Gun setup help mid/max

[Chapel]

I currently am using a Drum Mag Core gun w/Heavy barrel. I setup to Snipe targets every recovery day.

Gun setup is as follows:

1) Heavy - w/Condensed 2, Strong 4, Mighty Swing 2, Multiplier 2, Chain, and another Chain.

This sniper shot deals 145k roughly every shot.

2) Chain - w/Condensed 2, Strong 4, Advanced, Cascade 2, Chain, and Chain

This tesla coil does 3 to 4 million damage and one shots every rail gun guy that shows up, even in City 5 with full risk cards.

2) Chain - w/Condensed 2, Strong 4, Cascade 2, Chain, and Chain (no advanced, gun only has 5 slots)

This tesla coil does 1.5 to 2 million damage and one shots every rail gun guy that shows up, even in City 5 with full risk cards.


The question is, what am I missing to get more damage? Especially on the sniper shot. I could have this setup all wrong and it just happens to work. I am not a XEN expert by any means.

Thank you for feedback.

Try Gale with Light Strike x2, Elemental Entangle x2, Chain x1, Intensify II x1.
If you have Explosive Core Gun you can change Intensify II with another Elemental Entangle

Make sure to shoot gale NEAR and towards the target, instead of ON it, to maximize the hits.

Why the Elemental Entangle?
They dont hit the same target, just target "around it" but i just tryed out Gale in the shooting range.
That thing has maybe some good Bosskiller potential just not sure what combination for it (5x chain looks funny with 6 tornados^^)

Oh yeah, you're right, I got carried away with mobbing, changed Elemental Entangle with Condensed II and that made it better for single target. Still need to test on Omega if 6 tornados would have higher dmg vs other Xen combinations.

Come back and let us know?!

DAMAGE TEST PER SHOT
Location/Target:
Infinity Siege 2
Wave 5 Omega

Xen:
Gale - Chain x6
Damage: Roughly under 5%

Gale - Light Strike x2, Condensed II x2, Chain x1, Intensify II x1
Damage: Around 10%

Chain - Chain x1, Advanced x2, Condensed II x3
Damage: 30%~

I gauged the damage based on the health bar.

Also don't ignore the performer trait. You basically make yourself a walking damage booster. I just stand and snipe from the middle of all my front guns passively giving them all a damage boost.

Make sure your ignore the performer trait, since it only works while emoting and even then fails to register on most turrets

Hmm seemed like it was adding damage for me but maybe not. I'm sure they will fix this.

Thank you Raizen. I'll have to find a Gale to try out.

Is Gale > Chain after the nerf to Gale?

I must be doing something wrong with Gale. In the shooting range it does decent damage, however on tour I go to clear a squad of scorpions and the tornadoes just kill the first one it hits then disappears. This makes it very weak at mass killing where a chain will sit there a pulse killing the entire pack.

Am I doing something wrong?
