System Tree
Guide
To maximize Trenchwalker's effectiveness, consider integrating the following systems into your loadout:
- Hammer System: Enhances ability power and reduces the cooldown of the Leech Gun and Hybrid Grenade based on damage dealt. This system promotes frequent use of abilities, maintaining pressure on opponents.
- Stimulant Mainframe: Decreases shield recharge time, improves repair kit efficiency, and provides critical resistance when shields are active. This bolsters Trenchwalker's survivability, compensating for his inherently low health and shields.
- Siphon for Leech Gun: Increases the energy capacity of the Leech Gun, allowing for prolonged use. It also reduces the ability's cooldown and energy decay, ensuring Trenchwalker can consistently rely on this vital tool.
- Infection for Hybrid Grenade: Although it has a smaller explosion radius, this modification accelerates the healing rate for allies and applies a lingering damage-over-time effect on enemies who exit the area. Additionally, each healing tick replenishes Leech Gun energy, facilitating extended combat engagements.
