Light Bowgun

[Calandir]

Hey I wanted to ask LBG mains, what do you like in this weapon? Why do you main it? What's the appeal?

[MR Whiskas]

The main appeal of LBG is the movility and the better use of elemental ammo thanks to rapid fire (despite not been that good on World)

Also Sticky Ammo is so fun to use with LBG

Flexibility.
LBG has a build for almost every whim: elemental? Check.
Support? Check.
Sticky/status? Check.
Raw Normal 2 in Rapid Fire? Check.
Raw Spread 2? Check (I even used it against fatty once).

Plus general mobility.

Mobility, versatility, simplicity, elemental damage, crowd control.

Safi's Aquashot is the best Sticky there is, and also the best water, best pierce and best status effect there is. I used this gun to solo Fatalis the first time and the next 300 times (I literally killed over 500+ before I quit the game), and this gun still carries new players who have never killed Fatalis before via support/damage build. My damage is no joke, not as much as all out attackers, but I provide all the crowd control available for Fatalis. I paralyze the thing and place it in front of roaming ballista to allow my team to break the head immediately after the first phase ends. Its sticky breaks anything that melee cannot easily break, like wings or head. I sleep it in front of the dragonator to give it 50% more damage. The set has part breaker to to contribute to horn/eye break, while still having Heavy Artillery to handle cannons and roaming ballista. I can kill it in about 13 minutes solo. The same goes for AT Valkana, which can be slept under that giant crystal stalactite, immediately taking away about 30% of its HP.

Spread 2 3 set allows it to kill it in about 11 minutes by simply spraying at the chest.

Gold Ian or Silver Los were never a problem as you can cruise around shooting wing to wing.

Is that actually a thing?

Oh Yes. And funny enough, uses the Taroth "Blitz" support as weapon (upgraded to level 12). The same weapon that was already queen of sticky status build in HR (dethroned by the aqua shot in MR for that build).
