I tried it on Hailey (lvl 21) and seems that skill works with good base weapons especially crit based weapons. I got dev down with excava to 30-35% before enraging. Penetration is ok for doing mob farming.
It could’ve been a better video if you realized that building crit or crit damage on weapons that has less than 20% crit and not just firearm atk damage is just not a good idea in general. I’m wasting my own time just to say it’s a pve it’s not that deep you get it 3 of them for free so leave “P2W” to pvp games then pve games that gives you the option to use it and 2 using it on Enzo and not yujin, gley, or ajax(which can increase firearm ATK damage btw) of course the weapon going to be weak. Smh have a good day man.
I have 2 builds on Excava. Pure weakpoint and crit/wp (shown on last video). Weak point does less damage than having crit damage. Also, whats the point of Excava's crit stacks? I have tried this weapon on Blair, Lepic (firearm atk build), Gley and my other main Yujin and the gun still lacks the punch. Like why use this when Thunder Cage is overall better even on a single target not including TC's ability.. and thats coming from someone who doesnt like TC. smh, have a good day, man.
I want to add. The gun's stats is the problem. Python exists and does well even with no crit because the gun has high weak point and goes well with its unique ability. Now, compare that to Excava.
Exactly that’s my point I’m telling you having a weapon that act like the python but with a different mechanic/element is always going to be “off” if you ether have that a weapon(s) that already can perform better then it since it came out or just you prefer to use something different cause they don’t like to use the same 5~6 weapons then enjoy it till until they potentially nerf/buff the newest weapons which is why I said it’s not that deep. I’m enjoying the games and the guns just as much as you, I just unease with you saying “it’s sh*t” when they willing to make underperforming weapons better and overwhelming colossus more relevant. At the end of the day I have opinions and so do you, and all we can do give feedback and play the game and see they can do with the feedback.😊
@@Jaztheunspoken You mentioned about not building crit on weapons with less than 20% crit thats why I pointed out whats the point of Excava's stacks. Still now it makes me wonder. Building non-crit for high hp bosses does significantly weaker damage even on Descendants that buff firearm atk like Lepic's +51%. I still use WP build on infiltration missions. I did put "its sh*t" because I kinda agree what people said about the gun. Dont get me wrong, I love the design, concept and recent buff. My last video shows what I thought excava needed for buff and they also lowered the stacks and increased the EG to 220% but the devs missed out the crucial tweaks, by buffing atleast some of the base stats like crit damage from 1.2x to atleast 1.5x or 1.7x or even increasing the rpm to 650-700 if they dont want to touch the crit rate/dmg.
If its already underperforming on the weakest boss then what more can it do againts others.. And as if there's like not a dozen threads/posts saying the buff is still meh. But hey..
the weak point dmg is not good specially iif you do not aim it well I suggest removing firing fiesta, weak point dmg, have aiming and recycling genius use electric element + mental focus + mag round size + insight focus
Mental focus is good for Gley but before, the Energy Grenade doesnt trigger when Gley's V is active. I havent tried it again yet, currently leveling up Executor. MF for non-Gley doesnt do well since the energy grenades consume 5 rounds so youre only gonna benefit from 30 stacks of MF sometimes 50 at the cost of lower firerate even with mag increase. Elec conductor + elec elem is a good alternative however. I used weak point because the damage with crit+wp iirc was 180k opposed to elec+crit/no wp of 18k+139k but yea, you have to maintain WP. My aim gets messed up when I have to look at the Excava stacks lol
The Excava was as bad as the Rocket Launcher we got from 1st battle pass. I didn't buy 1st battle pass because the rocket launcher was trash, but this 1 was the last straw for me. This 1 was bad, but better than 1st one. I'm never buying battle pass again until something good comes up because I bought this 1 and was hoping weapon to be op. Skip this battle pass because not worth it to all out there who didn't buy it yet. Please avoid this season battle pass.
I buy it for the cosmetics and xp boosters. All of them together is more than double the price of the battle pass. Plus they added an energy activator now so it’s more than worth the price. The gun isn’t the only item in there.
I understand. Idc about any of that stuff except the gun because I want something fun and not something that's not fun to play. The Excava just not it. It's just rotting in my inventory at unique ability 4. The Thunder Cage in my opinion is better than the Excava just sad that a f2p weapon out do it.
Hi, have you tried the weapon with Hailey, with her 3rd spell, I've seen tests that the weapon is quite suitable with her ?
@@Villyns Havent yet but good idea. I'll give it a try in a few afters after work. Thanks!

Too bad damage still suck, but skin is look cool
Yes! Test builds on the weakest boss!!!! It sounds like a complete lack of understanding of what you're doing!

Its trash and it was this in battle pass??..I put that shit in my storage will never see it again lol
I still have hope they'll atleast buff the base stats. Its the only gun that I like the skin. lol
