Vortex Gaming

· This is a Hunter build designed to overwhelmingly defeat bosses and farm exclusive weapons in the new 'Rushdown' game mode of the Guardian Games event.
· This build is a modified version of a previous build that soloed the 'Witness Raid boss', capable of easily handling any boss in Rushdown.
· The core is utilizing the 'Lucky Pants', 'Crimson', and 'Uncivil Disobedience' Hand Cannon combination.
· Maximize Hand Cannon damage by utilizing the 'Illegally Modded Holster' stacks from Lucky Pants.
· 'Crimson' is a 3-burst weapon, advantageous for quickly building stacks, while 'Uncivil Disobedience' is a Special ammo Hand Cannon that deals massive damage at high stacks.

· Lucky Pants grants the 'Illegally Modded Holster' buff for 6 seconds when you ready a Hand Cannon.
· Each time you deal direct damage to an enemy with a Hand Cannon, a stack is gained, up to a maximum of 10 stacks.
· Each stack provides 45% increased damage, totaling 450% increased damage at maximum 10 stacks.
· Fire 'Crimson' three times (3-burst) to quickly gain 9 stacks, then switch to 'Uncivil Disobedience' for one shot to reach 10 stacks and deal 450% bonus damage.

· The Lucky Pants build is highly effective not only for boss damage but also for clearing adds.
· You can build 'Illegally Modded Holster' stacks with 'Crimson' to deal powerful damage to adds as well.
· After the Lucky Pants buff expires, a 'Misfortune' debuff is applied for 10 seconds.
· During this debuff, it's recommended to use the 'Reconstructed Sniper Rifle' obtainable from 'Renegade'.
· The Reconstructed Sniper Rifle with the 'Auto-Loading Holster' perk deals immense damage, filling the damage gap during Lucky Pants' cooldown.
· Damage Rotation:
· 1. Fire Reconstructed Sniper Rifle
· 2. Fire 'Crimson' three times (3-burst) (9 stacks)
· 3. Switch to 'Uncivil Disobedience' for maximum damage for 5 seconds
· 4. Deal damage with Reconstructed Sniper Rifle during 'Misfortune' debuff

· The Prismatic subclass provides various buffs such as increased weapon damage, enemy debuffs, and increased weapon damage when Transcendence is active, making the Hand Cannon combo even more powerful.
· Super: Use 'Deadfall'. With recent buffs, it provides one of the most powerful debuffs in the game, allowing you to deal massive damage to bosses.
· Melee Ability: Use 'Snare Bomb'. It weakens enemies for additional damage when your Super is not available.
· Grenade: Use 'Grapple Grenade'. Grapple melee attacks are also considered empowered melee attacks, allowing them to activate the 'Facet of Dawn' effect.
· Facet of Dawn: When an empowered melee attack hits an enemy, you gain the 'Blade of Light' buff, increasing weapon damage. Both Snare Bomb and Grapple melee attacks can activate this effect, granting both an enemy debuff and a self-buff simultaneously.

· Facet of Purpose: Gain an Overshield whenever you pick up an Orb of Power, increasing survivability. Especially useful in high-difficulty content.
· Facet of Hope: Your class ability regenerates faster when you have an elemental buff (Overshield, Blade of Light, Amplified).
· Facet of Protection: Gain increased damage resistance when surrounded by enemies, boosting survivability.
· Facet of Blessing: Melee final blows start health regeneration. Both Snare Bomb and Grapple melee attacks can activate this effect.
· First Aspect: When used with 'Gambler's Dodge', you gain the 'Amplified' buff, 'Jolt' nearby enemies, and instantly regenerate your Snare Bomb melee ability. This reactivates 'Facet of Dawn' to gain 'Blade of Light' and further speeds up class ability regeneration via 'Facet of Hope'.
· Second Aspect: When used with 'Threaded Specter', using your class ability creates a decoy that draws enemy aggro and increases team survivability.

· This build heavily relies on weapon damage, so it's crucial to maximize your weapon damage output.
· Class Ability Stat: Aim for around 50-70. This helps you frequently use 'Ascension', maintain the 'Amplified' buff, regenerate Snare Bomb, and create 'Threaded Specters'.
· Melee Stat: Aim for at least 50, ideally 50-70. This allows you to activate 'Gambler's Dodge' even without enemies to regenerate Snare Bomb.
· Grenade Stat: Helps reduce the cooldown of 'Grapple Grenade' to maintain high uptime.
· Super Stat: Maintain a moderate level to increase the uptime of the 'Deadfall' Super.

· Recommended mods for each armor piece are as follows:

· The 'Illegally Modded Holster' buff from 'Lucky Pants' resets its timer if you re-equip a Hand Cannon when you have 6 or fewer stacks. Be careful not to accidentally consume the buff. If the boss disappears or you miss a damage window, you can swap weapons to reset the buff and start over.
· Throw 'Snare Bomb' to weaken enemies and gain the 'Blade of Light' buff, then build stacks with 'Crimson' and switch to 'Uncivil Disobedience' for maximum damage.
· Use 'Ascension' to create a decoy, distract enemies, and deal damage to nearby foes with the 'Jolt' effect.
· The 'Reconstructed Sniper Rifle' can be fired much faster by repeatedly pressing the reload button while firing, allowing you to maintain high damage even during the 'Misfortune' debuff.
· The 'Deadfall' Super applies a powerful debuff to the boss, significantly increasing the team's overall damage.
· It's important to throw 'Snare Bomb' even after using your Super to maintain the 'Blade of Light' buff.
· When the 'Transcendence' Super is activated, weapon damage increases by 5%, further contributing to your damage output.
· Using this build, the 'Rushdown' Grandmaster difficulty was cleared in 8 minutes and 46 seconds, recording 178,000 boss damage and proving its overwhelming performance.
· This build is effective even in the highest difficulties, ensuring a high success rate at any difficulty.
