(Anti-Everything) Best Build for Average Players

Honestly I saw that all the biggest-viewed cassidy loadouts are kinda buns so I made my own.

Now updated for changes to [The Closer] and [Eye of the Spider] and Freja. 5/21/2025

How does Freja affect Cassidy?

Well honestly from my experience if the other Freja is good then theres a problem, its hard to hit them due to their dashes and they are long range while you as Cassidy wont be able to do as much damage to them. If they are bad then its literally like shooting a balloon out of the sky cause they just sit there.. in the sky.. its so funny haha

If Freja is on your team then this is pretty good news, their Bola Shot synergizes really well with your Fan the Hammer and High Noon.

DISCLAIMER: WHATS IN THE MAIN SPOTS IS FOR IF YOU AVERAGE 6-7k CREDITS PER GAME. MOST PEOPLE WILL PROBABLY GET MORE, SO GET BETTER STUFF IF YOU DO.

Currently in Pro Rank and this build helps me win around 70-80% of my matches. My accuracy rate is 20%-40% so I'm not even that good myself.

Ok so basically Cassidy is an all around great dps, he can 1v1 other dps with little to no issues (unless the other persons like alot better), he absolutely melts tanks, and he can pick off supports. His only real downside in Stadium is his survivability, as sometimes with the upgrades characters just do too much damage for him to handle.

Cassidy's main damage output is his six-shooter so we are mainly focusing on attack damage + lifesteal

This guide is for average players who like me i'm assuming do not hit their shots 100% of the time and have an accuracy of around 30-40%. If you are good with shots then this should still work fine, but you may want to prioritize damage output more with perks like [Dead Man Walking] instead.

You can tweak this to have either more survivability or more attack damage. I usually go for more attack damage though.

Basically the idea of this is to have good survivability, but also high damage output. The reason for the survivability is because cassidy does much much better at close-medium range as his damage falloff is kinda insane and to be close & flank we need to be able to survive.

Some struggles I have had against other heroes:

Soldier 76 running the CrowTalks build (absolutely busted btw if you play soldier use this build), against these guys dont run in unless their helix rocket is depleted because if they land both rockets youre done. Also they have a literal built in field of healing while you don't so try to avoid them. Once they use up their helix rocket stun + fan the hammer usually gets em. Try getting more survivability items like [Lumerico Fusion Drive] and [Vital-E-Tee] to try and survive their helix rockets. You will need above 330 health to survive one shot of maxed out helix rockets, so be sure to have more effective HP than that.

Genji: Can block your bullets and generally is able to jump you pretty easily if they are good. Just try n dash away once they use their dash and try and bait out their deflect. Always try n maintain a good distance. (They may have the skill where after deflect they slash once with DragonBlade)
