Daryl w/ Rocket Launcher

Has anyone rebuilt Daryl's traits to complement the rocket launcher? Retaliate is useless with it equipped and Defensive Stance is as well considering you get no benefit from Overwatch. How'd it work out... any regrets? What are the best traits to try for during re-rolls? Thanks.

    The usual setup with the rocket launcher is Sasha in lead with two bruisers. I don’t see why you would want hunter Daryl using it.

    I can guarantee you that no one wasted their time doing that.

    However, for fun let's come up with the best combo for RPG Daryl.

    You are correct that Defensive Stance, and Retaliate are useless. Revenge, Vigilant (no overwatch attacks), and Ruthless (no charge attack) will also be useless. Defensive traits on hunters is usually undesirable, so no Dodge, Iron Skin, or Bullet Dodge. That leaves us with:

    Marksman
    Critical Aim
    Sure Shot
    Lucky

    Maybe use Daryl as an Outpost Defender with Iron Skin, Dodge, Lucky, and Marksman?

    But, it seems a waste to use ReRoll tokens for someone you’ll never use in the game. Dwight might be a better candidate for Outpost defense with the RPG. Just dump Retaliate for something useful and you are done.

    I play a lot of outpost missions, mainly to satisfy the daily, kill X number of walkers with blank, use blank in x number of missions, etc. And, at no time has any outpost defender ever been able to hurt me with the rocket launcher. I would say maybe 1 out of 25 times they even get to fire it since I go in on my first attack to stun and outright kill anyone carrying a rocket launcher. I would consider it a complete waste of time to even use it in outpost defense.

    Using Daryl and Dwight in outpost defense is another matter since they both have retaliate which can ruin an outpost attackers day unless they can stun on the their opening attack. I use Dwight in the lead and Daryl and Rick as my defenders simply because each has retaliate and besides what else are you going to use them for?

    I was playing around with him trying to squeeze SOME kind of usefulness out of him (beyond the OP fodder mentioned above).

    He needs critical aim obviously but I've not rolled it yet.

    The above video is with a gold silent rifle.

    Leader trait 32% silence
    Gold silence 40%
    Survivor lucky 20%
    Weapon lucky 15%

    Amounts to:
    ((32+40)(0.2 + 0.15)) + (32+40) = 97.2% silent

    Rifle is:
    -gold Piercing
    -gold Silent
    -silver Lucky

    Entire build is dedicated to silent so you lose power (no destructive) and you lose fire (no Incendiary) and of course you lose area (no large caliber).

    Is it useful?

    Ehhh... Not really? I guess I could irritate some high level walkers if I wanted to without causing a threat :wink: lol

    Now if they released a crossbow that had bonus 4th and 5th traits to include some of those traits meationed above....?

    Might be cool.

    (Full disclaimer I do NOT recommended wasting precious reroll tokens on Hunter Daryl. I had a shit ton and was bored.)

    Badges are:
    x3 damage
    x2 crit chance
    x1 crit damage

    Edit... I changed some badges cuz I did the math and he had something like 117% crit chance. Lol.

    So now
    Damage x3
    Crit chance x1
    Crit damage x2

    Crit chance is now just over 90% with that weapon equipped.

    Decided what the hell, tokens just laying around anyway.

    Rerolled for critical aim.

    Here's two videos, one with Sasha lead, the other with Alpha lead.

    Silent factor holds up pretty good, for what it's worth.

    My goal, if it wasn't clear, with 90% crit chance, nearly every non-body-shot is a critical hit.

    So essentially he either crits (with respectable chance at stun boosted by +35% lucky) or he body shots.

    There not often he gets a "normal" hit.

    And 97.2% silent insures he's not racking up the spawn counter.

    48.6% chance to stun on crits assuming lucky affects CA? I can't recall for sure.

    Still, lacking the ability to light fires or get big charge damage is a huge negative, but maybe he finds a home in some missions. We'll see.

    Lol I know I'm totally talking to myself here and totally jacked this dude's thread but...

    For Daryl to truly become relevant he needs a better signature weapon.

    I suggested one here:
    https://forums.nextgames.com/walkingdead/discussion/comment/406688#Comment_406688

    But honestly, I think it needs fire too.

    Silent
    Fire
    Piercing
    Lucky
    +(damage boost or improved area)

    If you build it, I will buy it @Vane

    Thanks for the tips, might consider investing in Daryl too, since I also got some reroll tokens to spend...

    I read through your vids and explanation @ATLAS-Z . Very dedicating and informative I would say.

    The fact that you just get bored scares me quite a bit when I get to the end game. But it will take quite some time so it is fine for now lol.

    @ATLAS-Z I used Daryl with 100% (gold lucky instead of silver) on Terminus MM couple of challenges ago.
