Sandevistan Blade Build · Sandevistan Deadeye Build

This post covers the best Sandevistan build for Cyberpunk 2077. The Sandevistan operating system allows users to slow down time. This unlocks numerous possibilities on how to engage in combat. I will go through a few suggested builds. You can make any type of weapon, but I would like to give a few powerful ones that I prefer.

Conclusion

Sandevistan Blade Build

With the new update, the builds may change as new perks and equipment combinations are found.

The first power fantasy that comes to mind when slowing down time and using your Blade to chip away at enemies one by one, while they are barely able to turn around. With Sandevistan that is possible. With the perk we take the build will be a deadly warrior that unleashes flurries of Katana hits.

sandevistan blade build combat showcase cyberpunk 2077

We will be dipping a lot into Cyberware-related perks. Our goal is to have the lowest cooldown for Sandevistan possible and the highest duration. Moreover, some of the cyberware that we use like Axolotl and Apogee Sandevistan uses tons of cyberware capacity. For this reason, we need to be smart with what we take.

The build is tested on Very Hard difficulty, which is my preferred playstyle and ensures that the build is effective

Attributes Starting Game

Here are what attributes we should be taking at the start of the game.

Reflexes +3. Will give a boost to critical chance. But more importantly, will allow getting 9th-level perks very soon
Body +3. Some HP bonus, and the perks form this tree will be the second priority
Technical Ability +1. We will be getting this attribute later on, for now enjoy the bonus to armor

End Game Attributes

Here is the goal of Sandevistan Blade Build that we should reach at level 50. This will leave 3 attribute points free, put them where you prefer.

Attribute	Allocation	Description
Reflexes	20	For Sandevistan Build I recommend high Reflexes. They will give a bonus duration of 0.1s per 1 point.
Body	15	We get a decent amount of Body to increase our HP pool.
Technical Ability	15	This is an important attribute that gives armor and unlocks perks to improve Cyberware Capacity. We also want Extended Warranty to get a longer duration for our Sandevistan
Cool	15	This will give us a huge boost to critical damage and unlock perks related to perks if you wish to dip into them
Intelligence	3	We skip this attribute as we do not use anything

Leveling Progression Summary

To improve the build understanding and give you some direction here is recommended leveling progression. Use it more as a guideline to create your Sandevistan Blade build. Once you start "Feeling" your playstyle you can deviate and pick your own perks to better suit your style!

Perks

Let's go through the perks of the Sandevistan Build. We will go through about 55~ perk points for the build, and the base game awards about 65. So some should be left to adjust the build to your needs.

Reflexes Perks

sandevistan stealth blade build reflexes perks cyberpunk 2077

Level 4 Perks

Perk	Description
Slippery	Base perk, that we will need to progress to other levels
Parkour!	Because we are melee focused build vaulting faster through obstacles can result in the enemy dead a second earlier. Moreover, it will be a lifesaver when you are running with low health.

After this, a lot of new perks open up

Level 9 Perks

Perk	Description
Lead and Steel	This is an awesome mechanic that allows us to block incoming bullets. Be sure that enemies are attacking you only from one side, as it does not work if we are shot from the back
Bullet Deflect	You can now redirect bullets back to enemies. This is very useful as you both deal damage and stagger enemies, giving you an opportunity to jump on them.
Dash	Another new perk that gives a short dash to avoid or get close to the enemies.
Mad Dash	Doubles the distance if dashing directly to an enemy
Seeing Double	Although the perk may not be useful, we want to take it to unlock Flash and Thunderclap.
Flash and Thunderclap	A strong attack will now do a jump that closes the distance.
Can't Touch This	A 100% mitigation chance while dodging is very valuable. This will give you a higher chance of reaching an enemy if you are under heavy fire.

The next set of Perks

Level 15 Perks

Perk	Description
Air Dash	Extremely cool and effective move that allows dashing in air.
Finisher: Bladerunner	Finishers are mandatory, especially on higher difficulties. They give you a brief time of invulnerability, instantly destroy the enemy, and restore health. With a few more upgrades it will increase attack speed.
Opportunist	You want to make Finishers as effective as possible
Flash of Steel	Gives a huge boost to attack speed after a Finisher
Going the Distance	The biggest drawback of melee weapons is distance. Well with this perk it is somewhat alleviated.

The final tier of perks

Level 20 Perks

Perk	Description
Slaughterhouse	Mandatory perk for any Blade-wielding build. Makes it easier to activate Finisher and regain stamina.
Tailwind	I would leave this perk optional. Put a point after you have everything else covered related to Healing, Katanas, and Cyberware

Technical Ability Perks

sandevistan blade build technical ability perks cyberpunk 2077

Starting the build with

Level 4 Perks

Perk	Description
Glutton for War	Faster health item restoration after each kill

For the pro tier, we go for

Level 9 perks

Perk	Description
Health Freak	3rd health item will give huge survivability increase.
All Things Cyber	Mandatory perk as we will need as much Cyberware as we can. Reduces its costs for Skeleton and Integumentary System
Renaissance Punk	With this build, we will have 4 attributes above 9, so definitely worth taking it.

