Daemon X Machina is a complex RPG game that rewards the players for knowing all about the game’s mechanics. To survive in the post-apocalyptic world and win complex battles, you must have the best armor pieces and weaponry.
This guide lists the 5 best Daemon X Machina builds that maximize character efficiency in damage, mobility, and durability according to different playstyles.
5. Advanced Melee
| Right Weapon | ZAW-S08S Habakiri |
| Left Weapon | HAW-X-BL12 Excalibur |
| Shoulder Weapon | Laser Blitz HAW-RF00 Rumble Order |
| Auxiliary Weapon | HAW-CF22 Chaff Flare |
| Right Pylon | SAW-R02S Astraeus II |
| Left Pylon | SAW-R01 Astraeus |
| Head | SAP-FB-H03 Flamberge |
| Body | SAP-CR-C01 Claymore |
| Processor | ZAP-BP-F02 Boost Up II |
| Right Arm | SAP-RD-R01 Radiant Gleam |
| Left Arm | SAP-RD-L01 Radiant Gleam |
| Legs | ZAP-RK-B03 Raikiri |
This is an advanced melee build that isn’t for everyone, but it is one of the best builds in the game. With the Raikiri legs, you get the highest landing speed, while the Radiant Gleam arms boost versatility with great defense when relying on bullet weapons. The Boost Up 2 processor gives incredible boost control and better stamina management. You might not have the fastest AC but will boost the longest.
The max chain attack of the right arm is 5, which means if timed correctly, you can have up to 5 chain attacks, which is perfect for fighting bosses and getting rid of groups of smaller enemies. If you don’t have Excalibur, you can replace it with Arondight, which boosts memory usage. The assault rifle on the right pylon gives you a high rate of fire with precision. This Daemon X Machina build has neutral durability, high ammunition, and mobility stats.
4. Perfectly Balanced
| Right Weapon | SAW-Ro2 Astraeus II |
| Left Weapon | HAW-C03F Ogre Break |
| Shoulder Weapon | SAW-RP95 Devotion |
| Auxiliary Weapon | HAW-CS09 Cooling System |
| Right Pylon | HAW-CL08 Salvation Ray |
| Left Pylon | HAW-X-BL99 Dainsleif |
| Head | SAP-LS-H01 Long Sword |
| Body | SAP-CR-C01 Claymore |
| Processor | ZAP-BP-F03 Boost Up III |
| Right Arm | SAP-RD-R01 Radiant Gleam |
| Left Arm | SAP-RD-L01 Radiant Gleam |
| Legs | SAP-HB-B01 Halberd |
The Long Sword head protects you against bullets, while body armor increases flight speed. However, with good speed and defense, the Boost Up 3 processor provides mobility in terms of increased boosted land and aerial movement speed.
Moving to the weapons, the Astraeus 2 has a good range and a high rate of fire, making it suitable for counterattacks. Whereas the Ogre Break gives high damage to enemies at distant range. Lastly, the build uses a high-output charged laser rifle at maximum power to increase further damage. With this loadout, you get 100% firepower with increased mobility, but durability, ammunition, and scouting factors are compromised.
3. Shotgun PVE
| Right Weapon | HAW-SH01S Azrael |
| Left Weapon | HAW-SH01S Azrael |
| Shoulder Weapon | SAW-RP95 Devotion |
| Auxiliary Weapon | HAW-RM03 Reserve Magazine |
| Right Pylon | – |
| Left Pylon | – |
| Head | SAP-LS-H01 Long Sword |
| Body | HAP-HC-C08 Hecatonchier |
| Processor | ZAP-BP-F03 Boost Up III |
| Right Arm | ZAP-KS-R05 Kusanagi |
| Left Arm | ZAP-KS-L05 Kusanagi |
| Legs | ZAP-MM-B02 Mumei |
This is a pretty decent build with 19,630 VP that is effective against bosses, as it quickly does a lot of damage. One good thing about the build is that it has a great reload speed with Kusanagi arms and Azrael weapons. To speed up fights, we have used the Devotion shoulder weapon.
The Hecatonchier has the highest speed and flight boost and decent health and defense compared to other body armor, which you want to keep for tricky boss fights. In action, the build slows down the stamina use, keeping your enemy’s defenses down.
2. High Durability and Mobility Build
| Right Weapon | HAW-R26S Guilty Throne |
| Left Weapon | OAW-R42 Lost Heart |
| Shoulder Weapon | SAW-HM33F Wrath of God |
| Auxiliary Weapon | HAW-CS09 Cooling System |
| Right Pylon | HAW-B04 Flame Faust |
| Left Pylon | HAW-R03S Grim Reaper III |
| Head | SAP-RD-H01 Radiant Gleam |
| Body | HAP-HC-C08 Hecatonchier |
| Processor | HAP-BP-F02 Lock Control II |
| Right Arm | SAP-GD-R01 Gladius |
| Left Arm | HAP-FD-L01 Fluoresce Dominion |
| Legs | HAP-LB-B01 Liberator |
This build focuses on making Acs tankier but with speed and durability. We will use Liberator for the armor because of its high durability and good landing speed in the game. Fluoresce has durability, while Gladius offers mobility and stealth.
For the weaponry, the Guilty Throne on the right arm causes high damage in an effective range, but Lost Heart is best against enemies with low bullet resistance. The Wrath of God launches many missiles with a relatively decent reload time. Now, lastly, for the right pylon, we use the Flame Faust, a bazooka that has a higher fire rate, and on the left side, we have Grim Reaper 3, an assault rifle that has a high effective range.
1. Laser Build
| Right Weapon | HAW-L05 Stargazer |
| Left Weapon | OAW-M81 Even Flow |
| Shoulder Weapon | SAW-CLC01F Agneyastra |
| Auxiliary Weapon | SAW-PT50 Propellant Tank |
| Right Pylon | OAW-CL42 Raider Force II |
| Left Pylon | OAW-A52 Riot Light II |
| Head | SAP-CR-H01 Claymore |
| Body | ZAP-KS-C05 Kusanagi |
| Processor | SAP-SU-F02 Firing Up II |
| Right Arm | SAP-FF-R01 Flash Phantom |
| Left Arm | ZAP-KS-L01 Flash Phantom |
| Legs | HAP-HC-B08 Hecatonchier |
This build is based on Femto usage to drop enemies crazy fast; the Propellant Tank stores Femto particles, while the Laser Stargazer weapon reduces its usage. The pylon here replaces traditional assault rifles with machine guns, but this does require you to stay at a close distance from the enemies. The flamethrower shocks and stuns enemies, reducing their stamina; the shoulder weapon acts as a cannon blaster.
The Daemon X Machina laser build has high durability, ammo, and firepower but compromises speed and mobility. We do recommend investing in the Propellant Tank to get the best result.
