The captured evidence supports a build-system overview: weapon and accessory combinations, upgrades and material refunds. It does not support an optimized build recommendation.
A build is a combination, not a ready-made recipe here
The Fextralife Builds page defines builds as player-made combinations of primary and secondary weapons, accessories and stat distribution. Its captured page was short and contained no filled-in example setup. S-GAME’s overview confirms weapon and accessory combinations, but does not publish a recommended stat spread.

Reforging supports experimentation
S-GAME says upgraded weapons can be reforged to return invested materials for another weapon. Wikipedia separately reports six accessories with bonuses; that quantity is secondary reporting, not a detail in the cited official overview. This page stays at the level of documented system relationships.

There are no tested builds in this source snapshot
No source here supplies an optimized weapon-and-accessory combination, verified skill-point route, damage comparison or patch-specific build test. Treat narrated combinations as leads for later checking, not recommendations for a retail build.
