          Just in the interest of stemming misinformation, I would advise against Overframe being a good starting point, the builds are dated and it has the same issue as Reddit does of democratising incompetence.

          Dystopia’s youtube channel (not our one) is where you go to learn to break the game. Aznvasions also synthesis a lot of community deep lore and has a few originals too.

            Yeah I mean it’s not the best and you definitely have to pay attention to when the guide was made but it can give you a basic idea of what builds look like. I just find youtube build guides annoying and I generally avoid them.

        The big thing to learn is which stage of damage calculations different bonuses apply to, and trying to diversify your mods to get benefits in every stage. For instance base damage mods and effects go in a separate stage to elementals, so having both an element and a base damage is generally more effective than two base damage mods. Things get funny when you start adding in final damage bonuses from buffs and double dipping on faction mods
