I love cat[girl]s! Skelly's Calico Build

Fully annotated! Ability Point Order is WIP since 22/05/2026 patch. This is a melee bruiser build with a mix of gun and spirit. Make sure to pick up Situational items. Now go and be a catgirl! This build isn't very good anymore. Still fun though. Check out my spirit Calico build: 266497
