Hey I am trying to find a upgrade for the falz rifle I have. But all the upgrades I want are tough to get. so which one is more easier to obtain.

the fubuki rifle

The rifle that drops from Bal rodos

The one that drops from falz angel

or finally the one from the TD quests?

fubuki drops from a mob, the others dont, I believe td rifles latent is the more open ended of the lot, (PP reduced on PA) the others are situational. (Rodos is PP Save only after a bullet is used [weak bullet], Fubukii is Halfline PP Slayer (kinda, not as good as Black Heart), and Angel Rifle is Dark Damage resist)

Raw damage wise, Angel rifle is the strongest and since its latent is usually shrugged against it shouldn't be hella impossible to buy in the shop (vs the other 3)
so theres that,

also... Angel rifle looks super cool :V

It says +61 Bal Rodos which would be SHAQ or SH Seabed Facility. But that means farming for him in either spot, isn't as easy as fishing for the red giant titan in Shironia

If you're looking for damage increasing latents, good ones to look out for are Hurio Sniff (7% damage to weak points), Bio Triner (8% damage to all JAs) and crafted Firearms (11% increase to standing snipe damage, however will have extra damage variance).

You could also go for a rainbow palette of "racist" rifles, for example a light Sfera Rain for darkers, a fire Grizz Rifle for natives, etc.

Small correction, but I believe Hurio Sniff is 9% now.

Nope, Cirnopedia is just wrong about Crushing Blow. Just grabbed a screencap of a random one off of the player shop with the potential unlocked:

to OP all racist rifles(bonus against mob type) are far better than those you mentioned and most of them are upgrades from the spellstone shop so easy to get.

Okay, guess English patch is wrong :|

Yeah, a JP friend was telling me yesterday that people have been favoring racist latents lately.

I personally use a maxed out crafted Fire Arms.
Rifles tend not to drop for me. I did get a Menaarisu a week ago, but it looks ugly to me.

Bio Rifle.

Disturbing lack of Flowpetal.
It's a very strong and very cheap RaHu rifle.
It has good atk and boosts Fury Stance. I got one with over 1000 atk for like 3 mil.

It's 10* and sure there are better but considering how easy it is to get one and how close it comes to those that are best, it really deserves to be mentioned here.

Now of course, with that 20% or something dmg boost for racist potentials a "rainbow" of those will always be strongest but that's true for pretty much every weapon type.

Simply because it's far from the top tier rifles: yas7kv, racists, arao/evare

Sure, it's not bad, it's like ... a shittier version of the bio rifle (which also isn't a top tier, just a decent, all-around and multiclass AR) but has nothing to do in a top AR list, so I'd personally not recommend it.

I have this rifle on my ranger, and it's so cute. xD It was cheap too(pre-grinded with good affixes too, was less than 1m on ship 9), I agree that it's definitely an affordable one.
And since my subclass is hunter, I can switch to it and still use it.

PS: If your character is a girl, you should totally wear the pink Aquaria coat with it. They really compliment each other.

Hmm. I chose it solely cause it was 3.15 mil for something close to top tier rifles instead of 20+ mil for the actual top tier ones.

Or Mena Alice if you prefer sniping from afar (Precision Sniping latent)

If by strong you mean 14% weaker than racist rifles, then sure!

Just be aware that ~Hunter potentials won't work in Ultimate.

Is that information actually accurate? Seemed that "new enemy types" just meant new enemies. Dagan Yuga instead of Dagan, Goldorahda Yuga instead of Goldorahda, and so on.

Are you saying that the re-skinned natives are not going to be natives?

From bumped: "UQ has its own enemy type. There’s an ability called Ultimate Buster for bonus damage towards this enemy type."

LonelyGaruga
Nov 4, 2014, 02:04 PM
Huh, the second sentence wasn't there when I checked it. Guess it was updated since then.

Ultimate Buster is probably going to be ~13% if it works on all UQ enemies, meh.

If one comes out, it probably won't have a high enough % to actually be better than other weapons. Only ice and light weakness in Naberius UQ anyway. Next UQ will be a while from now, a month at minimum.
