Thunder Spear builds

Builds below are patterns, not guarantees. After every balance pass, confirm numbers in your own lobby before you commit rerolls or trades.

ODM damage first

Helos families lean into raw ODM and Thunder Spear pressure if you never want to shift. Stack damage and crit perks that match your weapon rolls, then use artifacts with open slots to fix missing crit or defense. Read the Helos page for the family context.

Hybrid or Shifter routes

If you still want Titan time, Fritz and other Shifter-positive lines can split your attention. That means perk choices that do not waste points on lines you will not use—see families and the tier list before you burn another roll.

Support and safety

For escort steps and tower defense, bring enough durability to eat a mistake. Sometimes a “slower” perk that keeps you alive clears faster than a glass cannon that feeds the map. Cross-check with perks for defense and support rows.
