Build Overview

This build bolsters insane damage taking advantage of infinite ammo with certain underbarrel attachments with the Metal Management node, paired with spamming APOPHIS Lance which we can do near infinitely with Fiesta. We have 100% crit chance with Awe and do overall insane damage because the underbarrel attachments are overtuned, and do disproportionate amounts of damage relative to other guns, particularly the 'Beam Tosser' attachment. However for mobbing, we just use the Taser attachment and shock the entire screen. This build requires effectively 0 gear to work well other than a decent underbarrel to take advantage of.

Strengths And Weaknesses

Very High Damage
Great for both bossing and add clear
No bugs, doesn't need a crit knife either

Can feel clunky
Now With Caffeine currently is bugged with APOPHIS Lance so sometimes you'll be waiting a few seconds to get it back

Take 1 point out of Awe if you get it on your class mod

First Impression doesn't work with underbarrel attachment spamming

The first 15 points in blue tree are optional tbh, they are all pretty bad

Utilities

The Birt's Bees can roll with the taser underbarrel, otherwise look for a Vladof SMG with tasers for mobbing and a Maliwan Shotgun w/ Beam Tosser for bossing

Buster is our class mod which pairs nicely with APOPHIS Lance giving us a 25% chance to not consume charges, try to get a roll with as many points into Conductivo as possible, and also aim for increased status effect chance

Dancer is a good thing to swap to for bossing if you want to min-max your boss dps, try to get as many points into Temerario as you can

A vladof enhancement with underbarrel damage increase is good to buff our tasers. Try to get increased status effect chance here as well, in addition to gun damage

Watts 4 Dinner is our shield as it gives us extra shock damage whenever you have an overshield, the uptime on this isn't great so try to get a Siphon Tolling roll on it. Otherwise, any shield you want to use should work perfectly fine, such as the Super Soldier, Firewerks or really whatever you want

Birt's Bees = 'Sludgemaw' Watershed Gate, Idolator's Noose
Watts 4 Dinner = 'Origo' Arch of Origo, Terminus Range
Buster = 'Origo' Arch of Origo, Terminus Range
Dancer = 'Idolator Sol', Fortress Indomita, Idolator's Noose
