To any veteran players about elemenatal damage
Do you really recommend using matching weakness element on a gun vs colossi (flat ele atk + ele dmg increase) vs critdmg + critrate + max ammo + reload speed.

Personally, numbers at sienna lab tell me that ele is trash

This game is out for 2 weeks. Veterans dont exist and yeah they are worth it. All 4 element enhancement mods should be leveled up...

Depending on which weapon you're talking about(I assume it's Thunder Cage) you'd want firearm damage, crit rate, crit damage, fire rate, mag size, then fill in the highest "Add X Atk Equal to Firearm ATK." Ele mod as the last thing.

Does having participated in every beta and 220h MR20 not count as veteran by now?

It matters. And doesn't take that long to set up. Same for the resist.

Game was out for longer if you include the betas. That's why some people already know how to deal with frostwalker or hangman.

It is preseason xD. But if you want to get called Veteran and it makes you feel better it is ok lmao

Also not all weapons are crit based nor descendant has the ability to make crit viable.

Based on gun stats.
20% crit or more - can use crit build
atleast 1.5 weak dmg modifier - can use weak build
none of the above (like tamer) - pure dps + ele build

its +30% damage at max, its worth it if you match it to weakness. i think it also crits, but doesnt do weak point from my testing.

So if a gun like Thunder Cage has higher base crit rate and crit damage, it is better to aim for crit mods than [elemental] enhancement mods?

need to think of it in terms of damage buckets.

wep atttack (x crit) (x weak point)

my THunder cage does like 9.7k normal.
crit is 42k.
weakpoiont only is 20k
weakpoint crit is 89k per buller.

If you've invested a lot of Catalysts into your Thunder Cage, you'll be able to fit any elemental damage blue mod you want as the last slot.
I don't recommend using a catalyst for the elemental mod slot though, as every type of elemental damage has a different mod socket type.

lan doesnt have enemies with massive weaknesses

yes, slap on an enhancement for the elment a colossus is weak to
no, dont put on the 2nd purple mod that also augments that, you dont really need to worry about that

Elemental effects are underwhelming but they add a little more oomph to weapons that have no significant crit rate or weakpoint.
