Jayber

Jayber

Tier A1.0.x

Overview

Jayber trades mobility for infrastructure. When allowed to set up, his turrets provide reliable DPS, area control, and team value that compounds over time.

Best For

Wave-based content, choke-point defense, add-heavy encounters, and any scenario where enemies can be funneled into fixed locations.

Best For

  • Wave-based missions
  • Choke-point defense
  • Add-heavy Hard-mode content
  • Solo progression with preparation time
  • Teams that can hold enemies in place

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Strong sustained damage through turrets
  • Excellent area denial and zone control
  • Damage persists even while repositioning
  • Effective solo once setup is complete
  • Scales well with cooldown and duration

Weaknesses

  • Requires setup time
  • Damage collapses if turrets are destroyed or misplaced
  • Less effective in high-mobility encounters
  • Slower clear speed than burst farmers
  • Relies on enemy pathing

Alternatives

Focus on Non-Attribute

Swap in when you want more raw turret damage at the cost of some uptime comfort.

Increased DEF

If turrets or Jayber himself are being destroyed frequently in Hard content.

Build Variants by Progression

Stat Priority & Reactor Guidance

Stat Priority

Primary

  • • Skill Duration
  • • Skill Cooldown Reduction
  • • Skill Effect Range

Secondary

  • • Skill Power
  • • Skill Power Modifier
  • • Max HP

Avoid

  • ✗ Pure burst-focused stats
  • ✗ Weapon crit stacking as a main plan
  • ✗ Mobility-only investments that sacrifice uptime

Reactor Guidance

Preferred Type:

Non-Attribute

Preferred Skill:

Fusion

Best Stats:

• Skill Duration

• Skill Cooldown

• Skill Effect Range

Jayber's reactor should reinforce uptime. Longer-lasting, frequently redeployable turrets outperform higher per-hit damage.

Rotation & Playstyle

Rotation

  1. 1.Identify enemy paths or hold points
  2. 2.Deploy turrets in overlapping fields of fire
  3. 3.Reinforce or reposition turrets as fights move
  4. 4.Maintain uptime rather than chasing enemies

Tips

  • 💡 Placement matters more than raw stats.
  • 💡 Let enemies come to your turrets — don't chase.
  • 💡 Refresh turrets before expiration to avoid downtime.
  • 💡 If enemies keep destroying turrets, fix placement or durability first.

Farming Plan

Goals

  • Duration and cooldown modules
  • Range-expanding modules
  • Non-Attribute/Fusion reactors
  • External components with HP/DEF

Recommended Activities

  • Wave-based Hard-mode missions
  • Choke-point defense content
  • Module farms for uptime pieces

Priority Targets

  • Enhanced Turret
  • Cooldown/duration modules
  • Reactor rolls that increase turret uptime

Scaling Notes

Jayber scales by keeping infrastructure active. Each improvement in uptime increases total damage dealt over the encounter.

Team Synergy

Pairs best with tanks and controllers that funnel enemies into turret zones.

Known Issues

Highly mobile enemies or constantly shifting fights reduce effectiveness.
