How is the Furnace Gun in Lost Castle 2? An Introduction to the Strength of the Furnace Gun in Lost Castle 2

The furnace gun is a weapon category with a unique mechanism in Lost Castle 2, centered around the pressure value system and overload state, combining high burst damage with high risk. Today, I will introduce to you how this very special furnace gun in Lost Castle 2 performs. This weapon can be said to be a typical example of one that players both love and hate; those who like it can't put it down, while those who don't discard it like an old shoe. As for whether it's useful or not, let's get to know it first!

The core of the furnace gun lies in managing the pressure value - when the pressure bar fills up and enters the furnace overload state, all damage increases by about 35%, but the pressure value naturally decays over time, and any attack action will accelerate its consumption. If you actively release the pressure relief cannon (right-click skill), it will clear the pressure bar and trigger a 10-second cooldown period, during which normal attack damage decreases by 40% and skill mana cost increases by 50%. For example, when using the King's Claw, two consecutive displacement assaults (each consuming 55 mana) can quickly fill the pressure value, but at least 30 mana must be reserved for pressure relief before the overload ends, otherwise, a forced cooldown will lead to an output vacuum.

The practical positioning of mainstream furnace gun weapons varies significantly: The turbo rocket has a base damage of 90 points, plus a 10% movement speed bonus. When overloaded, the dark light column it releases can penetrate 5 enemies and cause continuous suppression, but the peak single-target damage to elite monsters is only around 280 points. It needs to be paired with the flame set to stack layers and increase burst damage. The Flame Dragon Engine boasts dual attributes of 82 physical attack + 60 magic damage, and its piercing displacement can be inserted after the third segment of a normal attack to cancel the recovery, with high-frequency combos (3.8 times per second) under the overload state, combined with the green rune "Venom Permeation," it can deal 12% of the target's maximum health as poison damage per second. The power of the Rusty Furnace Halberd's circular slash varies with the current pressure value, reaching 250% of a normal attack when fully pressurized, but it requires anticipating the boss's stagger timing to release.

The combination of runes and treasures directly determines the strength of the build. For the red rune route, the preferred choices are the Crit Glasses (critical hit rate +20%) and the Formless Blade (critical hit damage +40%), paired with the fast displacement of the King's Claw to achieve a melee crit build, but it needs to carry the "Shield Guard's Fortitude" (damage reduction 15%) to compensate for survival weaknesses. The poison damage route relies on the green rune's "Old Beak" (poison damage +30%) and "Rat's Tail" (poison stack +2), increasing the poison stacking efficiency of the Flame Dragon Engine by 50%. Essential enchantments include "Automatic Overload When Pressure Value is Full" to avoid manual pressure relief errors, and "Mana Regeneration on Crit" (regenerates 8 mana per critical hit) to maintain the skill cycle.

That concludes the introduction to the furnace gun in Lost Castle 2. In summary, the furnace gun can indeed feel a bit cumbersome to play, with the destructive output during the overload period coming at the cost of vulnerability during the cooldown. Mastering the pressure rhythm, making good use of invincibility frames from displacements, and precisely matching runes and treasures will allow this steam-powered weapon to unleash its true power in the hands of a skilled player.
