Lantern: Embermane's Rapture (Embermane).All in all, with this build you'll be able to tear apart any Behemoth in a mere 2 minutes of fighting, as long as you avoid getting hit. The Knockout King helps to make your Overpower as useful as possible, and the Conduit is there simply because it's the best thing to put into the Utility Cell slot you have left over. Basically, stupendous amounts of damage, particularly when the Behemoths are enraged or aether-charged (which often happens simultaneously). But aside from this, the old familiar favourites are present: Tier-6 Overpower, Cunning, Ragehunter, and Aetheric Attunement for our Drask's Eye Lantern. I've deviated a bit from the norm with this build, exchanging the usual Predator Perk for Aetherhunter. In this case the Inferno's Razor provides the Overpower Perk, which is just fine for what we have planned with this build. Not only are the unique traits extremely powerful, but they also provide the highest PPP ('Power Perk Potential') of any weapon. You'd better get used to seeing the Hellion variants at the top of the ladder for each weapon set.

Cells: Aetheric Attunement (x2), Overpower (x1), Aetherhunter (x1), Cunning (x1), Knockout King (x1), Conduit (x1).All in all you've got a great and easy to obtain build for dancing through attacks and dealing massive Part damage in a short space of time. The Fiery Helm provides further attack speed to your loadout, and the Shell of the Swarm chestplate is valuable for its inherent Bladestorm perk and its Technique Cell slot, which you can use to buff that Bladestorm even further.

Gnasher Arms and Legs are some of the earliest gear you can lay your hands on, but don't underestimate them they're very viable choices thanks to the Power Cell slots they provide (most Power Cells are extremely powerful) - and their Perks aren't bad to have either. The Ember Cutlass is a fantastic early-game sword thanks mainly to its unique trait, which deals bonus Part damage on your seventh hit in a row - and the Evasive Fury Perk makes this even easier to proc thanks to the attack speed buff it provides whenever you dodge through an attack. This build is probably the best you're gonna get for a while when it comes to breaking Behemoth parts in record time. Cells: Bladestorm (x2), Sharpened (x2), Evasion (x2), Energized (x1).Be aware though that it automatically sets your gear to the maximum possible level, so the links below may not be fully accurate in terms of the overall Tiers of each Perk for the early-game builds. Note: for each build I've provided a link to the Dauntless Builder site, a useful tool that allows you to plan out and showcase your builds to the community. The early-game builds are designed to be achievable without too much progression (we're talking pre-Hellion level, Tier 1-2 Perks, etc.) - whereas the late-game builds are designed to be the very best that the game can provide, with fully upgraded gear, Tier 6 Perks, all that good stuff. I've put together two builds for each weapon type, based on a combination of my own findings and builds and the builds of others online that I've tried out and seen to work.

Now let's get into the builds themselves. So if you're confused about a particular choice or a particular item or piece of terminology below, then your best bet is to consult our Dauntless weapons, Dauntless armor, Dauntless cells/perks, or Dauntless crafting/supplies guide depending on what needs answering. I won't spend much time explaining each of them, because. Click any of the links below to skip ahead to a particular section.Īs mentioned, there are a number of different things that go into creating a build in Dauntless and making yourself fully prepared for the coming conflict. But the following builds should give you a decent idea of where to put your materials if you're not sure where to begin. The perfect build really doesn't exist in Dauntless, because it depends entirely on the Behemoth you'll be facing next, the weapon type you're most familiar or skilled with, and so on.
