Ranger Builds – Anthem
Our Anthem Best Ranger Builds Guide details some of the best builds for Ranger javelin in Anthem.
Sheildbreaker Build
This build is excellent for taking out enemy shields. With this build, you can take out enemies by first eliminating their shields and then dealing additional damage to them. The Pulse Blast in this build is excellent for dealing pulse damage which is super effective against enemy shields. Before detonating with the Pulse Blast, you can use Frost Grenade to freeze and prime enemies.
Also this build is a little weak for crowd control. You will need to focus on one enemy and take them out so this build can be a little less effective if you are surrounded by enemies. Frost Grenade can freeze multiple enemies at the same time but the Pulse Blast can target one enemy with its rapid fire.
You will need the following loadout for this build.
- Frost Grenade (Grenade) – This will help you freeze enemies which will slow them down and prime them at the same time for easy targeting.
- Pulse Blast (Assault Gear) – Charge your shots and fire at enemies to detonate them and deal massive damage to their shields and enemies themselves as well.
- Muster Point (Support Gear) – This will increase your gun’s damage.
Frost Grenade and Pulse Blasts have less cooldown timers and also very effective when used together. Use them with any gun of your choice and you can take down enemies with ease. However, keep this thing in mind that you have to focus on a single enemy and take them out before moving on to the next one with this build.
You must use the following components for this build to increase the loadout’s combat effectiveness.
- Assault Augment – It increases assault launcher damage.
- Grenadier Inscription – This will increase your grenade’s recharge rate.
- Convergence Core – This will increase your impact damage but will decrease the blast damage.
These components will decrease the cooldown timers allowing you to use your primer and more in the battle. If you add Firearm Calibration Core in any empty slot, it will make your javelin suit even more versatile. Even if not in your slot, using the three components detailed above will greatly increase the damage and decrease the cooldown time.
Multi-Range Build
This Ranger build is focused on both middle and long range encounters. If you are against an enemy which is very deadly at close range, use this build to effectively take it down from either middle or long range depending on your preference. For this build, you will need the following loadout.
- Venom Darts (Assault Gear) – Venom Darts will prime enemies and they are super effective against armored and tougher enemies.
- Sticky Grenade (Grenade) – This will detonate your enemies from a safe distance and it can fly in a long straight line.
- Muster Point (Support Gear) – This will greatly increase your overall damage output in the battle.
Sticky Grenades are excellent detonators because they can travel a very long range in a straight line. Sticky Grenades when combined with Venom Darts are super effective against heavily armored enemies. Both Venom Darts and Sticky Grenades offer very decent range and they will help you a lot in keeping a safe distance from your enemies.
For further increasing the combat effectiveness of your build, use the following components along with it.
- Firearm Calibration Core – Increases weapon damage in combat
- Grenadier Inscription – Increases Grenade Recharge Rate allowing you to frequently use grenades in battle.
- Ranger Combo Augment – Increases damage dealt by your combos.
This exceptional build is very good if you love ranged combat. The components listed above will further increase the combat effectiveness of your main gear by both reducing cooldown timers and increasing damage dealt to enemies by grenades. Use this build to for Ranger and dominate the range game easily.
