How To Form Powerful Elemental Combos In FAR FAR WEST

Welcome to Far Far West, a one to four

player western heist extraction RPG

shooter. But to make sure that you're

going to be a quality cow poking

teammate, that's a weird puzz. Or if you

want to try to survive solo, I'm going

to break down how to get more out of the

game's elemental combo system to make

some pretty destructive synergies. Like

a cactus type spell that summons an

object like Mino can be imbued with

elemental properties to deal higher

damage. However, a bonus effect happens

if you combine the electricity spell

strikes with any player summoned object

like Mino, forming a large AoE

detonation of electricity around the

point of impact on that cactus mine.

Electrified mines have another bonus on

top of that, arcing short-range zaps of

electricity to nearby targets, giving

this kind of like an extended attack

reach. If you go to the loadout bot,

then select your sidearm, then hit

customize, you can change its default

elemental shot type. If you set it to

electricity, you then have an easy tool

for quickly converting those Minos mines

to electrical without the need to put

another spell on cooldown. Useful for

priming an area with electrified traps.

Another combo with these cactus mines,

if you cast drain on an enemy nearby,

that'll change the mine into this purple

voodoo form. If an enemy passes through

a voodoo imbued mine like this and

doesn't die from the explosion, it'll be

converted to fight on your side. Then it

just runs around and kills enemies for

you before eventually crumbling. The

cactus turret spell called pistol arrow

can be imbued with acid fire or

electricity as well, increasing its

damage. So, if you're placing these and

not elementally infusing them, you're

kind of missing out on DPS. Casting the

strike spell on this turret does the

same area of effect blast of electricity

around it, which can be further

harnessed by the turret to create a

strong synergy. Put down the pistol

arrow, cast strikes on it, then hit it

with acid damage from your sidearm or a

spell. If an enemy is standing in the

electrified ground close to the turret,

the acid shots of the turret will

automatically combo to create a strong

storm explosion each shot. Against small

basic enemies, they're not going to live

long enough for this to make much of a

difference. But against larger health

pool enemies and some bosses, this can

pretty rapidly drain their health if you

get them within range to trigger this.

Next one. Instead of coating an enemy

with acid like with the thrower spell,

then detonating that effect with a pyro

spell like fireball, try that idea but

the other way around. Light the enemy on

fire with fireball, then spray them with

the acid thrower to make a volatile

rapid explosion throughout the entire

animation. Against higher HP enemies,

this can be the more effective route.

You can also achieve a similar effect by

applying electricity first, like with

the strike spell, then laying into them

with the thrower spell. If you change

your sidearm to innately deal

electricity damage or fire damage, you

can pop the target with just one shot,

then use the acid thrower, saving you

from having to rely on two spells to

achieve this combo. The next tier of

powerful elemental synergies can be done

by casting something like the acid

geyser combined with fireball to

repeatedly trigger a large area of

effect explosion around the base of that

geyser. Just don't get too close when

casting this or you will get hurt by

your own renegade pyrochnics.

Another option, cast geyser, then hit it

with the electrical shock of the strike

spell. This will spawn multiple geysers

around that detonation point and

continually blast storm explosions all

around the area. Dangerous, but

satisfying.

Take the acid geyser, combine it with

fire beam, and you just found the

special recipe for a flaming tornado.

Neat. Take that unnecessary, ridiculous

step further by casting strikes on the

geyser fire tornado combo. And now you

pretty much have the apocalypse in your

pocket.

If you want to go a maximum screen

melting how much did you spend on your

graphics card build, go into the next

mission with geyser, firebeam, and

strikes. Enjoy. Stay out of the blast

radius.

Elemental effects that coat the ground

like spraying the acid thrower can be

chained into a detonation with

electricity or with fire damage,

altering then that section of ground to

that corresponding element. However,

squirt some acid around combined with a

voodoo spell like drain will actually

summon these little purple healing

candles around the elementally infused

floor. You can use that sequence to deal

damage, drain enemies health for

yourself, and spawn health candles that

everyone can pick up for health. Your

teammates will appreciate the candle

drops. This doesn't just work with the

ground acid, though. It'll also chain

through the path of electricity or

burning sections of ground.

Combine that voodoo effect with some

concepts I explained earlier. Put down a

mine, hit it with strikes to make a

large area of electricity, then cast

drain to summon healing candles all

around it. or put down a cactus turret,

hit it with strikes, pop it with a

sidearm imbued with acid, then cast

drain and you'll have formed that

electrical storm explosion effect with

the turret and have some nice healing

snacks littered around it. And now the

last thing that I have here is more of

just a good all-around build you can put

together with the basic spells you start

with if you're just brand new. Take the

spells Mino, thrower, and drain with a

sidearm imbued with electrical damage.

This lets you easily trigger that

electricity into acid thrower combo. Big

damage sequence. Use drain to heal

yourself, which can also spawn those

extra healing candles on the elementally

infused ground that we leave behind. Or

prime the mines with their electrical

shock effect. And as a bonus, you can

cast drain near your mind to turn it

into a trap that converts enemies to

fight for you. A lot of options there

for just one build, one person.

Good in a team, but also great for solo

play if you want something that'll keep

you alive and take down those larger

hordes. I'll throw some bonus raw

gameplay of how I use this build playing

solo on higher difficulties at the very

end of the video.

All right, that's Far Far West and some

of the ways you can take advantage of

its elemental combo mechanics. If you

found any other useful synergies and

would like to share them with the rest

of the barely paying attention class,

put them down in the comments and I'll

check out what you've got. Also, if

you're playing Far Far West, what do you

think of it so far? Pretty impressed

that this is like day one of early

access.

Okay, now if you happen to see me out

there in a lobby, make sure to say

cowpoke. That's how I I'll know it's

you. Yeah. And as always, I'm Alex.

Thanks for checking this out today.
