Build Overview

This build is focused around dealing damage with Sleight of Hand.

You will be able to spam your cards infinitely with Cowboy and then boss with either The Cooler + Groundbreaker or his Gamer class mod for Bleed

Credit goes to Nepta and wrw713 in The Soup Kitchen Discord for work on the Groundbreaker card setup. Cards would not be this good without them.

Depending on your RNG your damage could lack at certain places BUT your action skill is instantly looped so you will eventually kill enemies

Strengths And Weaknesses

TUVH6 viable action skill

Solid bossing at worst. Good bossing at best

Action Skill:

Sleight of Hand - Card to look out for damage (including augments) are Fireball, Acid Spray, Vampiric Touch, and The Cooler

Cowboy - allows for infinite charges & the corrosive card deals A LOT of damage. ALWAYS take this

Bet on Red - high crit chance and opening up ordnance formula allows for good damage. Can take in mobbing but not needed.

The Cooler - the melee damage allows for opening up formula for the damage of the card itself especially in mobbing but this is THE KEY TO BOSSING because it can proc Groundbreaker which is built up from our cards damage (mainly just acid spray)

Blue Tree:

Fast Hands - for the increased Windfall chance

Alchemy - allows for insanely easy fortune stacking This is a key skill

Trick-Taker - dump points for a bit more damage

Sounds of Rain - more crit chance for more damage

Late Scratch - more Fortune stacking from spam reloading our gun

Devil's Tines (Luck of the Draw) - allows for 2 card combo of Cowboy and The Cooler This is a key skill

Payout - more fortune bonuses

Card Sharp - allows for spam of cards in the beginning This is a key skill

Tender Hearts - more crit chance for cards but also a bit of a damage boost

Hot Streak - guarantees crits. Gives 125% crit damage (not 25%) and if you hit the crit spot you will get 2x boosts to crit damage (does not proc via forced crits). Stacks are consumed on hit. And inheriting bonus elements like Watts 4 Dinner will take an additional stack. Easy to lose stacks so crit chance for Action Skill is still helpful. Do not gain extra stacks w/ Go For Broke and House Edge would mean gaining less stacks so we don't take those skills. This is a key skill

Ace in the Hole - gun damage to put into I Am A Gun

Around the Corner - to put into High Roller

Ante Up - gives A LOT more damage than it states, With Hot Slugger you will do hundreds of gun damage and skill damage. The gun damage goes into I Am A Gun This is a key skill

formula - gun/skill_% x fortune_stacks/mag_size + gun/skill_% x current_ammo/mag_size - credit to wrw713 in discord
Explained more here

No Limit - allows for more fortune stacks for Ante Up

Take the Pot - slight bit of healing when you activate Sleight of Hand

High Roller - gun damage to go into I Am A Gun

Stack the Deck - for the skill damage

Equipment

Weapons

Repkit & Ordnance

Utilities

Guns:

Hot Slugger - allows for the most benefit of Ante Up while also being easy to proc Windfall and gain fortune stacks via Late Scratch

Ordnance:

Waterfall - w/ Lingering + Alchemic augment for status effects for Alchemy

Jakobs Grenade Crit Knife - allows for more crit chance

Repkit:

Triple Bypass - for spam repkit healing and/or passive spam

Kill Spring - for easy survivability

Class Mod:

Ludopath - for the points in Ante Up. 5/5 will double the bonus

Crack Shot - for points in Nothing Beats Lead. This works like Amara's Infusion from Borderlands 3 where it converts 45% of your damage into Kinetic Damage. This will also remove the damage penalty of elemental guns but also on non guns (even tho this doesnt exist on non guns) which leads to higher card damage. This does mean losing element match sometimes but also means losing element resistance which is huge for building up Groundbreaker. This is the better class mod for bossing but harder to farm. You need to get at least 1 point into Lawless to get Nothing Beats Lead

Shields:

Watts 4 Dinner - w/ Siphon Tolling for survivability

Protean Cell - for a stronger bonus element

Enhancement:

Any enhancement works. You can use something to buff Hot Slugger as it works very well in mobbing. Gun Splash Damage should work with hot slugger which then applies to everything for some reason

Gameplay

Notes

Mobbing:

Throw Waterfall for Alchemy

Shoot and reload spam Hot Slugger until Windfall procs

Use Sleight of Hand and spam cards. Prioritize Acid Spray for great AOE

When out of action skill shoot and reload spam again for Windfall and AS return via Cowboy effect. Also throw Waterfall to gain more Fortune Stacks

Bossing:

Throw Waterfall for Alchemy

Shoot and reload spam Hot Slugger until Windfall procs

Use Sleight of Hand and spam cards. Hold onto The Cooler cards for as long as possible. Prioritize Fireball and Acid Spray cards for building up Groundbreaker
