Cyberpunk 2077 allows an incredible amount of flexibility in how you may build your character. It’s just as viable to dump all of your points into a single Attribute and its Perks as it is to spread them out for a Jack of All Trades approach. Heck, you could even even build your V to be the same as the characters from the hit Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime. If that last option sounds enticing, we’re here to help with a guide onhow to build Lucy from Edgerunners in Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077 Lucy Build Guide
Whereas buildingKiwimight entail making character that’s strictly Intelligence and Quickhack focused, a Lucy build is a little more nuanced. Quickhacking is only a part of your arsenal, with stealth and the Monowire Cyberware playing heavily into your available gameplay options.
To that end, we’ve broken down what you need to do to make this build and maximize its effectiveness. We’ve also incorporated Perks and gear tied to the 2.0 updates and the Phantom Liberty DLC, so you can be sure your build will make use of every available bit of content tied to the game.
Best Lifepath for Lucy Build
Kicking things off is which Lifepath you should pick for a Lucy build in Cyberpunk 2077.
While Lucy might seem closer to the Streetkid option based on Lucy’s involvement with Maine’s crew, the Corpo option falls in line more with her past as an Arasaka Netrunner. Selecting this option likewise opens up some special dialogue options you can use to manipulate corporate characters and navigate issues with the ruthlessness of a Corp exec.
Best Weapons, Cyberware, and Gear for Cyberpunk Edgerunners Lucy Build in Cyberpunk 2077
Two important features of Lucy that fans of Edgerunners will appreciate are that she is a Netrunner and a master of the Monowire weapon, so we’ll be basing our builds around these core elements.
Best Cyberware
Your first port of call is the get the essential pieces of Cyberware needed for your build. Most all of these should be available at lower Tiers once you reach the Heist main story mission, and better versions will become available as you progress further into the game.
Best Weapons
Outside of the Monowire, you’ll also need at least a few ranged weapons you can use to incapacitate enemies who are too far away for melee attacks.
Given you’ll be putting a solid amount of points into the Cool Attribute, you may’t go wrong with a handgun or revolver. In addition to being fantastic for scoring headshots that can one hit kill enemies, the handguns can be fitted with silencers to ensure you don’t immediately blow your cover in stealth segments.
Best Clothes and Armor
Clothes haven’t played as much of a role in Armor ever since the 2.0 update, and there aren’t any specific pieces of Lucy’s clothing you can find in Cyberpunk 2077. While this is a bit of a bummer, this means you can wear whatever you like and still be sticking as closely to a Lucy Build as possible.
We would, however, personally recommend equipping headsets or helmets which improve your Quickhack speed or effect duration. Doing so ensures you can maximize the effectiveness of your Quickhacks, and your Cyberware
Best Attribute Point Distribution for Lucy Build
Next up are the attributes you should dump your points into for a Lucy Build in Cyberpunk 2077.
Since we know from the show that Lucy is a master Netrunner, it would make sense to build your V around Intelligence first and foremost. Doing so comes with a boost to your total Ram too, with five points added to your overall amount after you hit the maximum of 20.
You will also need max out Reflexes to make sure you can use the Monowire and your Cyberware to its utmost potential, with Cool following close behind. This in turn will increase your Critical Hit chance and Critical Hit damage, causing your overall damage output to go through the roof.
The rest of your points should then be split between Body or Technical Ability, though we’d lean toward Body for its Max HP bonuses and health regeneration Perks.
Best Perks for Lucy Build in Cyberpunk 2077
As for the Perks you’ll need to select, they’re fairly straight-forward.
In general, you’ll be putting the majority of your Perk Points toward abilities found in the Intelligence and Reflexes Perk trees. These will bolster your capabilities when it comes to Quickhacks and the use of the Monowire, but can also open up new effects and buffs that will turn you into a whirling ball of death on the battlefield.
Otherwise, you can distribute your remaining points based on your specific playstyle. If you’re more aggressive and lean heavily on the Monowire, then you’d likely find the Body Perks to be useful for ensuring your survival. If stealth is more your style, then the Perks from the Cool category will do you just fine.
Intelligence
Best Relic Perks for Lucy Build
Though not as intensive as selecting your base Perks, there are some specific Relic Perks you’ll want to choose if you’re building Lucy in Cyberpunk 2077.
Specifically, you’ll want to select Jailbreak and then Data Tunneling. Doing so allows you to spread Quickhacks to enemies you hit with your Monowire, which can drastically increase your damage dealt overall while inflicting effects that can debuff your foes rapidly.
Best Skills to Progress for Lucy Build in Cyberpunk 2077
Last but not least, there are the Skills you should progress to make the most of your Lucy build.
While gaining abilities tied to the majority of the Skill trees is beneficial, the Netrunner tree should be your priority. The increases to RAM and Quickhack abilities will be incredibly useful to your character, and will give you that last push toward becoming an indomitable force of hacking.
