Light Bowgun Armor Sets

About this page

  • Armor set includes armors until TITLE UPDATE #2
  • Armor sets do not take in consideration skills inside of charms; only slots matter! As such, having god charms can make your armor set more powerful. Charm slot used are 3-2-0 OR 4-0-0.
  • ALL ARMORS SHOW HAVE NO QURIO SKILLS (even if the augment option may be unlock they DO NOT have skills.
  • Shown weapons are still not fully augmented; however augments are not taken in consideration for the creation of this builds.

COMPARED TO OTHER ARMOR SETS; FOR THE NATURE OF BOWGUNS; THOSE SET ACTUALLY INCLUDES WEAPON SLOTS.

Video of the sets


Shot Type

Normal: best for focused damage; overall consistent.
Pierce: best in damage and consistency if the target has several weakzones.
Spread: best in damage but inconsistent; requires to stay at close range.
Shrapnel: super consistent; barely requires aiming, however damage is lower than other physical option. Really good to destroy Qurio core.

Elemental / Elemental pierce: best if elemental hzv is 20 or more

Any explosive: good for support, requires restock in the end game as a "explosive only build" not suggested.

Slicing: no.

About elemental choices.

In order to keep up with monsters high HP values it is REQUIRED to use bowguns that both carries normal elemental shot AND piercing one; otherwise you will RUN OUT OF AMMO and you are forced to restock. Restocking IS A HUGE TIME LOSS and an exploit.

Marksman vs Critical Fire power

ALWAYS, LITERALLY ALWAYS USE CRITICAL FIRE POWER. Is harder to use but the damage boost is waaaaaay to good to ignore.
