If you\u2019re starting with the Phantom Liberty start, get Reflexes to 15, and split the rest between Body and Tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re going to want Reflexes to 15 first in either case, actually; This is your core damage-dealing attribute. Once you\u2019ve got that to 15, get Body &amp; Tech to 9, and then max Tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may seem weird to max Tech before Reflexes, but this build relies on having every single cybeware slot filled, and also needs some pretty hefty capacity, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After maxing Tech, finish out Reflexes, and then you can pump Body to max. At 15 Body you should feel pretty powerful; max is just extra gravy, though, if you haven\u2019t finished the game yet and want to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On to perks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grab everything on the right in Reflexes ASAP, and then focus on the middle. You\u2019ll grab everything in the middle minus the reloading\/shooting perks, since you won\u2019t be using guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Tech tree you\u2019ll want to grab everything down the middle except for Built Different and Ambidextrous, and everything on the left related to health items &amp; recharge. You\u2019ll really want to make sure you grab Edgerunner as soon as it becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Body, just grab everything down the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Relic tree (this build requires Phantom Liberty, FYI), be sure to grab Jailbreak and Spatial Mapping: These are what make this build so damned good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about the real \u201cmeat\u201d of the build: Cyberware.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='code-block code-block-2' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<div id=\"gg_ads_midLeaderboard2\" class=\"gg_ads__adSpot gg_ads__adSpot--midLeaderboard\">\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8114869302769879\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8114869302769879\" data-ad-slot=\"6808095089\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Mantis Blade Build: Cyberware<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to rend flesh with style, you\u2019ll need to make sure you\u2019re optimizing your cyberware usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very first bits of cyberware you\u2019ll need (beyond the obvious Mantis Blades, which you get for free with the Phantom Liberty start) are Blood Pump, Heal-On-Kill, and Microrotors. These are all non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For everything else, there are only a handful of requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Axolotl for the Frontal Cortex is going to be really good for ensuring you\u2019ve got plenty of Sandevistan to go around. Self Ice and Mechatronic Core are good choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of, use whatever Sandevistan you like until you can get the unique variants; I used Dynalar and then Falcon until I could get my hands on Apogee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Face, stick with the Basic Kiroshi Eyes; you can\u2019t afford to waste points here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hands? A tattoo (0 cyberware req). Just make sure you have SOMETHING here so you can get the bonuses from fully-filled cyberware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Skeleton, Dense Marrow is good; Bionic Joints and Titanium Bones are also useful, and cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Nervous System, Stabber, NeoFiber and Reflex Tuner are all desirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Integumentary system is rough, because almost everything we\u2019d like is expensive.. Except for Subdermal armor. That\u2019s a must. I used Proxishield and Optical Camo, but if you\u2019re strapped for space, you can ditch Optical Camo for Countershell since it\u2019s cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in the legs, Reinforced Tendons is a must to help you get to targets faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s talk about why we need so much Cyberware.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='code-block code-block-3' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<div id=\"gg_ads_midLeaderboard3\" class=\"gg_ads__adSpot gg_ads__adSpot--midLeaderboard\">\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8114869302769879\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8114869302769879\" data-ad-slot=\"4457812656\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Mantis Blade Build: Playstyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First off: You\u2019ll use your charged attacks to get around the battlefield. Remember that Jailbreak Relic Perk? This alone lets you leap 30m at targets, closing the distance FAST and doing a solid chunk of damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combine that with Flash and Thunderclap (a perk under Reflexes) and you\u2019ll be dropping foes FAST, and will almost always be able to trigger a finisher on standard foes after your leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, here\u2019s where things get interesting: The Cyborg perk under the Tech tree cuts your cooldowns by 15% if you\u2019ve got all your cyberware slots filled. Combine that with Axolotl and the unique Sandevistans, and you\u2019ll basically be able to sustain slowed time for almost all encounters once you\u2019ve got these. Even with just the Falcon variant of Sandevistan I never had to really \u201cwait\u201d for it to refresh: I just retriggered it immediately if it ended. As long as I still had enemies to kill, I still had Sandevistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, the only times I had to trigger healing were when I was A: Absolutely swamped, or B: Dealing with foes who were spread out (and had sniper rifles).. And even then, it usually worked out just fine. Thanks to the slow time from Reflex Tuner I had plenty of time to trigger my heal if it was needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The early game is a little rocky; until you get your cyberware loaded you&#8217;re going to be fairly squishy on harder difficulties, but it&#8217;s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By level 35 I was destroying everything without breaking a sweat.. And at level 40 and beyond I was nigh-unstoppable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly: It was FUN!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mantis Blades are iconic in Cyberpunk 2077; the idea that your arms fold out into deadly serrated blades?
