Thx for update. But out the 3 bowguns in description. Maybe a general reason 'spread', 'overall'. Maybe i dont wanna listen to a bowguns' lifestory thx.
as a HBG main i appreciate the tips you give (even if i know all of them), i do wish that they would make the radial menu not as bad as it is. for makeing ammo is too much of a chore now.
14:24 think you have an unnescessary weakness exploit deco there... 2 levels from dragonking eyepatch + 1 level from Kulve y coil already has you maxed out
In your PC Anti-Xeno Pierce build [ 14:56 ] you are using a Pierce deco AND the Rathalos Soul Coil a, effectively wasting either the waist slot or a large decoration slot
14:30 for the Kjarr Anti-Xeno Pierce build you are using dragon king eyepatch, KT Malice gamma, and a tenderizer jewel for 4 weakness exploit as well. Maybe for that build you would want to change the tenderizer for a shield gem and add a shield to the bowgun mods.
Ummm i know i'm late but i just got started using hbg and pierce ammo. Can i skip out on the pierce skill or do i really have to wear the rath soul coil if i don't have the deco
I've been using the Dark Devourer since your Behemoth video, and never looked back. Thanks for all your detailed info! I actually got my first win against Behemoth a couple weeks ago, and had no problem taking down the Ancient Leshen and AT Teostra with it as well. HBGs are amazing for Kirin too. I often help Low Ranks with Kirin (or the 2x Tempered Kirin quest) because it's so much fun blowing that horse up from afar and I know how much that fight sucks when you're a lower level.
>Lunastra tries to do her thing "Sit down" >Lunastra gets up, attempts her bullshit "Sit. Down." >Lunastra gets up, pumps up and prepares her firebreath "I've already asked you to sit down, and I will not ask again"
Out of topic here, and I don't know where to comment this, so I'll just comment here since this is your latest video Thanks to you, I'm now using the HBG, Dark Devourer specifically. I am still an IG main, with the Gunlance as my secondary, but using the HBG feels good to just feel what a real hunt is like. Last night, AT Lunastra came to pc, and immediately I joined the fray of randoms to complete the armor set. Despite the usual Sticky build that is totally weak to fire (Fire Defense is only 5 with Fire Res jewels!), it was so awesome to be at the back of the fray and doing KOs left, right, and center. It was so awesome in fact, that I managed to deal 6-7 KOs per hunt. Your guides on bowguns helped me understood them inside and out. In fact, it was thanks to you that I had my first HBG, the Dark Devourer, and just did sticky for the time being. But I now have a solid pierce and a decent spread build respectively since then. Thank you. I am sure that this guide will us pc players once we get AT Zorah and AT Xeno.
I started watching your videos about 2 months ago and they are a godsend. I love your builds and guides, and I hope to see some vids on the best bow, light bowgun and charge blade builds in the near future.
Love Spare Shot, especially with the ammo types you can only carry a few of. Shield mod also gets pretty useful when your solo and have no one else to take aggro
Tarroth Assault Water isn't over Taroth Assault Support imo. That extra 7 raw isn't worth sacrificing the large decoration slot the Support comes with and the built-in Critical Element on the Water doesn't come into play at all when using pierce ammo.
I saw your cluster bomb guide a few months ago and started using the dark devourer, I can only say I'm fascinated with that HBG but still use my other weapons like the CB, LBG, HH and the lance thanks to the RNG in hero and warrior streamstones
12:05 - "I never use the Head" (xenojiva y). 9:19 Shows build that uses XJ Y head to fight KT. Not pointing this out just to have a gothca moment. Just wanted to say the head is definitely worth it because while the skills arent the best, it has has great Deco options. Having it be your 3rd piece to get the bonus isnt too bad aince the deco slots allow for flexibility.
I use pierce on KT and get great damage. We just prioritize tenderizing the arms and chest and head. Then, nothing but beautiful crits light up in rapid succession
I haven’t read any comments yet but I appreciate the Undertale music I thought the game was dead and no one liked it anymore but I still have hope I just don’t want to see any comments saying that the games really bad because lots of people don’t play it anymore or something (complaining about the musics fine)
Pretty informative..even though I'm just going through the story right now with a heavy bowgun. :) Thank you for this! I was so confused at the start..going through...pretty much all the ammo types to try to figure out what I needed to use and then it dropped mods in my lap and I'm like"Uh..okay..more to learn" lol
as a newbie who watch this guide i feel like you are doing "PAA!PAA!PAA!PAA!PAA!" insane amount of dmg but when i'm using it, its like pa!.... ouch... pa!.....ouch but thx for the guide
Yeah, it's worth it. Even with FreeEle/AmmoUp Lvl 3 (clip size of 8 for the Glutton) RazorSharp/SpareShot still nets you about a 5% dps increase with the potential of a LOT more if you get really lucky. It can also help you to keep your stagger chain going without losing dps if you are smart about your reload or just lucky. Furthermore you don't really lose much by putting them on.
