This Way of Winter Frost Vortex Build featuring the M416 - Silent Anabasis is like
turning every battlefield into your own personal snow globe of destruction. With each
hit, you’ve got a 10% chance to trigger Frost Vortex, and spawn glistening Ice
Crystals that hover menacingly around your enemies when you hit them. These frosty
gems don't just sit around looking pretty—they either explode on their own or, for
maximum fun, you can manually shatter them, unleashing a bone-chilling 300% Psi
Intensity DMG. Summon Snowsprite as a deviation, and you'll be generating these icy
shards faster than a snowstorm, making sure every fight feels like a winter wonderland
(for you) and a nightmare (for them).

But the real fun kicks in with the Snow Camo Gloves, which send out extra ice
missiles every time a crystal bursts. It's like throwing a surprise snowball fight that your
enemies definitely didn’t sign up for. The combination of M416 - Silent Anabasis,
Snowsprite, and the Snow Camo Gloves keeps the crystals coming and the damage
stacking, making this build a frosty force to be reckoned with. Let it go, let it go, just
bury them in the snow!

This Way of Winter Conflicting Memories Shrapnel Build featuring the MG4 -
Conflicting Memories capitalizes on its massive magazine to unleash a non-stop
barrage of Shrapnel-filled chaos. After just 12 shots, Shrapnel triggers, dealing 50%
Weapon DMG to random unhit parts. Thanks to its +40 magazine capacity, you’ll be
spraying bullets for days, and every 15 rounds beyond 100 boosts Shrapnel DMG by
8%.

The strategy is simple: mark your enemies with the DE.50 Wildfire then swap to the
MG4 - Conflicting Memories and hold down the trigger until everything in sight is dead
or dying! With Mods like Shrapnel Souvenir to maintain your ammo and Quick
Comeback for quick refills, you’ll rarely find yourself short on bullets (assuming you
stocked up for this ammo-hungry build).

With Shrapnel procs firing every 12 shots, this setup is truly relentless! To really amp
up the chaos, this build pairs perfectly with the Beret, letting you maximize those extra
shrapnel hits and blanket the battlefield in destruction.

・For food, consume Whimsical Drink and Flaming Egg Tart

This Pyroclasm Starter Burn Build for Way of Winter turns up the heat by fully
embracing the chaos of Burn damage and ACS12 - Pyroclasm Starter! It all kicks off
with a trusty DE.50 Wildfire that marks enemies, laying the groundwork for a fiery
extravaganza. Once your target is marked, you switch to the ACS12 - Pyroclasm
Starter shotgun and unleash a torrential blast of burning fury, stacking up those sweet
Burn effects until your foes are practically sizzling like a firework show, but with more
explosions and fewer safety regulations!

To crank up the damage even further, this build combines 3-piece Shelterer Set and
2-piece Blackstone Set to ensures every tick of Burn is as devastating as possible.
With a keen focus on mods and gear that complement your weapons, you’ll maintain a
steady stream of damage without missing a beat. But the real magic of this build is the
Deviant Particles from the ACS12 - Pyroclasm: scooping these up lets you enter the
Charge state, transforming your ammo into Dragon’s Breath rounds that set your
enemies ablaze. CRISPY!

Be the pyromaniac maestro you're destined to be!

The Way of Winter's Autumn Equinox Fortress Warfare Build is a high-octane, crit-
focused machine, designed to punish enemies with relentless damage while keeping
you and your team safe. At the core of this build is the M416 - Autumn Equinox, a
powerhouse assault rifle that thrives in the chaos of Fortress Warfare. It triggers
Fortress Warfare after a few hits, creating an area that grants your allies Heavy Armor
for a short time, boosting both their defense and damage. While inside this zone, you’ll
recover a chunk of your HP per second, keeping you in the fight while your crits stack
up. Plus, if your HP is above 75%, you get an additional 25% Weapon DMG boost.

To get the party started, you’ll use the AWS.338 - Bullseye to butter up enemies from
a distance, marking them with a weakened target for maximum vulnerability. Once
they’re all marked and vulnerable, you swap to your M416 - Autumn Equinox and
activate Fortress Warfare. With your enemies soft and your teammates armored, it’s
time to mow them down while staying healed, boosted, and ready for the next round of
destruction.

beauty is, this damage doesn’t fade with distance.

This build focuses on boosting your Power Surge Damage Factor and Final Damage
Bonus to supercharge that 50% multiplier. So, get ready to zap your enemies and
watch them scramble as their aim falls apart!

The Burn Build revolves around stacking Blaze damage over time with the Burn
status effect, making it a ticking time bomb for your enemies. Every stack of Burn
deals Status DMG of 10% Psi Intensity every 0.5 seconds, for a total of 6 seconds,
and you can pile up to 5 stacks. The more stacks, the hotter the burn—and better yet,
the damage doesn't decay with distance, meaning you can roast enemies from afar.

With each stack, the Blaze Element gets stronger, making your enemies suffer in a
continuous firestorm. This build capitalizes on maximizing the Burn effect, and while it
doesn't crit or hit weakspots, its consistent and scalable damage ensures that no
matter how tough the enemy, they’ll be feeling the heat.

you in the fight.

Paired with the AWS.338 - Bullseye or Bingo for long-range flexibility, you can tweak
the build to focus purely on crits or shotgun dominance by swapping out upgrades
meant for the Bingo. Either way, you’ll be a walking wrecking ball!

・Use Zeno-Purfier for your Combat Deviant, as it allows you blink towards your enemy

The Fabled Masamune Build is all about breaking the rules. Admittedly, melee builds
are unorthodox, but that's half the fun. Here, the legendary katana, the Fabled
Masamune, is the star of the show, while guns take a backseat. Keep your weapon's
durability high for a massive +120% Crit DMG, and use a quick-draw attack for a
+30% boost and guaranteed crit to dish out some serious pain.

Your gear, like the Savior Set, and your mods, are chosen to keep you alive long
enough to dash in and bring the chaos up close, and boosting its crit rate to capitalize
on the katana's crit potential. And just to mix it up, you’ve got Bull’s Eye weapons to
soften up targets from a distance before closing in for the kill! Wake up, Samurai.
We’ve got Deviants to bur---err, slice!

Corrosion Build:
Either don't use any other Power Surge weapon or do not use the First Eletrocution mod. If the MoB gets
Power Surge status this mod is useless. Unfortunately that is also true if other players cause Power Surge
status.
Jaws Build: Lonewolf's Whisper or Butterfly's Emissary? While both are good in general Shattered Maiden's
+80% blast dmg (with a lvl 5) or Mini Feaster's +20% status dmg per tentacle; up to +80% (with a lvl 5) have
a better synergy with Jaws

For the predator and bingo build, the top armor mod that’s there “munition amplifier” is actually a glove mod
