I was playing sonny lately and when i got to android guard he killed me easily. What gear/skills should i use to beat him. The issue if you didn't know was the shield.
Ah almost forgot, i am a level 21 psycho my skill build apparently focus on damage over time. Oh while im at it i perfer roald over felicity, i cannot spell those names so they may be incorrect.
Just consider the cyborg the same as any other enemy. All the shielding does is increase it's hit points (Basically, it technically doesn't show that it does, but the shield itself has a certain amount of hit points before it breaks.)
Epiphany with Dark Infusion over and over again will take him out, (Or with Dark Echo used prior to that if you really feel like it, I never used Dark Echo) Just take it out like you would any other enemy. You should be using Free Will to counter the negative effects of Overdrive (And protecting against the cyborg's damage)
If you have seen the town council members, you want their gear, especially the "Wrath of the Council" they drop. The mayor's bodywear and headgear (Only) are better, but you haven't fought the mayor yet.
If you aren't to the council members, just get the best Instinct based gear you can get and the law binder.
Remember, the shield can be broken if it receives enough damage.
You should re-spec and get 3/3 Shock Therapy and 4/4 Charged Blood. If you have decent instinct, hopefully it'll hit a critical and bust the shield. Training fights also will help.
everyone, DO let him recast his shield while it's not expired, there's a glitch that does not increase shield HP if it is recast with buff still active.
bios don't actually have difficulties with him, if your a strength bio (Destroy etc), just hammer him like anyone else, and first put down his buddies, lower one first. If your a poison bio, just hammer him again, Sample Blood, Toxicant form, Infect-Infect-Infect, there. Also 21 is abit too early to face him, get 22 first then dress anew.
Bios have no trouble at all. The Android shield is the same as Captain Hunt's shield three stages earlier minus the stun. With the right build you can bust open Cpt. Hunt's shield in one hit, so I don't see why you can't bust open the guard's shield the same way.
