Build Role

Sniper's Focus is the aim-down-sights specialist. The 2-second tick cadence with a 4-stack cap rewards patient single-shot rotations, particularly on Musket and Dragon's Breath Blunderbuss.

Math Example

A Musket held in aim for 8 seconds (the time needed to reach max stacks) gains rank-3 Sniper's Focus for +28% bonus damage on the next shot. On a 580 Pierce base shot that becomes 742 Pierce. Layering Bull's Eye headshot for +20% on top brings the shot to 890 Pierce.

Notes

• The stack builder starts from 0 on un-aim. Breaking aim cancels the stacks and requires a fresh 8-second aim cycle to rebuild.

• Trap on fast-cadence Pistol play where shots fire within 2 seconds and never accumulate the stacks.
