High-Damage Hunter Build with Grapple Melee

what's up guys Hunters are way better than we thought this build I'm going to be showing off in this video which is incredibly easy to do is absolutely broken you can kill bosses in four melees doing well over 1.6 million damage per melee so yeah uh that's pretty good so breaking down everything about this combo and how it works starting off with grapple with think grapple melee this is one of the higher damage melees in the game just from its base at hitting over 46.9 th000 and in this video I'm going to have a running total of the melee increase usually the grapple used to hit for the same number twice now it was different sometimes it still is the same I don't know what's going on it hits a lot the first thing we can add is Z synths on the new exotic class item being a 2.65 X increase so that is taking it to a total of 124,000 and so far the total increase of the melee is obviously 2.65 now we can to also add in one two punch which will be a 2X increase taking the total to 248,000 which is already a lot from a single melee and a total melee increase of 5.3x and the next thing that we can add is going be where it gets more complicated in theory but in practice in use very very simple and that's be stylist executioner which says while invis if you melee something it will weaken it it does not say that it's also going to be a 3X melee buff and apply the weaken but usually with grapple when you grapple you become no longer invisible so how do we get around that well if we use the tether this is the one that will share the damage between targets and obviously tether weakens and if we read what stylus executioner does if we kill a weaken Target one the light debuffs that will make us go invis so how this works is when you tether the boss as long as someone else is being tethered with it which you're going have to be surrounded for Sy steps so that's going to be all the time in this combo when you shoot the boss with your shotgun the damage of it is going to be shared to the other tether targets and you're then kill at least one of them and they are being weakened which procs silage executioner and mid grapple even though you generally can't see it you will go inis and you will get the 3x melee increase this step we're also adding a debuff with tether at 1.3x taking the total almost to 1 million in a total increase of 20. 67x and while that step might have made this combo seem very complicated trust me once we get the entire picture going it is very very simple this season in the artifact we also have showed Crush which is when we have a Elemental resist will get increased melee damage and generally you're going to have to pick up an orb with the purpose fragment to get the void overshield but this season along with shield crush we also have this AR mod right here which is when we defeat a weaken Target we will get a void overshield which will loop back into the tether when we shoot the boss with our onew punch shotgun it will spread the damage and kill the tethered targets which will not only give us the invisibility will also give us a void overshield so just slowing that down once again even though there's a lot going on it boils down to as simple as tether the boss and targets nearby shoot the boss grapple melee that is as simple as it is it all just happens in the background for you if you just do that two simple step process and now take the total damage to over 1.2 million and a total increase of 25.8 X and the way we get to higher numbers in the beginning of the video is because Carl and Patrol nesses is lower light level than that of dungeons or raids and that is where the numbers would be even higher in those higher light activities another thing we could try with the artifact is this one right here where while Transcendent you get bonus grenade and melee damage and this will be 10% which I've tested in previous videos and this is me unironically trying to do it uh it doesn't work because when you're Transcendent you don't have your grapple grenade anymore uh that's pretty obvious but I tried it you know completely UNS seriously that was a joke but one thing that is very important to know about this combo is you don't want to use combination blow if you don't know if you didn't watch my first melee video the melee increase of combination blow does not stack with grapple melee it just doesn't work so not only does it not work with grapple combination blow and syntho do not stack together properly it makes syntho have Dimension returns and only being a 1.3 instead of a 2.65 and even though it's not applying to Grapple it messes up the math and lowers the damage of the melee so just don't use combination blow I use wethering blade instead just to proc stylish in like the neutral game to go invis and the final key of the puzzle is the zombie Navigator and the Callis to create a grapple tangle point to be able to Grapple more than once in a row so breaking down the full combo so it simply blows down to create a tangle point pther the boss the boss has to be surrounded which makes sense because we're using sys and other targets have be tethered by the tether itself and then all you have to do is shoot the boss grapple the melee and do that over and over again usually you're going become invisible after hitting the boss with your melee at that point you just want to shoot melee do something to get out of invis and just do it over and over again and the secret to make it work on multiple melees in a row is just to make sure that before you shoot the boss with your one two pun shotgun make sure that you see something else being Tethered to to the boss if there's nothing being tethered then you won't go inis you will lose a huge chunk of the melee damage and that is the key to doing it back to back to back on a boss just be patient and wait until something is Tethered if there isn't something being tethered currently so once again just slowly going through the entire combo grapple point teather the boss shoot the boss then grapple melee and as you're doing that everything will just happen the invisibility theid overshield it'll just happen for you you don't have to think about it all you have to make sure on your end is make sure there's something tethered with the boss that way when you shoot the boss it will spread the damage kill it give you invis and the overshield so overall this combo will work on any boss that you could use to do the Str Titan combo so any boss in the game where there's just going be two or more enemies around it and this combo will work and even if you can only get off like one or two of these that's already well over 3 million damage if you can get all three or four well once you get to four it's going to be over 6 million damage so yeah the damage is just absolutely crazy it's higher than the old Grand Titan we just compare what the Str Titan build used to be you could start off with the same 30% debuff you would have a 40% or 1.4 from Banner of War then you would have synthos seeps and one two punch shotgun and that was more or less it and the end result was quite a lot lower than the current one on Hunter now 25% of it is tied to the artifact but even without that it's still will do a lot of damage so yeah Hunters have this for bosses where you can be surrounded they have still hunt plus Nighthawk for like Precision or traditional boss fights then their neutral game with combination blow and cban is just absolutely insane so there's really nothing in the game that Hunter isn't currently the best at they just are the best at literally everything and one final note is why is syntho better in this while I thought liar was better for the neutral game combination blow well combination blow and syntho have Dimension returns where it's only a 1.3x compared to normally a 2.65 for the syntho buff and that is why the L's hand fake was better for that but in this build we're not using combination blow and that is why syntho is better for grapple just because we're not getting the dimension returns that we were with combination blow anyways I think that's going to be it for the video definitely give this a try you haven't yet and multiple times throughout the video I try to explain that it's way more simple than it might look or sound and it truly is the footage you see of me doing it versus the boss in this uh game play were five attempts in a row I just got on did five attempts to record footage and that was it I mean it is that simple the hard part is doing it like like four or five times in a row because it's kind of RNG of how slowly the red bars kind of get sucked into the tether all right I think that's going to be it for the video like usual thanks for watching catch you guys next time
