Like most Esper builds, this build is designed around using many mental mutations as effectively as possible. For your first few levels, I'd recommend leveling up {{favilink|Light Manipulation}} so that you have a stable source of damage. After that, start raising your ego and picking up as many mental mutations as you can!<br><br>For some variety, I often like to pick up {{favilink|Unstable Genome}} with Esper builds. You may want to consider trading {{favilink|Force Wall}} for one stack of Unstable Genome.|author=kernelmethod}}

They require a high [[Intelligence]] (which doesn't provide much offensive/defensive utility compared to other stats), a good supply of bits, and a modestly-sized schematics library before they can really get going.<br><br>The idea of this tinkering build is to address these problems by giving you strong offensive options in {{favilink|Electrical Generation}} and {{favilink|Light Manipulation}}. With these mutations, you can level up your Intelligence as quickly as possible without needing to invest stats in boosting your damage with melee or ranged weaponry. {{favilink|Phasing}} gives you a defensive option to help escape when you're in trouble, and can be used alongside [[phase-harmonic]] and [[phase-conjugate]] in the late game. With the stat distribution given here, you can reach [[Tinker III]] as early as level 24.<br><br>Some tips:<br><ul><li>In the early game you should focus on putting mutation points into Light Manipulation and Electrical Generation to scale up your damage as you level. In the late game, you will want to start putting more points into Phasing and (especially) Triple-Jointed, which will allow your agility to catch up so that you can start picking up higher-level weapons skills (such as those in the [[Short Blade]] and [[Long Blade]] trees).</li><li>Light Manipulation's projectiles will still hit enemies while you're phased, so you can use phasing to become temporarily invulnerable while you lase enemies.</li><li>Once you've learned the [[jacked]] mod, you can apply it to items so that they pull from the electrical supply you create with Electrical Generation rather than needing to use energy cells.</li></ul>|author=kernelmethod}}

This build is good for one thing and one thing only: maximizing your limb count whatever the cost. Consider picking up [[Dual Wield]] and asking {{F|Pax Klanq}} to help you out with equipping your new tail or fin. As a special conduct, don't spend your mutation points on anything but new mutations until you have them all, and always pick the one that gives a new limb.|author=[[User:Sol|Sol]]}}
