In Dauntless, players have a lot of options when it comes to selecting the build that they will use for a hunt. Indeed, some will spend their time focusing on Dauntless Repeater builds, while others may be more interested in putting together the best Dauntless Chain Blades build. For these players, this guide covers one such build, and it will have Slayers dealing some serious damage in combat.

This Dauntless Chain Blades build was shared by YouTuber Sh4d0wStrider, and it focuses on maximizing attack speed and damage. Additionally, the Assault, Blitz, and Frenzy Tonics can be used to push the DPS of this Dauntless Chain Blades build even higher, though these supplies are not strictly necessary.

With that established, here are the details on this Dauntless Chain Blades damage build, which can be used solo or when playing Dauntless with friends:

  • Chain Blades: Inferno's Fangs + 15 | Perks: + 3 Overpower | Cells: +3 Overpower Cell, +3 Ragehunter Cell | Special: Cruel Riftstrike | Mod: Serrated Blades
  • Head: Light’s Crown + 15 | Perks: +3 Conduit | Cell: +3 Evasive Fury Cell
  • Torso: Mantle of Thorns + 15 | Perks: +3 Predator | Cell: + 3 Aetheric Attunement Cell
  • Arms: Grasp of Thorns + 15 | Perks: +3 Evasive Fury | Cell: +3 Ragehunter Cell
  • Legs: Stride of Thorns + 15 | Perks: +3 Predator | Cell: +3 Aetheric Attunement Cell
  • Lantern: Drask's Eye | Cell: +3 Conduit Cell

Once a a player has assembled all of the pieces for this Dauntless Chain Blades build, a guide for using it may be helpful. To begin, Slayers may wish to start a fight by using the Assault, Blitz, and Frenzy Tonics mentioned above, and then taking a couple of hits from the Behemoth in order to get their health to around 50%. This will allow the player to gain additional attack speed from the Blitz tonic, which will lead to an overall increase in DPS.

From there, players should do their best to dodge attacks, for the Evasive Fury bonus, and avoid all damage to keep the Predator buff active. Players can also focus on attacking a Behemoth's head first to get a quick stagger in Dauntless and additional damage from Overpower. From there, stamina should be put into attacking, and the Chain Blades' special can be used for evading and repositioning as needed.

With the Dauntless Chain Blades build outlined here, and some tips on how to put it to use, Slayers should find that they can boop, interrupt, and put down Behemoths in no time. Once this has been mastered, players can then move on to assembling a Dauntless Axe build for even more hunting options.

Dauntless is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
