For anyone watching this for the release of Hailey, the mod setup in this video is close to what you would want to use for her. If you are using this for Hailey and want to min max, replace Better Insight and Insight Focus with the blue Magazine Size mod and any of the purple ones as well (I used the one with crit damage secondary stat). The reason you want mag size is because it makes her ultimate go for 4 shots to 7 shots and you will hit 100% crit rate with her buff ability without those mods.
I apologize for not mentioning a budget setup in this build. I will try to start talking about that in future videos. For the Afterglow Sword for budget option, drop Insight Focus, Focus Fire, and Electric Enhancement. If you need to drop more than that, I would drop Concentration Priority next, and then Weak Point Expansion last. And on a final note, I didn't mention in the video but figured someone may ask, I recommend against using Real-Life Fighter in general because you likely won't be able to keep stacks up. Would only recommend this on Gley with infinite ammo and even then you need to land almost all of your weakpoint shots for it to be worth using.
Going to be honest, it’s an ultimate weapon. There’s no need for budget, you always full send when it’s the best in slot. And you never pretend you can deal damage on a budget. That’s how you are left disappointed👌🏼 I didn’t farm any bosses until my Guns were fully maxed out then I farmed for my lepic who I fully maxed out before trying any boss again. So don’t feel bad. People should know that “if you want the damage I show, you gotta commit”. If you don’t commit, good luck lol
Just when I was looking for a weapon to max while I farm bunny evo kills. Btw I’m also that luckbanana guy that keeps commenting on your Reddit posts how odd it is that you always post the thing I’m looking for :D Keep up the good work!
So glad.i subbed, good explanation and understanding. Clear narration and likeable creator! Ty for the vid, i have afterglow and had no idea how to build it.
Would you say Python or Enduring Legacy is better for bossing? The only other gun i have built is thundrcage and it takes a long time to build up guns, i wanted your opinion before i invested in either weapon :3
I would say enduring legacy even if you're going gley. enduring does way more damage than python and it's unique passive is actually useful for pumping out more damage vs python which is only good for DoT characters like freyna and valby. also enduring can hit a massive 7.0 crit DMG if you're running a character with a firearm crit rate buff like valbys supply moisture. you'll end up with like 60% crit chance and 7x crit DMG. you'll be hitting Colossus weak points for over 100k each bullet and with a mag of 150+ rounds, that's a massive amount of damage compared to python whose only use is it's fire rate and weak point damage.
The issue with it is it cant be used in boss fights until you kill a bunch of ads and collect blood orbs. It could be great for one shooting reactor bosses and such.
Meui!!! Only thing that that’s keeping my sanity in work is your videos. This came right in time.. Also thoughts on Secret Garden pairing up with your Viessa build showcase? Since her blizzard is Tech
My Afterglow Sword have roll : Firearm ATK 12.2% Firearm Critical Hit Rate 10.6% Firearm Critical Hit Damage 18.4% Weak Point Damage 11.4% Should Re-Roll it ???
I’m going to go against the crit rate roll and here’s why. You will never get 100% crit rate from any weapon by themselves and on top of that 5% crit rate (from the multiplicative 10% crit rate roll) does not make that much of a difference. I will also advise against edging shot because you will lose out on 35k damage. It may not sound like much but it does greatly affect the post damage calcs for sniper rifles in general. 80% crit rate after a hit is more than good enough anyway. Instead you want to go both attack mods, blue crit rate mod, every crit damage mod you can squeeze in, and every weak point mod you can squeeze in as well. Not only that but a QoL mod for ammo would be nice, hopefully you won’t need to use it but going into group play you might actually need it and we’ll have the space for it anyway. The last slot I will just leave without a cat and get whatever extra damage I can squeeze out from an elemental mod. It’s still a good build but just not how I would build it.
The unique affect isn’t flat crit rate by the way! It’s a % based off the gun so at T4 afterglow it’s 22.5% CC = 11.25% on the gun, with a CC rolled on the gun and both CC modules you achieve 100% CC. Another thing to note is that it’s not possible otherwise and is the only gun achievable of getting 100% cc but only on a perfect min maxed afterglow build. I think that this build would be the best because less RNG for crit means always consistent DPS.
