If you play as a Descendant with the Electricity element, then add the module Conductor of electricity, which gives additional damage to enemies under the effect of “Electroshock”.

Best Characters

The Lightning Cage is a versatile weapon that can be used by any Scion, but it only works best on a few characters.

Bunny

The cannon is perfect for Bunny thanks to her electrical skills. The heroine's abilities increase the damage from the weapon buff, which deals electric damage after the death of the enemy. The gun also goes well with the heroine's speed: Bunny is able to quickly close the distance, shoot the enemy with a submachine gun and move to the next group of enemies, all with minimal energy expenditure.

Put a Thunder Cage on this Scion and you'll have a real killing machine, and adding the Electricity Conductor module will make it even stronger by increasing damage to enemies under Electric Shock.

Gley

Gley has a skill that allows her to fire an almost endless hail of bullets without reloading. Some modules in the weapon will have to be replaced so as not to waste its potential:

• Add an improvement "Mental Focus": Reduces the rate of fire, but greatly increases the weapon's damage until the first reload.
• Replacing "Insight and Extra Ammo" with "Priority of concentration": increases crit. damage and reload time.
• Replacing “Rain of Bullets” with "Rate of Fire Concentration": Increases rate of fire and crit. damage.
• Replacing Acumen and Recharge with "Action and reaction": Increases weapon damage and recoil.

These modules are ideal for Gleys, but are not recommended for other Scions as they may result in reduced damage. When assembling weapons, you should focus on increasing crit. chance and crit. damage. She will especially benefit from the Mental Focus module. His ability only lasts until it's on cooldown, but Gley can fire indefinitely thanks to his skills, allowing him to maintain maximum damage throughout most of the fight.