So where does the kjarr magma fit in? It's very similar to the magdha gemitis except it cant use flaming shot or sticky ammo but the magma has access to para, sleep, poison level 1 as well as the level 2 ammos, and it has access to slicing ammo as well as having 10% positive affinity out the box. The only other downside is the fact that it only has 1 augment slot compared to the magdha gemitus 2 augments. I feel like the thing is you can use your other non explosive ammo on the magma since you have positive affinity out the box and you also gain access to lvl 1 status ailment ammo and on top of that the kjarr magma has crit status on the gun so that makes the status even better. It's so up in the air and I dont know which one to consider better...
I have all those kulve tarroth guns and I wasn't even trying to farm for them, until I started looking up HBG guides for Ancient leshen I didn't even know what I had. The winning strategy I developed for AL with Randos is hot swapping to a different HBG between each encounter. Glutton at phase 1 one of the anjanath base tarroth HBGs that has a huge selection of ammo types I get my poison, paralyze, and fire ammo but it also has OK sticky, Slicer and and cluster ammo, in phases 2 and 4 this means I get more knockdowns and better crowd control and the slicer ammo helps when he is teleporting frequently because it helps randoms find him sooner, phase 3 I go back to glutton for DPS. Great list, great guides. would love to know your current LBG tier list, I have a bunch of these from Kulve too and I have no clue what is good.
the one ranged atk and close range atk for pierce works out better than 2 ranged atk up. The reason behind this is that many times you are closer to the target than you really think you are.... you know cause it wants to kill you 'o.O anyways so what happens is that the close range activates for the first half of the shot then as the bullet gets to the end of the monsters body the long range activates.
I've just beaten Vaal Kazak but can build the dark devourer. Any good armor recommendations for a poor player to start building towards the recommended dark devourer cluster bomb setup in this guide?
Hey does anyone know how to fix the bug where you sheath your weapon on pc (ranged) and it brings out your slinger. i changed the key for slinger already. It's annoying as hell gets me killed
Found a small error. In the general pierce build you have a shield deco for guard up, but no shield mod on the bowgun. You use recoil and 2x ranged 2 instead. Great guid though. Helped me tweak my pierce build.
Hello sir there is unnecessary tenderizer jewel on your build for kjarr assault water.. dragoneye has 2 weakness exploit and kulve malice y has 1 weakness exploit.. may i ask sir why piercing jewel is unnecessary for #3 build? Im new for the weapon hbg thank you for the answer
Dark Devourer over the Xeno/Luna HBG with built-in Xeno set bonus for cluster bombs? I thought that the build freedom given by not being locked into three pieces of Xeno gear would be better. Or does that change when AT Xeno gets added? Should the PC still be using the Dark Devourer despite not having that AT Xeno gear?
Can’t wait for the excitement in this game to be revived in iceborne. I’m so happy they gave us the trailer early, lets us know they’ve got something big coming
>Empress Styx is such a fun, versatile HBG. Spareshot built in, great for pierce, super fast sticky 1 spam, and even slicing if you need a tail. Great for casual play on just about anything. >Magda Gemitus is #1 for group play since you can spam Sticky 2/3 on the face for endless knockdowns and also get 2-3 Paralyzes on the monster as well. I'll gladly give up Dark Devourer and trade in 5% of my dps in order to paralyze the monster for 10 seconds and have a group of 4 people all dealing their full damage to it.
