Freyna Contagion Mobbing Build
Most Recent Update To The Guide: 03/11/2024

Build utilizing the Transcendent Mod 'Contagion', designed for high density mob clearing, most effective on the (400% dungeons and some Defense Spec-Ops like Fortress).

For dungeons 250% and lower, where the density isn't as high and the enemy spawn might be spread out, bunny is a contender, based on the user preference for those situations.

With this build you can still deal with Elites quickly by either letting the DoT of poison do the damage, or use her Ult gun, which has 28.3s cooldown.

With Decimator, you would be constantly with a bonus +50% Skill Modifier as your skill kills enemies.


Freyna Venon Injection Boss Build
For this build you will want to do a Shield-Based build to take advantage of the perks of the mod, having HP wont be as beneficial due to the effects the buff grants the player. (Refer to 'Venom Injection Mod' Section)


This is another version with Dangerous Ambush in mind for extra damage, sacrificing a bit of a shield value. Its what im currently using and recommending, if you can stay alive with a bit lower shield value.

A little extra information, you should alway change to EL, when the 4th skill is in cooldown

FOR GLASS-CANNON SOLO BOSS BUILD
If you go with this build, change 'SharpPrecisionShot' on the Secret Garden to 'Spray and Pray'
Venom Injection Mod
With this mod when you cast the ability, its a continuous activation ability, letting you turn it on/off as you wish, the same as Speed Of Light from Bunny.

Why would you want Shield and not HP on this Build?
- As the mod states, as long as the ability is activated it will drain your MP, since your HP is 1, but it will give the player a 5% Max Shield Regen per Second for as long as you have it activated, while also giving the player Toxin Resistance, Power Modifier, and inflicting the enemy hit with her skills with Corrosion, which reduces their Toxic Resistance.

Refer to 'Death stalker SS' for a idea of what it can do.

Why 2 Cooldown mods on the boss build?
Small section.

With this build you would have 93 bullets.
Using Death Stalker for example.
You would be doing at minimum 130k damage per bullet x 93 bullets = 12.090.000 total damage in 10s (the duration of the skill) every 30seconds which is the cooldown of the ult gun.

Edit: To shoot all 93 bullets within the default duration of the skill, you will have to 'animation cancel' by rolling after starting skill, same technique as lepics 'ult-gun'
Why Secret Garden is the Best in Slot for her Builds?
The reason Secret Garden is always a Best In Slot (BiS) for her is due to Pest Control unique ability it has, every time she uses her 1st and 3rd AoE abilities, there is a 50% chance of triggering the perk, increasing her Skill Power Boost and Firearm damage, making it deal more and more damage.

SG has 3 Stages of Skill Power Boost and Firearm ATK Boost:
- 1st stack: +5%
- 2nd stack : the previous +5% and an extra +16% = 21%
- 3rd stack : the previous 21% + an extra +16% = 37% total of Firearm and Tech Power
DOES NOT BUFF THE DAMAGE OF HER ULT GUN, WHEN YOU CAST THE ULT GUN ABILITY THE BUFF GETS DELETED

Secret Garden Build and 'Why Magazine Modifiers?'
As shown on the Screenshots, you will want Magazine modifiers on both mods + Sub-stats of the gun itself, you will want it as high as possible due to her Venom Baptism Ult Gun, taking modifiers of Magazine Size (See 3rd Screenshot),

Other than Magazine you will also want Firerate and Sharp Precision Shot, since it does influence how fast you fire, meaning you can shoot all 93 bullets before duration ends, eliminating the need of duration mods.

But you will only be able to shoot all 93 bullets when using the roll animation cancel, the same technique as used for Lepic Arm cannon.







What about this Build?
This Secret Garden build is meant to be used as a 'Stat-stick' for her 4th ability with Venom Injection Build, and skill spam of the Contagion Build, its NOT the best build for actually shooting it, but its usable if you wish to do so.
Mobbing and Bossing Reactor
From my experience and tests you can use the exact same reactor for bossing and mobbing, she already has a massive DoT and multiple instances of damage since she covers the arenas with poison puddles, making it unecessary to farm multiple reactors
BUT, if you will stand to go above and beyond min-maxing each build, these will be the reactors you will want
- Mobbing: Tech Boost + Toxic Boost
- Colossus: Tech Boost + Colossus dmg

Currently at the game, using 400% dungeons as reference, you can just keep the 'Colossus' Reactor at all times, not needing to change, for example, i use the reactor shown for both Mobbing and Bossing.

Slayer Set Externals
As always, Slayer Set for those sweet +26% base skill power boost.

Shield-Regen Gunbuild
What do i mean by that title?

This build is one made for players who just want to facetank almost everything, and only use their guns, not bothering with other abilities.

What does it do?

With venom injection, the player gains 5% regen of Max Shield per second, and with 31k shields it translates to 29498x0,05 = 1474 shield regenerated per second, and with a good amount of MP and reduced cost, you can keep this up and going for a LONG time.

OBSERVATION - IMPORTANT: ALL EXTERNALS FOR A SHIELD BUILD SHOULD HAVE MAX HP AS THE MAIN STAT, AND WHEN POSSIBLE, GET 2 PIECES OF INVADER SET, FOR +11% EXTRA MAX SHIELD



Really quick showcase on Post-nerf Gluttony, got hit on purpose to show what it is capable of, a extra info, you cannot facetank the shot that he does with his sniper arm.

Observe the cost of the ability and also observe at the end of the video where i got behind a pillar to trigger the non-combat stance, i didnt disable the ability, but notice the mp regen
