[@clee1018]

The counter attack won't proc with Gathering Storm equipped. Liar's Handshake is super bugged right now. When you have Lethal Current on it won't proc Cross Counter right away either. It usually takes 3 neutral melees before it procs.

[@ImJaspy]

Xeno has one two punch and field prep lightweight frame so you move faster

[@Zullo_]

At the beginning, one two punch could persist beetwin punches / weapon swaps, allowing for a double melee before needing to reproc the perk. This was changed in a patch, so that, now, any melee / weapon swap will remove the buff. So you can use the 3x damage multiplier also on liars handshake as long as you shoot every melee instead of 1/2 (and if you melee, then dodge + shotgun One two punch , the bonus explosion from lethal current will get the bonus from liars + one two punch (and is REALLY devastating)). So if it is really a build changer (mainly if it gives an insane damage output on raid bosses) maybe consider pointing it out on another video

[@hezoret9435]

Something to consider: rather than an arc shotgun, pair this with a kinetic one-two punch and the new seasonal scout for volt shot. That way you have yet another source of jolt, one that can be used at long ranges, and can still take advantage of all the different champ mods we have

[@verboseessays]

bro he is dead, stop the bully xD

[@jj124344]

Also the sidearm you get from the season pass with voltshot and threat detector is also very very good

[@eclipse4517]

Wastelander is easily the best shotgun for this build. It's a lightweight frame, so +20 Mobility and a sprint speed buff, and it's also craftable now, so Enhanced One-Two Punch for more forgiveness.

Boss stomps are considered explosive damage, reason why use concussive dampener instead of melee resistance mod on chest piece.

[@granqvist8962]

I've been playing this since forever, i had no idea it counted as explosive, but it makes sense lol. Thank you.

[@AlterRequiem]

Melee resist mod actually doesnt care specifically about melees, but things IN melee range. This means if you stack a melee mod and a concussive mod, you actually get better damage reduction from boss stomps than if you were to use 2 concussive mods because mods stack without diminishing returns if they are different.

[@omegaxtrigun]

@@ADUSN It's not goofy at all lol. The boss stomps are not considered "explosive" damage. Concussive dampener literally says "Reduces incoming area-of-effect damage from combatants." It's not explosive. It's any aoe damage. Of course a stomp is aoe. The people you replied to just don't know how to read apparently.

[@justiron2999]

@@omegaxtrigun It's spaghetti code held together by cheap clear tape and faith.

[@Menirz]

Melee resist is distance based, not damn type. So as long as you're close to the vandal, their wire rifle will still count for "melee resist". Iirc, the distance is similar to Thread Detector. Same for sniper resist, but you just need to be far enough away. Concussive doesn't care about "explosive" damage, it just cares about area of effect. So stomps, boomers, wizard poison all count.

[@SpawnOfTRON-1980]

PSA: Jolt-chain kills can trigger Explosive Well maker, allowing you to utilize Well of Life. Combine that with tier 10 resilience and you are very hard to kill.

[@Masoch1st]

Yes not only when you kill 3, which c isn't super uncommon but a lot less common in master or above where you need it the most

[@GeezyLoves420]

I've been running a similar build but with a few major alternatives. Switch out Bountiful Wells for Elemental Charge. Switch Well of Ions for Striking Light, which drops an Orb of Power for melee kills while Charged with Light. Spark of Amplitude which creates orbs for rapid kills while amplified. Every charged melee kill creates a well, amplifies you, gives you Charged with Light x2. The next charged melee kill drops 3 orbs per kill barring the fragment cooldown. Run Recouperation instead of double Innervation so every orb you pick up heals you. As much resilience and recovery as possible. You can also run a Harmonic Siphon so your weapon also makes orbs. Its insane. I typically drop around 50-60 orbs in a nightfall and can get up to 3 supers per gambit match.

As an arc hunter afficianado for the entirety of my destiny career, this was always the craziest and funnest build, but it always had a super that not only didn't conplement it, but hurt it as well, since by the time your arc staff ended your buffs would have ended also. Could you test to see if you can proc lethal current by punching an add, then liar's handshake to see if the high damage "Stab" punch boosts the damage of the lethal current jolt as well?

[@escentrik1997]

You can also add striking light with elemental charge and you create orbs out the wazzuh. Been using this “build” since LH came out. Super fun to punch everything as a hunter.

[@christopherballard1348]

I couldn't tell if you took it into account, but it's worth mentioning that one-two punch's buff goes from 200% and 350% on bosses, to only 80% with liars handshake.

Build also works extremely well in Master Lost Sector 20 Light under btw. Easiest time I ever had and it’s also hella fast. Stuff just dies and you don’t. Just make sure you have lethal current x3 for all champions and they’re just gone.

