Lanka Build 2018 (Guide) - The Eidolon Slayer

The Lanka is being "sold" as the ideal Eidolon hunting weapon but is that really the case ? Through my build testing The Lanka has performed exceptionally well against all three of the Eidolons but I feel it's a bit to clunky and slow to take on regular missions (outside of assassination missions)

There is no doubt that this sniper rifle packs the biggest punch of its class but the drawbacks are significant as-well. Lengthy charge rate and the travel time of the projectile make the Lanka a bit taxing on the player, especially if you consider Madurai Void Strike. Of all the sniper rifles in the game the Lanka boasts the highest damage per shot but it also is the most punishing. I'd only recommend it for Eidolon hunts in well-coordinated groups.

Hello and welcome back, as always my name is Leyzar and today were gonna be diving deeper into this mastery rank 10 Sniper Rifle. There's a lot of things to cover, i'm gonna be covering a normal “everyday” build, something that you'll be using in your normal missions, but of course we are going to be diving deeper into an Eidolon setup, and we also have a Riven so you guys can see what the Lanka is capable of. 





That being said, please keep in mind that my builds and guides usually follow a more “New Player Friendly” approach, simply because there's a lot of info here and I want anybody watching this video to understand how the weapon functions and how it should be built, so if you're a veteran of the game and already know most of the basics … please have a little patience.

And with that out of the way let's jump into the Lanka! 
First we are starting with the stats analysis, and see how the weapon handles without any mods equipped. 

When talking about Mods, Serration is 100% mandatory – 165 % extra damage. When you're talking damage there's a discussion about Heavy Caliber. Heavy Caliber fully maxed out will add the same amount of damage as Serration but it costs 55% accuracy … is it playable on the Lanka? Yes, you can go for it if you so desire, especially for Eidolon Hunts … just keep in mind that you will be needing to be close to your target in order to get the full Multi Shot on the joints of the Eidolons, because again that is the primary use of the Lanka. If you're too far away then some of your Multi Shots might land off the joint.
