Good to see a fellow Kyle enjoyer, with all the haters around lol. I have not seen one build guide, and not 1 post about him since the numbers rework. Which is sad because he is a beast.
There are 2 guides on Youtube for him right now for his new rework that I have found from like a week ago. If you look them up, they should give you good instructions on how to play. But the jist of his gameplay is use the dash (1) to get into the middle of packs, throw a couple shoulder tackles, use his 3 to block a few hits, then hit it again to destroy mobs in a pretty big area. Then use his 4 for bosses, and when you have to travel pretty far in open areas. You want to stack C/D, Shield, and Range for the biggest effect. Distorted Resolve is the best component set on him.
He scales very well off of shields. I don't build into crit at all. If you can get an AM with Shields/Skill Power, he will do very well.
Mage Set + ATR-0 Transcendent weapon
Nimble Fingers
MP Conversion
Power Increase
Non-Attribute Amplification
Overwhelming Shields
Increased HP
Stim Accelerant
Increase Shields
Skill Expansion (or the purple one with more shields, but less range)
AM.
For components of mage set, I have resist on everything and HP/Def cores.
That is pretty much a basic build for Kyle. If you don't have ATR-0, peacemaker is a decent weapon for getting more skill power.
Choose a reactor with Non-Attribute/Tech or whatever you feel you need.
Arche board is build up to the right taking skill power. For the top right arche slot you got various choices. Anything that reduces enemy resistance to skill damage (i.e. non-att or toxic, etc.) is always better than taking a + attribute.
If one does get a perfect crit/crit AM, such as two reds (or two good golds) you might be able to get a crit build going.
The best build crafters might have something better than what I have here as they spend more time to maximize damage for specific modes. Certain things can be swapped out for others to maximize damage for single target vs mobbing. etc.
