Action Skill:
RAM - important to note that this is On Shot gun damage aka additive with enhancement type gun damage. Making it really nice to have
Visual Paradox Nexus - this action skill is basically just used to get
Stack Overflow however...
- Grants 25% Skill Tree Crit while VPN is Active.
- Grants 50% All Damage Soup while in Stealth.
- The first shot upon entering Stealth will have +200% Gear Crit (or 100% Skill Tree Crit, needs checking).
- Subsequent shots (after the first) in or out of Stealth will only have the 25% Skill Tree Crit instead (or 50% Gear Crit, needs checking).
Stack Overflow - this is a double dip. It takes the 3 shots after entering stealth as it's base damage. Then it goes through the basic damage formula including melee and action skill
- Does not get consumed if the Function misses/doesn’t hit any enemy.
- Damage to Store is checked ON HIT, meaning it is relatively anti-synergistic with multiple pellets and source-adopting Bonus Elements, although there’s nuance to the use cases with different weapons..
- UI Icon is super buggy and can just disappear even though you’re still stacking it.
- Kusarigama Function: Is Action Skill; Is Melee Damage. Can build up Groundbreaker.
- Kusarigama Function: Is not Player Melee Attack (doesn’t deliver GB).
accelerat.exe - this is a really nice damage boost that is easy to keep up and/or cycle
Blue Tree:
Disdain - nice crit damage
Odium - combined with
Disdain to use w/
Stack Overflow and
Groundbreaker this gets a HUGE damage boost as the formula is kinda weird
(Crit damage given by Disdain {before 2x}) x [({Points into Odium} x 1.5) + 2]
Death Begets Death - allows for easy AS uptime
Ratio Technique - nice melee and gun crit
- don't know if it's just melee attack crit or actually all melee crit. Don't trust GBX w/ wording and it hasn't been tested and I am too lazy to do it
notarget - used for the extended stealth for more damage
Footwork - really just for some nice movement speed so only take 1 point
Methodical - with slow firing weapons you can get A LOT of soup - (“up to” value) / (Fire rate)
Infinite Murder Hack - allows for keeping up ammo so you reload less
Refactored Damage Formula - this is a pure mult. At 1/1 it is 10% mult. At 2/1 it is a 120% mult
Killing Machine - mainly for cycling
accelerat.exe
Green Tree:
High Data Rate - insane double dipping status effect that you can proc off of
Stack Overflow. To use this effectively you need to make sure your next damage instance after using Empowered Melee is
Stack Overflow this is a key skill
- DoT damage is equal to 300% of damage dealt per second
- The DoT lasts 12.5s
- Only needs 1 point
- Can create Cryo DoTs
- Any elemental instance will consume the auto dot
Established Gameplay Loop - some nice soup
Nootropic Energy Drink - more nice soup
Cat 5 - even more nice soup
System Restore - solid survivability for healing and easy overshield uptime
Wide Net - the splash radius is REALLY nice once you get used to it
Red Tree:
Corrupted Path - some nice soup for
Stack Overflow
Finisher - this gets up to 150% Gun Damage which is insane.
- only have your function to keep this up
- not going to active effectively in bossing
- amazing in mobbing and easy to keep up with kills once it's at max stacks
ALT POINTS
You can take the points in Red Tree and some in Blue/Green to go elsewhere.
You can go more Green for
When it Rains and
Memory Leak for good soup and crit chance from stacking contagion via
Viral Payload
There is also
Merry Bandwidth which allows for easier uptime on
accelerat.exe
