This guide focuses on maximizing Bunny's potential through the clever use of the Electric Condense (EC) skill, which enables massive damage output—especially when exploiting certain in-game mechanics.
Key Skill: Electric Condense (EC)
- Electric Condense has a 1-second cast animation followed by 5 seconds of channeling. Upon completion, it detonates in an AoE, dealing almost 2000% skill damage.
- Bunny's strength lies in exploiting this skill's cast time to deal multiple detonations of damage before the cooldown applies.
Current Exploit: Multi-detonation Trick
For now, there's a bug where EC can detonate multiple times before the game registers the cooldown. By rapidly activating EC, you can maximize damage and clear bosses in record time.
Here's how to optimize it
1. Spam EC Activation: If you have a mouse with a free-spinning wheel, bind EC to your scroll wheel for quick activation. This trick allows Bunny to output insane burst damage, enough to down bosses like Colossus with ease.
2. Multi-detonation damage: Each activation counts as a separate detonation, dealing immense amounts of damage until the skill finally goes on cooldown.
Build Breakdown
Modules
- Cooldown Modules: Focus on reducing cooldown, ensuring Bunny can use EC repeatedly. Though cooldown doesn’t affect the number of detonations during the exploit, it provides safety if the boss survives.
- Crit Modules: Prioritize critical damage and hit chance to maximize the effectiveness of each detonation.
- Damage Modules: Boost Electric-based damage to further amplify EC’s output.
For Gluttony boss fights, which are harder due to his high crit resistance, consider adding specialized builds and support from other characters like Luna for damage buffs.
Reactor and Gear
1. Reactor: Aim for Electric and Fusion reactors, with substats focusing on cooldown and duration. This ensures EC lasts long enough to spam the ability.
2. External Components:
- Equip a full Slayer set for skill power increases.
- Add accessories that boost electric damage and cooldown reduction.
- Farm gear that grants bonuses against Colossi or increases skill attack power.
Alternative Builds (Post-Patch)
If the current EC exploit is patched, you’ll still want to focus on optimizing Bunny’s build without relying on this trick:
- Prioritize Electric specialists for more sustained damage.
- Use Singular and Fusion setups to maintain high EC damage while increasing the duration and effectiveness of the skill.
Combat Strategy
1. For Bosses:
- Colossus Strategy: Start with building up as much electric charge as possible. Once your bar is full, activate EC and use your scroll wheel to activate it multiple times rapidly. Even high-resistance bosses like Molten Fortress will fall with this method.
- Gluttony Strategy: Gluttony is tricky due to his high crit resistance. In these cases, combine Bunny with characters like Luna for buffs, and be cautious of your own defense, as Gluttony can easily kill with his powerful attacks.
2. Mob Clearing:
- Use EC’s AoE damage to quickly wipe out groups of enemies during missions. The 5-second duration gives enough time to clear areas while maintaining mobility.
Post-Patch Optimized Build
Once the EC exploit is patched, focus on a more traditional build:
- EC Spam: With cooldown reduction modules and support buffs, EC can still be spammed effectively, just without the bugged multi-detonation damage.
- Skill Extension: Extend EC’s duration with modules to ensure that Bunny can maintain high DPS even without the exploit.
Bunny’s EC build is one of the most powerful setups in The First Descendant. While the current multi-detonation trick is an incredible advantage, even after a patch, Bunny will still dominate the battlefield with proper cooldown management and gear setups.
