'''<u>[[Frost Shot]] provides a 50% chance to inflict Freeze,</u>''' which is improved to 70% by the power of [[Abilities#Elemental Hit|Elemental Hit]]. Freeze not only stops the enemy from moving, but also cancels their current action, which can quite helpful if the player is a [[Hunter]] or [[Vanguard]] in close-range situations. Note the [[Abilities#Freeze Resist |Freeze Resist]]: this is used to bypass the [[Frost Shot]]'s side effect. The [[Freeze Resist]] module does not work, as Partner Characters do not retain non-blast module effects. 

The actual effectiveness of this setup is middling. Even at 70%, it has troubles freezing bigger or boosted enemies, and the fact that AI does not have the highest fire rate does not help either. Freeze Lv1 only last for a few seconds, and breaks upon 3 hits, so its value is not so much stunning the enemy for openings, but in providing small windows for the player to use [[Consumables]] or heal up. It's pretty funny to see huge ice blocks, though. And it can be really funny with a full team of [[Frost Shot]] users. [[Abilities#Freeze Strike|Freeze Strike]] is also difficult to utilize, since it only applies to a maximum of 3 hits before the Freeze expires.

Don't forget to use [[Partner Characters#Quick Orders|Follow Shift]] to prevent Charge Shots during mobs, since Charge Shots do not inflict status effects.

'''<u>[[Poron Poron]] provides a 60% chance to inflict Charm</u>''', which is improved to 84% by the power of [[Abilities#Elemental Hit|Elemental Hit]]. Charm forces the inflicted mobs to attack the AI, which can be helpful at times, especially if the player is weak defensively. [[Abilities#Charm Strike |Charm Strike]] increases damage dealt to Charmed enemies by 30%, which is a MASSIVE boost. The player can equip [[Abilities#Charm Strike |Charm Strike]] to reap the benefits as well.

Similar to the above build, the effectiveness is middling, since even at 84%, it has troubles charming bigger or boosted enemies. The AI not having a high fire rate does not help either. Once inflicted, however, Charm Lv4 lasts for a fair amount of time (16 seconds), and can provide a big damage boost with [[Abilities#Charm Strike |Charm Strike]]. 

Don't forget to use [[Partner Characters#Quick Orders|Follow Shift]] to prevent Charge Shots during mobs, since Charge Shots do not inflict status effects. 

It may also be worthwhile to extend the [[Poron Poron]], and change its special effect from Charm to Sleep. Applying Sleep at 60% or 84% rate can potentially be very useful, and argubly even better than Charm.

'''<u>Alternative Charm Build #1.</u>''' [[Zooming Scissor]] has Charm Lv3 and a very high charm rate (50%, 70% with Elemental Hit). While it has a lower rate and effect level than the [[Poron Poron]], it's still a very respectable rate, and [[Spears]] are a far better weapon in the hands of an AI compared to [[Longbows]]. If you are more dedicated to inflicting Charm, it may be worth equipping a [[Photon Arts]] to maximize your chances, since [[Photon Arts]] apply [[Status effects]] and deals multiple hits.

Ultimately [[Spears]] are not amazing for chaining, though.

It may also be worthwhile to extend the [[Zooming Scissor]], and change its special effect from Charm to Sleep. Applying Sleep at 50% or 70% rate can potentially be very useful, and argubly even better than Charm.

|N/A
|[[Abilities#Elemental Hit |Elemental Hit]], [[Abilities#Saber Advance|Saber]]/[[Abilities#Whip Advance|Whip Advance]], [[Abilities#Charm Strike |Charm Strike]]
|}
'''<u>Alternative Charm build #2.</u>''' Performs a bit better compared to the other three builds, as [[Opa Opa]] + right-hand is a decent chaining tool as is. However, the rates are lower, so it's less likely for Charm to occur.

The [[Amore Rose]] has a 30% Charm rate, and has multi-lock to hit more enemies with. However, since it starts at A-rank, it requires an Extend to be viable at higher levels. As a [[Whips|Whip]], it provides category bonus of TEC, which somewhat improves the damage from the [[Opa Opa]]. Both damage and chaining speed from the whip itself is quite poor, though.

The [[Innocent Mari]] is the better weapon, with higher stats, and provides +100 ATK if the user is a different gender from another member in the party. As a Saber, it also swings faster than a Whip does. However, both its Charm Level (Lv2) and Charm rate (20%) are lower, which makes it worse for Charm Dedication. Note that the [[Innocent Mari]] does not make a set with the [[Loveheart Line]], even though the [[Bloody Mari]] does.

|}
'''<u>[[Gigadrill]] has a 50% chance to inflict Burn!</u>''' Burn adds additionally passive damage, which can be quite good for large enemies with a big HP pool.

The reason I didn't specify any [[R-Mags]] is because there isn't great [[R-Mags]] that have access to Burn. [[Landale Shag]] is actually quite decent, but its value lies in free launching for free hits rather than its Burn aliment or its chain speed. Or you can extend one of the A-rank GRM [[R-Mags]] with Fire element, which is not really great, soooooooo yeah.

Just equip whatever is generally more effective instead.

'''<u>[[Magana Slayer]]'s got 20% Incap rate</u>''', the highest Incap rate in the game! Isn't that awesome!

Since Incap doesn't have provide any indicator for when it procs or not, I have no idea whether it's actually affected by Elemental Hit or how often it procs.

But since [[Magana Slayer]] is A-rank, an Extend is required to make it catch up to later ranks.
