Which are the best builds for Light class? The Finals Guide

The Light class in The Finals is not like Mediums or Heavies. They are fast, slippery, and difficult to target. They are notorious for their hit-and-run tactics. Just the remaining two classes, Lights have their own unique set of weapons, gadgets, and specializations. After the recent patch update, there have been some changes made to the Light class. Read more to find out which builds are the best for Lights.

This build emphasizes hit-and-run abilities. The mid-range weapons listed above are versatile, precise and perfectly fit in with the Light class’ fast movements. Since a Light’s duty is to deliver initial damage to the enemy, the Glitch Grenade, Breach Charge and Pyro Grenade come in handy. 

Close Range Build 

  • Weapon: Any melee weapon
  • Specialization: Cloaking Device/Evasive Dash
  • Equipment: Glitch Grenade/Vanishing Bomb/Flex Pick

This particular build boosts agility and speed so that the Light class has an advantage in close-ranged fights. Any melee weapon can be used in this build, especially the SH1900 shotgun. In close proximity, knives and daggers will have the most impact. However, throwing them comes with a few cons– limited ammo, time taken to land the blow, backstab requirements.

Evasive Dash lets the player get up close to an enemy’s back. Cloaking Device is also useful for approaching the opponent within a few metres. 

Power Shift Build

  • Weapon: XP-54/LH1/SR-84
  • Specialization: Grappling Hook/Evasive Dash
  • Equipment: Glitch Grenade/Smoke Grenade/Pyro Grenade

The second season introduced “Power Shift”, a 5v5 game mode where teams battle it out on a moving platform. Those who can hold down the platform will have an upper hand so the Light class is a favorable choice for this mode.

Bow Build

  • Weapon: Recurve Bow
  • Specialization: Stun Gun/Thermal Bore
  • Equipment: Glitch Grenade/Smoke Grenade/Pyro Grenade

The high-skill weapon was added to The Final in Season 3. If you don’t want to go for a gun, this is a great choice for medium to long range fights. Once you get the hang of it, hitting enemies will be a cakewalk. You can easily land the fatal blow and rack up headshots.
