Flame bullet

[*Godly*]

Is it any good at 16

[Sacrificial]

base dmg would be 578. A mate did around 5.3k dmg each tick with a mid tier launcher.

I'm guessing 6k+ is doable which seems pretty good, especially with how abusable Standing Snipe is with it. Too bad it's the most obnoxious PA to find, just ahead of Sazan.

[TaigaUC]

I'd say SaZan is more accessible because you've got red boxes, blufs and the mining drills, plus a fairly consistent way to spawn those.

Impact Slider just has stupid Burn Drall who never spawns.
Only place to get him (other than Where's the Chocolate 2, in which he only ever seems to very rarely spawn at the same single spawn point) is through stupid Free Shitcano, which has annoying Code Eliminations that like to spawn targets behind walls or at the very top of tall, twirly, jumpy mountains, as well as Code Collect gates, which are always a huge pain up the ass.
Both of those are even worse to deal with when in a multi-party.
And of course the irritating volcanic geysers, which sometimes like to juggle you six times in a row, and infect everyone with "FIRE AIDS", as my friend likes to call it.

NaBarta has stupid Bal Dominos Pizza or whatever, who is also pretty rare.
He doesn't spawn anywhere else, either. I wish he did. Somehow.

Then there's Shifta and Deband rank 16. Probably nobody has those.
It's just as well that they're not much of an increase.

But yeah... Flame Bullet is also one of the worst.
In all this time, I think I've only seen one or two rare versions of those enemies.
No joke.

I have Flame Bullet lv15

Though I've never hunted for it and never used it since it's worthless before lv16

I've got lv16 S/D, but I'd say those aren't that hard really since they can drop from boxes anywhere (I don't think that always was the case, but pretty sure they're universal now). You won't notice any difference with those, though. And I still don't know what the difference is between levels for Anti/Zanverse/Megiverse.

And I still don't know what the difference is between levels for Anti/Zanverse/Megiverse.

Different Anti and Megiverse levels make no difference at all.
Zanverse increases probability of Mirage infliction, but there's no difference between lv15 and lv16.

I am that mate and yes it was a bitch to find. Until hunting for this I'd never seen a map literally run out of monsters before. This happened 19 times to give you some idea of how long I hunted for this PA. Was it worth it? Most definitely as my friend here has set me a little challenge and I think lvl 16 will come in handy.

FYI I'm using a Launcher legacy unlocked to lvl3 with Mizer, shoot 3 and spirita 2. Armour has 90RATK. With a drink I was getting 5.3k per tick on a JA and when I added shifta that went up to 5.5k per tick.

Happy hunting!

Edit: Re-tested this and If I actually stand still to take advantage of standing snipe (derp) crits are 5.9k per tick so yeah, I can see 6k+ from this with a stronger launcher.

I found a Lv.16 Flame Bullet from a completely random Fjorgalla while searching for the Visbolt in the LQ.

As you can probably imagine, I never got any Visbolt.

[TaigaUC]

Visbolt only occurs if there's more than one player in the area.

My quartz/FC obsession aside... let's just say I made a lot of PA frags out of shifta 16s
But, yes it's literally +1 T-ATK vs shifta 15.
