Other useful Skills
- Shatter Bullet - always use this instead of loading your pistols with bullets. It deals massive impact and inflicts Pain.
- Infuse Light - you get this ability by joining the Holy Mission faction. It adds onto the existing lightning damage of the Butcher Cleaver.
- All the boons - use them depending on the enemy you face. For added damage, use Discipline (physical), Mist (ethereal), Blessed (lightning), Possessed (decay, MAKE SURE TO GET THIS BEFORE JOINING THE HOLY MISSION, look at this skill's wiki page for details).
For additional impact, use Enrage, use Cool and Warm for added defense and weather defense
- Reveal Soul - Use near human corpses, then use Spark on the blue orb to restore mana.
- Talus Cleaver - use in the earlygame to inflict Crippled and Pain
How to use this build:
1. Make sure you load both your guns before combat with shatter bullet, equip the cannon pistol first
2. Deploy your instruments using the Haunting Beat and Welkin Ring abilities
3. Infuse your weapon with either Infuse Light or Infuse Wind
4. As you engage your enemy, fire your pistol, hit them a few times, then swap to the chimera pistol and fire again. Your enemy is now affected with the Confusion, Pain and Elemental Vulnerability status effects, increasing your impact, physical and all elemental damage. Confusion also allows you to instantly deplete their stability using Sweep Kick.
5. Bait your enemy towards your instruments, try to make sure you can hit both your enemy and the instruments.
