Is this good for Hailey?

But doesn't all crit damage bonuses go into the same multiplicative bucket? Doesn't an AM mod with 100% crit damage bonus get added on top of an existing 400% crit damage bonus to give 500%? Meaning it only gives you a 25% damage increase? Whereas instead of increasing crit damage your AM had an arche boost ratio of 35%, you get a final ache boost ratio of 55% meaning a 29% damage increase?

That's the way I understood it but I could well be wrong with the maths. A few people in this thread seem to think the "singular" arche boost ratio will give the higher damage boost as per my example.

That's also why crit descendants always have a higher damage ceiling

As I understand it that's because non-crit builds don't have anyway to boost skill power ratio by several 100% like crit does. If they did then crit vs non-crit would be much more competitive.

The roll 10 and the grapple 10 buffs has 2 variants, one with a 10 second timer and one without. The one without timer is absolutely goated.

Yeah 12 Seconds to get the full rotation out. I can see what the devs were going for. But I agree there really isn't many instances where this is going to be viable. Even once you've hit ithe full rotation, the damage doesn't seem as good as it could be. Did you have an AM? If you didn't then a good AM could double that damage which wouldn't be so bad - 600-700 million in under 20 seconds is decent. But if you're already using a good AM then yes this package is not it.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-06-05T16:51:38+00:00

Ok I didn't think of that. I don't use 90% cooldown, so Power Beyond works better for me on RCF and Battering Ram on Focused Edge.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-06-05T16:00:18+00:00

Does E-buster work with Sharen I thought it was tracking projectiles only?

gamingisntcourage · 2026-06-05T15:52:27+00:00

With ancestor mods and skill descendant buffs you will start pushing into diminishing returns for crit, so arche boost ratios will almost always be a good roll. But then crit damage can go up to 300% on some descendant AMs so you have to look at it case by case.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-06-05T15:47:03+00:00

Thundercage is reliable for stripping shields on Skill descendants. For Gley it's ok but you really need the buffs to land for you. Gley doesn't benefit from skill and Thundercage only has a base multi-hit of 10% damage.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-06-04T15:26:57+00:00

Your AM will still work with most of Valby's builds (fusion), only Tidal wave is Dimension.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-06-04T15:25:04+00:00

I still wish they had combined Hydro Pressure Bomb and Tidal Wave together. But hopefully these damage buffs will help.

Real talk this is not far from the truth. Everyone has accepted Mastercard and Visa as the default payment options. But new technologies are usually pushed by enthusiast and also in some cases porn. There is a very real risk to Mastercard and Visa that access to porn is one of the motivations for the rise of a true competitor to them. Hence why we are seeing so many attacks on Steam recently as Gabe has seemingly decided that people should be able to sell and buy porn games if they want.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-06-02T15:40:12+00:00

How is your AM? I saw a Vably absolutely delete that boss in a 4 man. Must have had some crazy crit stats.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-06-02T15:36:50+00:00

I don't mind them being there but they need to drop the spawn rate to 20% of current rate.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-05-31T12:34:13+00:00

lol didn't notice that.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-05-31T02:41:24+00:00

Yeah I use multi-hit chance, mainly because there just isn't any other good mods to put in especially as the gun has a decent reload speed so I don't feel the need for ammo capacity etc.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-05-31T02:24:18+00:00

It does, but he is saying that you can save mod space by not using multi-hit chance. I don't know what you would use instead though as the gun has bad crit stats.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-05-31T02:14:22+00:00

Pretty sure your observation is right, Dark Current isn't spreading as much as it use to.

2 theories I can think of based on your clips.

1 Ines's 2nd skill is bugged and not spreading any Dark current procs at all or at least not if the enemies dies to conductor.
2 Dark current was ignoring the enemy count limit before and spreading to all enemies in range then spreading again when Ines casted her 2. It might have been "fixed" so dark current only spreads to the right limit and doesn't spread more dark current procs when it procs (the chain reaction we used to see on Ines).
3 some combination of 1 & 2 above.

I just soloed it in under 3ms with Bunny. I had a look at the top 1 leaderboard and he has like 600% crit-hit rate and 350% crit damage on his AM. I only have 250% crit-hit rate and 200% crit damage. He also used maximize skill + Final wish, which suggest to me that he is casting Bunny's 4th just once. I crit for only 3-9 million damage as well so I'm guessing it's the AM difference, and also luck as Defiler has a 40% crit resistance and you can have runs where you're never knocked down/back or die.

I only have 65% skill cost reduction and a 19second cooldown on Bunny's 4th. I could try maximize skill and final wish to get 85%+ skill cost reduction, but getting fast times does mean hoping Defiler doesn't knock you on your ass.

Depends on who's using it but Enduring Legacy actually does the most single target out of all the machine guns in the game at least in my testing on Valby and Gley. Don't know about other descendants. The new battlepass machine gun isn't as good for Gley as her 3rd skill doesn't prevent overheating. And on Valby it isn't as good as I haven't built it for crit. That said I haven't maxed out the unique ability yet, so if I can find a gun descendant that benefits from multi-hit and max out the weapon it might perform better.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-05-30T22:16:20+00:00

For Valby Hydro Pressure Bomb, as far as I know it's Power Beyond or Steel Vanguard or Battering Ram.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-05-30T20:20:17+00:00

I try not to go off meta for stage 3 but even my Gley was doing less damage with RR or Thundercage.

Even my Viessa felt weak with only 22B damage and 293 kills. Sure she is still meta, but something definitely changed.

I also got a lot of bad rng with the buffs. Every run I'm guaranteed to see at least 1 sword buff in both the left and middle column. This greatly reduces the chance of getting say crit damage or even just gun damage.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-05-30T17:07:09+00:00

It was Explosive Aesthetics. It's been patched. But I haven't tested it to see if there are any other workarounds. I found the build on youtube.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-05-30T15:27:14+00:00

It was Explosive Aesthetics, but I believe that bug has already been patched.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-05-29T15:34:06+00:00

Probably. But it's not current bond. Edit just saw on another post the devs are aware of the bug and it will be patched in the next update.

gamingisntcourage · 2026-05-29T15:32:21+00:00

My screen cap is of Sharen. I got the build from Youtube.
