Devastator Class: Skills, Class Tree, and Best Builds

This is a page for the Devastator Class in Outriders. Read on to learn about the skills, class tree, best builds, and more about the Devastator Class!

Devastator Introduction

The Devastator is destruction incarnate. Charge your enemies straight ahead and level the battlefield with your seismic abilities.

A Devastator isn't just a one-man army, they're an unstoppable force of nature that will leave nothing and no one standing in their wake.

An All-Rounder Class

Playing as a Devastator allows you to brute force your way through enemy lines and still maintain high health, making this a jack-of-all-trades class.

Take advantage of mods that heal you for every damage dealt to ensure survivability in the battlefield.

Support for the Team

The Devastator may not have a high overall damage output compared to other classes but it does make up for its support abilities.

The Warden's Outrider Commander, for example, increases all healing by 20% and Shield by 20% for you and your allies. This allows your other teammates to survive waves of enemies during Expeditions.

The Reflect Bullets skill allows you to shield your allies from incoming attacks while Endless Mass pulls in enemies, allowing teammates to strike.

The Devastator class specializes in acting as a vanguard by drawing enemy fire to protect allies before unleashing AoE attacks upon reaching the enemy lines.

This class is best for players who loves the tank role as you're going to need to charge to the heart of the battle to maximize the Devastator's skills and mechanics while also dealing huge amounts of damage.

Playing as the Devastator is highly recommended for solo or novice players. See the guide below for our Solo Devastator build

Devastator Strengths and Weaknesses

How to Use Devastators Effectively

Charge Head-on

Devastators can easily charge to the frontlines and take out enemies. Use Gravity Leap to close in on the snipers and hiding enemies.

Before charging head-on, activate Golem to boost your defenses. Attach a piece of armor with the Golem of Death mod to extend the skill's duration as long as you maintain a kill streak.

Focus on Building Firepower

Since Devastators do not have any skills that let them enhance their weapon rounds such as the Technomancer's Blighted Rounds, you need to have the proper loadout to increase your overall damage output.

To increase firepower, is it recommended to equip the Claymore weapon mod for all your weapons and one mod that inflicts a status condition.

Depending on your build, you can equip an armor mod that increases your Bleed damage or a mod that increases Firepower or Anomaly such as the Rejuvenation armor mod.
