Code Vein Guide: Mastering the Bayonetta Overdrive Build

In this Code Vein guide, we’ll explore how to create the powerful Bayonetta Overdrive Build, which is a Bayonet DPS setup focused on ranged combat. We’ll cover everything from Blood Codes and Blood Veils to Weapons, Gifts, and how they all fit together in the Bayonetta Overdrive Build.

The Bayonetta Overdrive Build is incredibly straightforward, easy to use, and Ichor efficient. You won’t spend too much time buffing with this build. While other setups may provide more damage per shot, they require managing numerous Gifts. With this build, you sacrifice around 25% damage per shot for ease of use and less complication. If you want to be a ranged Bayonet user, this is the perfect build.

Bayonetta Overdrive Blood Codes

Several Blood Codes are ideal for Bayonets in Code Vein. This section outlines the Blood Codes to work towards, with your end goal being the powerful Queen Blood Code. Start with Caster, then transition to Artemis after the Invading Executioner Boss fight. Use the Harmonia Blood Code next, progressing eventually to the Queen Blood Code at the end of the game.

Bayonetta Overdrive Blood Veils

Blood Veils are crucial for enhancing the potency of your Gifts. The Blood Veil you choose for this build should focus on defense values, Drain Attack damage, Parries, and Backstabs. Opt for a Blood Veil that keeps you under the weight limit for Quick movement with your chosen Blood Code. At the end game, Night Claw or Noble Silver are preferred choices, offering a balance of protection and weight.

Bayonetta Overdrive Weapons

For this build, you want to focus on Bayonets with more Willpower and Mind Scaling than Dexterity or Strength. Start with the standard Bayonet early on. Once you obtain Mia, trade for her Bayonet, Brodiaea, as soon as possible. This has the best long-range capabilities in the game. With Eva, trade for her Bayonet, Libertador, which has shorter range but higher damage per shot. Alternate between these based on your needs.

Bayonetta Overdrive Gifts

Gifts are vital components of any build. For Bayonetta Overdrive, focus on the recommended Passive and Active Gifts, such as Swift Destruction, Bayonet Mastery, Blood Sacrifice, Gift Extension, Ranged Impact, and Overdrive.

Bayonetta Overdrive Final Tips

Since you will have high Willpower and Mind, you can add spells with higher burst damage to your build. This allows you to use the Bayonet for steady DPS and spells to quickly burst enemies down. Whenever possible, backstab or use Drain Attack to increase your Ichor count. Damage output with this build is high, helping you gain Ichor while eliminating opponents. Last but not least, remember that weapon buffs with elemental effects don’t impact ranged shots, so don’t worry about slotting any.
