Regrowth 10, Kinship 10, Rugged 10, Spirit 10 , Bloodstream 10, Siphoner 10, Vigor 10 , Triage 9, Endurance 1.
I also use a Sacred Lakewater concoction.
So, use Chaos Gate whenever its up, Keep Flyers alive or resumon when possible. Use Nano Swarm then Familiar then Nano Swarm then Familiar, Rinse and repeat...
I was able to kill most bosses on Apoc with this build but I still think it is not very practical.
Have fun and let me know if you would change anything.
Deceit Weakspot Exploiter
This build uses Deceit and the Ouroboros mod to pump out high weakspot damage. Each item in this build will have a short summary of their purpose after the item name.
The general idea of this build is to use the Ouroboros mod to apply it's semi-unique status effect to elites and bosses then dump Deceit's magazine into them. Ouroboros is a fast charging mod so there is no need for mod generation items(the Spirit trait is enough.)
The player will cast Ouroboros and immediately use a melee attack to send a conjured sword toward their target. Once the target has been hit with the the sword all attacks from Deceit will register as weakspot damage. Casting Ouroboros will immediately reload Deceit's magazine.
Prime Archetype: Hunter(high ranged/weakspot damage)
Secondary Archetype: Handler(high ranged damage/dog buffs)
Skills:
Hunter's Shroud(high burst damage)
Attack Dog(Howl=DPS)
Traits:
Kinship(Handler Trait)
Longshot(Hunter Trait)
Vigor(standard enemies)
Endurance(combo dodging)
Spirit(shorter downtime)
Expertise(shorter downtime)
Revivalist(co-op & dog revive speed)
Rugged(dog can't howl if they're down)
Equipment
Long Gun: Deceit(high per-shot damage)
Mod: Ouroboros(Deceit Mod/primary focus of the build)
Mutator: Supercharger(faster fire rate/more crit)
Hand Gun: Bolt Driver(slots nicely with high crit/weakspot and Archer's Crest ring)
Mod: Bore(weakspot/crit)
Mutator: Momentum(stacking crit)
Melee Weapon: Godsplitter(thematic) or personal preference
Armor: Dendroid(light armor) or personal preference
Relic: Salvaged Heart(fast revives and great healing)
Weakspot Damage
Ranged Critical Damage
Ranged Critical Chance
Amulet: Necklace of Supremacy(high damage... just don't get hit)
Rings:
Archer's Crest(faster fire rate)
Probability Chord(high crit=more dps)
Ring of Flawed Beauty(literally made for Deceit)
Zania's Malice(stacking damage)

the build synergises well with the bleed and and active skill of flamethrower turret and the enigma on hit bullets and melts bosses
while also beeing a bit more tanky with the leto mk 2 ( + passive armoir perk from engineer ) and the mist dodge
Iam using the resonating hearth for solo play and the crystal hearth for grp play since we share our healing due to medic poassives
i managed to go thru veteran and nightmare quite easily with some exp from normal and im trying to play " apokalyse now " (hehe get it )
1st Archetype: engineer
2nd Archetype: medic
Skill: flamethrower / Healing shield
Traits:
Fortify / Triage / vigor / barkskin / fitness / Siphoner / eypertise / shadeskin ( switch shadeskin out for revive trait in grp play )
Equipment
Long Gun: Merciless +10
Hand Gun: enigma +10
Melee Weapon: dreamcather +10
Head Armor: leto mark 2
Body Armor:leto mark 2
Gloves:leto mark 2
Leg Armor:leto mark 2
Amulet:deaths embrace
Rings: black cat band / ring of omen / fae shaman ring / ( either ring of diversion or tear of karula )
overall a tanky support build which can also deal alot of status dmg due to shock / fire / bleed in combination of grp play due to my exp on nightmare makes bosses quite melt
hope u enjoy it and try to find the next secret ;D