@@MeuiYT you said it was flat CC, so I made the comment as soon as I heard it, liked the video! I love the afterglow and try and watch videos to see if there’s anything I can improve
Basicaly put every damage mod like any other weapon and pew pew, wow this game building is soooooooo complex, its almost like playing POE but on a shooter lol
@@Haammieee There is not that many actualy its mostly like 90% of the time the 2 ATK% mod, 2 crit mod and for the last 4 yoy most of the time have 2 more crit or you have a bit of mix to compensate some of the weapon issue, like if it has too much recoil you take focus and so but most of the time it will be weak point and fire rate and go pew pew. There realy only a few weapon that have some specific use and will use particular yellow mod for some combos but even there you mostly have all the above mods
@@MeuiYT so mad because called out, take the nearly only weapon that you dont build much crit and think that invalidate the point lol just proves it actualy

Hey bro found your channel via Reddit. Appreciate your work and thorough, no-nonsense videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Just when I was looking for a weapon to max while I farm bunny evo kills.
Btw I’m also that luckbanana guy that keeps commenting on your Reddit posts how odd it is that you always post the thing I’m looking for :D
Keep up the good work!
I thought it's just me. He is posting everything I literally think of building next. Even ultimate ajax next.
So glad.i subbed, good explanation and understanding. Clear narration and likeable creator! Ty for the vid, i have afterglow and had no idea how to build it.
ty gang, much needed
Kewl content as always, whats your next gun showcase? Greg?
Not sure yet I'm dry on Catalysts again and looking to do a descendant next but definitely thinking about doing Gregs next
We need to know for sure, which sniper rifle is best???? The commjnity seems to be split on Afterglow Sword and Piercing Light.
Would you say Python or Enduring Legacy is better for bossing? The only other gun i have built is thundrcage and it takes a long time to build up guns, i wanted your opinion before i invested in either weapon :3
I think Python is better if you are using Gley, if not then Legacy clears.
As the previous comment stated, unless you are fully invested into Massive Sanguification Gley I would recommend sticking to Enduring Legacy.
Thank you both! >~
I would say enduring legacy even if you're going gley. enduring does way more damage than python and it's unique passive is actually useful for pumping out more damage vs python which is only good for DoT characters like freyna and valby. also enduring can hit a massive 7.0 crit DMG if you're running a character with a firearm crit rate buff like valbys supply moisture. you'll end up with like 60% crit chance and 7x crit DMG. you'll be hitting Colossus weak points for over 100k each bullet and with a mag of 150+ rounds, that's a massive amount of damage compared to python whose only use is it's fire rate and weak point damage.
Python, if you can hit weak points, if no, legacy
Very nice.
Great build!
quick question, do you replace the "Electric Enhancement" module if you play against a boss that is resistant to electricity?
Nope I just keep it. If i was to make that slot a flex slot i would need to drop levels down on other mods and lose damage anyways.
You can make a flexible space for this moduls I do on all weapons too 16 capacity flexible
Which sniper is better?
How does electric enhancement incur a defensive debuff on bosses?
Its built into the element type. Its a very small debuff but still helps a bit. It happens when you proc electrocution which is 33% chance on AG
Think this is the best sniper?
For bossing yes
can this be used on piercing light too?
Is Demonic Modification worth using with this?
The issue with it is it cant be used in boss fights until you kill a bunch of ads and collect blood orbs. It could be great for one shooting reactor bosses and such.

My Secret Garden isn't built out right now sadly so it wouldn't make for a very exciting video :( I do plan to get to that weapon eventually.
My Afterglow Sword have roll :
Firearm ATK 12.2%
Firearm Critical Hit Rate 10.6%
Firearm Critical Hit Damage 18.4%
Weak Point Damage 11.4%
Should Re-Roll it ???
I would keep it unless you have 1000 gold bricks lol. Youre just fine dont worry
