Add to Watchlist

Outriders Reaver Build

This is a guide to building the Reaver, a Trickster Build in the game Outriders. To learn about the weapon, gear, and mods for the Reaver Build, read on.

List of Contents

Reaver Description

Reaver Build

A Trickster Cyclone build that relies on maneuvering your character to the best location to damage the most number of enemies in the span of each skill duration.

Best Reaver Skill Set

The Reaver's skill is determined not only by the Skill Nodes in its Skill Tree, but also for its practicality.

Skill Description
Temporal BladeTemporal Blade Paralyze and slice enemies in front of you, dealing damage and inflicting Slow and Interrupt to all targets.
Twisted RoundsTwisted Rounds Fill your current weapon's magazine with Anomaly-infused bullets that increase your Fire Power. The skill lasts until you reload or switch weapons.
Cyclone SliceCyclone Slice Create a whirlwind of Anomaly blades that deal damage and Interrupt onto enemies within a small radius of you with every hit.

Temporal Blade is the bread and butter of the Trickster class. This allows you to Interrupt enemy skils before they activate, while also dealing considerable amounts of damage because this build focuses on enhancing your Anomaly Power.

Cyclone Slice is the heart of this build. A skill that utilizes both crowd-control as well as Interrupts. The best way to fully utilize this skill is to max out on Skills Life Leech attribute. This allows your Cyclone Slice to heal you up as you damage crowds of enemies.

Lastly, Twisted Rounds will be your equalizer when it comes to Boss fights. Raising your Anomaly Power using shards can push your damage output to the limits. Pair this with the Perpetuum Mobile mod and you can have potentially limitless rounds of Anomaly-powered bullets.

The Reaver is an absolute Anomaly Storm in the form of a person. This build will be centered on maximizing your damage output while also maintaining crowd-control. Alternatively, you can rely on Anomaly Shards to boost your Anomaly Power and lower your skill cooldowns as you build your way up to that Full Reaver Build.

The Shadow's Embrace skill node allows a percentage of your Anomaly Power to be added as Firepower bonuses, buffing two Stats at once.

Hi, thanks for the input. But I have a doubt on this build, Countershield only works with deception skills, right? Which one of: temporal blade , twisted round or cyclone slice is a deception one?