[@username00me]

I made a build like this when arc 3.0 came out, but didn't focus on grenades. the only flaw I could find was, the lightning explosion would kill the enemy on high health targets, or low health targets when starting to get stacks of combination blow. this isn't very good, because if the explosion kills the enemy, it won't proc the health regeneration or give you combination blow. other than that, it's a solid build

[@AsianSadge]

The explosion also consumes the cross counter buff for whatever reason, also something to keep in mind

[@kingpikachuthethird]

With unstoppable shotgun and overload arc grenade also makes the build intrinsically anti-champion and then barriers can just be one shot so don't need to worry about them but could just add a kinetic weapon if needed

Man I wish that combination blow made arc melee final blows regenerate your class ability energy, sadly it only triggers on the initial combination blow hit itself, and not the jolt (which counts as an arc melee final blow in the code, as it generates wells with only melee wellmaker) from lethal current

[@alcapone117]

I've been preaching this build for like a week or two now, thank God someone finally made a video on it, I can finally rest

[@Criiies]

For endgame stuff I would probably swap out liars handshake for assassins cowl and keep the rest the same. The assassins cowl really helps with survival and it also lets you reposition really well to get close to the champ/boss with ease. Yes you lose some damage but realistically not dying is more important than pure DPS

[@guber9339]

Losing Liars only affects the 2nd 'follow-up' punch, making you do less damage overall but that first hit is still that massive half a million instant damage which is honestly overkill for nearly everything in the game. Im pretty sure that consistent combo WITHOUT Liars does literally more damage than a Parasite shot at x20 stacks, so I would definitely go Assassins Cowl for the invisibility and extra healing. Can even drop tractor for a linear or something else to handle far away targets for boss DPS and still be able to ad clear even minibosses with ease

[@Gwynbleidd_117]

Maybe for top end difficulty stuff. But don’t forget Liars Handshake heals on the cross counter hit too. With spark of res and high res with this heal you still have pretty decent survivability, making the invis just overkill. I’ll take the damage of liars in *most* content.

[@TheHeadincharge]

@@Gwynbleidd_117 I would honestly say that in lower level content it’s really a toss up. The damage on both is overkill in a legend lost sector for example, but assassin’s cowl is far better in master content. I did solo flawless on the one yesterday at 1577 light and was able to simply clear all the ads while invisible then easily focus down the two overload champions with my bow. At my light level, the one two punch shotgun wasn’t useful since I couldn’t do enough damage to fully kill both overload champions before they would regen and I would lose my buff, although if I was at 1580 or higher it would probably be able to get the job done.

[@diontes1480]

@@Gwynbleidd_117 it does heal a good bit but for top end, if you get bombarded in the few seconds you run, you are absolutely done for. The Cowl's REAL potency comes from Finishers and pairing it with Special Finisher. With the build above, you're gaining so many orbs and doing so much damage it's very easy to not only use your super, but turn this Exotic into a Special Aeon Invis helmet

[@JMMinorSituation]

Not sure if it’s always been this way, but I noticed Liar’s handshake doesn’t require a charged melee to get increased damage on the second hit. At least from what I noticed

High mobility means faster dodge recharge if you melee an enemy and dodge when there's no enemies nearby so you can continue the combo and the same with high strength

[@fisticuffs591]

I’ve basically been using this build with a substitution of protective light and elemental charge to help with survivability in endgame solo content like dungeons. I hadn’t considered going the combination grenade route, definitely something I’m thinking about now. Also haven’t been using tractor cannon because wish-ender is actually a viable option for content imo, anti-barrier is great and the damage buff is noticeable. By running a LMG it’s another way to get all of the champion mods covered in a single loadout. Worth noting also was in Aztecross’s latest hunter build video, the arc aftershock caused by lethal current on your melee seems to count as an explosion, so you can run explosive wellmaker and well of life to throw in some extra health regen when you pick up solar wells. Edit: after doing some play testing of my own I couldn’t get solar wells to appear with explosive wellmaker, so I can’t speak to the accuracy of the claim

[@nightismonochrome]

Was thinking lf doing a video on this mechanic but good to see you put it out. Other details to note from my testing: The aftershock somewhat counts as a charged melee (it procs assassins cowl, haven't tested if this can generate wells). If your "one-two punch" buff disappears before the aftershock, the aftershock will NOT benefit from the damage boost, i.e. the aftershock technically counts as a separate melee and may not be a "product" of your initial melee. This also means well of ions will NOT increase the aftershock damage, tried and tested (unless you can pick up a well between the time you punch and the aftershock), but well of ions is still a great supplement. (edit 2: just before you hit the boss with feedback you got punched again, reproccing feedback). The aftershock does NOT apply to the uppercut attack, but the uppercut attack DOES benefit from 3x combination blow. Also, uppercut sadly does not benefit from one-two punch. The aftershock still applies to the arcstrider super, but it's still more DPS to dodge light light heavy, than to dodge light dodge light. Other exotics that this pairs really well with: Sixth coyote (tested for back to back aftershocks), and possibly radiant dance machines(I don't have this unfortunately). Edit: Also for reference, a single 3x combination blow one two punch with aftershock (excluding the liar's handshake followup) is roughly the equivalent of firing 3 adaptive frame rockets at a target. Kaboom fists.

It’s also possible to 2 phase gahlran if you keep the combo x3 with tractor debuff.