Shields, Shields, Shields
Tired of not being able to just tank your way through literally everything? Then boy, do I have the build for you. Slap this baby together, and even mix it with your favorite build to literally live through almost anything. With the exception of a few other builds, this build is guaranteed to keep you alive way longer than any of your other friends. Don't be afraid to armor up, and take on a HEAVY roll as we take a look at one of my personal favorites, the SHIELD
Overview
Archetypes: Challenger and Hunter
Long Gun: AS-10 "Bulldog"
Weapon Mod: Hot Shot
Mutator: Extender
Hand Gun: Enigma
Weapon Mod: Chaos Driver
Mutator: Harmonizer
Melee Weapon: Smolder
Armor: Full Radiant
Amulet: Difference Engine
Rings: Generating Band, Rerouting Cable, Alumni Ring, Probability Cord
Skills: Juggernaut, Hunter's Shroud
Traits: Vigor, Endurance, Spirit, Barkskin, Fortify, Siphoner, Swiftness, Strong Back, Longshot, Glutton
Relics: Shielded Heart
Relic Fragments: Weapon Spread, Weakspot Damage, Critical Damage
Gameplay Information
The real key to this build is the Shielded Heart, Difference Engine, Generating Band, and Rerouting Cable. Spend your stamina to gain shield in combat and constantly gain heath back. I like the alumni ring to boost the DoT you get from Hot Shot, Smolder, and the Shock Damage off the Enigma. Using your relic often ends up putting you into 2x shield, giving you plenty of room to take damage and again, heal. You can certianly swap out Alumni Ring and Probability Cord for your favorite two rings, and use your preference of weapons. The Radiant armor set seems to be a nice balance of armor to weight, although you will be at weight 51, meaning HEAVY rolls all day.
And thats it! Now get in there and eat some damage :)

Build Based on the Crit oneshot build from Remnant 1. Few modifications to addapt to the new game. Could reach 5-7k per shot.
You can oneshot most of the mobs and be ready for waves and elites when they spawn with Bulletstorm.

2nd Archetype: Hunter
Skill: Bulletstorm & Hunter Focus
Traits:
Long Gun: Crossbow or Widowmaker
Mod: Hot Shot
Mutator: Slayer

I'll post one here in case it will help somebody. This one, I like to call The Witch Doctor. It's my variant on support healing that can actually survive on higher difficulties (tested on Nightmare so far, slowly working my way through that to test on Apoc later).
Archetypes: Medic Primary, Alchemist secondary
Skill: Medic shield skill, Alchemist Frenzy skill--this allows for healing and DPS boosting (a support isn't just for healing!)
Traits: besides innate traits, I maxed Vigor, Spirit, Skill Cooldown, Barkskin, Shadeskin, Untouchable (innate trait on Invader), with the 5 leftover points into AoE boost. Please forgive me for not remembering every name.
Long Gun: Crescent Moon Bow (Supercharger+10)--self healing and combo below
Handgun: Rune Pistol (buyer's choice on mutation, but I use the one that charges stowed weapon's mod)--even more healing, and honestly decent DPS for light crowd work
Melee: Dreamcatcher--this weapon is a monster when used properly. I'll explain later
Armor: Full Red Widow Set (found in The Lament dungeon on Yaesha)
Amulet: Indignant Fetish--damage boost and damage resist on getting hit. and you WILL get hit eventually...
Rings: Burden of the Divine (or Black Pawn Ring if playing solo), Blessed Ring, Black Cat Band, Generating Ring (life regen with shield active)
Relic: Crystal Heart--this thing is a monster, even better than Void Heart.
Consumables: Roots for more healing, anything else that clears blights as needed for biome
How to play: This build works by giving you a whole lot of healing options for solo and party play. The objective is to survive, give your party buffs, and keep on healing. Medic/Alchemist is a dream team. Burden of the Divine and Crescent Moon works to consistently provide healing (although it isn't always obvious on my testing), the Rune Pistol skill allows for MORE healing that you don't even have to directly give yourself. Crystal Heart is essential, as it provides constant health regeneration (115% of maximum over 10 seconds at Medic rank 10) and an extra 25% damage resist for the low cost of not being able to sprint. I know this sounds bad, but trust me, it's better than Void Heart because it heals your team instantly (for nearly their full health bar when they have Vigor rank 10), plus extra healing due to Alchemist's passives. This isn't even factoring in the useful buffs Alchemist applies when you use a relic. Supplemental healing with Root consumables as needed for that extra spice.
Now why the Dreamcatcher? It's more than just the "unlock stuff for me" weapon. It's unique skill *slows enemies.* You ever seen a pack of elites moving at half speed while you and your buddies casually line up headshots? It's a thing of beauty, and can be easily proc'd in just a few hits. I like to use the Steadfast mutator on the weapon, which prevents charge attacks from being interrupted while giving you damage resist during its animation. So long as your buddies aren't trying to die repeatedly, this build will keep them alive when used right. It even works in solo play for some hilarious sustain, although it's more fun with friends.
This build will buy you and your friends an extra life or two when needed. Use abilities to heal and shield the team, use Frenzy vial to buff dps, and watch as you carry your party to victory while making them feel good about their definitely-well-thought-out DPS builds. Be the gaming hero you were always meant to be!

amulet: spirit whisp amulet: gain skill cdr for mod spam. helps with reviving summoner minions and the archon defence skill uptime
rings: soul guard: best in slot for defence purposes

