I haven’t touched Rhino outside of Index in ages and even there, he was replaced by Revenant. I don’t even know why I keep him around but since I do, I decided I want to give him a proper build.

Mind you, I have a SP viable build for everything I own…except Rhino Prime.

I figured he’s a tank and doesn’t need much, like Nezha for example, but boy was I wrong. Even some mid level Steel Path enemies totally wiped the floor with him. I’m actually convinced there’s a bug at play here because the second Iron Skin goes down, I immediately die. You’d expect shield gating to kick in first but it feels like it really doesn’t.

Anyway, Iron Skin usually holds only a few seconds even though I have high Armor and Strength and use it when under enemy fire, so I’m probably doing something wrong. Naturally, I looked for guides online but most of them are ridiculous, like:

Ain’t nobody got time for that!

Tell me, how can I make Rhino survive Steel Path in a non-ridiculous way, please.
