Neutral/Bleed Gilick

BREEDING

This guide assumes you understand how to breed for a 5x20 stat pet already.
you cannot splice neutral element pets which is required to have your attacks inflict bleed. therefore you must have one of the parents be an already spliced 5x20 Gilick with all of the correct parts and perks and breed that with a neutral element Gilick. eventually you will get a neutral element Gilick with the correct body parts and perks.

BODY PARTS

As you dive deeper into abyss the enemies gain more damage reduction eventually reducing all of your hits to 1 damage. therefore it is more worthwhile to spend your body parts increasing either your defense or mobility rather than damage.

PERK INTERACTIONS

The reason we jump through all of these hoops for bleed is so that we can make use of the perk "Fatal wound" which effectively halves all enemy health (including bosses)

we couple this with the perk "Transfusion" which heals us for 25% of our damage which solves our need for sustain.

To sustain stamina we take advantage of "tractor Beams" a perk that links us to nearby enemies increasing our stamina recovery per enemy affected up to three enemies concurrently. This allows for near infinite attacking during boss fights rendering us effectively immortal. You must stay close to the enemies to benefit from your tractor beams.

CATALYZERS

The catalyzers you use get calculated top-down so the order in which you place them matters. You want to have any -% effects such as -50% health from Armoured core to get calculated before the +400 health from Reinforced Vitality.

True neutral provides a 400% damage increase with zero downside as we already deal no elemental damage.

For our fifth catalyzer we take Constant Barrage as it simply gives us both a nice reload speed increase and more fire rate for more sustain and damage.
