Fix your Lepic Boss Build [Optimized] - The First Descendant

I got tired of people "working out" completely bs lepic builds and claiming they were optimized, so I did it myself and even made a quick lepic calculator for my site.

Creator code: vashcowaii#6354 use it and I get some of your purchases.

Get those Lepic stonkies, bois. [Creator code is active as of 08/26/24 - vashcowaii#6354]
EDIT: Just had a long talk with some peeps about how we were calculating the lepic numbers bc they were adamant I had it wrong, and I'll admit I did goof on one part of the calc, but it turns out everyone had some stuff wrong on the math so I'm glad they reached out and we had the talk we did.
WHAT IS THE RESULT, THEN? - The only difference to be had is one slot, and it will more or less boil down to your situational preferences. In terms of initial burst and getting the boss broken/kneeling faster, the build we roll with in the video is better, but in terms of end total dmg if you aren't having any issues breaking them, running with tech spec over spear and shield does win with more continuous dmg(not dot, I'm not talking about overclock). Duration is still just as strong as we said it was, nothing was incorrect there, everything else is still correct as well, but if you want more overall dmg you would slot a power modifier in that slot. The other obvious consideration for your preferences is whether you want more EHP, in which case spear and shield is still a solid slot and there's nothing wrong with that. IF you do roll with a power modifier instead, I advice tech specialist, not max power. The cooldown is pretty harsh on max power, if you decide you need cooldown later using tech spec would allow you to switch to focus on tech for more cooldown with a nonexistent loss in power mod.

Three things~
2) I applied last week when I knew I wanted to make this vid, and I haven't been approved yet, but if I do then my nexon creator coded would be vashcowaii#6354 and if approved and you are signed up as a supporter under me, I get like 2% of your in game purchases. We'll see how that goes, if I even get approved lmao. [This is active now]
2) For potentially newer lepic users, I didn't clarify that you need roll to cancel your ulty windup animation at the start and save yourself like 4 seconds of usable duration, nor did I clarify that you need your reactor weapon equipped when you switch to your ulty in order to gain the benefit of the fire rate mods, so my b there forgetting to say that.

now THESE are the builds i live for. That looks at every single thing even at the smallest of detail, every bit matters.

[Metrooh]

As a returning Remnant viewer: 1. Thanks for explaining while showing. 2. Thanks for teaching us how to not make shitty builds. 3. Own build only differed by 1 card, so I consider it a success lol

[vandeezee]

Glad to see you back in my algorithm I haven’t seen your videos since the remnant 2 melee build days

I just unlocked Lepic and had no idea where to go with him. Thanks for the map.

[frobro]

"Plz for the love of fuck let me explain before you screenshot and dip >:(". Damn, caught my ass 😂😂😂.

[Draec]

I enjoy how fed up you sound. I felt that.

[SuperfluousIndividual]

Ah, finally someone tells me why tf my lepic can't seem to launch more than 15 or 16 shots, and it's because my dumb ass actually got the build right, but shot the barn doors on the components, thinking MP modifier and MP recovery in combat didn't really matter all that much.
Thankfully, I do a bunch of devourers and pyromaniacs for catalyst blueprints and activators, so I'm hoping I kept some of those with good rolls. Chances are high, since I'm a hoarder by nature. Thanks for letting me know, very helpful, take a like 😂

[Harmonic]

6:29 THANK YOU. I can't count how many times I've had to explain this to people. There's no other way in the game to get Tech Skill Power than from your reactor, so that roll will be the most impactful

For anyone who hasn't fully invested in lepic yet. With any of these builds. If your crits are unlucky, your gonna have alot of bosses going frenzy before your ultimate is even over. Pyro is still relatively consistent. Swamp walker is about 50/50 some days less. For solo farming I still perfer crit rate/dmg to colossus.

[MRCORONA]

Thank god you are here to fix the popular builds in this game.

Especially in this game where testing builds is costly in terms of grinding mats. You have saved me much time.

[Jayxe]

Found you at Starfield, Subbed to you at Remnant 2, married to you at First Descendant. You do not have a choice.

[WolfyRedz]

i let you explain and didnt dip ! lol ty for the great video !
edit: i went from 17 shots(old build ) to 18 shots but more tanky and more damage with the choice to be able to add firearm master on or off.

[LolThisAcc]

This guy is like KnightmareFrame excepts he trashes on content creators and not the content consumers, love it

[jmroz]

This is the best explanation I have heard by far. And the commentary is hilarious too. Earned my sub and going to see what other vids you have....

[DEMONBONES]

Finally, someone who built this guy correctly. I've been watching less build videos cause no one, including myself for a bit, was going for big PP damage. I re catalyzed to this build a couple weeks ago.

[Venti_Depresso]

Bro thank you so much for this breakdown. I’m running this now and it’s

[SLYisa]

Pleasant surprise your making content for this game. Love it. I'll swap to this after the socket update. Didnt want to change the M because it was there by default on ult lepic

[misery]

Ajax tips? Every unwashed content farmer puts out a half done build that just focuses on "Ajax no die". Always love your content and happy to see you dipping into this before the Remnant DLC.
