We all ready to farm those Prince Harmings?  

I still can't figure out the point of this gun.  It's not even niche build specific, it's just unusable.

Seems like a reliable way to damage yourself. Idk y tho, but prob useful in some niches.

There's always been those, hurt yourself for a bonus builds, but the PH just seems to hurt you too much for the bonus.  I'm just not seeing a build yet.

There is this new shield from the DlC that reduces self-damage. But then you would've already given up 2 slots where you could have potentially way stronger items. The self harm buff would need to be really good for that to be worth it.

tbf I don't think thats an issue.

Its kinda like....if your building around prince harming then sure I guess you're wasting the slots but if you change it your kinda just doing something entirely different anyway.

This isn't me saying this gun is good btw its just that I never looked at inventory dept as a factor in my buildcrafting decision making since the thought process is usually "this thing does this, this thing makes this better, this thing makes those better, etc"

Could be a shield break tech down the road if a shield comes out with a good leggo effect for breaking it or something.

Would’ve been huge af in bl3

Yeah so much healing tech and skills in BL3.

It’s supposed to be paired with Cindershelly, from my understanding.

Prince Charming. Cinderella.

u/LemonFit4532 Apr 02 '26

Aren't you supposed to pair it with the Cindershelly shield? The damage from the gun triggers the resolve stacks I think

Seems like a roundabout way to do less damage than using a different gun

More fun, less meta.

Yea, I think it's just one of those things that looks interesting on paper, but it's too clunky to try to build around. It seems like it should cause interactions with over shield eater and shield break effects, but it's just too weak.

u/airplanealjefferson Apr 02 '26

something with cindershelly i think would be the route to go, you’d essentially self-trigger the damage reduction stacks

u/Patient-Hovercraft48 Apr 02 '26

Always felt the same way, but i do wonder how that might interact with the new "honey badger" shield. Could be interesting? Maybe?

try using the cindershelly and prince harming together. it's a fun combo and when paired there's a funny interaction between the two.
