KAIJU NO 8 Gen Build Guide
Weapon
I recommend aiming for the summable GS-3305. At level 60, this gun has the following stats:
- HP: +400
- ATK: +315
- DEF: +187
Slash DMG dealt +20%. After the unit activates the combat skill, it applies damage dealt +5% to the equipment unit. (3 stacks max)
After the equipment unit activates its ultimate, it applies ultimate gauge charge +13%. (2 turns to the equipment unit)
When properly trained, this weapon somewhat lets Gen spam his ultimate moves because of its unique skills.
Uniparts
Lizard-type Uniparts.
- Gloves: +10.9% HP
- Body: +7.9% Crit Rate
- Feet: +6.4% Lightning DMG Dealt
Set Effects:
- ATK: +37.40%
- Crit Rate: +21.80%
- Before the equipment unit activates Ultimate, it applies a DMG dealt +20% buff. (2 turns to the equipped unit)
- Basically, a +20% DMG buff during Ultimates.
