As I said in my previous The First Descendent guides, knowing how to build your character can make a big difference in winning.
One character that stands out is Lepic.
This article will show you how to build Lepic to do the most damage to bosses, while still being good for everyday fights and missions.
Who is Lepic?
Lepic is known for being able to do some of the biggest damage to bosses in the game. When set up right, Lepic can be super strong. This guide tries to balance that boss-killing power with things that make the game more fun to play, like having enough health and defense.
This way, you can have a character that’s good at lots of different things. Everything we’re sharing here comes from a lot of testing during quite a long gameplay and help from other players
Skills Overview
- Grenade Throw:
- Base Damage: Solid but can be enhanced with additional abilities.
- Overclock: Adds burn to grenades, significantly boosting damage with a 20% skill power modifier. When set up, this ability enhances your grenade and overkill damage for approximately 33 seconds, all with a manageable 20-second cool down.
- Traction Grenade:
- Highlight: Possibly one of the most underappreciated abilities.
- Effect: Can scale its range, pulling in numerous enemies, reminiscent of abilities from other games like Warframe.
- Overkill:
- Signature Move: Transforms Lepic’s arm into a unique weapon.
- Mechanics: Functions as a weapon swap, nullifying benefits from stat sticks. This powerful move requires balancing between maximizing shots and managing mana. When executed correctly, Overkill becomes one of the highest damage-dealing abilities in the game.
Optimal Build Steps
1. Reactor Setup
- Desired Stats: Fire skill power and Tech skill power.
- Example: A ‘God roll’ reactor with skill critical hit damage and additional skill damage against Colossus can substantially amplify base damage.
2. Weapon Selection
- Focus: Fire rate and precision.
- Sharp Precision Shot: Critical for increasing fire rate. Holding down the trigger is essential to maintaining the increased fire rate, avoiding a decrease if interrupted.
- Impact Rounds: Preferred due to faster stacking of fire rate benefits.
3. Enduring Legacy
- Crit-Based Build: Ideal for maximizing damage.
- Mods: Prioritize critical hit rate, damage multiplier, and fire rate enhancements.
- Fire Conductor: Useful for mobbing, capitalizing on fire damage boosts.
Budget and Bossing Setup
- Core Mods:
- Maximize HP to ensure survivability.
- Enhance power and dangerous ambush for damage increases when the boss is immobilized.
- Blend skill chance and damage with skill extension to maintain duration.
- Solo and Group Efficiency:
- Avoid builds that excessively increase cool-downs, making the character impractical in group settings.
- Aim for balanced mods that provide consistent damage output and quality of life.
Complementary Components and Mods
Mobbing Configuration:
- Utilize mods that increase range and cool down reduction.
- Focus on skills such as the traction grenade, expanding its range dramatically with mods like maximize range and skill expansion.
Mindful Component Layout:
- Annihilation/Volcanic Sets: Combined for maximum HP and damage.
- Mana Management: Essential for bossing setups. Equip components that boost mana recovery out of combat, and in combat, and maximize MP stats.
Practical Demonstration and Tips
Using the grenade capabilities thoroughly, alongside the traction grenade for grouping enemies, makes Lepic’s build exceedingly effective in mob scenarios.
Highlighting HP for survival while maintaining substantial DPS ensures a robust gameplay experience.
- Skill Utilization:
- Regularly employ Overclock to maximize burn damage.
- Use Traction Grenade in mobbing settings to control and decimate enemy groups.
- Weapon Handling:
- Switch mounts to optimize fire rate benefits.
- Ensure the weapon build complements the mana management and critical hit strategies.
