Black Knight Hardwaridan Description

The Black Knight is here and he came to bring the pain. Definitely one of the coolest new hero skins to be released this year. The OG Black Knight got thicc. He brings a brand new ability with him called Goin' Constructor, which turns him into a virtual tank. His Knight's Impact allows the new ability to also trigger Kinetic Overload. His new Team Perk Kinetic Overdrive makes Kinetic Overload trigger a 2nd time. Bringing back memories of the original Kinetic Overload master Steel Wool Syd before the hero rework in March 2019.

This build chooses to focus on Hardware weapons and Kinetic Overload, since at the time of Black Knight's release there is an astounding lack of perks to compliment the new ability. We will come back and create a new Goin' Constructor themed build once more perks are released for it. As for this one, the main focus is melee damage, melee damage & more melee damage.

As usual I left off the heroes that increase your survivability. Adrenaline Rush is there to aid with healing in a pinch. If you're having trouble staying alive with this build, I recommend substituting Dark Heart Vanguard for any of those other heroes that give health or armor perks like Survivalist Jonesy or Crossbones Barret.


Weapon(s) Description

As the name suggests, this build is all about the Hardware and Kinetic Overload. With the Lead Sled, you increase your mobility ten fold with it's unique heavy attack but it can also act as your primary weapon. It gets you where you need to be quickly. You will be flying all over the map leaving a swath of dead husks in your wake.

The Husk Warper can be used to pull swarming husks closer together before dropping off an AE to help clear them. The Baron will help your mobility immensely as well but isn't used for combat purposes. Use it to get into good positions to use your other Hardware and Goin' Constructor ability.
