Punch Club 2: Fast Forward – Best Build for Way of the Lazy Bear

Best Lazy Bear Build

Blocking and dodging uses up stamina in this game. For Desperado character, you should build around stamina since that’s one of his strengths. You’ll want skills that work against blocking enemies.

While Smasher style is good against blocks, it doesn’t have many passive skill slots. If you have access to Berserker style, use that instead.

Pick one strategy: either make blocks fail or do damage through blocks. Don’t try to do both at once – it won’t work as well.

The defensive skill that increases your opponent’s initiative cost higher is better if your opponent uses a lot of single initiative point skills, while the damage reflection skills get better when your opponent has lower health. With regards to attacks, it’s usually better to use lower cost stuff like jab unless you’re up against another bear user.

Bear builds want more stamina than agility: Bear skills are efficient with initiative, not stamina. You might still run out of stamina and need to leave attack slots empty. It can be worthwhile to dip into the turtle tree for the stamina recovery skill since bear doesn’t get any.

If you have the gpp for it, you can even take stat boosters at 25 strength, grab the late game skills you want from further up the tree, and then switch focus to stamina and agility., since strength builds benefit less from their main stat than the other two paths.
