Noob question: How should I spend my points? Tried to defeat Oda before, couldn’t do it so started to grind a little bit, but didn’t try again yet.

One day, Albert Einstein was on his way to a science convention for a speech. On the way there, he tells his driver that looks a bit like him:
“I’m sick of all these conferences. I always say the same things over and over!”
The driver agrees: “You’re right. As your driver, I attended all of them, and even though I don’t know anything about science, I could give the conference in your place.”
“That’s a great idea!” says Einstein. “Let’s switch places then!”
So they switch clothes and as soon as they arrive, the driver dressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as the car driver, attends it.
But in the crowd, there is one scientist who wants to impress everyone and thinks of a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won’t be able to respond. So this guy stands up and interrupts the conference by posing his very difficult question. The whole room goes silent, holding their breath, waiting for the response.
The driver looks at him, dead in the eye, and says :
“Sir, your question is so easy that I’m going to let my driver explain it to you.”
You’re going for jack of all trades when you could have maxed 2 attributes by now. Pick 2 to max out then go from there.
So this is just how I do it, not saying this is the most effective route.
Pick one attribute (I would say the core of whatever direction you want to go combat wise) and rush it to 15 early, dump perks into it and that will give you a solid base for combat skills. After that I usually build up my HP by rushing Body or Tech to 9. Then your secondary combat attribute to 9. Then 20 on your main. Build out your secondary/HP trees with the rest of your attribute points and just pepper perks into whatever attribute you’re currently rushing. Keeping your gear and cyberware upgraded is also a huge part of early progression. Usually by 25-30 with this method I can clear pretty much everything without much trouble. Oda is kind of a rough fight for certain builds so it might be worth doing some other missions while you just power up as well.
Essentially you want to have 3 attributes fully maxed by the end game and then dump your leftovers into the others. A spread out build is hard mode with how skills work in 2077.
Truly, I’d respec asap. You spent points in each tree. From my experience, leaving one skill tree at 3 is the best possible outcome. It’ll almost always be tech/ intelligence to leave at 3. Maybe cool, but it’s likely you’ll want some things from it even if you have no interest in stealth.
I rock 20 reflex, 20 cool, 3 intelligence, 18 body, and 20 tech. This build kills, especially so if you like using snipers, pistols/ revolvers, and blades. I highly recommend it. OG vet here ✌️
Just enjoy the game though. If you are struggling with a section, just turn the difficulty down. It’s never really been a game balanced for difficulty, and it isn’t the point of it anyway.
Ooh baby what is you doing lol you ain’t really got a build at all. Definitely should focus on 2 attributes and go for a build from there. With the new level cap you can get 3 attributes to 20 and 1 attribute to 18 and have the last attribute at 3. Should look up build videos on YouTube to get a feel of what you might like and put your points into the correct attributes for said build. All the bosses can be real pushovers with the correct build
Spreading points like that is not a good idea. You should choose a main focus among these most prominent playstyles;
​
* Body – Berserk – Gorilla Arms – (LMG, Shotgun, Blunt Melee)
* Reflexes – Sandevistan – Mantis Blades – (AR, SMG, Blade Melee)
* Intelligence – Cyberdeck – Monowire – (Stealth, Smart Weaponry, Throwable Melee)
​
And just max that selected attribute while supporting it with the perks from Cool and Technical tree according to your needs and weapons.
​
Just make sure you are going for one of these three, and it should work regardless of which one. Though you have to make sure its the one that fits your intrinsic playstyle.
Points are a bit spread too thin,the style you like should have at least 15 for stats and skill unlock. Like if you wanna go net runner,go int ,if you wanna go sandy and melee,go cool+reflex. If you wanna use gadgets alot,go tech. Pick 1 to focus maxing out at 20 and if you find synergy with something else,max that as well or at least to 15 for the useful unlocks.
At this point I had 20 body, tech and intelligence. With a lot more points unspent which I’m keeping for my relic. I’ve had no issues with Oda, but then again I was level 51 or 52 when I fought him so it could be that.
I even attacked him with a club, instead of my shotgun because it was an easy fight and it also gave me a chance to avoid killing him. What I did was cripple his movements so he can’t run around smack him with my club (the one you can loot from Fingers), threw burn on him to have a dot on him so that when he goes invisible I can see him easier. All in all, I did not have many problems with him.
What you need to focus on is maxing out two primary stats first (one and then the other). You kind of went everywhere in your build.
Hope this helps you 🙂
Quickhacks: Cripple Movement, Cyberware Malfunction, synapse burnout
Weapons: Smartgun assault rifle, shotgun
I’ve been maxing out tech and reflexes regardless of build. Free stamina airdash is just too good. Having the best cyberware you can fit on is also too hard to pass up. Tech imo is the most important tree specially for very hard difficulty.
If you like pistols, precision rifles or snipers… respec/max out cool. Im running a headshot build with falcon sandevistan, and it feels like easy mode now!
