Cyberware:

Legendary Heal-On-Kill (Found at Cassius Ryder's shop in Northside, requires 18 Reflexes) — Restores 10% of Max Health upon killing an enemy
Legendary Microrotors (Found at Ripperdoc in Kabuki slums, require 18 Reflexes) — Increase melee weapons attack speed by 25%
Rare Microvibration Generator (found during "Reported Crime: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close", requires 12 Reflexes) — Increases melee weapon damage by 10%

Weapon:
Jinchu-Maru (Iconic Katana, looted from Sandayu Oda during "Play It Safe") —Legendary variant crafted (after obtaining Cutting Edge and Field Technician level 2 perks), fully upgraded
This weapon's unique property is that all of its attacks are critical while Kerenzikov is active.

The whole tactic of the demonstrated build is to dodge (or rather, use a dodge to charge towards an enemy) in order to activate Kerenzikov, slowing down time in the process, and use the time dilation to deal critical damage to your opponents before they can react to you.

Healing items are not required.
During combat, all you need to do is to continue killing. With Bloodlust and Legendary Heal-On-Kill, each kill restores 30% of Max Health.
While in-between fights Epimorphosis shall resotre your health to its current maximum.
