The Bloodline Josee Grenade Launcher build focuses on maximizing the Strength/Mind Margin benefit of regaining Ichor after dealing damage to enemies. Couple this with its high strength stat and the Grenade Launcher's high Strength scaling and you'll be able to big bursts of damage from both your grenades and bullets from your weapon formae.
We won't be overburdening any stat for this build. As a strength-focused stat, we have a high enough burden cap from Josee's bloodcode as well as our Strength Booster effect. The other stats that our booster eats up such as Bayonet Mastery are also allocated on Dexterity which we have enough of.

Josee 3 provides an insane amount of strength stat and and stamina recovery from mind margin. Lastly, we're capitalizing on its 3rd trait that lets us regain Ichor but it damages us on overflow. Since our main source of damage is Fusillade Rondo, we shouldn't enter an overflow state in terms of Ichor so its downside is completely eliminated.

Grenade Launcher
|
|
|||
The Grenade Launcher is the best weapon in the mid-game to use for a strength-focused Bayonet build. It uses Grenade Launchers as its main bullet which packs a punch at the cost of a limited ammo pool. We're using this Bayonet but focusing our DPS on weapon forma use and this weapon will be a stat stick due to its high strength scaling.
Its formae will also be mostly replaced as we want both Adrenaline and Overdrive in our build to get DPS multipliers from their damage buff. Fusillade Rondo is another mandatory addition as its a cheap forma to use relative to the DPS it can dish out. Heavenly strike should be used sparingly or outright removed due to its low accuracy but is a viable attack against large, immobile enemies.
You'll want to retain the margin requirement of Josee's Bloodcode as its integral to the build. You can technically use a secondary weapon as long as it doesn't eat up stats from both Strength and Mind or it does but you're still able to maintain the 8 stat margin requirement.
| Jail | Effects |
|---|---|
Bat
|
・Bat's charged attack lets us drain Ichor continuously. |
Stinger
|
・Stinger is a decent alternative due to its range and speed but it has less Ichor absorbed on hit. |
We highly recommend the Bat for your jail of choice due to its charged attack's mechanic that lets you continuously drain Ichor from the target hit. Couple it with Josee's margin effect and you'll be able to spam your Fusillade Rondo rather easily.
| Formae Setup | |
|---|---|
Bloodreaver Blade
(Offensive) |
Mutinous Bracer
(Defensive) |
Bloodreaver Blade is a decent formae that's actually usable mid-fight specially if you have a ton of Ichor and a huge opening appears during the battle. Mutinous Bracer is a decent choice due to its ability to parry and we don't want to use the Reaper jail for this build.
| Booster | Condition and Trait |
|---|---|
Strength Booster
|
Condition:
No Conditions
・ Strength +2 |
Ichor Absorber
|
Condition:
No Overburden Effect
・ Ichor Gain Up From Drain Attacks |
Ichor Maximizer - Tria
|
Condition:
Mind 16
・ Max Ichor Up |
Bayonet Mastery
|
Condition:
No Overburden Effect
・ Bayonet Attack Up |
These are the best booster options you can consider during the mid-game. Strength Booster is an immediate option due to its stat increase for our main stat. Bayonet Mastery is a second choice which gives the highest DPS option but requires you to obtain Holly as a partner first and level up her Blood Code. Lastly, Ichor Absorber and Ichor Maximizer are great options for managing your Ichor to avoid running out specially during boss fights.
| Partner | Traits |
|---|---|
Iris MagMell
|
Link Traits:
・Defense Up Partner Trait Bonuses: ・Vitality +2 ・Defense Up During Drain ・Ichor Gain Up From Drain Attacks |
Iris is a nice tank to pair up with you as you use the Bayonet. She also increases your defense and her hits can stagger enemies more often compared to the other partners in the game which can let you replenish your Ichor in battle.
Fusillade Rondo is our main damage-dealing attack in the build. We have a near limitless supply of Ichor but only 9 grenade launchers so using Fusillade Rondo on openings, specially when buffed, is essential to maximize our build's DPS.
Due to our 9 bulelt limit, we only want to use the Grenade Launcher to dish out burst damage or knocking back enemies to prevent enemy aggression. It also deals more damage than Fusillade Rondo's 1st cast so ensure that you maximize its value and avoid spamming it.
