| Build Merits | This build continues the raw damage domination of Heavy Bowguns with skills centered around using Pierce Ammo. Aim to shoot at a monster's weakspot to maximize your damage output with the help of Critical Boost, Weakness Exploit, Pierce Up, and Chain Crit. Use Qurious Weapon Crafting and augment Devil's Conduit to expand its Rampage Slots to three, which will allow you to use Daora Soul Jewel 3. As with most HBG builds, Wirebug Whisperer is maxed out so you can use your Silkbind moves more frequently. This cooldown reduction is significant enough to make Shield Mods unnecessary in hunts, allowing you to use Power Barrels instead. |
