Iceborne is really nice if you can get Resolve down, since you can get chunked for a decent amount of health, not get staggered, and immediately follow up with a massive heal. Basically just do what you would with every other weapon and pump (general) damage and attack speed.
Definitely go attack speed ( Conduit with Embermane Lantern, maybe Evasive Fury or Wild Frenzy). Really decent for Escalation in particular, but can be nice just to turn off your mind in patrols.Īs for general purpose cells, Axe can do massive work with part-breaking and staggering due to the sheer amount of power in each swing, so Overpower is nice to augment that. Plus you have a neat and aesthetically pleasing distribution of perks (all +6's except for one +3 Discipline). Not the best for potential DPS, not the most skillful loadout, but it does some decent work, and you don't really need to put too much mind power into running it, since Skullforge basically gives infinite stamina, and Iceborne basically gives infinite health.
