Dauntless Builder
Okay now, when increasing your damage done against a part, you can actually render your build ineffective, it's simple; imagine that the damage done is added after the 'separation' so let's say you will do 100 damage, if you increase your part damage by 15% with Sharpened 3 then you will do 115 part damage, 100 stagger and 100 HP Damage, but, if you increase all your damage with predator 3.

The Ostian Repeaters aren't like the majority of weapons in; they're much more modular. Instead of crafting different versions with elemental effects, you craft Barrels to augment your elemental damage, leaving the Chamber and Grip to dictate your skills.All of this can be swapped out between missions, so there's a lot of build variety. In this guide, we'll run through an early-game build to make using the Ostian Repeaters a little friendlier, and take a brief look at a popular late-game build to shoot for. Early Game BuildBarrelDecide which barrel to use based on elemental damage.

Each behemoth is weak to one type of damage and resists another.These are usually fairly obvious (Ice behemoths are weak to Fire, who'd have thunk it?) but for Neutral behemoths, it's worth taking your most upgraded barrel into battle.Don't bother upgrading the Standard Barrel! It's no stronger than the other barrels, so you might as well spend your resources elsewhere. ChamberAs it deals the most outright damage, the Salvo Chamber is the recommended chamber to equip during the early-game. The skillshot ability it provides is easy to use and deals a good chunk of damage.Even when progressing into late-game builds, the Salvo Chamber is often preferred as you don't need to worry too much about your positioning or aiming, so long as you're hitting the behemoth.
GripThere are only two grips to use, and the highly preferred one is the Captain's Grip. This will give you — and your allies, if you use the empowered version — a 15% buff to damage and attack speed for 12 seconds.This is extremely useful in buffing your DPS, but you can consider using the Saboteur's Grip if another party member is already using this one. PrismYou'll only have a handful of prisms to equip in the early-game, the best of which is probably the Snowdrift Prism. This gives the last four shots of your magazine small damage and frost damage boosts.
ModYou won't have any mods to equip until you hit Repeater Mastery Level 6, when you'll unlock the Capacitive Magazine mod.This isn't exactly ground-breaking, but it can give you a little extension to your DPS by returning four ammo to the magazine for each ability used. So it doesn't conflict with the Searing Prism passive, try to time your abilities when you have more than four shots remaining, or none at all. Late Game BuildHere is a quick run-down of a late-game build. We will add more as we progress through the game.
Barrel. The barrel should still be selected based on whatever element is strong against the behemoth you plan on fighting.

Overview & Strengths
Fast Attack Speed & High Wounding Damage
The War Pike has very high damage-per-second as it can attack very fast. It can also wound Behemoth parts easily with its light attacks, making it a valuable weapon to have for Slayers looking to down Behemoths fast.
Has Low Mobility With Stationary Attacks
The War Pike has low mobility due to its attacks having long animations that lock you into place. This leaves you vulnerable to Behemoth attacks so self-control and knowledge of attack combos is a must.
