How Glass Cannon is performing now
Weapon uptime
Each hero kill grants permanent Fire Rate (up to a max of 8 times). Death results in the loss of 1 stack.
Glass Cannon functions as weapon uptime within the Weapon shop. The strategic value is increasing the amount of useful weapon pressure delivered before a firing window closes. Because it is a late-build investment, the right comparison is the fight pattern it unlocks versus the other purchases that the same 6,400 souls could complete.
When Glass Cannon belongs in the build
- Reloads or low firing uptime are interrupting otherwise favorable damage windows.
- Your hero can stay on target long enough for additional shots to matter.
- The purchase completes a weapon breakpoint without sacrificing essential mobility or defense.
- Target access, accuracy, or survivability—not ammunition—is limiting your output.
- Your damage pattern is ability-led and weapon uptime is only a secondary contribution.
- The enemy can disengage before the longer firing window creates additional value.
Timing, movement, and hero fit
Glass Cannon is a late-build investment at 6,400 souls. Judge it against the next fight and the purchases it delays, not only against its isolated tooltip value.
