Gyrfalcon’s Void Hunter Build
Last Updated:October 10, 2024|Changelog
Welcome to the Gyrfalcon's Void Hunter Build Guide! This build combines everything great about Void Hunter; Volatile, Weaken, Invisibility, and Devour. It's amazing at clearing ads and debuffing enemies for your fireteam.
Gyrfalcon's Hauberk provides Volatile rounds to your Void weapons every time you emerge from Invisibility. With each Void weapon hit, enemies become Volatile, exploding after taking additional damage. This powerful combination allows you to trigger chain explosions that can wipe out groups of enemies effortlessly.
Not only does the Gyrfalcon Void Hunter shine in terms of raw offensive power, but it also offers incredible survivability. Cycle in and out of Invisibility while maintaining near-permanent uptime on Devour—one of the best self-healing buffs in the game. Devour restores a significant amount of health with each enemy defeated, allowing you to stay in the fight longer and sustain aggressive playstyles.
