My Lynx build for beating Mythic Storm King

PSA/GUIDE

I know everyone's builds are different from mine, but here's the build that I use for what I think works the best in my play style and in all consideration of every variable and RNG that we encounter and endure in the Mythic Storm King fight. This is my most optimal build.

Commander: Lynx Kassandra - Hang Time + (Using Kunai Storm grants hover over 4 seconds. Increases Damage by 140% during hover.)

Team Perk: Preemptive Strike

Supports:

Bomb Suit (or Saurian Hide, Medical Fumes, or Fleet) - BombSquad Kyle (or Prehistoric Izza, Alchemist Sarah, or Fleetfoot Ken)

Assault Damage - Rescue Trooper Havoc

Assault Crit Damage - Tactical Assault Sledgehammer

Faster Explosions - Demolitionist Penny

Hardware Crit Rating - Guardian Bull

Weapons:

De-Atomizer 9000 brightcore: energy, crit damage, heat capacity, crit damage, crit rating

Bundlebus sunbeam: crit rating, reload speed, physical, crit damage, crit damage

Surround Pound sunbeam: crit damage, crit rating, physical, attack speed, crit damage

Gadgets: adrenaline rush, and stationary hover turret

Rocket launcher for the epic mini-boss, mobs, takers/blasters; Assault rifle for the crystal weak points and taker/blasters; and Hardware for the horns.

Craft and use campfires to heal yourself.

Use your Kunai Storm to hover in the air for 4 seconds and hit your shots on his weak points to deal the highest amount of damage you can.

All heroes and guns are legendary, level 130, and all of the perks on the guns are legendary. Gadgets are maxed out. I'm pl 131.

Hope this build helps someone out. Feel free to change things around so it suits your play style.

Just beat it an hour ago, at 2:30 AM CST, Friday, November 22nd, with people I met on the fortnite discord. Took us 2 hours and a half. We were 3 lynx, and 1 soldier with war cry. Pl 131, 131, 131, and 122. I got the pistol, the other three got sword, sword, and hammer.

I understand why people use the De-Atomizer, but it's locked to energy. Would a SLH perked for max damage and physical not also be a good choice? Seems like it would kill the bosses faster

You could try it. It takes a different kind of ammo, and takes too long to reload after you use all of your shots. I have both launchers at max and legendary perk'd and the De-Atomizer 9000 you can spam as much as you can without having to worry about reloading or having a cool down. If we have to look at efficiency and effectiveness, De-Atomizer 9000 is overall a better choice.

I also thought this...but what he's saying about the reload time is correct, it's too long for the almost wafer thin margins of timing you get for the MSK

Tik Tak also pointed out in one of his vids that it tends to bounce the mini bosses around with the explosions, which is valid, they can be difficult enough to get a shot at as it is, if you are bouncing them under the platforms it's just harder still to take them down.

I'm still grinding for this, after so many hours it sucks failing at the second phase.

PlayaSkillOP:archaeolo-jess: Archaeolo-Jess•

Rip your mats and resources. You guys gotta keep what you were doing in the first phase and repeat it. Just gotta have that one perfect game and you guys beat it.

DesktopDrips:shamrockreclaimer: Staredown Southie•

Think I might just wait until people improve at the fight. Playing with randoms for hours is exhausting haha.

We definitely have to play again though, spotless 140 hit the road was awesome.

2
PlayaSkillOP:archaeolo-jess: Archaeolo-Jess•

Yeah, and expensive too. Soooo many ammos being crafted and mats being built. It depletes all your stuff man.

And I know man, I haven't forgotten. You messaged me on Xbox to hit you up for mythic sk, and I didn't even have the kill 2 epic mini-bosses in a 140+ mission done at the time. The next day I was full blown all-in or nothing on the Mythic Storm King because I wanted to beat that first before I do anything else. I totally forgot about you because I didn't know if you were online or not and was still down to do it. I was determined to get it done that night. Getting people off of the discord and going at it. Everyone hit me up after I beat it lol. Now I'm doing dungeons and farming 4 players until the next week's reset. We did HTR with no coms too half-way to the end lol.

No worries my guy, and yeah losing coms at the end was crazy scary. I'm always down for some grinding so if you need anyone I am all in.

Well done commander! How’s the pistol btw?

2
PlayaSkillOP:archaeolo-jess: Archaeolo-Jess•

Thank you!! I spent over 5 hours the night before with people I met in pubs and we barely got to the first horn. The pistol is amazing!! I have it re-perked to crit damage, crit rating, physical, crit damage, and damage. It consumes energy ammo even though I have it on physical. There's no mag in it, so you don't ever have to reload. You can constantly keep firing until all your energy ammo in your inventory is gone. The stability and recoil is solid, and the damage is amaaaazing. The best pistol in the game (obviously, since it's mythic). Perfect for a BeetleJess build.

Yep Beetle Jess is already great with last word and jack’s revenge, this thing will take her to another level. Thanks and have fun!

Why preemptive strike?

2
PlayaSkillOP:archaeolo-jess: Archaeolo-Jess•

Didn't really have any other team perk that suited me. I also think of the blasters and takers and little mobs who are at full health that just spawned, or straggling around, or haven't been hit yet when I shoot at them with my De-Atomizer 9000 or Bundlebuss.

Edit: you could use the team perk blast from the past, but you would need to switch some support heroes up. Like I said in my post before, feel free to change up the build to fit your play style.

Can you help us out

where do i find preemptive strike? i dont see it under team perks, but i am only PL70, gotta prepare early

1
PlayaSkillOP:archaeolo-jess: Archaeolo-Jess•

Preemptive Strike is a team perk obtained through owning Raven. It makes it so that it increases damage by (6.5%) against full health enemies. It takes into effect with heroes of Epic rarity or higher rarity with at least 4 stars.

You could opt in for the team perk 'Blast From The Past' instead which removes your shields and doubles your health and switch out either Assault Damage (or Assault Crit Damage) or Faster Explosions in your support for Saurian Might because it requires 2 dinosaur heroes for it to activate. Saurian Claws, "Adds 5.5% of Current Health to Melee Weapon Damage" doesn't work for the horns. It only applies to husks. Horns are considered an environment. Certain hardwares and axes (and maybe a sword) have a hidden stat where they do environmental damage and that's needed in dealing damage to the horns. Knowing this that is why they are the most sought out as a melee weapons for the Mythic Storm King fight.

Feel free to change around some stuff that works best for you.

Any suggestions for a weapon other than surround pound? I don't have it unfortunately.

Thanks btw for the build.

2
PlayaSkillOP:archaeolo-jess: Archaeolo-Jess•

Have someone craft you one. People (me) will be more than happy to craft one of them for you. You can opt in for Smasher Basher or Wicked Wind (it hits very slow, what I was using previously and upgraded to the Surround Pound). They're really good for damaging the horns.

You're welcome.
