Ranged Control Build
Delete formations and explosives before they reach you.
The mechanic it is built on
Tiger Cannon is confirmed to blast distant formations in one shot and detonate explosive enemies early. The White Serpent / Crimson Viper pair adds a ranged option to a melee slot by throwing the short blade.
Strengths
- +Removes explosive enemies before they become a positioning problem.
- +Soft Snake Sword answers incoming projectiles, closing the loop on ranged threats.
- +Pairs well with Hellwalker, where adding pressure from range is safer than trading up close.
Watch out
- −Heavy ranged options cost Sha-Chi, so the loop above still applies.
- −Crowd-clearing is not the same as boss damage — do not take this into a single-target duel and expect it to carry.
