WEAPONS
You want most of your mobbing weapons to be in Radiation element, to maximize triggers of
IHATEYOU. For bossing, you can make do with different elements, but keep Radiation in mind if you want to cause any amount of Shuriken chain-kills.
Main Weapons
If you want a more melee-centered approach while also commanding Wyrm.
Pragmate
Tempered Essence
Mantra
- The
Pragmate is excellent for the melee approach. Shoot it a couple times and the next Melee Damage instance will get 500% Soup. Wyrm can also make use of this boost. - Look for Jakobs (Ricochet Accessory), and SMG Mode/Preference.
Tempered Essence is another great option and is more focused on actual shooting if you like it, though the same playstyle fits just as well.
Mantra is another solid, well-known choice.
Other Weapons
If you want to shoot a lot more + command Wyrm, while also fitting in some melee.
Literally any of your favorite strong guns in the game. The build has high enough gun stats that it doubles down as a good gun build whenever needed.
Underbarrels
Beam Tosser
Maliwan Shotgun and Spread Launcher
Jakobs Shotgun underbarrels are worthy backups to have, and useful to handle situations such as Phase 2 Terra in case you can't nuke it with Melee + Wyrm.
REPKIT
Triple Bypass,
Font of Life,
Kill Spring and
War Paint are all good choices of Repkit with their own relative strengths.
Triple Bypass is excellent utility due to
Now With Caffeine.
Font of Life has very long duration and permanent uptime on whichever buff you roll on it.
Kill Spring is a good sustain-focused option.- The orbs can actually heal Wyrm, but mostly 'accidentally', since they don't intentionally track it.
War Paint is a great offensive choice and the movement speed is nice.
Look for these effects, or combinations of them if applicable:
- Elemental Affinity (Reactive)
- Enrage (Experimental)
- Amp (Amplified)
- Speed (Caffienated)
- Accelarator (Adrenalized)
- Hard Hitter (Steroidal)
ORDNANCE
Waterfall,
Countermeasure or any Epic Grenade
- Radiation Lingering + Alchemic + Overflow/Exacting/Express
- Great roll combination for the purpose of spreading radiation status and filling
RAM.
- Radiation Ricochet + Artillery + Overflow/Exacting/Express
- Decent roll combination for the purpose of spreading radiation status and filling
RAM. The Ricochet can also stack gun skills like
Riddle You This.
CLASS MOD
Stat Rolls to look for on any Class Mod:
- Elemental Damage
- Melee Damage
- Damage Dealt
- The Damage Dealt roll on Legendary Class Mods is currently broken, but you can still keep it any good ones you find in case it gets fixed.
- Skill Crit Chance
- Skill Damage
Devourer
This is by far the best choice this specific build, due to its legendary effect working on
IHATEYOU, and it rolling
Fusion Friends-y for increased Symbiosis stacks.
- +5
Fusion Friends-y; +2 or +1
In Memoriam; +1
Glass 'Em!
SHIELD
Honey Badger
- x2 Turtle. Excellent defensive choice that helps you survive barrels and other dangers.
Onion
- Main defensive choice, very safe.
Super Soldier
- Excellent offensive choice with good boosts all around.
Exfoliatrix
- Good defensive choice with a quite decent offensive benefit.
Watts 4 Dinner
- Siphon. Decent offensive choice for specialized bossing. Not particularly recommended for mobbing due to low sustain and the Bonus Shock Damage being able to steal
IHATEYOU triggers.
Hopscotch or
Little Sister
- x2 Turtle. Great defensive choices.
ENHANCEMENT
Stat Rolls to look out for on any Enhancement:
- Gun / Gun Type Fire Rate
- Gun / Gun Type Damage
- Gun / Gun Type Magazine Size
- Gun / Gun Type Splash Damage
- Gun Status Effect Damage
- Gun / Gun Type Equip Speed
Quintain |
Blind Box | Bounce Pass
Jakobs Enhancement
- Great for stacking the
Pragmate effect, and to help build
Groundbreaker.
Toile |
Lame | Mixologist
Maliwan Enhancement
- Good choices for the Maliwan or Maliwan-licensed weapons.
- Allows Artillery + Ricochet grenades to benefit from the bonus damage and status application coming from Mixologist, especially if holding a Beam Tosser Underbarrel
Maliwan Shotgun. - Kills on enemies that are suffering any Status will transfer the Status Effect of your Gun's Card to other enemies, when using Transfuser. Powerful with Stellium/Beam Tosser Underbarrel
Maliwan Shotgun, and still relatively useful with other Maliwans.
Bullet Fabricator
Daedalus Enhancement
- Excellent for sustaining ammo of Daedalus (Underbarrel/Multi-Loader) Firing Modes, including Shotgun Mode.
Any other Enhancements that fit your preferred weapons.
