LBG Combat Tips:

  • Mobility is Key: Higher levels of Reload Speed and Recoil Down make reloads faster and shooting more fluid, allowing you to stay mobile and avoid monster hits.
  • Peak Performance: Since LBG is a ranged weapon, it is easier to maintain full HP to keep the Peak Performance buff active for a significant damage boost.
  • Elemental Advantage: Always prioritize the monster’s elemental weakness. Building for Elemental Attack Lv. 5 provides the best source of extra damage.
