The default character in Gunfire Reborn, Crown Prince, may seem basic, but with the right setup, he can dish out some truly ridiculous damage. This Combustion-focused build will show you how to maximize elemental damage, trigger massive explosions, and clear enemies with ease. If you want a powerful, easy-to-use setup that melts foes, this guide is for you.

Why Play a Combustion Build?

Combustion is an elemental combination effect triggered when an enemy is affected by both Fire (Burn) and Corrosion (Decay) at the same time.

What makes Combustion so powerful?

• Triple damage to the primary target.
• Double damage to nearby enemies (5-meter AoE explosion).
• Damage scales with weapon & elemental buffs, meaning we can stack multipliers for insane results.

This build is all about triggering Combustion as frequently as possible, making it one of the highest damage setups for Crown Prince.

Best Weapon Choice

Primary Weapon: Fire Tower

• High base damage.
• Extremely high elemental chance (Burn effect).
• Ideal for triggering Combustion when paired with a corrosion source.

Alternative Weapon Choices:

• Other Fire-based weapons with high elemental effect rates.
• Corrosion weapons if you lack good Fire options.

Best Ascensions (Golden Goblets)

To fully capitalize on Combustion, prioritize damage multipliers and elemental effect boosts.

S-Tier Ascensions (Must-Have)

1. Energy Blade
   • +300% weapon damage on your next shot after casting an orb.
   • This directly boosts Combustion damage, making it a key pick.
2. Pyrodominance (Tier 3)
   • +120% Fire damage.
   • Doubles Burning damage & doubles Combustion damage.
   • Massively boosts all Fire-based attacks.
3. Hex Smoke
   • Debuffs enemies, making them take increased damage.
   • Applies Decay (Corrosion), which enables Combustion triggers.
   • Essential for maximizing this build’s power.
4. Elemental Rage
   • Further increases damage against affected enemies.
   • Works perfectly with Hex Smoke and Elemental weapons.

A-Tier Ascensions (Great Picks)

5. Power Source
   • More Orb charges = More Energy Blade procs.
   • Not a top priority, but useful for smoother gameplay.
6. Acidic Explosion
   • Triggers additional explosions when enemies die.
   • Stacks well with Combustion’s AoE damage.
   • Great for clearing mobs efficiently.

Best Spiritual Blessings

Spiritual Blessings provide powerful passive boosts. Here are the best ones for this build:

S-Tier Blessings (Top Priority)

1. Overconsumption
   • Huge early-game boost (+damage, cooldown reduction, HP, move speed).
   • Movement speed is critical in early levels.
2. Smog Bound Sound
   • Reduces damage taken while inside a grenade’s radius.
   • Since you’ll always be throwing grenades for Hex Smoke, this will be active most of the time.
3. Elemental Maestro
   • Increases elemental damage and elemental effect chance.
   • Ensures maximum Combustion triggers.

A-Tier Blessings (Great Choices)

4. Elemental Power
   • Spreads elemental effects among enemies.
   • Turns one Combustion trigger into a chain reaction.

How to Play the Build

This build follows a simple but devastating combo to melt everything in your path.

Step-by-Step Combat Rotation:

1. Throw a Corrosion Grenade to apply Hex Smoke and Decay.
2. Use your Orb (Energy Blade) to activate the 300% weapon damage buff.
3. Shoot an enemy with Fire Tower to trigger Combustion.
4. Watch everything explode.

Advanced Tips:

• Always apply Decay first before Fire to ensure Combustion triggers at max power.
• Aim for grouped enemies to maximize Combustion’s AoE effect.
• Use cover between attacks if needed—Crown Prince is powerful but squishy.

Final Thoughts: Why This Build Works

This Combustion Crown Prince build is all about chaining elemental effects for massive explosions.

By stacking Energy Blade, Pyrodominance, Hex Smoke, and Elemental Rage, we can multiply damage output by 5x, 6x, even 7x! The ability to melt entire enemy groups with a single shot makes this one of the most fun and powerful builds in Gunfire Reborn.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Use Fire Tower for high elemental effect chance. ✅ Stack Pyrodominance, Energy Blade, and Hex Smoke for massive damage. ✅ Trigger Combustion by combining Fire + Corrosion. ✅ Stay mobile and use grenades to keep enemies debuffed. ✅ Enjoy watching enemies explode!

If you’re new to the game or just want an easy yet devastating build, this setup will carry you through any difficulty.

Good luck, and happy hunting!
