Hitman Zane build overview

Hitman Zane is a very mobile and fast paced build centered around kill skill activations and Action Skill End Anointments to create a looping sequence of multiple buffs that greatly empower the player, offering a high risk high reward playstyle that excels at mobbing and can be adapted for quick boss killing.

1.1.

Strengths

  • Great at dealing with groups of enemies, especially the Circle of Slaughter.
  • Suited for mid-close range combat.
  • Skill resets (especially clone) allow for aggressive playstyle but offer some safety at the same time.
  • Good sustain when played correctly.
1.2.

Weaknesses

  • Reliant on good weapons in order to tackle on the hardest content.
  • Some weapons may require some form of finesse and thought in order to best utilize them, making the spec a bit difficult to perform with, while learning.
  • Action on Skill End anointments on weapons/shield/grenade mod slots are somewhat required for the build to perform at its best.
