Author's notes

You either one shot, or they one shot you. Created by author of top Calico build "I'm gonna burst", but now spirit drifter Heavily based on "Im da drifta". Right now hybric drifter is better than just gun or spirit, abuse it as much as you can Last patch: A bit weaker Rend & Mystic shot scaling QOL LOCK AUTOMATICALLY UPDATES BUILD WHEN LOADING GAME!!
