[Devil]

What are the best skills to bring along or skills that are compatible with each other.

I know that there’s way too many variables because of different types of builds, but there must be a base line for each build.

[Blasterblitz]

Thanks for the reference, was annoying to wait for the scrolling on them after coming back later to upgrade.

[OvermasterP]

Thanks！

[Nonexistent]

It might be something I make at some point in the future, but it would have to wait for when I have obtained every Rogue part and weapon. Sorry. :(
At the very least, you can use the in-game filters to find missions with the parts and weapons you want and figure it out from there. The downside to this is that with the weapons, you can't filter specific weapons like you can with Rogue parts; you can only filter weapons by rarity, type, and attribute.

[SaberKai]

Can you best parts and weapons farm locations for Legendary if possible? I just finish chapters 11. So yup
