About

A fun build around the interaction between DLC 4’s Hustler COM and DLC 5’s Eraser skill from the Professional Tree. Digiclone is the preferred action skill for aggro relief, damage, survivability, and the ability to help stack Hustler procs for more consistent uptime on this build’s main interaction. This build also focuses around the fact that Eraser projectiles “double dip” certain damage bonuses as well.

Augments

Digiclone

  • Which One’s Real for aggro relief, allowing for better uptime on Trick of the Light and overall better survivability. Doppelbanger to end Digiclone early to reset its duration between mobbing encounters.

MNTIS

  • No Way Out to provide a debuff for both you and Digiclone’s damage. Proliferation for more MNTIS charges and higher damage. If you don’t care for MNTIS damage, you can use Colder Shoulder instead.

Weapons

Typically you’ll want to use 125% Splash ASE since most of the guns we’ll be using are splash guns. For all of these guns you’ll want the X2 parts which give twice the usual amount of projectiles, as well as any parts which boost Splash Radius. The better guns for this synergy are listed below, but feel free to check out our Eraser Weapons List for more options!

As this build also uses Zane’s Double Barrel Capstone, you’re welcome to give Digiclone any of these listed guns (although careful as it may kill itself with Splash guns), or any of the guns listed in the Clonemaster setup. I personally recommend the Sandhawk for all-purpose usage.

Shields

For all of these shields you will want the “ASE Apply Terror for 18 seconds” anoint from the Bloody Harvest event. This will synergize well with the Terror anoint on our Grenade. Additionally, ASE 50% Elemental works as well, but has less potential for double-dipping.

Infernal Wish

  • Preferred Amp parts for more damage
  • Extra Projectile means more projectiles to proc Hustler and more chances for Eraser projectiles to spawn.
  • May cause Digiclone to kill itself from the Wish’s stacking status effect, so be mindful with the gun you give Clone to use.

One Shotter Shield

  • Triple Amp-part non-unique purple shield
  • More Amp damage, but without an extra projectile.

Red Suit/Transformer

  • Preferred Amp parts for Red-Suit for damage. Transformer is parts locked to be absorb only, but that’s great for ammo sustain.
  • Absorb parts allow us to regain Launcher ammo by shooting the ground at our feet while using a weapon like the Plumage or Ruby’s Wrath.
  • Red Suit’s radiation immunity works wonderfully when paired with the Yellowcake COV Launcher, as the further-increasing Splash Radius may eventually kill you when using other shields.

Old God

  • Absorb parts are recommended for ammo sustain, otherwise Vagabond is nice for more Violent Momentum for the initial Damage.
  • Offers a nice elemental damage bonus, which will double-dip for newly-spawned Eraser Projectiles.

Grenades

These grenades will be thrown by our Digiclone via the Fractal Frag’s skill. Lower leveled one’s recommended since we’re not using them for damage and higher leveled ones may cause Digiclone to blow itself up.

For these grenades you’ll want the “Terror Damage and Fire Rate” anoint from the Bloody Harvest event. When our shield anoint applies Terror to us, this will give us a sizable V1 boost, which works tremendously for our newly-spawned Eraser projectiles.

Additionally, ASE 50% Elemental works as well, but has less potential for double-dipping.

It’s Piss

  • Debuff effect for that double-dips the debuff on newly-spawned projectiles.

Mesmer

  • Nice aggro relief for Guardian Crystals and for better uptime on Trick of the Light.

Recurring Hex

  • Spreads status effect for harmageddon and Radsplosions

Class Mods

Ideal Passive Rolls: Splash Radius (100% Required), Weapon Type Damage, Splash Damage, Action Skill Cooldown Rate, Mag Size

Hustler, Prioritize points in Brain Freeze and Adrenaline

  • Class Mod that this entire build is focused around.
  • Digiclone can stack Hustler’s effect without consuming the crit proc, allowing for much better uptime on your “crits.”

Artifacts

Ideal Passive Rolls: Area-of-Effect (100% Required in Second or Third slot since it also gives Splash Radius), Weapon Type Damage, Elemental Damage, Magazine Size, Movement Speed

Toboggan (DLC 5 Artifact)

  • Alternative artifact for Zane damage while bossing. Can still roll splash damage for clone. 🙂
  • Sliding gives a 100% amp to all pellets (similar to a One Shotter shield) of your next shot, very easily re-appliable.

Flesh Melter/Elemental Projector/Snowdrift Victory Rush

  • Snowdrift offers great mobility and great damage on the initial shot.
  • Flesh Melter works great with mobbing sections when paired with the few options that can come in Corrosive elements.
  • Elemental Projector works wonderfully with Yellowcake (and Red Suit) since the radius increases means you’ll almost always be irradiated for the extra bonus damage.
  • Vic Rush gives extra V1 for our Eraser projectiles to double-dip.
