I want some help with a Cyberdeck build

Help

I just started my second play through and I wanted to play as a Netrunner this time. With that being said, I had a few questions about what stats to prioritise.

I play on Hard, so I’d like answers relevant to that please.

I think Intelligence at Lvl 20 is a no-brainer, but I’m unsure about other stats.

I know that higher end Netrunner builds use Overclock, so health items and Adrenaline Rush are really good, but I’m wondering if Lvl 20 Body stat is needed. The Lvl 20 perk Pain to Gain seems really good, but is it worth 5 stat points?

Likewise, Lvl 20 Tech is really good for the Edgerunner perk, but I’m doubtful if I’ll need it for a Cyberdeck build and it also reduces your Max health by a lot per point over the limit, so maybe level 15 tech is still good enough?

For me personally, Air Dash is so much fun and is really strong, so I don’t think I’d be willing to give it up, but I wouldn’t need Lvl 20 Reflexes because the Tailwind perk isn’t necessarily, but maybe if I’m running a Smart Smg it might be good to have, plus the increased Crit Chance is good.

Finally Cool. Lvl 15 seems good enough, but tbh I’d rather have the other Stats and just use Optical Camo to make up for reduced stealth.

So far my Ideas for min-maxing stats are this.

  1. 20 Int, 20 Body, 20 Tech, 15 Reflexes, 6 Cool

  2. 20 Int, 15 Body, 15 Tech, 15 Reflexes, 15 Cool with 1 stat point left over

  3. 20 Int, 15 Body, 15 Tech, 20 Reflexes, 11 Cool

  4. 20 Int, 20 Body, 15 Tech, 15 Reflexes, 11 Cool
