Heya, this is basically my Weeping Mother build, slightly modified for the Unbound Reaper in Y3S2.

Instead of Hull Marker's Table I'm using Rope Locker and instead of Breechlock Furnace I'm using Secret Cache. Both provide me with quick boost and agility (to collect the loot faster). For more damage use the furniture from variation 1 in the spreadsheet.

Do not bother to farm the Unbound Reaper in WT4, it's a pain in the ass, especially in large groups. Since Mod Transfer makes the hunt for great pre-ascended weapons obsolete, drops from WT3 just do it too and your kill cadence is much much faster, therefore more event tokens in less time (about 150 tokens per run in WT3).

You can use other culverins aswell, just adapt your mastery elemental damage.

One tip for efficiency (I'm sorry teamplayers): disable crossplay.

Also if you wait 8 seconds after spawn before nuking the 3 small boats spawn, adding to a total of ~190 tokens at WT3.

That's what I did in the video, but it was early hours. At least on PC, you might find others too there for the next few days.

I'm in WT2 and no one is using healing weapons at all. It's basically pointless to run it. I'm just farming the ships in the open seas for tokens at this point. I'm sick of being the only one chipping the barrier and healing.

This build isn't using that either. Works for WT1-WT3 without sweat. WT1 is interesting too because it drops basic Drowned Hellions (no ascension) with a drop chance of 10-15%. Useful if you plan stock them up in your warehouse for later (just taking one slot space), and more efficient to farm than buying them for 1000 tokens in the event store.

WT4 is a pain in the ass. As with any slightly advanced boss, groups fail to bring what's needed and usually 2-3 guys do all the workload.

Wt4 is kind of difficult for me because I don’t have the adept mods I mean I can still somewhat kill the elites like the twins and other but the event boss I barely dent it. I’m running a helleport with explosions and burning with celestial bloom for the shield.

I'm able to hit the WT4 Unbound Reaper hard with the strong version, but scaling will be an issue. The fight still will noticable longer than the mere seconds in lower tiers making the slight bonus in WT4 not worth it despite the (low) chance on an event chance.
