[Ask] Meta Build: Why micro missiles?

[Rage.Overflow[FRZ]]

I know the appeal of large mace and in some extend atomic bazooka (although imho, bazooka needs dedicated augment).

But I don't know why some people put micro missiles from head to toe. May I request some enlightenment?

Thank you.

I'd imagine that it's the fact that they rack up the hit counter very VERY quickly and sufficient multipliers on them turn them from small damage into big bursts, but I could be wrong.

8x builder part micro missiles do ridiculous damage, and also instantly hit the 300 hit for level 9 hit combo. Then you use cooldown on parts break on your weapons, and another 1x micro missile from ZZ backpack or Lightning backpack and you can spam 320 missiles or more per 8x build part launch, and launch them every few seconds.

2 volleys of 2x Micro Missiles almost guaranteed to rip off enemy leg when targeting 1~2 of them, then finish them off with Ground Break which easy 300k+ damage each.

it's micro and a missile

Anything that hits multiple time quickly in a row is an easy tool to break parts away because the game has an hidden "life" meter for each part that will break away regardless of the damages done.

This is why machine guns and gatling guns can break part in barely a sec once an enemy is flinching even if they only chipped barely a tiny bit of HP away.

For example, if you use an attack that throw the enemy in the air, then shoot your micro-missile right at it while it floats, you'll easily get 3-5 MS parts.

Because there's no such thing as overkill: stack 'em with Heavyarms' leg/arm missile launchers, then with the right abilities and at a high enough level/attack power they'll all eventually knock down every present drone MS in the field.

Same. I love the way the animation looks. I'm just lucky they're mechanically great to boot.

Also keep in mind you can overlay builder parts on top of one another, if you don't want to have eight hanging out in eight separate spots. You can just stack them together in the same location if you want.

I mean just shrink them down a little and find a place for them, it's generally worth the effort. Only time you wouldn't want to bother is if you're going to be swapping body parts.

Cause missiles can be chained together onto 1 op slot, and cause funnels now cast an ex gauge per additional funnel linked (seriously 8 gauges to use an ex skill). Missile builder parts in general have always been pretty strong.
