How Weighted Shots is performing now
Control and disruption
Your bullets build up a Movement Slow on enemies.
Weighted Shots functions as control and disruption within the Weapon shop. The strategic value is creating a punishable window by restricting an opponent's available responses. Because it is a core mid-to-late purchase, the right comparison is the fight pattern it unlocks versus the other purchases that the same 3,200 souls could complete.
When Weighted Shots belongs in the build
- One enemy repeatedly escapes or takes over fights when left free to act.
- Your team can follow the disruption with focused damage or another layer of control.
- The target's defensive timing is predictable enough to justify a dedicated answer.
- The enemy can cheaply cleanse, block, or wait out the effect.
- Your lineup already has enough reliable control and needs damage or survivability instead.
- You cannot safely reach or select the target the item is meant to disrupt.
Timing, movement, and hero fit
Weighted Shots is a core mid-to-late purchase at 3,200 souls. Judge it against the next fight and the purchases it delays, not only against its isolated tooltip value.
