The Sound Hunter

Subsume Gloom over 4.

Silence's 2s stun stretches to about 8s in Gloom and up to 40s at the 95% slow cap (272% Strength).

Sonar's multiplier scales with Strength, and Precision Intensify plus Molt Vigor plus Molt Augmented plus Resonance (which snapshots the initial cast's Strength) locks it high.

Sonic Fracture full-strips at 143% Strength for priority targets.

1.

Activate Gloom and Silence (get a headshot first to snapshot Pax Bolt or Growing Power Strength, then cast Gloom).

2.

Keep Silence up for the stun and ability lockout.

3.

On shield break, roll and cast Sonar to fully regenerate shields and reset the gate.

4.

Stack multiple Sonars on a lich, sister or Acolyte.

Positive Duration for Sonar and Silence length and to cut Gloom drain.

Neutral Efficiency for shield gating off Sonic Boom (0.7s) and Sonar (1.33s).

Range should stay modest: too much Range makes Silence's stun expire before enemies re-enter, and Silence out-ranging Gloom weakens the stun stretch.

Strength wants the 272% Gloom cap.

Precision Intensify is the Strength, with Molt Vigor and Molt Augmented behind it.

Stretch is Gloom range.

Primed Continuity holds Duration.

Primed Flow, Equilibrium are the energy base.

Catalyzing Shields improves the per-cast gate.

Resonance and Sonic Fracture are the augments.

Brief Respite aura feeds the gate.

Catalyzing Shields and Rolling Guard swap for each other.

Resonance and Sonic Fracture swap for Streamline or Strength.

The exilus is Preparation for speedrun lich missions.

Gloom over 4 is the build.

Alternatives are limited; the kit wants Gloom's slow to stretch Silence.

Molt Vigor and Molt Augmented for the Strength to hit the Gloom cap and boost Sonar.

Headshot arcanes (Consequence, Pistoleer, Precision, Rage) also fit since Gloom makes headshots trivial.

Any.

Madurai for cast speed and Strength.

Any weapon that can reliably hit the Sonar spots: high- precision hitscan or a weapon with a bullet-attractor (Scourge).

Kitgun secondaries with Pax Bolt for a snapshot Strength boost.

Shield gating off Sonar and Sonic Boom plus Gloom's slow plus Silence's stun plus Primed Sure Footed.

It fails if you cannot land shots to feed Resonance and the Sonar lapses, and to toxin.

Equilibrium plus a Dethcube with Energy Generator.

Gloom drain is the main cost.

It is a marksman frame: if you cannot consistently hit weakspots, the whole build does nothing.

Crowd clear is weak.

It shines on single tough targets, not rooms.

None material; the source is a focused single build.

Strong: the largest weakspot multiplier in the game, 40-second crowd control, a real lich and boss deleter.

Weak: demands precise aim, poor at trash clear, entirely weapon-carried.

Confident marksmen who want to fold liches, sisters and Acolytes with a weapon that would otherwise bounce off them.
