Notes

The cleanest single-target build in the roster. Analyse Enemies stacks a damage debuff on the target, then Hunt Down the Prey marks up to three enemies. Piercing Shot grants full over-penetration and a guaranteed crit against marked Prey, so one shot spreads huge damage across several enemies. This is the canonical Yrliet build, but any Operative protagonist runs it well.

Leveling Priority

Perception first, Ballistic Skill second, Agility third. Pick up Analyse Enemies early to start stacking exploits.
