Finest Weapons and Gear for Lifeless Ringer Vex (Reaper)
Weapons are fully depending on what you are most comfy operating with, however we discovered nice success with Wombo Combo (Rippa Roadbirds, “Noticed’s Clench” Ripper Drill Site, Ruined Sumplands, Carcadia Burn). This Assault Rifle has an important charge of fireplace, and it additionally randomly fires Rip Rockets from the underbarrel to principally double the injury with a combo of Elemental and Kinetic. That is nice for constructing injury to arrange for a Groundbreaker Part Knife throw, however once more, something works. To extend the effectiveness of this weapon, use Vladof Enhancements with Field Journal or Bullet Hose to extend the Fireplace Price, Journal Dimension, and grant a random likelihood to fireside an additional Projectile.

For the Defend, we discovered the best one was the Super Soldier Shield (Vile Lictor, Umbral Foundry, Windspear, Terminus Vary) due to its particular impact that grants Overshield when it is filling, and grants further Fireplace Price, Motion Pace, and Ammo Regeneration when the Defend is full. These stats, paired with the abilities above, make sure that Vex all the time has her Defend energetic.

Lastly, there may be the Repkit, which does not fully matter as Vex is rarely actually going to wish it for therapeutic. Nonetheless, search for one which will increase buffs like Melee Injury or Motion Talent when used.
