Rafa - Ricochet Build

RICOCHET RAFA

🧠 BUILD OVERVIEW: “Ricochet Rafa”

A high-speed, ricochet-heavy gun build for Rafa focused on Peacebreaker cannons, shotgun ricochets, and Overdrive scaling via the Dancer Class Mod. Key themes:

  • Insane mobbing power: cannons shred enemies automatically.
  • Boss damage: amplified via TOR stickies, infinite ammo, and Overdrive stacking.
  • Non-bug-dependent but can use bugged options if desired.
  • Constant uptime on Peacebreaker cannons via skill and augment synergy.

⚙️ CORE MECHANICS & DAMAGE SCALING

  • Overdrive Bonuses (Dancer Class Mod):

    • Normally: +10% damage, +25% movement speed.
    • Doubled via Dancer → +20% damage, +50% movement speed.
    • Further doubled on kill via Sult node → up to +40% damage, +100% move speed.

  • Gun Damage Scaling:

    • Tamario node: +70% gun damage (×2 via Dancer and ×2 via Sult → ~280% total).

  • Peacebreaker Cannons:

    • Use Double Auto Autoshot mode (shotgun).
    • Count as indirect projectiles (scale from Ricochet tree).
    • Can ricochet and shotgun spread for huge AoE.

🧩 SKILL TREE HIGHLIGHTS

Left (Gun/Overdrive)

  • CTR: +25% gun damage.
  • Herga: refills action skill duration via Peacebreaker cannon kills.
  • Resilience: flat damage reduction.
  • Maestro: consistent flat damage.
  • Tamario: core gun damage node.
  • Sult: doubles all Overdrive bonuses (granted by Class Mod).

Middle (Ricochet)

  • Vitriol (5 pts): buffs Hot Slugger.
  • Pain Reaction (4 pts): increased ricochet chance.
  • Inspado (maxed): keeps Peacebreaker cannons active longer (key to uptime).

Right (Indirect/Ricochet)

  • Indirect Projectiles: +45% damage (affects cannons).
  • Errant Spark (4 pts): adds/incendiary damage bonus.
  • Ricochet Node: indirect projectiles gain ricochet chance (guaranteed on crits).

🧨 ACTION SKILL AUGMENTS

  • Instinto (default / mobbing):

    • Grants crit chance/damage → cannons ricochet more often.
    • On kill: refunds action skill duration (keeps cannons 100% uptime).

  • Bullet Buddy Deluxe (bossing):

    • Infinite ammo for 8 seconds.
    • Used to spam TOR stickies or Hot Slugger for burst boss kills.

🔫 WEAPONS

🔥 1. Hot Slugger (Primary Mobbing Weapon)

  • Type: Shotgun (Ricochet monster).
  • Blazing Barrel passive: +90% stacking damage.
  • Works with Peacebreaker procs, unaffected by Tamario’s handling debuff.
  • Benefits from Vitriol and ricochet nodes.

💣 2. The BOD (Bossing / Sticky Launcher)

  • Tor stickies variant = best non-bugged bossing weapon.

  • Scales massively with Bullet Buddy Deluxe (infinite ammo).

  • Recommended roll:

    • TOR Stickies.
    • Sniper ammo variant (highest scaling).

🧪 3. Optional / Alternative Weapons

  • Kickballer (Jakobs) – Bugged, one-shots bosses (kills you too).
  • Disc Fragment Quincseex – Bugged purple shotgun (Moxsy’s find).
  • Purple Stickies + Underbarrel (Taser) – bug exploit; stickies inherit underbarrel damage.
  • Spread Launcher Shotgun + Amp Rep Kit – one-shots with crit knife but inconsistent.
  • Wombo Combo – works but inferior to Hot Slugger.

🗡️ REP KIT (MELEE / KNIFE)

  • Recommended: Shiny War Paint

    • Fire rate + movement speed.
    • Optional: swap to Enrage for more damage or Accelerator for cooldown help.

  • Penetrator Knife – Best choice (not required, but strong).

    • Guarantees crits for ricochet chains.

🧥 CLASS MOD

  • Name: Dancer Class Mod

  • Key bonuses:

    • Doubles Overdrive bonuses.
    • +1 to Sult.
    • +Tamario points (as many as possible).

  • Ideal secondary stats:

    • Action Skill Duration (for cannon uptime).
    • Gun Damage / Damage Reduction.

  • Avoid: Action Skill Cooldown (useless).

🛡️ SHIELD OPTIONS

🧱 1. Super Soldier (Recommended General Use)

  • +Movement speed, +Fire rate.
  • Generates +1 ammo/sec (synergizes with Hot Slugger).
  • Great for bossing and mobility.

💥 2. Pandora Momento (Siphon Roll)

  • Siphon = lifesteal / overshield on damage.
  • High-capacity version makes Rafa nearly unkillable.
  • Best for survivability.

🎇 3. Fireworks Shield

  • Fun for mobbing, AoE splash.

🧩 ENHANCEMENTS

🧿 Primary Enhancement:

  • Bounce Pass (Jakobs) – adds ricochet to shotguns (synergizes with Hot Slugger).

    • Ideal rolls: Gun Damage + Shotgun Damage (multiplicative).
    • Alternatively: Shotgun Crit Damage (for Instinto setups).

🧩 Firmware Setup:

  • Trickshot – crits may refill ammo (sometimes leads to infinite fire loops).

    • Works well with Super Soldier for never reloading.

  • Alternative Firmware:

    • 3-piece Dead Eyee – stacking crit damage (consistent DPS).
    • 2-piece High Caliber – improves projectile speed (fixes Hot Slugger sluggish feel).
  • Riddle You This: strong early pick.
  • Daredevil + Now With Caffeine: instant rep kit restores cannons.
  • I Am a Gun: lets Peacebreaker cannons inherit gun damage (essential synergy).
  • Honed Vine: +crit chance/damage for cannons.
  • Optional: In the Zone or Best Defense for min-maxing boss DPS/survivability.

🚀 PLAYSTYLE SUMMARY

  • Mobbing:

    • Stay in cannons 100% of time (Instinto + Inspado ensures uptime).
    • Let cannons ricochet-kill everything.
    • Hot Slugger for assists / sticky kills.

  • Bossing:

    • Swap augment → Bullet Buddy Deluxe (infinite ammo).
    • Use BOD (Tor stickies) → spam while infinite ammo active.
    • Crit knife optional (speeds kill but not required).

  • Maintenance Tips:

    • Pop Rep Kit if cannons expire.
    • Stack crits carefully (don’t spam Instinto or you’ll drain action skill too fast).
    • Pre-activate cannons before fights to pre-stack Overdrive bonuses.
