🔥 Eagle’s Reprise — Striker Crit Assault Build 🔥

Contributed by: Apophisdag

This build focuses on fast-ramping DPS, high uptime on critical hits, and constant pressure thanks to Striker’s stack mechanics paired with the Eagle Bearer’s stability and talent synergy. The inclusion of the Coyote’s Mask boosts your crit ceiling even higher for both you and your team. With a Crusader Shield for face-tank gunplay and a Reviver Hive for insurance, this is a reliable aggressive AR build for all PvE content.

🧠 Tactical Summary

This build is built for constant front-line aggression. Striker stacks ramp your DPS fast, and the Coyote’s Mask ensures you maintain crit caps regardless of enemy distance. The Eagle Bearer reduces incoming damage during sustained fire, helping you keep stacks up.

Your weaknesses come mostly from burst damage sources and status effects — the build is tanky enough for general Legendary play but not built as a pure tank. In group content, your crit aura and high suppression fire keep enemies pinned and your team’s DPS boosted.

Passive Modifiers Equipped

• Weapon Handling