I disagree with Styx HBG being good. It doesn't do anything really that other guns don't do. Pierce? Go legiana. Cluster bombs? Go dark devourer. Elemental? Go Kijarr HBGs or Styx LBG. Slicing? Styx LBG, Slicing HBG is baaaaad

Half a decade later, decide to replay this wonderful game on pc, and try HBG. its weird that, I progress with bone shooter to play with spread/wyvern, and then upgraded into diablo tree (griffon blazooka). I miss the spread playstyle, so I build iron assault (normal/piercing), to get nergigante tree (destruction fusillade). item design is weird XD
Question, for the dark devourer is it worthwhile swapping out the artillery charm for the attack charm if you have artillery jewels?, .2 which is more viable skill to use dark devour:slugger/peak performance? And 3. Is it worthwhile running two attack augments with the dark devour ?(i was and desperate and mad for attack jewels and still havvent got one after over 500 hrs so pls dont hunt me.)
I believe he posted a build video for Dark devourer. Most run health aug vs attack simply because you are hit so often with it. PP is good as long as your good at not getting hit or just run Shield mod with guard up helps as well WHILE slugger is good if you are doing a stick ammo build (look up AT kushala Daora he has a build that does that). If you have the artillery gems i would use them and you run attack or crit charm. You can get currently in the game 2 free attack charms one from early in the main story and another from the witcher collab having pukei pukei be your PIC lol. Maximum might is another good option since you hardly ever run low on stam unless you rolll ALOT lol. Hope this helps!
Double health is much better for Devourer as HBG's have very slow sheaths making it hard to heal. It makes fights much less stressful. Also don't do what that other guy said. Crit skills do not apply to explosive damage. As for Peak vs Slugger, that's up to you, but in multiplayer I doubt Slugger will help a lot, but in offline it's quite good.
Controversial opinion here: I personally like kjarr assault "horn" since It let's me use a lot of different ammo types and I already know that it may not be the best and it also doesn't do anything particularly better than the other heavy bowguns, but I think that's the point
@@AssertiontoThrone the kjarr weapons' novelty is they have a built in skill to improve elemental/status dmg, so it may have an advantage in certain situations
please can you help with a good set for dark devourer without Gamma sets? they are are not easy to make .... so i kinda wanted to make a Alfa/BETA set to help farm
Dude the element ammo doesn’t effect non elemental boost, it’s the weapon itself that counts not the ammo if it’s a bowgun, if the weapon in general has no element then the non elemental boost will effect it, even if the bowgun has element ammo
I don't really use sticky, but it irks me that the Kjarr Assault Magma lacks the sticky. It still feels good to use and can carry more cluster ammo while also having innate critical status. The Kjarr Magma can paralyze quickly as hell through crit status and still use spare shot from Xeno'Jiiva to effectively get out many extra shots before reloading. Still, with sticky. I know it would get an insane amount of play. It might still be good, bit that depends on the paralysis thresholds I have no idea about
So glad that every decent build in the game requires 0.01% Drop rate items to even fight the monsters they come from efficiently. Makes for great gameplay as a new player.
Hey, unfortunately I didnt get the xeno'jiva armor set as I just got back into MHW and missed that event. Is there any other armor set that would compare to if I were to do a similar build to your Dark Devourer build? Thanks!
I exclusively play melee weapons but the desire sensor keeps giving me streamstones for LBG/HBG so maybe it's a sign! I have to ask though: Do you augment your HBGs? If so, what augments do you apply to your Dark Devourer? Thank you!
I realized that i was almost exclusively using the dark devourer to fight high tier monsters. I think i've actually gotten worse at the game just using cluster builds on hightier monsters
I just realised that cluster bombs should not be aimed at the head at all because there is no benefit in DPS. I want that Ciri armour for bowguns, but 4 Ancient Leshen kills was not enough for me.
Yeah it's UNDERTALE from Undertale. Amazing song. it's been three, almost four, years but if you don't want to spoil the game for yourself I wouldn't listen to it before playing. It's kinda a key song. edit: looking at the rest of the video, all the songs are from Undertale
The only fun style of HBG for me is Wyvernsnipe. A weapon has to have a something that you look forward to using for me to want to play it. Wyvernsnipe just feels so good. Its a shame clusters are still broken.
I too find Wyvernsnipe impossible to resist using. Wyvernheart just sucks. They shouldn't have given it that mechanic of ramping up damage until you miss a SINGLE BULLET...
What about Luna's "Ruin" - it's improved version of Nergi bowgun with better damage, decoration slot and life steal? I'm using it as shotgun, because i don't have "glutton"
Most of the Luna Bow guns are good. Styx is because of the amount of ammo you get with it and spare shot. You really cant go wrong with Ruin and you can stack health aug for ALL THE HEALS
Health for sure, sticky, wyvern and cluster recover a fair deal of health, affinity is usless and I'm quite sure since this one already has very high raw the damage augment will only slightly increase it's damage, not enough to be noticeable.
