I wish you a good day.

I am Ray and I am what some might say an experienced player of Black Ice with my 40-50 hours into it. Several 100+ chars on my account and still have a very enjoyable time (though with some podcasts etc. in the background) I already had the joy with the creator to talk via e-mail about progression scaling (linear vs. exponential) too, which was delightful. So consider this again a sort of feedback for the creator, and a guide for everyone on how to win this game without any effort.

Stats: Does not matter, whatever you prefer. (I gave 100 points Into Critical Hit Chance)
Best Item Bonus Stats: Hack Time - , Movement Speed + , Damage Reduction +
LMT: Weapon with high fire rate and high knockback (Hammer-thrower is the beast)
RMT: Any Hack Item That does not deal damage (High Range recommended)
Slot 1: Minion (Of choice) (Highest Possible Level)
Slot 2: Minion (Of choice) (Highest Possible Level)
Slot 3: Minion (Of choice) (Highest Possible Level)
Slot 4: Minion (Of choice) (Highest Possible Level)
Slot 5: Minion (Of Choice) (Highest Possible Level)
Shift: Health Recovery Item
Space Bar: Passive/EMP/Jetpack(broken at the moment?)/whatever you want


So what is the goal of the guide? You don't have to do anything. The early mid game (20-50) might be a little harder, but since your minions scale soo much more than enemies (above 75% of the 'supestrong but only few enemies' - servers), it is only a matter of time before you win in everything. But why is that?
Well, the minions gather all the attention of the enemies (due to their turn to the last damage source mentality), which won't spawn in massive quantities with the massively reduced hacktime. They survive for hours and hours on end and deal much more damage than you even with unique weapons. And even if one or 2 enemies might get your attention, you can easily move away since your are incredibly fast and push them back with your weapon. Damage Reduction helps if you should get hit, as well as your healing item.

How to use your build to the fullest potential? Phase 1: Stand behind your minions. Phase 2: ... Phase 3: Profit.

All truthful sarcasm aside, this is as far as I can tell the strongest I have ever been in Black Ice. So if you want to cheat/break the game, enjoy! (This must be rediculously OP in Multiplayer...) ( #YesIPlayedBorderlandsAndOverpoweredItAsWell )

Fix?


Edit 1.1 : No, Multiple Servers or Swarm Servers are NOT a problem by any means.
Edit 1.2: At about level 140 (server & minions), your minions will be of equal strength to the servers with only a few but the thoughest enemies. This is the point where you do not even have to resummon your minions anymore.
Edit: 1.3: Yes... it will start to take forever past the 150 level mark.

Edit: 2.1: Due to the current patches and Uber-nerfs of the minions, this guide is no longer viable.