The next set of Perks

Level 15 Perks

Perk	Description
License to Chrome	Additional cyberware slot and higher stat modifiers. We also want this for progression to get the next perks.
Extended Warranty	The increased duration is useful for Sandevistan
Cyborg	I would leave this perk for later. It will take a lot of farming to have high Cyberware Capacity to fill all the slots, so do not prioritize this perk.
Built Different	This is an optional perk. However, Cellular Adapter cyberware looks to be very strong and gives a huge boost to Armor

Body Perks

We are interested in Body for its access to health regeneration perks. They will be extremely useful during combat. Moreover, the early game of Cyberpunk 2077 can be difficult with limited healing options.

sandevistan blade build body perks cyberpunk 2077

Level 4 Perks

Perk	Description
Painkiller	With the recent 2.0 patch, I think this perk is mandatory for any build. Especially early game healing is sparse, so to be able to regenerate in combat is a good quality of life improvement
Comeback Kid	Seems an obvious choice, who does not want higher health regen closer to death?
Army of One	Similar to other body perks, being in close combat will always result in enemies surrounding you, this just takes advantage of that to give higher health regen.
Dorph-head	Blood Pump is one of the mandatory cyberware for the build, and getting a 100% mitigation chance is great

The next tier of perks

Level 15 Perks

Perk	Description
Adrenaline Rush	Drastically increases your survivability, by giving a second layer of HP. This will activate any time we use a healing item. For this reason, I recommend having Blood Pump, especially in the late game.
Calm Mind	Totally optional perk. Because you will be under constant fire, the three seconds may never come. Pick this perk once you have everything else covered
Juggernaut	20% movement speed and 10% damage while Adrenaline Rush is active? Let's go
Unstoppable Force	Optional perk, that improves resistances against knockdowns.

Cool Perks (Stealth option)

Investing in cool will give us some synergies for our build. First, it will give improvements to stealth that we can utilize to take down a few enemies. Moreover, we can use this together with Sandevistan to sneak on the enemy, kill them, and gain even higher duration, for more kills.

Regarding Throwing Blades, I think it is optional. This is just a ranged option that I think fits the build thematically. Moreover, you can easily take down enemies in Sandevistan while Throwing Blades and greatly increase its duration effect.

sandevistan stealth blade build cool perks cyberpunk 2077

Level 4 Perks

Perk	Description
Feline Footwork	Improves crouching, allowing for better sneaking
Blind Spot	This will increase the time it takes enemies to detect you. I think it may be optional on easy but on Very Hard it is mandatory for any stealth build.
Killer Instinct	Throwing Knives deal more damage from stealth? Sign me up
Quick Getaway	This one is optional. Higher movement speed is great, but not really mandatory when stealthing

After this, a lot of new perks open up

Level 9 perks

Perk	Description
Scorpion Sting	Faster recovery and applied poison are good bonuses. Moreover, with the next upgrades it will become even more powerful
Accelerated Toxin Absorption	Now if you carry two throwing knives, using them one after another (with headshots) will deal substantial damage from Poison.
Neurotoxin	Bleeding will help with Katana finishers and Blinding is a good effect by itself against enemies with guns.
Corrosion	Easier to combat mechs with Throwing Knives

The next set of Perks

Level 15 perks

Perk	Description
Ninjutsu	Gives a huge mobility boost when stealthing. You can easily run through enemies and they will not even notice you.
Creeping Death	Improvements to Optical Camo cyberware
Serpentine	Higher mitigation chance will also decrease the likelihood of detection from Blind Spot
Juggler	Gives bonus damage and most importantly you can now chain-throwing knives if you successfully neutralize targets
Sleight of Hand	This allows for making amazing combos with Katana. use Throwing Knife on a weak enemy that will die and follow up with Katana and 20% increased critical damage.
Finisher: Act of Mercy	Finishers are always welcome
Pounce	What makes this good is that now if an enemy is Elite, you can just throw two knives and finish them off with a finisher.

Sandevistan Deadeye Build

Who does not imagine themselves activating Sandevistan, equipping a pistol + suppressor, and slowly, one by one removing enemies? The time returns to normal and all the bodies fall to the floor. Your heavy cyberware body is ready for another Sandevistan now with two Elites coming your way. You equip a Sniper Rifle, activate Sandy and in two seconds, both of them lie on the ground.

sandevistan deadeye combat showcase build cyberpuk 2077

This is how it feels running a Deadeye build. The build relies on precision and landing headshots so that once the time returns to normal enemies are gone. For this, we will go deep into Cool Tree, which gives stealth-related perks and improves weapons like Sniper Rifles, Precision Rifles, and pistols.

Of course, for this build to shine, you will need to put the effort into landing headshots and weak spots, unfortunately without this, the damage falls off heavily and you will not be able to sustain Sandevistan for a long time. You need to neutralize the enemies so that the cooldown of Sandevistan falls down.

So let's jump into it!