I don't have that Kjarr heavy bowgun yet... Trying to get all of them, though. It'll show up eventually All four of the rarity 8 Taroth guns, I do have. Thankfully I was able to finish AT Xeno completely solo using your lbg solo build with the fire and freeze ammo. Still learning to use heavy bowguns as the play is so different from the light bowguns
Try a sticky build on Kirin. It's actually pretty hilarious how easy it makes the fight. That poor horse will spend 90% of the entire fight just lying on her side because of the endless KOs into more KOs.
I sold all non-orange weapons when farming KT including the glutton. Now I'm interested in playing HBG and realize I messed up bigtime, ,lol. I did get every element of kjarr CB's though cept the diablos one as well as all the kjarr bows ;-)
There was a youtuber who kill AT lavasioth under 5 mins using cluster and vanilla armor set I can't remember who it was. U should search for him in youtube
I use kjarr assault spark.. slicing sticky thunder sleep and paralysis and high clips for all.. and why don't ppl use agitator. It's by far the most powerful skill in the game.. 3flawless and 4 challenger give you a additional 36 attack you combine that with attack boost monsters stumble easy AF.. this is why I learned how to build.. I'm getting 60 over all attack and thats before food or drugs or a horn.. turning a heavy bow gun with 330 dam to over 500
5 ปีที่แล้ว
If you build for cluster bombs you don't use artillery, since that skill doesn't affect cluster bombs.
In the general Pierece build at 14:15 you're geming in Guard Up, but you don't recommend a shield mod. That's fine by me since I'm still getting used to HBG and will use the shield mod anyway, but perhaps you'd like to address it? Also thanks for the video, I'm an advanced player but bowguns have never been a priority to me, so I'm starting now and these optimized builds are great to learn.
Slash ammo builds absolutely murder Kirin, AT Kirin is easy with a slash ammo build. High affinity and attack WE. I use Drachen armor for it and it really is easy to handle. It completely ignores all phases and does a set damage per shot. You will need to go to camp at leat 1 time during a solo run to resupply ammo.
At 9:19 should say RELOAD mod rather than RECOIL.
At 14:56 unnecessary Pierce decoration

I use the Madaros HBG for phase 4 of AT KT all the time for cc and WS and the explosive ammo.
14:24 think you have an unnescessary weakness exploit deco there... 2 levels from dragonking eyepatch + 1 level from Kulve y coil already has you maxed out
I like that you pinned the mods on bottom of skills page. Makes it easier. Well done my friend
In your PC Anti-Xeno Pierce build [ 14:56 ] you are using a Pierce deco AND the Rathalos Soul Coil a, effectively wasting either the waist slot or a large decoration slot
Thanks for pointing this out hopefull others read it as well
14:30 for the Kjarr Anti-Xeno Pierce build you are using dragon king eyepatch, KT Malice gamma, and a tenderizer jewel for 4 weakness exploit as well. Maybe for that build you would want to change the tenderizer for a shield gem and add a shield to the bowgun mods.
Ummm i know i'm late but i just got started using hbg and pierce ammo. Can i skip out on the pierce skill or do i really have to wear the rath soul coil if i don't have the deco
@@rimuruo_o2018 wear the coil until you get the jewel. It's a damage bump that'll make it stronger, definitely recommend.
9:18 uses xenojiva gamma head
12:04 "i never use the head"
Should of aimed for the head
I've been using the Dark Devourer since your Behemoth video, and never looked back. Thanks for all your detailed info! I actually got my first win against Behemoth a couple weeks ago, and had no problem taking down the Ancient Leshen and AT Teostra with it as well. HBGs are amazing for Kirin too.

HBG OP
>Lunastra tries to do her thing
"Sit down"
>Lunastra gets up, attempts her bullshit
"Sit. Down."
>Lunastra gets up, pumps up and prepares her firebreath
"I've already asked you to sit down, and I will not ask again"
Every build has Xeno'Jiiva gamma armor and I'm here on PC like... Maybe someday we'll get that, too.
Use 3 piece xeno alpha or beta. It's pretty much exclusively used for the set bonus so you aren't really missing much.
He's out now :D
It’s nice to see practical builds instead of pure meta-minded “YOU-MUST” style arguments
14:19 Why use a Shield decoration if the build does not have a Shield mod?
