In exchange for losing access to your other weapons, you gain the following effects:

• +75% Damage to Handgun skills
• +50% Damage to Clay Bombardment
• +40% Stagger

This build focuses on maneuvering around the target in order to consistently dodge their attacks, while retaliating using your Handgun skills in a highly mobile and extremely stylish playstyle.

Priority Order

• While this build does not have a specific rotation, using skills in the order presented above is recommended when you first engage the enemy. Due to the chaotic nature of encounters, you may have to improvise and adapt as the fight goes on.
• Make sure to use Relentless Assault often to take advantage of the buffs it provides.
• Try your best to maintain your Synergy using AT02 Grenade, even if you aren't planning to attack immediately after.
