Build progression becomes clearer when one combat style acts as the core and other upgrades support that direction.
Choose the style you enjoy most
Test weapons and approaches until one feels natural enough to become the center of the build.
Support the core style first
Prioritize survivability, mobility or cyberware that strengthens the way you already fight.
Avoid spreading upgrades everywhere
A little investment in every direction can make every approach feel weak.
Add flexibility after the core works
Once the main style feels reliable, add secondary tools for the situations it handles poorly.