Always loving your guides. It actually feels relaxing listening to your chill voice
Can you update the light bowgun guide?
This is amazing! So glad you're covering this material :) Been following you for almost a year now thanks for everything!
Out of topic here, and I don't know where to comment this, so I'll just comment here since this is your latest video

That's great! I think you'll also enjoy Griffon Blazooka for AT Kulve when she commes to PC. Speaking of which I should livestream some AT Luna now
The undertale background music is too tranquil for a video that is all about getting the most damage out of HBG
I started watching your videos about 2 months ago and they are a godsend. I love your builds and guides, and I hope to see some vids on the best bow, light bowgun and charge blade builds in the near future.
Thanks! I will probably do LBGs soon enough
Love Spare Shot, especially with the ammo types you can only carry a few of. Shield mod also gets pretty useful when your solo and have no one else to take aggro
My first kt run I got kt fire ls ..my second run I got r7 glutton hbg ..rip rng for next 2 years
Tarroth Assault Water isn't over Taroth Assault Support imo. That extra 7 raw isn't worth sacrificing the large decoration slot the Support comes with and the built-in Critical Element on the Water doesn't come into play at all when using pierce ammo.
It's time to sleep
They're pretty much interchangeable imo. I also dont need that extra jewel slot so just use what you like better.
Yes! If you do an updated Top LBG List that would be amazing!!
i love pierce ammo build. it make me feel like a sniper, stay far away from danger and still take control of the fight
I saw your cluster bomb guide a few months ago and started using the dark devourer, I can only say I'm fascinated with that HBG but still use my other weapons like the CB, LBG, HH and the lance thanks to the RNG in hero and warrior streamstones

Well, I typically dont use the head, but really its the chest that I never use! Idk I say a lot when Im talking fast lol.
Realy useful content! Your AT Xeno counter build has 4 lvls of critical boost and weakness exploit
your vids are always helpful and one of the best guides for HBGs
Your guides and builds are an inspiration. Thank you.

Same here, there's barely anyone playing on the European servers atm. Makes some monster hellishly difficult to deal with
21:41 Nice sound
15:19 I'm assuming you mean Elem Resist L. Because if XL exists and I haven't figured that out after 1200 hours, I'm gonna feel pretty damn stupid

Just want to say I appreciate your builds and guides. Also you always have good intro music
Thanks!
with spread ammo you have 6 - 7 shots, is it important then, that you have ammo up and/or free shot, i think its space waisting
Yeah, it's worth it. Even with FreeEle/AmmoUp Lvl 3 (clip size of 8 for the Glutton) RazorSharp/SpareShot still nets you about a 5% dps increase with the potential of a LOT more if you get really lucky.

I'm not sure if this was pointed out already but if you are running a tank HBG against Behemoth, you'll want guard up to block some of his attacks.
Half a decade later, decide to replay this wonderful game on pc, and try HBG.
its weird that, I progress with bone shooter to play with spread/wyvern, and then upgraded into diablo tree (griffon blazooka).
I miss the spread playstyle, so I build iron assault (normal/piercing), to get nergigante tree (destruction fusillade).
item design is weird XD

Bazelgeuse: GIBBEEEEYY!!!!
Question, for the dark devourer is it worthwhile swapping out the artillery charm for the attack charm if you have artillery jewels?, .2 which is more viable skill to use dark devour:slugger/peak performance? And 3. Is it worthwhile running two attack augments with the dark devour ?(i was and desperate and mad for attack jewels and still havvent got one after over 500 hrs so pls dont hunt me.)
I believe he posted a build video for Dark devourer. Most run health aug vs attack simply because you are hit so often with it. PP is good as long as your good at not getting hit or just run Shield mod with guard up helps as well WHILE slugger is good if you are doing a stick ammo build (look up AT kushala Daora he has a build that does that). If you have the artillery gems i would use them and you run attack or crit charm. You can get currently in the game 2 free attack charms one from early in the main story and another from the witcher collab having pukei pukei be your PIC lol. Maximum might is another good option since you hardly ever run low on stam unless you rolll ALOT lol. Hope this helps!
Double health is much better for Devourer as HBG's have very slow sheaths making it hard to heal. It makes fights much less stressful. Also don't do what that other guy said. Crit skills do not apply to explosive damage. As for Peak vs Slugger, that's up to you, but in multiplayer I doubt Slugger will help a lot, but in offline it's quite good.
