Lacerta - Incendiary rounds & Embertail

Lacerta is one of the most flexible traveler to build for since he's got a good base attack damage and ability power making it strong even if you're unlucky during your run.

This build is based on AP Lacerta Incendiary rounds which synergize pretty well with Embertail, that we chose as our Déjà Vu (Needless to say that the devs most likely created Embertail for Lacerta since it is literally a lizard tail). Note that you can also start with Essence of Obsidian if you want to go AD instead and prefer to with Quick Draw.

==== # Build explanation # ====

We will rely on Incendiary rounds and take advantage of its guaranteed fire dots on the next 4 basic attacks, those attacks will be buffed by Embertail and create a ricochet to a nearby enemy spreading the fire dots. Essence of Sulfur is slotted in to increase fire damage and dots, Essence of Clemency is most likely one of the strongest healing essence and will help us sustain pretty easily if we manage to find it during the run.

Our second loadout option with Lacerta is Quick Draw which has a pretty decent AD scaling. We will use Dream Ammunition to trigger Essence of Charcoal and Essence of Sharpness. We are also using Essence of Obsidian or Essence of Momentum for cooldown economy, spamming Incendiary rounds will quickly reset the cooldown of Quick draw.

Destruction

Crimson Flame will help us get more damage on Incendiary rounds and our other fire/burning damage
Elementalist to increase fire damage and other elemental damage in early game for other memories
Improvised Scope is used to help get more range and kite to apply Embertail stacks
The remaining stars are flexible, you can choose to lean more on AD with attack speed / crit or raw AP to deal more damage on dots

Life

Lizard Oil not mandatory but nice to have, it will be useful in certain boss fights
Threat Detection to compensate and reduce the cost of Lizard Oil by half
Asclepius useful in early game, before finding Essence of Clemency or any other sustain essence
Regenerative Skin just give more healing and shield which synergize nicely with Asclepius useful

imagination

Beginner's Luck is one of the best star in the imagination tree which will give us a Déjà Vu at 230% at the start of the game
Black Market is decent if you don't have luck for merchants
Other stars are good to have but not mandatory, Primordial Chaos is really good if you encounter a lot of bosses and Monstrous Charm or Northern Lizardman Bargaining can help rolling better memory/essence for merchants.

Flexible

Cartridge Belt and Explosive Ammunition are what will help us deal the most damage on this build to trigger multiple aoe with Incendiary rounds
Quick Reload will help recharge 2 stacks of Quickdraw, the cooldown increase is a non-issue thanks to Obsidian or Momentum essence which will be triggered thanks to Dream Ammunition
