@@thealldayspecial You can also get your smoke back from a dodge lol so there’s that as well added to my kit , i’m glad everyone will whine and cry over grapple one shot and swarm nades so we get to keep these OP ass smokes that give you walls if you run khepri
Yooo my builds circulatin, couple tips cross, and of course to anyone else trying it out. Landing the actual grapple tag itself on the player makes it MILES more consistent for one bit kills. I also dunno if you’re on facet of purpose, for extra light ability damage on darkness debuffed enemies, helps a ton. Word for the wise as well, hitting players against a wall seems to make it inconsistent. Should also run the health back and shield regen on orb pickup mods, that way you’re not caught tryna regen after you get the initial melee kill. Helps to also have the woven mail on orb pickup as well. Happy buildcrafting guardians! Also idk if cross was on a swash better devils, ngl couldn’t tell but, that’s necessary
It's a decent build but I'd use bink with it instead, that way you and blink passed or behind your opponent then spin around mid air with the grapple melee for the easy one shot, the blink to grapple melee tactic, helps eliminate you getting shot out of your grapple alot

Why not try it with travelers chosen because after using your grenade travlers will now do strand damage which should help give you your grenade and melee back but should also get the extra damage on the tangle
Can't wait to see only this build in pvp now until it's nerfed. I love how some said he’s using it wrong like bro he’s a titan main. He knows how to get the most damage from punching.
Looks like you should be using gamblers dodge to get your melee back. Can use it to make a shadow clone also so you have another way of getting strand kills
The Grapple one-shot is funny but it's not why I use Khepri's Sting. The incredible +500% regen rate on the Snare, plus the bonus damage, tees up so many opportunities in Trials. More uptime, more traps, more fun! It's gotten me flawless twice already and it will be giving me many more in the future. It's incredible how even a whiffed throw is a reward for you. But yes having the one-shot in your pocket can come in clutch

Titans have shoulder charge, warlocks have every fucking thing.. hunters don’t have a single one hit melee besides the throwing knife.
@@700-i8o I think all OHK abilities should be out of pvp. Rockets, snipers, and extremely close range shotguns should be the only things capable of OHKs (outside of supers).

What if you use the arc dodge for bonus DMG if needed? You grapple melee then dodge and while your in air you shoot the tangle for the best combo
Haven't played since 2020, would Last Word be a good gun for this?
Because if it's like how it was then it would be a good gun for the build.
Try to use the dusk field with the exotic including the fragment where if you do a debuff any light source will increase damage
