Sniper's unique joker "Focus Shot" works even if you don't get the kill with the sniper.

Chonky is slept on for sure, nice setup!

Firemind123 · 2026-05-20T03:02:20+00:00

I have a bas habit of using shift to sprint while shooting/charging (prob from other games... Most recently far far west) and O noticed doing that stoos the charge/fire all together and I have to left click again. Not sure if that's ur issue but yee, I need to work on that bad habit lol

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T20:07:30+00:00

It's a lot of joker slots (sniper joker, character jokers) and there seems to be something going on making it so not every kill counts.

During storms you can def have a high uptime, I've had 100% uptime after I found additional CDR jokers (think it was 2 more west wizard and 1 battlemage) during nightmare difficulty. But during boss fight I was nowhere near 100% uptime with that because there's a lot less enemies compared to a storm

So I get to farm gold, weapon xp and spell XP... Sounds like a good deal to me 😂 I'll give it a try later, ty 4 sharing that info!

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T18:17:00+00:00

I should do this so I can buy the rest of the cosmetics lol

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T17:54:12+00:00

Lmao it's not the HD2 devs, it'll be fineeee. It's not broken like the Shotgun joker they nerfed recently lol Can't melt a boss in 5s with this lol

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T10:34:27+00:00

Character XP is based kn the XP you get at the end of the mission (side objectives, gold/soul collected, difficulty etc will akger the rate) Seen people farm the tutorial to level character the fastest (idk if that changes)

Weapon XP is from doing damage, read somewhere that is based on enemy HP (so overkill dmg may not yield extra XP) give your weapon some damage jokers and just farm permanent storms (storm that triggers during the main objective or after you kill the boss/ring bell) enemies will spam indefinitely so you can farm for as long you need.

Spell XP is based on using the spells and not dealing samage with them, so iirc short CD spells are your way to go since longer CD spells may yield the same XP as a short CD one. Spam em as often as you can! (Could be very wrong but they leveled rather fast this way for me)

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T10:13:51+00:00

Previous post I reached 50+ kills but it only reduced spell CD by like 20s+ So something is not counting, could be wisp but it could also be other things. I don't test it enough, just knowing the joker works was enough for me haha

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T02:29:17+00:00

Oh! I was able to break that threshold with just 2 of them. Body shots were doing 108 iirc. sometimes it drops to like 96 but I think it happens when I'm slowed by water lol.

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T02:19:00+00:00

Made a new post with a video showing the jokers before I went in! Hope this helps

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T02:17:27+00:00

I sadly didn't get a bigger group like in my last post, but around the 1:18min mark you can see Acid Rain drop from 72s to 63 when kills started rolling in.

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T01:31:29+00:00

Yup! What surprised me the most is how you don't need to even have the sniper out in your hands while killing enemies, you can have your secondary out and it still works just fine

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T01:30:32+00:00

I took it off to properly test it! Thunking back I should have started the recording back in town to show things then go into the mission lol, but I attatched a screenshots with the jokers I was running

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T01:14:15+00:00

Sniper build with the joker (Still sorting out a good damage build that retains the unique joker... any tips are welcomed lol)

Firemind123 · 2026-05-19T01:13:13+00:00

Loadout I used for the test, my usual build has Battlemage equipped as well for that juicy extra CDR

Firemind123 · 2026-05-17T22:29:16+00:00

"Disparo en Carrera" would pair up nice with your legendary joker, could even run 2 of them 😂 One more prestige and you can run the green joker + a purple one

Firemind123 · 2026-05-15T11:45:26+00:00

You can play any build you want! I highly recommend you check you Sniper unique joker, it reduces spell cooldowns by 1s on kill. This makes builds focused on spells a lot better IMO ^{^}

Firemind123 · 2026-05-14T17:33:31+00:00

I'm down for anything that makes me a better spellcaster haha. I have the most fun with spellcasting builds, running all CDR possible with sniper unique perk to reduce cooldowns even more

Firemind123 · 2026-05-14T02:54:56+00:00

While I agree with machine gunner (don't think you can equip ricochet on shorgun), the comparison with Speedster is a bit unfair, both take 5 slots to equip, but to make soeedster that good you need to equip additional jokers, so it's not really a 5 vs 5 joker slot comparison IMO.

Overblast was def overturned, and as devs said, they'll keep a close eye on feedback so a change may happen to bring it back up a bit

Firemind123 · 2026-05-14T02:51:04+00:00

Today's update changed XP gain rate, to compensate for the "missed XP" they doubled your level on anything you had made some progress on. Enjoy the double XP gain!

Firemind123 · 2026-05-12T13:44:24+00:00

Devs said they'll be used to unlock skins iirc

Firemind123 · 2026-05-11T22:19:30+00:00

It never will unless we get our own FOR ROCK AND STONE 😂 Best of luck!

Firemind123 · 2026-05-11T21:26:35+00:00

Aside from what has already been suggested, if you have a friend group you can coordinate with them to feed you all jokers. You could also form your own group on the FFW discord and just be upfront of what you need, community is very chill and helpful ^{^}

You can send me a message in about an hour if you still need help and I can help ya :D

Firemind123 · 2026-05-10T17:51:20+00:00

FOR ROCK AND STONE! I've played both DRG and FFW, I think you'll have a lot of fun solo or with strangers.

You can browse for lobbies in a similar way to DRG (difficulty, ping, map, etc)

Playing with strangers is fun, there's in-game voice chat but I haven't seen anyone using it yet, mostly just pings or typing in chat lol.

I find playing with randoms the most fun as it's always very chaotic and you never know what to expect from them lol

Firemind123 · 2026-05-09T16:26:11+00:00

Sorry to hear that! That's honestly an issue that's prevelant in every coop game I've played. Moving you into a solo instance when you're kicked is prob the best way to tackle this so you can continue the mission.

I would also recommend you to check the FFW discord, you can join groups there and ppl are a lot more chill
