However, customizing mech stats isn't always straightforward. You need to figure out which armor sets pair well with each weapon and understand how each skill can offset a build's weaknesses.

This Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion guide will help you understand Arsenal stats and learn how to use them to create specialized builds. To start, here's what each Arsenal performance indicator means and how it affects your build.

Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Loadouts and Builds Explained

daemon-x-machina-titanic-scion-build-explained

Each Arsenal consists of three core components: Armor, Loadout, and Skills. Adjusting these elements changes the Arsenal's performance, reflected in Durability, Mobility, Brawling, Shooting, and Fuel Consumption.

  • Armor: The exterior of an Arsenal, made up of five pieces: Head, Body (cuirass), Left Arm, Right Arm, and Legs.
  • Loadout: The weapons and gadgets. Each loadout can hold up to four weapons, one shoulder gun, and one Auxiliary item.
  • Skills: Also called Fusion Factors in Titanic Scion. Each Arsenal can equip one skill per weapon, one General Action skill, and a limited number of Passive Skills.

To min-max an Arsenal build, you need to optimize all three areas. Adjustments can make it Durable, with high VP; Agile, with high Mobility and lower Femto consumption; or high-DMG, with above-average Brawling or Shooting performance.

Best Balanced Build & Loadout

Best Agility Build & Loadout

An agile build aims for A-level performance in Fuel Consumption and Mobility, and B-level performance in Brawling or Shooting, depending on the loadout's damage type. Melee-oriented loadouts should prioritize Brawling, while firearm-focused ones should boost Shooting.

Best Tank Build & Loadout

A tank build focuses on achieving A-level Durability by increasing the Arsenal's VP. It also needs to balance damage output (Brawling or Shooting) and Fuel Consumption.

The tricky part is that most heavyweight armor and weapons use a lot of memory and slow down the Arsenal. To create a functional tank build, you need to make the most of memory-consumption and weight-reduction Attachments.

Gladius + Gun Vambrace

The Importance of Attachments in Titanic Scion Builds

beginner guide for daemon x machina titanic scion.

Choosing the right armor and equipment is just the first step in creating an effective Arsenal. A key part of achieving your desired stats lies in fusing each item with the right Attachments.

Attachments are boosters specific to armor, weapons, and equipment. For example, a Memory Consumption Attachment reduces the amount of memory an item uses in the Arsenal.

To maximize each build's output, you need to optimize its stats with Attachments. For a Heavyweight armor set, use Weight Reduction Attachments. For an Agility-focused build, boost Femto Capacity with the appropriate boosters.

By paying Civetta at the Base, you can unlock a feature that lets you add more Attachments to each item. Use this to open at least three slots for every item in your Arsenal and fill them with high-level Attachments.

Tips for Creating the Best Builds in Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion

attachments in daemon x machina titanic scion.
  • Check your build's weaknesses: Each Arsenal has specific downsides, like lower dodge speed or higher fuel consumption. View these in the Hangar under the information tab on the right. Use Attachments to compensate for them.
  • Don't worry about appearance: You can customize the exterior in the customization menu to make it look however you want. (More on customization options in our Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion beginner's tip.)
  • Use different loadouts for different purposes: An Agility-focused build works well for exploration, a Tank is ideal for farming Boss Enemies, and a Balanced build is best for completing the campaign.
