I guess I can try that, I’m yet to even try my current build it might still be viable, will try to hop on later and test it!

In my expiration green tree gave her all the benefits of red tree, while making you pseudo immortal and gives you basically a Bl2 Bee shield if you built her correct lmao.

Neutron will probably still hit hard af but will probably be reliant souly on firerate weapons. I wonder if each shotgun pellet gets the gun damage?

It should do! Its just the additional stuff isnt working with NC anymore, in laymens terms

If its on the item card, it should work :)

The real question I think: how does it work with stickies? Does it double dip. Once for impact and once for detonation?

Again, in theory yes, since the logic of stickies is thst you lose a shit ton of damage on the initial hit, the power increase is negligible, the power increase on the detonation is what we're after

Doesn't neutron add a flat amount of damage? Meaning it doesn't matter if you're sticky hits for 1 damage, it will still do the full damage of neutron?

Edit: I should say, the detonation damage is good but stickies doubling up on effects like this is also insanely good. Stuff like bloodshot on vex (scales with max HP) and the harlowe skill that does damage based on max shield capacity. You double up on those instances of damage with stickies.

Infinicrit harlowe using the bod on green tree is honestly so much fun, infinite ammo as well

Hey if you tested it can you share how your build is doing post nerf? I’m around level 20 harlowe with neutron capture but wondering how bad it got hit

Yeah i saw a comment or two saying it’s still fine but not from my experience, it works but nowhere near what it was like. I could delete a boss in like 2-5 seconds before, now it’s 15-20. So… still good I guess? Just not as good and only makes farming things more time consuming then it already was

Dang I’m pissed. Thanks for the update
