Best Lepic Modules (Hard Mode)

Spear and ShieldFront LinesEmergency MeasuresSkill SimplificationShortswordSkill Concentration
Skill InsightFire SpecialistSkill ExtensionIncreased HPStrong Mentality

The build revolves around increasing the damage of Lepic's Grenade and Overkill abilities to burst down bosses, and instantly clear mobs. The primary modules that make this possible are Fire Specialist, Skill Insight, Skill Concentration, Emergency Measures, and Front Lines.

The rest of the modules are focused on utility and survival. At the maximum level, you should be able to achieve at least a million damage per Overkill hit.

Alternative Modules for Solo Boss Fights

Module Change Explanation
Spear and Shield > Iron Defense Replace Spear and Sheild with Iron Defense to get 3.7% more skill power modifier at the cost of slightly lower DEF.
Increased HP > Battle of Stamina Replace Increased HP with Battle of Stamina to further increase your Skill Duration, allowing you to fire more Overkill shots.

Iron Defense and Battle of Stamina are great alternatives for this build if you play solo against Void Bosses. Assuming that you have a complete setup with your Reactor and External Components, these modules will allow you to increase your overall damage at the cost of your survivability.

The Thunder Cage is chosen to be the best weapon for this Lepic build due to its mobbing capabilities. The most important modules in this Thundercage build are the Fire Conductor which synergizes with Lepic's fire abilities, and Fire Rate UP which also increases the fire rate of Lepic's Overkill.

Other modules that are slotted in focus on increasing the weapon's overall damage, critical strike and damage, as well as weak point damage.

Note that External Components with set bonuses have fixed main stats.

A Burning Mechanics Reactor is important for Lepic as both his Grenade and Overkill abilities are considered Fire and Tech, giving this build a huge damage boost from the reactor bonus. For the substats, it's best to look for Skill Critical Hit Rate, Skill Critical Hit, and Additional Skill ATK when Attacking Colossus to achieve millions of damage for each Overkill hit.

The Slayer External Component Set is great for Lepic due to its 4-set bonus which grants an additional 25% Skill Power, granting even more damage for Lepic's abilities.

Lepic Playstyle Tips

Lepic Playstyle Tips

Use Overclock Before Grenade or Overkill

Roll to Cancel Overkill Animation

Use Overclock Before Grenade or Overkill

Using Overclock significantly increases the damage of Lepic's abilities and allows Lepic's abilities to inflict burn. Burn DoT (damage over time) from abilities can also land critical hits, which is extremely useful for any type of content, allowing Lepic to nuke and burn any enemy in the game.

Roll to Cancel Overkill Animation

To save time and the duration of Lepic's overkill, simply roll to cancel its startup animation. This allows you to fire immediately instead of wasting a few seconds of Overkill's duration.
