Rank 4 · Punk / Metal / Fusion / clear speed and kill chains
Ricochet Inferno Drummer
A fast farming candidate that retains Drummer's large Soul pool. Ricochet and No Tomorrow spread damage and Crowd Ignite through packs, while Heavy Hands improves the underlying Power scaling. Infinite Setlist two-piece helps alternate spenders and keep the screen under pressure.

| Branch | Hard-point allocation | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Metal | Heavy Hands 20; Encore Slam 1; Stagebreaker Wave 1; Thunder Fill 1; Arena Breaker 1 | 24 |
| Fusion | Pocket Control 20; Triplet Rush 1; Cyclone Solo 1; Polyrhythm 1; Groove Cascade 1 | 24 |
| Punk | Fast & Loose 1; Ricochet Stick 17; Stick Storm 1; Crowd Ignite 1; No Tomorrow 1 | 21 |
With +37 All Skills and 12 Metal / 8 Fusion / 13 Punk stones: Heavy Hands 117, Pocket Control 97 and Ricochet Stick 119. Pocket's rank component is 10.7 times Soul and Defense, with 50% capped dodge.
Bindings and combat loop
Assignable non-ultimates: Ricochet Stick, Stagebreaker Wave and Cyclone Solo. Ultimates: No Tomorrow, Groove Cascade and Arena Breaker. Keep melee and Groove Slam in the rotation for Fusion charges and Metal support.
- Gather the first cluster, use melee for charges, then establish Cyclone and Groove Cascade. Fire Ricochet through the densest connected group.
- Alternate different non-ultimate abilities to reduce the other abilities' remaining cooldowns. Use the second available cast when its damage will land usefully.
- Activate No Tomorrow and move along the edge of the pack. Sustain comes from continued contacts and leech, while ignited deaths feed further clearing.
- Use Arena Breaker when kills slow down or bosses accumulate. Maintain Hollow Hall's Song-aura orbitals and the borrowed Split-Time cast rhythm.
What limits it
Eight ricochet sticks and twelve bounces are ceilings, not counts that scale indefinitely with +skills. Stick Storm Soul Steal caps at 25%. Crowd Ignite explosions need deaths, so this profile loses some relative strength when late bosses outlive the surrounding pack. It does not have the Infinite Setlist three-piece ultimate effect.

| Slot | Equipped item | One successful craft |
|---|---|---|
| Instrument | Comet Splinter Sticks | 6 × Metal |
| Offhand | Hollow Hall Tambour | 4 × Metal |
| Head | Crown of the Midnight Console | 2 × Metal, 2 × Fusion |
| Body | Marching Harness of the Endless Parade | 6 × Fusion |
| Legs | Backline Railpants | 4 × Punk |
| Gloves | Borrowed-Time Pulse Wraps | 4 × Punk |
| Boots | Double Kick Legs of the Machine God | 4 × Punk |
| Belt | Revolving Setlist Chain | Infuse (see borrowed effects) |
| Necklace | Pendant of Royal Albert's Hall | Infuse (see borrowed effects) |
| Accessory 1 | Seventh Encore Band | Infuse (see borrowed effects) |
| Accessory 2 | Cinder Crowd Signet | Infuse (see borrowed effects) |
| CD | Platinum Album of Yesteryear | 1 × Punk |
Two borrowed effects on each infused item
| Host slot | Effect 1 | Effect 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Belt | Death Metal Skull Collector | Split-Time Shaker |
| Necklace | Diamond Studded Gloves of the King | Iron Parish War Snare |
| Accessory 1 | Tape Splice Grips | Arcwright Fingercaps |
| Accessory 2 | Saint Voltage Locket | Cathedral Reverb Charm |
Maintain Infinite Setlist two-piece through gloves and belt. Keep the Album in the CD slot. With Time Signature 20, the gloves' affinity reduces the second-cast cooldown penalty from +50% to +20%; alternating a different ability reduces the remaining cooldown of the others by 25%. The three-piece bonus is absent.
All +All Skills totals and effective ranks are for this exact equipment list. Borrowing a relic's mechanic does not add its All Skills, weapon damage, Soul, cooldown or other stat lines. Infusion outcomes are random; this is the target result, not a deterministic recipe.
Manager: gear and ability rolls
The build's purpose is rapid connected kills and efficient Fame farming; Manager supplies promotion bonuses and extra damage while your Drummer supplies its own main defensive pool. Use the offensive six-ability package below for farm runs, then make the stated freeze swap for a harder push.
On every item, target these common rolled lines: Promotion Power +32%; Manager Cooldown Reduction +32%; Soul Stolen per Hit +5%.
| Slot / item | Native ability | Additional perfect roll(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Road Case Relic Tablet of the Stage Office | Cyclone Solo Echo | Fame +32%; Fortune +32% |
| Spotlight Rig Relic Laser Pointer of the Stage Office | Groove Cascade Echo | Elemental Vulnerability +34% |
| Stagewear Relic Trenchcoat of the Stage Office | No Tomorrow Echo | Soul +40 |
| Headgear Relic Executive Shades of the Stage Office | Center Stage Borrowed | Hype Wave Size +34% |
| Credentials Relic Press Pass of the Stage Office | OverDrive Mode Borrowed | Promotion Duration +34% |
| Signal Charm Relic Limo Key of the Stage Office | Loop Station Borrowed | Record Deal Bleed +34%; Disc Count +5 |
Pull a connected pack, alternate your spenders and fire Ricochet through it. Cyclone helps maintain density; Cascade, No Tomorrow and Loop add independent contacts as you move along the edge. The player's own Ignite applications and deaths drive the build's kill chain; the follower echo is not a copy of that skill tree.
For high-wave pushes, replace No Tomorrow with Arena Breaker Echo for freeze and +50 temporary follower Defense. If control is already plentiful, retain No Tomorrow for farming.
Acclivity on your character’s gear
- Belt: Skull Collector + Split-Time: retain three ultimates and timed cast echoes while preserving Infinite Setlist two-piece.
- Necklace: Diamond + Iron Parish: add current-Soul discharge and the War Snare's melee/metal support while wielding Comet.
- Accessory 1: Tape Splice + Arcwright: your own statuses prime detonations; sustained hit/crit cadence builds Conduct and its cast fork.
- Accessory 2: Saint Voltage + Cathedral: turn crits into Halo riders and bank spender hits for the next release.
