Builds / Harpoon Gun
Best Harpoon Gun Build in Abyssus
Deals massive single-shot damage but suffers a long reload; a slow, heavy hitter that demands precise timing and positioning.
Best for: Precise single-shot burst & burn setups
Recommended Harpoon Gun build
A slow burst weapon → scale raw damage and crit, not fire-rate status. Its burst applies max status stacks in one hit, making it superb for Burn-centric builds — just bring reload charms.

⚒ Ancient Forge mods
- Reload Speed (top priority)

- Critical-multiplier charms
➤ Ability
Any burst ability
Pros / Cons

Depth 30 variant
Reload is the bottleneck. Stack reload-speed charms and mods so you keep firing through dense elite waves at Depth 30.
