Sticky Build

[AceAceAce]

I'm curious if the affinity and critical effect the sticky build ?? Like which one is bad/useless and good/useful for sticky build ?

-Does the sticky damage is cap ??

What important things need to remember if u using sticky build ?? Just want to be clear...

[Lain]

if i recall, i havent played sticky lbg/hbg since before iceborne & i may be wrong

but sticky is boosted with raw attack and artillery skills
and doesnt get affected by crits at all
like i said i could be wrong

[Kiwimaru]

Current skills to aim for in sticky builds are
Artillery (3/5)
Razor sharp (you will use a lot of ammo)
Agitator
Attack up
Peak performance
Slugger (yes sticky has KO values)

In this order of importance

Any crit modifiers do not affect sticky damage. It only scales with attack and boosts like artillery and feline bombardier. And yes, the damage CAN be capped, so it's not worth stacking all of the attack skills in the world. Usually, with buffs applied, something like a few levels of agitator, peak performance and attack boost 6-7 caps the damage out. It's also much comfier to go for artillery 3 and nargacuga's set bonus(true spare shot) over zorah's artillery 5 and normal spare shot charm. You gain, roughly, ~14% more free shots with TSS over SS. The damage difference is negligible, but generally speaking you spend more time actually shooting and less time reloading. It's especially noticable if you use cluster bombs alongside stickies when monster is floored.

Tried a Sticky/Pierce Blackwing Bowgun build but I just couldn't get it to stick, no pun intended. Was constantly out of Sticky ammo even in solo before it really did anything, crafting it in the heat of the moment was annoying too.

Juggling evade reloads for two different ammo types also hurt my tiny brain too

take blastnuts with you, and gunpowder level 3 you can craft in the radial menu you can set it to craft all- you need to cradt sticky 1 than you can craft sticky 3. you will get used to it.
For stickys i prefer the magda gemitus vulcan HBG mods are reload 2x recoil 2x and long barrel
if you need to play with shield get the ishvalda HBG wich has auto reload on sticky 3.

What lbg good for sticky ?

[langnao]

Before rajang destroyer drops, go from shara HBG. Its one shot auto reload u can pair with shield mod and power barrel. Go for artillery level 5 armor skill, level 3 KO gems. Basically increase the raw attack of ur HBG also affects sticky so augment attack for u weapon. For extra boost, felyne bombardier food skill increase ur skick dmg too (~20+). When rajang drops, get the HBG, its also 1 shot auto reload. Use spareshot charm for more sticky during fight and carry items for auto crafting. When monster is down, switch to spread shot and ur sticky can last longer.

Fading Blossom is best LBG for sticky 2 build atm.
You can easily reach Sticky capped dmg with this LBG with only ATK 5 + Peak Performance 3 + Atk L Bombardier food, which allow plenty of room for another skills (Artillery 5, Slugger 3)

Magda gemitus vulcan is still the sticky, status and cluster meta HBG
but most players dont use it because you cant make it work with 4 shields

mods for the magda gemitus vulcan are 2x recoil 2x reload 1x longbarrel
