Remnant from the Ashes: Sniper / Crossbow builds vs Apocalypse bosses
Build 1:
Slayer set
Hive cannon
Crossbow / sniper rifle - hot shot
Frostborne / scythe
Heart of darkness / gunslinger charm
Akari warband
Empowering loop / ring of flawless beauty / burden of the gambler
The standard one shot build. The crossbow overall provides more damage than the sniper rifle due to it's faster reload. It also has built in stealth capabilities so it's great for world clearing. Use the sniper rifle for long range encounters, if you need a scope or if you just like big bang sounds! If using the crossbow, use heart of darkness. If using the sniper rifle, use gunslinger charm. These amulets will provide the highest damage for their respective weapons. Frostborne is there to provide freeze when you can, although you won't melee much with this build since you will be far away most of the time. Use the hive cannon to provide corrosion and self proc akari warband. The 2nd ring slot will be dependent on the situation. Emp loop for fight where you will hitting weakspots and non weakspots, flawless beauty if you are solely hitting weakspots and gambler if your enemy has no weakspot.
Build 2:
2 piece warlord, 1 piece slayer
Hive cannon
Crossbow / sniper rifle - hot shot
Gunslinger charm
Frostborne / scythe
Akari warband
empowering loop / ring of flawless beauty / burden of the gambler
The more optimized one shot build. This armor combination will provide the highest damage possible for one shot builds. The armor sets are multiplied separately, providing a bigger damage increase while also gaining the reload speed buff from slayer. I recommend you do not use heart of darkness on this build due to the dragonheart consumption from warlord.
Build 3:
Warlord set
Hunting pistol - hunters mark / song of swords
Sniper rifle - Hot shot / cold spear
Hero sword
Abrasive amulet
Empowering loop / burden of the gambler / akari warband / flawless beauty
Provisioner ring
Going full warlord on this one because you lose the slayer bonus due to constant weapon swapping. With this build you want to shot and then immediately swap weapons and shoot again. While you are reloading that weapon, the pro ring is reloading our stowed gun. Then rinse and repeat. Just a fun little sniper combo to play differently. Hot shot will be your best damage buff the majority of the time but use cold spear against enemies with fire resistance like Raze here. Apply corrosion via the sword / abrasive combo. The warlord life steal is very generous, so don't be afraid and play aggressively!
