When you ready a fully loaded Hand Cannon that deals Kinetic damage or a damage type that matches your equipped Super, each hit from that Hand Cannon increases the damage of the next shot for a short time against a target. Hand Cannons ready faster and are more accurate immediately after swapping to them. Provides a small benefit to the airborne effectiveness stat of Hand Cannons while the buff is active.

Build Details

How It Works

The main gameplay loop of this build is based around Lucky Pants. Crimson is the recommended hand cannon to utilize alongside Lucky Pants. When readying Crimson, landed shots will apply a damage buff that increases hand cannon damage by 60% per stack, at a max of 10 stacks (600% damage boost) for 5.5 seconds. After that timing window, the buff as a cooldown for 10 seconds while the Out of Luck debuff is active.

The Lucky Pants damage buff will stack with the 17% damage buff from two Kinetic Weapon Surge mods and the 25% damage buff from Radiant. When all buffs are stacked together, you will have a 923% damage boost to Crimson.

The subclass rounds out the rest of the build and is utilized during the wind down time of Lucky Pants. Knife Trick will be the primary ability due to it giving the Radiant buff through Ember of Torches, and refunding itself on kill. Gambler's Dodge is used as a contingency plan if Knife Trick doesn't land a kill.

Defeating scorched targets will create a Firesprite from Ember of Searing, and Firesprites will grant restoration from Ember of Mercy. With Ember of Solace restoration from Healing Grenade and a Firesprite has a longer duration as well as the timer of the Radiant buff; and when these buffs are applied to teammates, Ember of Benevelonce will increase ability regeneration rate of all abilities. Blade Barrage alongside Knock 'em Down gives one of the highest damage supers in the game.