With the Resilience changes & the Healing from Cross Counter you don't need to worry about Recovery as much, it's still important to keep it fairly high but it's not awful if you're at 60-70 at all! I'd still say having 100 Mobility is important, its something I can't give up as a Hunter haha!

I believe liars is bugged pretty bad right now. on top of it not procing on enemies punching you, you can see at 3:15 he punches the boss 3 times and only on the 4th the liars punch procs. isn't it suppose to be right after the 2nd melee?

[@willardlarkinsnow5622]

You should try out Shinobus bow now. It’s insane for PVE. You can use the arc grenade jolt fragment and the one to get ionic traces from jolted combatants, and a bunch of firepower mods and you are basically spamming grenades that work like Trinity ghoul

[@goldslime3188]

Can't wait for the arc melee titan build with worm god carres since its always broken.

[@Lau_wings]

Cross counter is currently bugged with the new super, if you use it with the old arc strider it procs on enemy melee hits.

[@honeyb4dger115]

For my version of this build I use 3 melee wellmakers, 1 bountiful wells, and 1 well of ions with Flux grenade and after 1 melee kill and I get almost all of my grenade back after picking them up so I don't have to use other mods like impact induction and such that I can rather use for scavs reserves artifact mods etc

[@isaac_r_s2716]

I say try going with warmind build along side the arc 3.0, the ikelos smg and machine gun are both arc weapons, or you could go with an incandescent primary or use the lightweight arc shotty world drop with one two punch and something like tractor in heavy (all with the liars handshake)

[@happyspacefun3796]

something to note, this can someway bug your third person camera, i was trying to do a flawless prophecy and it bugged

[@Indiebeard90]

I wonder how fast a bunch of hunters could melt the warpriest with this build.

[@goldump]

Hunters really gotta sacrifice their entire character just to be sorta like bonk titans

[@anthonygutierrez4087]

Love the video I use liars handshake all the time the way I activated it is Melee One two punch then melee

[@Legoleflash]

Wow. What a build. This looks so fun.

[@Stryder.]

Arc helmet + Hands on for the extra super energy on melee kills

[@MrRBX]

1-2 punch lowers to 80% when cross counter is up

[@derpdeer6140]

Could be wrong but I think I saw somewhere that liar’s not proccing on taking melees was because of gathering storm, and using arc staff should fix it

[@ExtremeRickman]

Nice. Love liars handshake

[@brucemcfarland5994]

Do thirty things get more damage. Boss fight ends before you finish those thirty things. “The more you know”

[@eclipse4517]

I took this build into Day 1 King's Fall and was basically running circles around everything, with the most kills and most damage on the team 9 times out of 10. Arc 3.0 Hunter is ridiculously good even without any seasonal mods, which is more than I can say about Solar 3.0 Hunter.

[@Kruciate]

Most damage? BB hunter still dominates in terms of damage in KF, especially since you can't use melee builds for DPS in it. Plus you can buff your group with radiant as a solar boy. All depends on the encounter.

[@SwoleakhulTheBlind]

Most damage? Did you punch the bosses? 😅

[@eclipse4517]

@@SwoleakhulTheBlind lmao, I wish. Sword strats were apparently viable for Warpriest, so I probably could've tried fists too if everyone was on board, but that didn't happen. I was rocking Cataclysmic with Enhanced Bait and Switch. The Gathering Storm Super was the thing that really helped cement my place at the top of the damage charts, since it does pretty respectable damage, and you can just yeet it into a boss and keep shooting at it.

[@eclipse4517]

@@Kruciate yeah, Blade Barrage is probably better for actual damage, but Solar Hunter just sucks ass at surviving now that Classy Restoration is gone. I tried using healing grenades instead, but it just wasn't good enough, plus it meant sacrificing most of my Igniting capabilities.

[@Kruciate]

@@eclipse4517 Ever since resil shot up to 40% resist, I feel like resto is overkill. Makes sense that there's a tradeoff though, solar giving more damage but surviving just like arc would be silly. I love a ranged radiant buff and igniting juicier targets, just sucks that arc gets mostly neutered unless you can reliably punch your target.

[@zebrastripe665]

I know that each hunter subclass did lose some nice stuff like Heart of the Pack, practice makes perfect,etc, but overall it feels like all Hunter subclasses got a pretty nice bump with the new 3.0 system and abilities.

[@ExtremelyOnlineGuy]

They should introduce those perks again yet reworked and as exotic perks on armor or weapons or something.

[@andrealuciani3607]

So for the one two punch hunter would you suggest acrius or tractor cannon?

[@DoodTuber]

The thing about Liar's Handshake is the gameplay looping. It's annoying.

[@smellybondoape]

Instead of bountiful wells and we'll of ordnance, or just focusing on nades in general, I use heavy handed. Pair it with outreach on your class item, spark of beacons and resistance and elemental charge and you'll have more survivability while getting up close.

[@charliebartlett5768]

I have the arc prophecy shotgun with one two punch and grave robber. So good for this build.