The Bestest Friend
This build is centered around aiding you friend who you (Bought) convinced to play this game with you. Your overall goal is to be a pet that HEALS, SCOUTS for stuff, COLLECT scrap and other mats, unlock certain things that are to long for them. Ideally for you friend to have a nice experience your weapons will have to be similar level. Armor is unimportant, play what you like. I recommend you friend start on veteran for a bit more challenge but survivor works as well.
CLASSES
Archetypes: Explorer/Medic (heal pet) or Explorer/Gunslinger (ammo pet)
Skill 1: Plain walker or Fortune hunter - Moves faster or find loot better
Skill 2 : (Medic): Healing Shield or wellspring | Gunslinger: Sidewinder or bullet storm - try not to delete the boss
WEAPONS
Primary: Anything - I recommend a starting a non-boss gun and limiting your gun level to your lower level friends upgrade. Cant +2 until your friend does.
Secondary: Anything - unlock the MP60-R for your friend or get the Western classic both help with first play through.
MODS: Hot shot, healing shot, bore shot - all these mods are either useful/helpful or inobtrusive to your friends first play through.
Melee: DreamCatcher - Helps in unlocking the Moonbow (Nimue), A Mod (Huntress), The invader class root earth
Mutators: None or any under level 10 - some mutator are strong use them as you want, some bosses we get stuck some time we need them.
ARMOR
Anything works - play light, medium or heavy or ultra flop ur choice
Armor set: Rift walker set - so you can just unlock the Archon for them when it ready, play what ever.
ACCESORIES - all optional
Necklace: Scavenger's Bauble - It will auto pick up scrap for you and your friend (Also you get more scrap for yourself)
Ring 1: Burden of the Divine - 50% of self healing is great for them ( you also swap the other rings for faster regen rings
Ring 2: Band Band - Faster revive speed for your friend (or you), pair with medic it might look like they never fell.
Ring 3: Vacuum Seal - Bigger scrap pickup range for you
Ring 4: Anastasija's Inspiration - Best ring just use it and recommend your friend buy it as well.
Traits - all optional
Use what you have, traits do make a difference but its also expensive to respec. no point in matching trait points it will not change your friends experience just cause you have more points in vigor than they do.
RELIC - ANY
Recommended: Dragon heart, Blooming Heart, Pulsing heart, Resonating Heart
Runes: Healing Amount, Skill Cooldown, Skill duration - really anything you like

The goal of the build is simple and straightforward. Abuse your in game wallet to buy 4 concoctions, the only required one being Bark Extract for +30 Armor, and reach an effective Armor of 196 with the extra durability from Bark Extract leaving you at roughly 69% Total Damage Reduction. The main offense comes from using either Frenzy Dust or Bulletstorm to buff your Nightfall before activating its mod, Dreadwalker, to unload on enemies and bosses alike while healing yourself to full. Some boss attacks, you don't even have to dodge if they dont stagger or one shot you, as you can simply heal to full hp before being hit again. This build is a fine line between survivability and damage but heavily relies on attaining the Nightmare Spiral from Reggies Shop when it appears for 1,000 Scraps. The build can flex pretty well as long as you keep Alchemist primary, allowing you to swap between Gunslinger, Hunter, and Challenger effectively. Any class that can buff you before activating Nightfalls Dreadwalker is a possibility for the second archetype and fits in with little to no issue. Aside from Nightfall, the Enigma now does everything it does and heals you like crazy when mobbing. The 4 concoctions usually used are: Dark Cider, Bark Extract, Verdant Tea, and Dark Fluid (which is interchangeable to whatever you would prefer.) As far as relic choices go, I would advise using Siphon Heart to further increase your lifesteal but it was never needed to clear Apocalypse Difficulty or at any point in general, as it is usually faster and safer to just continue shooting away at the enemies to heal yourself while also dealing damage and getting closer to killing whatever hurt you. Since damage is our healing, taking advantage of Deadly Calms increased crit rate at level 10, as well as the Ranged Crit Chance, Ranged Crit Damage, and Ranged Weakspot Damage relic Fragments, we can get a good number of critical hits in within our Dreadwalker DPS window and just from general use. The strange armor combination is to ensure that we can get ourselves at a flat 50 weight for medium roll while having enough base armor to make Fortify Trait worthwhile. If you're confident in your dodging, you can respec Fitness as you see fit for pretty much whatever you desire.

