Guide
FUASTIAN BARGAIN allows you to always have your mark down, however you never want to use it with this build...
EVANESCENT provides a 40% movement speed buff so you have it the entire match so long as you do not have to teleport.
GUTS is good in any talus deck but it really shines in this one as you are fast and hard to hit already. People will be chasing you and this card just makes it really hard for them to confirm the kill.
SPIRITED helps GUTS as well as getting you up to a level of heal that can take a cassie burst without instant death and that is a key element to this build.
While other Talus builds focus on raw damage this build is built around taking tons of fire. If you enjoy having 3 people chasing you around with rage filled hearts this is the build for you. The speed at which you can move around the map makes it hard for anyone to pin you down. Your over charge is even more deadly because you move so fast that people cannot get away from it. Cassie roll, Lian dash none of that matters as you will be right back in their face before they even finish the movement animation. With that said those tow mentioned are the counter to Talus so you need to make sure their burst skills are on cool down before hard committing.
But that is the great thing about this build, it is so easy to flat out dodge everything... Drogoz just cant hit you. Most blaster have a really bad time against this. Dredge will lay down bombs thinking you will turn around but you can just run through them before they explode. Because of the massive dodge potential of this build you can kill allot of things with your normal gun.
The one thing you need to remember is that you move fast so dont try to fight people face to face. If you find that your in a spot where some one is just waiting for you just run over to someone else and kill them while that person is waiting for you. If you can get people to chase you to some location far away from point you dont even need to kill them you can just run away back to point kill the tank as it takes them forever to get back.
Try not to use your Blitz Upper as an attack.... its much better used as an escape... Flank over charge a damage dealer to death and as every one is turning you dash away and run around a corner and two people are chasing you... Your at 100 health and they think they got you only to come around the corner and see you going around another corner so far away they just give up on chasing you.... After out of combat healing and running back your over charge will be ready to go to delete another person.....
They will get pissed and start chasing you anyway and if this happens you will find your self dragging two or three people back to their own spawn and you have won the match...
Its allot of fun to play if you are good and dodging and have good map knowledge. Use the speed to your advantage... Aka shoot from a location just so the sniper knows your their and then run around on another route that they know about but would not think you could cover that amount of ground so quickly. The more misdirection you can provide the better this works... Over charge shreds tanks so dont be afraid to go to point and do a mag dump on the tank if the damage and flanks are hard core anti flanking you.
