In this segment of the video, Termex provides an in-depth guide on a build for the character Amy in Dead Island 2. Despite Amy’s reputation as the worst character, Termex argues that she is underrated and highlights her exceptional dodging abilities, which are bolstered by choosing the Dodge skill over Block due to her lower toughness. For her main attacks, Termex prefers Dropkick and Dash Strike, with the latter applying a weakened status effect on zombies. The Dash Strike is emphasized as fitting Amy’s agile play style better than alternatives like Warcry or Ground Pound.
Moreover, Termex highlights the importance of the Surgical Focus card for building Fury, allowing Amy to easily gain Fury by maiming zombies with various weapons. When in zombie form, Termex favors the Scream ability, which knocks down and weakens surrounding zombies.

In this segment of the video, the speaker highlights various gameplay mechanics and strategies, focusing on the Dash strike ability that stuns enemies with an electric proc, simplifying the activation of weapon perks. The Dash strike also regains health, which counters the health drain from using the lightning strike.

The speaker then discusses several Slayer cards:
– “Ravenous” extends Fury duration upon killing a zombie,
– “Carnage” provides a damage boost at the cost of extra Fury drain,
– “Corpse Bomb” causes enemies killed in Fury mode to explode,
– “Surgeon” grants a damage boost when maiming zombies,
– “Hammer Fist” enhances the Dash strike’s force to knock enemies down and guarantees a status effect.
Finally, Newman cards are reviewed:
– One triggers an explosion that drains Fury but heals the player when near death,
– “Corpse Blossom” causes elemental explosions to trigger additional explosions. These abilities together create a highly effective setup in the game.