Literally dont dodge just deal damage once you run out of the buff place your heavy weapon as a turret.
When you are on cooldowns try to finish enemies using your melee weapon to reduce the time needed for your skill timers.
(Currently tweaking but as for now I can solo the final boss without hardly using any hearts and only using my weapons and skills/in multiplayer its really effecient when you need to revive since the stone mist grants -1 stagger)

Any weapon with Energy Wall (Defensive), Root Blades (Bleed), Time Lapse (CC) or Healing Shot (Self/Group Heal)

- Harmonizer (Mod Damage + 25% extra Mod Power generated for Stowed weapon)
ARMOR:
Without set bonusses you can wear whatever you think looks cool. Because this build is about being all up in an enemy's face, dodging is crucial but facetanking is also possible. Recommended is either a Light set, but if you run Challenger as secondary Archetype a Medium or Heavy set works aswell. It comes down to fashion and playstyle.
RELIC:
- Siphon Heart (On use, grants 10% of dase damage dealt as Lifesteal for 10s)
- Void Heart (On use, reduces incoming damage by 50% for 4s. When buff ends, heals 100% of missing Health over 0.75s)
Honestly, Relics are all down to your personal preference.
AMULET:
There are lot of viable options. Comes down to what you end up finding. I will list a few that work well with this build:
- Ankh of Power (Passive 15% dmg increase, doubled for 15s after consuming a Relic)
- Chains of Amplification (20% dmg vs enemies with a Status effect)
- Death's Embrace (20% dmg when not on full life, HASTE when below 50% health)

- Matriarch's Insignia (Increases Melee Damage by 35% and causes all successful Melee Attacks to restore 10 Stamina)
- Navigator's Pendant (Grants 20 Health, 20 Stamina, and -10 Armor Encumbrance - USE WITH HEAVY ARMOR)
- Ravager's Mark (Increases all damage dealt to BLEEDING targets by 20%. Bonus increases to 30% for targets with 50% or lower Health)
Personal preference: Matriarch's Insignia and Decayed Margin
RINGS:
Same deal as Amulet. Many options, lots of viable rings that work perfectly for this build. Pick any combo that you like!
- Akari War Band (Perfect Dodges increase Critical Chance by 15% and Critical Damage by 15% for 15s)
- Berserker Crest (Increases Melee Charge Speed by 20% and reduces Melee Stamina Cost by 25%)
- Black Pawn Stamp (Reduces Cooldowns of Skills by 10% which is an extra 3 seconds off the CD of Worm Hole)
- Blood Jewel (Charged Melee Attacks apply BLEEDING, dealing 460 BLEED damage over 20s)
- Booster Ring (Increases all Status Resistances by 10)
- Burden of the Destroyer (Decreases Ideal Range of all Firearms by 25%. Increases all damage dealt by 15%)
- Burden of the Rebel (Reduces Skill Cooldowns by 15% but increases Relic Use Speed by 25%) - This is where Energy Wall, Time Lapse and Healing Shot come in
- Burden of the Stargazer (Reduces Skill Cooldowns by 15%. Activating a Skill costs 15% Health) - Use at your own risk, preferably only after maxing out Siphon and using other sources of healing or Lifesteal
- Celerity Stone (Increases Consumable and Relic Use Speed by 20%) - When using consumables often
- Dran Memento (Increases Max Stamina by 20 and reduces Encumbrance by 5)
- Dying Ember (Gain 5% of base Melee damage dealt as Lifesteal)
- Encrypted Ring (Casting a Skill or Mod grants a Heal over Time that heals 10% of max HP over 10s. Reapplication increases duration up to a max of 30s) - Perfect when combined with Burden of the Stargazer
- Excess Coil (Activating a Skill grants a SHIELD for 25% of Max Health. Cannot stack with itself. Lasts 10s)
- Fae Bruiser Ring (Dealing Melee damage grants 2 Stack of BULWARK for 7s. Does not stack with itself)
- Fae Protector Signet (Increases Max Health and Stamina by 10 and Reduces Encumbrance by 5)
- Fae Warrior Ring (Increases Melee Damage by 15%)
- Flyweight's Sting (Increases Melee damage while Armor Encumbrance is below 50. Damage bonus increases with lower Encumbrance, up to 25% at 0 Weight)
- Frivolous Band (Increases Evade Speed by 10%. Perfect Evades increase Fire Rate by 10% and Melee Speed by 10% for 10s)
- Ring of the Robust (Increases Max Health by 10, and Armor Effectiveness by 15)
- Slayer's Crest (Increases Melee damage by 25% when attacking enemies from behind)
- Stone of Balance (Increases all damage by 7%)
- Stream Coupler (Using a Skill regenerates 10% of Max Health over 5s) - Another ring that's perfect with Stargazer
Personal preference: Burden of the Rebel and Burden of the Stargazer with either Dying Ember (general) or Encrypted Ring (depends on enemies) and either Fae Warrior Ring or Excess Coil (depends on enemies)
GENERAL HOW TO PLAY:
Spam Worm Hole. That's it. Find enemy, hold Worm Hole to teleport behind enemy, stab.
Once you obtain the Assassin's Dagger it's slightly different. You'll want to Charge Attack, Worm Hole, Charge Attack.
