[BUILD] Asari Duelist One Hit Melee Kill Build with some Math

Goal: build the asari duelist so the asari sword will OHK any redbar in the game and 2HK annointed/anarchist level enemies. Without the use of boosters you will have to briefly tap backlash before each melee to accomplish this which activates biotic warrior.

Build:

• Offensive Biotics: Power Efficiency, Weapons and Melee, Biotic Warrior
  
• Barrier Unyielding, Barrier Drain, Saving Barrier
  
• Backlash: Recharge, Either, Either. 
  
• Charge: either, Weapons and Melee, Bastion

Equipment: Jugg Shield and Melee Mod X on a shotgun/pistol.

We don’t get much use of ranks 5 and 6 of backlash unless you run into a pickle and use your backlash for longer which does happen....but I don’t think rank 6 Damage is activating if you tap it and don’t take any damage but I am not 100% certain. So theoretically you could go lance to 4 (see solutions below).

The math: The AD has a base melee = 740 and we need to get to 2375 (per numerical handbook) to OHK any redbar in the game and be able to 2HK an anointed/anarchist. So 740 * (1 + x) = 2375 which means that we need to add 221% (x) extra melee damage to accomplish our goal.

Barrier gives us 30% (rank 3) and 50% (rank 5), offensive biotics gives us 15% (rank 3) and 30% (rank 5) for a total of 125%. The juggernaut shield gives us 15% and the shotgun melee X attachment gives us 33% for a total of 173%. We need to come up with 48% more melee damage to accomplish our goal.

Solution #1 Tapping backlash for an instant before each melee should activate biotic warrior and give you 50% more melee damage allowing you to OHK any redbar in the game and 2HK an annointed. You should be able to 2HK an Anarchist, Agent and Sabatuer as well (armor = 4750)
Solution #2 Use a strength enhancer III (45%) and a Universal Power Amp 2 (10%). No backlash tapping necessary.
Solution #3 use a strength enhancer III 45%) and a Ruzad with extra melee damage (10%)
Solution #4 use a ruzad, strength enhancer 2 and universal power amp 2.
Solution #5 obviously a level IV melee amp will work but who has lots of these?

Solution#1 will not work with a hurricane (29% melee damage) as you end up 2% short and the enemy will have a sliver of health left. Solution 2 will work with a hurricane/pistol and melee amp.

Recommended solution: depends on your booster situation but two is probably the preferable one as it will work with any shotgun and pistol. Alternatively, you could just utilize Solution 1 with a lower level strength enhancer 1 or universal power amp 1 and some elemental ammo with a hurricane! Now you can prime and detonate with lance (which can go to 4 if you put backlash to 4) and detonate with your charge and still tap backlash for OHK melee damage of any redbar. I max backlash and skip the priming as its useful vs remnant and ascendant bubbles. 

Just for hahas….Suppose we put on a Ruzad, Strength Enhancer III and Universal Power Amp III and charge into armor and then tap backlash before a melee: = 323% extra damage = 4.23 x 740 = 3130.2 for the melee. The charge will do 275 x (1+ 1.10 +25 …took effenciency) = 646 damage.

A bersekerker has a health of 14250 (
Charge into it, tap backlash then melee = 10, 473.8 health
Tap Backlash and Melee = 7408 health.
Tap Backlash and Melee = 4342.8
Charge into it, tap backlash then melee = 566.6
Ruzad shot??? 4 melees and a ruzad shot for a gold berserker in isolation.

I'll post video later.
