5. SKS Pathfinder: Recommended Equipment and Configuration Blueprint 🛡️
- ✅ If Synchro and Void are difficult, we recommend Doomed Decree or Spot On as sub-weapons.
- ✅ For critical builds, you can achieve a 100% critical chance by using Recurve Crossbow and Crit Knife together.
- ✅ We recommend a stable style for the configuration blueprint because of the high recoil.
- ✅ We recommend Glocken Stompers as dedicated armor, and Attraction is also good.
- ✅ Crisis or Savior are good for both Elemental and Critical builds for general armor.
