    1. Lucky ShotLucky ShotInitial Glass Cannon, Second Choice Damage Build for Father, Bullet Increase and Crit go without saying
    2. Glass CannonGlass CannonFather's Core Damage Build, 80% Weapon Bonus and Kill Bonus, Attack Speed is particularly nice, the biggest downside is health loss, so I recommend Heart of Dragon early (now can be delayed due to Swi

    A bit awkward item

    12,800 Souls
    1. Burst FireBurst FireCost-performance is more awkward now
    2. Recharging RushRecharging RushMainly I don't often build Charge, actually works well with the above Swift set, but doesn't deal damage like Smash, after all, these three don't add health, and Father's gun isn't suitable for long-r
    3. Ballistic EnchantmentBallistic EnchantmentThe biggest problem, your Lightning might not hit that many people, can build for Throw Lightning
    4. Intensifying MagazineIntensifying MagazineA bit of a trap for me, adding 45% damage seems nice, but not as direct as the combination of Hollow Tip and Smash, mainly need to consider the ultimate's bonus, which makes it a bit humorous
    5. HeadhunterHeadhunterIf only Father's single bullet was slightly higher, this would be a god build, the boost for Father is too small, healing and movement speed are a bit awkward
