Attribute

Reflexes

Total Points

20

Description

• +0.5% Crit Chance per Attribute Point
• Improves your proficiency with Assault Rifles, Submachine Guns, and Blades, and enables you to use advanced movements. It also enables you to make quick, observant remarks in dialogue.

Why It’s Used

Johnny’s known for being quick and observant, so it seems only right to increase his Reflexes Attribute. Not only that, but the perks found here are great, as increasing the movement potential for this build will come as a treat.

Attribute

Technical Ability

Total Points

20

Description

• +2 Armor per Attribute Point
• Improves your proficiency with Explosives and Tech Weapons and allows you to be compatible with high-end cyberware. It also allows you to bypass some locks, override devices and exhibit tech-savvy skills in dialogues.

Why It’s Used

Technical Ability will allow players to maximize the potential of their cyberware, meaning they will not be held back by enhancements that overload their system. Additionally, the perks are good, and the ability to bypass locks also helps.

Attribute

Cool

Total Points

20

Description

• +1.25% Crit Damage Per Attribute Point
• Improves your proficiency with Precision Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Handguns and Throwable Weapons. It also enables you to use advanced, stealthy Perk abilities and subtle or street-smart dialogue choices.

Why It’s Used

Johnny Silverhand is the epitome of cool, so maximizing this stat is lore-friendly. Additionally, players will want to use the perks from this Attribute as they indulge Handguns.

Attribute

Body

Total Points

18

Description

• +2 Max Health per Attribute Points
• Improves your proficiency with Shotguns, Light Machine Guns and Blunt Weapons. It also enables you to open some doors by force, rip off turrets, and use intimidating or solo-trained dialogue choices.

Why It’s Used

Gameplay is made easier through dialogue and actions used with the Body Attribute, and the addition of some of the perks found with this Attribute will also be essential for the build.

Attribute

Intelligence

Total Points

3

Description

• +1 Max RAM per 4 Attribute Points
• Improves your proficiency with Smart Weapons and allows you to unleash your full potential as a netrunner. It also enables you to access loyal subnets and show off your knowledge of the Net in dialogues.

Why It’s Not Used

Johnny Silverhand isn’t the smartest in the world, and he’s definitely not a netrunner. This build will be avoiding the use of all perks from the Intelligence tree, so there’s no point wasting Attribute Points here.

Attribute

Relic

Total Points

4

Description

• The Relic now offers access to powerful, new capabilities for your cyberware.

Why It’s Used

The Relic is an interesting addition, exclusive to owners of Phantom Liberty. Players can find Relic Points to upgrade this tree, without needing to spend Attribute Points, so it’s used as an optional addition to improve cyberware.