@ I built the load out to utilise both sticky and cluster bomb ammo
Controversial opinion here: I personally like kjarr assault "horn" since It let's me use a lot of different ammo types and I already know that it may not be the best and it also doesn't do anything particularly better than the other heavy bowguns, but I think that's the point
Distorted Colors how does that fair against the Magda gemidus? It also has a huge variety of ammo types, but no idea who does more dmg since I'm on PC
@@AssertiontoThrone the kjarr weapons' novelty is they have a built in skill to improve elemental/status dmg, so it may have an advantage in certain situations
Its not bad I shouldve mentioned it. You give up damage to have better ailments
If only it could run elementless
please can you help with a good set for dark devourer without Gamma sets? they are are not easy to make .... so i kinda wanted to make a Alfa/BETA set to help farm
but how am i going to make the dark devourer build without a bunch of attack gems and artilery and the challanger/flawless gem
Dude the element ammo doesn’t effect non elemental boost, it’s the weapon itself that counts not the ammo if it’s a bowgun, if the weapon in general has no element then the non elemental boost will effect it, even if the bowgun has element ammo
14:15 has guard up jewel equipped and doesn't have shield mod on bowgun... Wait... What?
@TheGameconomist if idont have that xeno y, should i use xeno a or b?
I don't really use sticky, but it irks me that the Kjarr Assault Magma lacks the sticky. It still feels good to use and can carry more cluster ammo while also having innate critical status.
The Kjarr Magma can paralyze quickly as hell through crit status and still use spare shot from Xeno'Jiiva to effectively get out many extra shots before reloading.
Still, with sticky. I know it would get an insane amount of play.
It might still be good, bit that depends on the paralysis thresholds I have no idea about
Yes I was so dissapointed when I spent time with that weapon, I was hoping it would be top tier
I know it’s late game but does anyone know where in the rotation Xeno’jiva Y will be coming back? Every build seems to revolve around it 😫
The 26th
What kind of augmentations do you use?
Is the dark devourer any good for anything other than cluster bombs (assuming you're not using an ammo build)?
So glad that every decent build in the game requires 0.01% Drop rate items to even fight the monsters they come from efficiently. Makes for great gameplay as a new player.
Welcome to MHW
Hey, unfortunately I didnt get the xeno'jiva armor set as I just got back into MHW and missed that event. Is there any other armor set that would compare to if I were to do a similar build to your Dark Devourer build? Thanks!
@TheGameconomist btw what is the augmentation for all of these weapons you did mention here? please reply me thank you
Loyal thunder and demonlord beastbuster are all you need.
Spread 3 and sticky 3 are straight cheese
Any builds for those who don't have the Tempur armors? Pls thank you
I exclusively play melee weapons but the desire sensor keeps giving me streamstones for LBG/HBG so maybe it's a sign! I have to ask though: Do you augment your HBGs? If so, what augments do you apply to your Dark Devourer? Thank you!
Can you do gunlance builds?
Loved the video
I have done a top 5 gunlances video!
@@TheGameconomist How about sns ?
Really want to get good at it
I realized that i was almost exclusively using the dark devourer to fight high tier monsters. I think i've actually gotten worse at the game just using cluster builds on hightier monsters
You think a health regen augmentation is useful with the kjaar assault water?
@ 924 , you have a shield jewel, but no shield mod.
I just realised that cluster bombs should not be aimed at the head at all because there is no benefit in DPS.
I want that Ciri armour for bowguns, but 4 Ancient Leshen kills was not enough for me.
Yes, Clusters count as explosive damage. So you can aim for the ends of the wings to avoid your teammates on a knockdown
Can we play with spread ammo worthly with the devil jho HBG? I just dont want to play with cluster all the time, my allies gonna hate me...
can i know the BGM used in the very first part of video ?, i like it so much
I'm pretty sure it's track 71 from the undertale soundtrack.
Yeah it's UNDERTALE from Undertale. Amazing song.
it's been three, almost four, years but if you don't want to spoil the game for yourself I wouldn't listen to it before playing. It's kinda a key song.
edit: looking at the rest of the video, all the songs are from Undertale
The only fun style of HBG for me is Wyvernsnipe. A weapon has to have a something that you look forward to using for me to want to play it. Wyvernsnipe just feels so good. Its a shame clusters are still broken.
