🔥 Core Concept

This build focuses on Rafa’s Apophis Lance action skill, transformed by the Project: Gorgon capstone into a fiery laser beam. The laser pierces enemies, chains between multiple targets, and grows stronger the longer you channel it. By stacking cooldown reduction, charge efficiency, and Overdrive uptime, you can melt groups of enemies or shred bosses with consistent beams of energy.

⚙ Key Skills & Traits

• Project: Gorgon (Capstone) – Converts the Apophis Lance into a continuous laser beam. Holding the fire button increases damage, width, and chaining potential.

• Battery Subscription Service (Augment) – Adds an additional charge, letting you chain the laser more frequently or sustain longer beams.

• Preparado – Grants cooldown reduction on reload, keeping your action skill rotation flowing.

• Overdrive Traits – Focus on nodes that improve fire rate, reload speed, and handling when Overdrive is active. This ensures you’re always at peak performance during combat.

• Charge Management Skills – Abilities that reward partial charge use or early cancellation allow you to start cooldowns faster, maximizing uptime.

🎮 Playstyle Strategy

1. Crowd Clearing – Use the laser against groups of enemies to chain damage between targets. Position yourself so multiple foes line up, amplifying efficiency.

2. Bossing – Hold the beam longer against single, tough enemies to maximize raw damage. Combine with incendiary gear for devastating results.

3. Overdrive Looping – Your priority is to maintain Overdrive as often as possible. Cancel long charges when enemies are weaker so your cooldown begins immediately.

4. Gear Synergy – Seek gear that boosts incendiary damage, action skill cooldown, or projectile speed. Mods and shields that reward aggressive playstyles complement this build perfectly.
