Warning

This build is optimized and meant to be used only in Kurzan Front. For Ebony Cube please use a Raid build.

Enhanced Weapon Deadeye uses all three of his stances, but most of his damage comes from Shotgun skills. In exchange, Handgun and Rifle skills provide exceptional mobility and utility, as well as back-up damage skills.

Swapping stances grants you the following effects:

• +23% Crit Rate
• +14% Crit Damage

It's important to note that your Shotgun skills must be used in close proximity to the enemy, otherwise they lose a significant portion of their damage potential.

All attacks with a Back Attack affix receive +10% Crit Rate and +5% Damage when they land on the target's back-side indicator. It is important to position yourself accordingly as much as possible to take advantage of this.

Deadeye Identity

This build focuses on maneuvering around the target in order to consistently find yourself behind them, in close range, to take advantage of your Shotgun skills' close shot attribute. When forced to disengage, you can shift to Handgun and Rifle skills to keep attacking.

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.
• Try your best to maintain your Synergy using AT02 Grenade and Spiral Tracker, even if you aren't planning to attack immediately after.

Stagger Check

• Using skills in this specific order is recommended for short stagger checks. Remember you can also use a Whirlwind Grenade if you have one equipped!

Gems are another significant aspect of your build, as they directly impact the damage and cooldowns of your skills. You can equip up to 11 gems at a time. Here are the ones you should focus on to maximize this build's potential, listed according to their priority.

Engravings are a core part of your build. You can equip up to five at a time, freely swapping between them.

Recommended Setup

• Grudge
• Ambush Master
• Keen Blunt Weapon
• Cursed Doll
• Adrenaline

Bracelets provide beneficial effects to yourself or to your party members depending on the rolls they have.

The primary goal is to get the main stats used by this build - Specialization and Crit. After that, you should be aiming for Special Rolls to get more damage. Please note that this system is heavily reliant on RNG, and you should not expect to get much more beyond your main stats early on.

The recommended Elixir Set for this build is Critical.
