About

This premier build is one of Zane’s highest damaging builds focusing around his Digiclone Action Skill. Primary focus on Splash weapons because Digiclone gets your splash bonuses (including ASE 125% Splash). 

This is the recommended beginner Zane build to help farm for gear and clear endgame content. From there, you can decide to transition to a different build from this doc.

Augments

Digiclone

  • Which One’s Real and Doppelbanger for aggro relief and the ability to end Digiclone early if needed. 

MNTIS

  • No Way Out allows us to apply a debuff to enemies for a short period of time, increasing Digiclone’s damage against them.

Weapons

Any gun that deals Splash Damage can be a menace when in Digiclone hands. In order for it to receive the ASE Splash bonus, you must be holding the anointed gun in your hand, not Digiclone. In most cases you will want ASE Splash on the gun unless it cannot roll the anoint, in which you’ll be fine with N2M 100%. Additionally, for fun, you can use the 30% Ammo Regen while Digiclone is Active anoint as well, which works great with high mag size guns. A few personal recommendations for guns:

Able to easily clear endgame content:

Able to clear endgame content with some investment:

Shields

Shield choice depends on personal playstyle.

Re-Volter with Ass Break/Fill

  • On Shield Break, gives 200% bonus shock and some fire rate for 15 seconds
  • When given to Digiclone, it gains the shock-enraged effect when its shield depletes.

Transformer or Red Suit with ASE 50% Elemental

  • Safest option when given to Digiclone as you do not have to worry about it killing itself with its own Splash weapons.
  • Transformer also provides nice survivability during Maliwan Takedown

Old God with ASE 50% Elemental

  • Overall solid damage option for Digiclone and you (the Zane) yourself. Try to have an ASE 50% that matches the element on the shield or one with Radiation for Radsplosions!

Version 0.m or One Shotter Shield with ASE 50% Elemental

  • 0.m is a riskier version of an amp shield, more focused on single-pellet weapons. However, on shield break it spawns a circle (air drops from the sky, can be blocked) which buffs both you and Digiclone when you both stand in the circles. Can also use the ASS Break/Fill anoint.
  • One Shotter is more favorable for multi-pellet weapons for amp damage.

Frozen Heart or Frozen Snowshoe with ASS Break/Fill

  • Instafreezing enemies, generally safer option.
  • Frozen Heart offers more damage from the nova when using the ASS Break/Fill anoint.
  • Frozen Snowshoe does not deal any damage when used with the ASS Break/Fill anoint, but it also doesn’t blow up nearby barrels instantly.

Grenades

Grenade slot is mostly anointment fodder for ASE 50% Elemental, but thanks to Duct Tape Mod we can still benefit from the grenade itself. On Grenade Thrown 25% is also a fine option for an anointment. Digiclone does not benefit from either anoint.

Mesmer (DLC 6)

  • Dominance effect for better uptime on Trick of the Light.

Recurring Hex

  • Good for applying status effects and proccing Seeing Dead’s legendary effect.

It’s Piss

  • Nice debuff, for when you want even MORE Damage.

Fish Slap (Cartel Item)

  • Free Groundbreaker procs.
  • Unfortunately does not get blocked by Duct Tape Mod’s self-splash immunity.

Class Mods

Ideal passive rolls:

  • Action Skill Damage, Splash Damage, Weapon Type Damage, Generic or Manufacturer Crit, Magazine Size

Seeing Dead, Prioritize points in Donnybrook

  • Best in slot for Digiclone damage thanks to the points in Donnybrook. Also provides some downright respectable Health Regen.

Artifacts

Ideal passive rolls:

  • Area of Effect Damage, Weapon Type Damage, Elemental Damage, Magazine Size

AoE Damage in the second or third slot also gives Splash Radius and is preferred for many setups. Digiclone does not benefit from Splash Radius increases.

Icebreaker/Snowdrift Victory Rush

  • Icebreaker for mobbing, works very well with Frozen Heart/Snowshoe ASS effects.
  • Snowdrift for bossing and general movement, lots of damage from Violent momentum.

Toboggan (DLC 5 Artifact)

  • Alternative artifact for Zane damage while bossing. Can still roll splash damage for clone. 🙂
  • Sliding gives a 100% amp to all pellets (similar to a One Shotter shield) of your next shot, very easily re-appliable.