I too find Wyvernsnipe impossible to resist using. Wyvernheart just sucks. They shouldn't have given it that mechanic of ramping up damage until you miss a SINGLE BULLET...
God only knows how much i love your vidoes
What about Luna's "Ruin" - it's improved version of Nergi bowgun with better damage, decoration slot and life steal? I'm using it as shotgun, because i don't have "glutton"
Most of the Luna Bow guns are good. Styx is because of the amount of ammo you get with it and spare shot. You really cant go wrong with Ruin and you can stack health aug for ALL THE HEALS
Unfortunately its a nice weapon but doesnt deserve to make the tier list
I forget add "it's the best of craftable spread bowgun")
Thanks for your great vids!
What augmentation would you recommend for the dark devourer
Health for sure, sticky, wyvern and cluster recover a fair deal of health, affinity is usless and I'm quite sure since this one already has very high raw the damage augment will only slightly increase it's damage, not enough to be noticeable.
Can a hbg spark replace the water?
your pc build for pierce uses a coil for pierce shots and you have the pierce jewel in your slot
Hey Mr Gameconomist What are your thoughts on the Kjarr Assault Horn? Thought it would get at least an honorable mention
Taroth Horn is better imo
I don't have that Kjarr heavy bowgun yet... Trying to get all of them, though. It'll show up eventually
All four of the rarity 8 Taroth guns, I do have.
Thankfully I was able to finish AT Xeno completely solo using your lbg solo build with the fire and freeze ammo.
Still learning to use heavy bowguns as the play is so different from the light bowguns
HBGs and LBGs are two of the most similar weapons classes in the game, you'll get the hang of it
Eventually!
I think I'm going to invest in playing with piercing and sticky ammo set. Tha k you for the builds
Try a sticky build on Kirin. It's actually pretty hilarious how easy it makes the fight.
That poor horse will spend 90% of the entire fight just lying on her side because of the endless KOs into more KOs.
@@trapical lol, I use slicing against the pony and sticky while it's ko'd but never used a pure sticky build
I sold all non-orange weapons when farming KT including the glutton. Now I'm interested in playing HBG and realize I messed up bigtime, ,lol. I did get every element of kjarr CB's though cept the diablos one as well as all the kjarr bows ;-)
For PC, what would be your build for dark devourer since we don't have AT Xeno yet?
Just slap on normal Xeno (RazorSharp/SpareShot is of utmost importance) and stack as much raw as you can and as many defensives as you need.
What if you want to use the dark devourer but you don't have gamma armor what would you use
Use the alpha or beta version
@@pradipta1233 I don't think they offer the same skill
@@Rainwolfgaming562 yes it's gonna be weaker and have less deco slot, but it's your only option for spareshot
There was a youtuber who kill AT lavasioth under 5 mins using cluster and vanilla armor set I can't remember who it was. U should search for him in youtube
Ok I will thank you
23:18
TDS : _insert_ _shockedpikachu.jpg_
At 14:28 you put in 1 extra Tenderizer Jewel
I see a lot of builds involving KT stuff and I'm thinking "So if I misses KT I just uninstall huh?"
Shes coming back in 2 weeks for one whole week
I use kjarr assault spark.. slicing sticky thunder sleep and paralysis and high clips for all.. and why don't ppl use agitator. It's by far the most powerful skill in the game.. 3flawless and 4 challenger give you a additional 36 attack you combine that with attack boost monsters stumble easy AF.. this is why I learned how to build.. I'm getting 60 over all attack and thats before food or drugs or a horn.. turning a heavy bow gun with 330 dam to over 500
If you build for cluster bombs you don't use artillery, since that skill doesn't affect cluster bombs.
In the general Pierece build at 14:15 you're geming in Guard Up, but you don't recommend a shield mod. That's fine by me since I'm still getting used to HBG and will use the shield mod anyway, but perhaps you'd like to address it?
Also thanks for the video, I'm an advanced player but bowguns have never been a priority to me, so I'm starting now and these optimized builds are great to learn.
What about the anjanath bowgun?
Slash ammo builds absolutely murder Kirin, AT Kirin is easy with a slash ammo build. High affinity and attack WE. I use Drachen armor for it and it really is easy to handle. It completely ignores all phases and does a set damage per shot. You will need to go to camp at leat 1 time during a solo run to resupply ammo.
How did you get all those attack jewels ?
