As a seasoned veteran of the Reincarnation realm, I must say that Momo is undoubtedly one of my favorite characters to play with, especially when it comes to unleashing chaos and destruction upon my foes. The synergy between her unique abilities and the various Ascensions available makes for an exhilarating and unforgettable experience.
Momo, a fresh character, has been incorporated into Gunfire Reborn alongside other characters through the Realm of Frost and Inkwash DLC expansions. Throughout the game, numerous characters have been introduced, many of which are exceptionally inventive (and unusually powerful) at their initial release. Similarly, Momo exhibits this same trait, but it seems they might be more potent than most other characters upon introduction.
Here’s a suggestion for paraphrasing: It’s worth noting that Momo can only disrupt the game when used effectively, but their ability descriptions can sometimes be perplexing. Let’s delve deeper into Momo as a character, exploring their mechanics and offering tips on how to optimize them for superior performance.
Character Overview
An Adorable Unkillable Machine
| Ability Name | Ability Type | Cooldown/Default Capacity | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ink Form | Primary | 15 Seconds | Transform into Ink Spirit AKA Ink Form for 16 seconds. Ability also generates 2 Ink Orbs on the field when you transform which, when picked up, gives you +10 Ink Points. By pressing the Fire input and using 15 Ink Points, you can attack in a 5-meter area around you with Ink Splash, dealing 450 Ink Damage to every enemy in the area of effect. |
| Drawing Come True | Secondary | 3x Capacity | Sends an Ink Scroll forward 15 meters, leaving behind Black Domain along its path that lasts for 10 seconds. The Ink Scroll also blocks enemy projectiles as it flies forward, knocks back any enemies hit 5 meters, and deals 500 normal damage as well. |
In the game Gunfire Reborn, there are numerous characters who excel in close combat, given its first-person shooter roguelike nature. One of the earliest available characters is Qing Yan, while others like Tao and Qian Sui require some Soul Essence farming to unlock. Interestingly, Momo stands out among other close-range fighters due to their unique abilities that allow them to transform into a Bruiser for close combat or a long-range DPS. To maximize Momo’s potential damage output, it is best to focus on building their Ink Form, acquiring a weapon usable while in this form, and seeking Occult Scrolls that enhance Skill Damage and Weapon Damage.
Weapon Recommendations
Starfly if Possible, Some Other Options if Not
Unlike our guide for Lyn, it might appear we aren’t suggesting many weapons for Momo. However, this is because most characters in “Gunfire Reborn” can handle all types of weapons fairly well. You don’t necessarily need to seek out weapons that complement the character’s abilities if you prefer not to. This guide, however, focuses on recommendations for the best weapons that align with Momo’s unique skills.
| Weapon Name | Weapon Type | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Tracker | Rifle | The Weapon Skill of this Rifle is great and synergizes well with Momo’s Dyeing Weapon Ascension tree. |
| Concealed Ammo | SMG | You can spam the Weapon Skill of this SMG incredibly easily, again mixing well with Momo’s Dyeing Weapon tree. |
| Talisman | Pistol | Another weapon with an easily spam-able Weapon Skill. |
| Cloud Weaver | Pistol | Another option for auto-firing while in Ink Form, you’ll just need to send the Cloud Weaver projectiles out, then go into Ink Form. |
| Star Ring | Pistol | Star Ring is the second best auto-firing option for Momo behind Starfly, just remember you don’t want this one on Auto since it’ll automatically retract the ring. |
| Arc Light | Pistol | The last pistol auto-firing option for Momo in Ink Form. Not the best choice but certainly not the worst either. |
| Wheel Saw | Shotgun | Another weapon with an easily spam-able Weapon Skill. |
| Tempest | Launcher | The Weapon Skill synergizes with a lot of Momo’s Dyeing Weapon tree of his Ascensions. |
| Starfly | Staff | Keeps firing while Momo is in Ink Form. Is actually broken with this character, by far his best weapon option. Make sure to turn it to ‘Auto’. |
| Phoenix Roar | Staff | The Weapon Skill of this Staff works in Momo’s Ink Form, and its primary fire is also incredibly handy. |
Despite there being a pretty wide variety of recommendations, Starfly is hands down the best weapon to use on Momo and it’s not even close. Unless the Inscriptions are awful, you’ll almost always want to switch to a Starfly when you can on this character, even if it’s a bit of a downgrade in damage at first. Just remember to set the Starfly’s firing mode to ‘Auto’ and watch as the game basically plays itself for the rest of the run.
Ascension Recommendations
Anything Influencing Ink Form or Ink Damage
If we wanted to break down Momo’s general build methodology as simply as possible, we could say that you should just always grab Incarnate Ink Ascensions whenever you see them. But, while this works, it doesn’t really provide a lot of helpful info. So, let’s go over some of the best Ascension options for each ‘branch’ of Momo’s Ascension tree and talk about why exactly you should grab them:
| Ascension Name | Ascension ‘Branch’ | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Surge Ink | Incarnate Ink | Just a massive Ink Damage buff, makes Ink Form even scarier. |
| Residual Traces | Incarnate Ink | Makes Ink Splash do actual damage, very helpful early on especially. |
| Colorful Black | Incarnate Ink | Turns Ink Form into an enemy-killing machine. |
| Ink and Blank, Yin and Yang | Incarnate Ink | Keeps the Blank Domain buffs and debuffs active a lot more often overall. |
| Sharp Penmanship | Ink Painting | Drawing Come True overall damage buff. |
| Pause and Turn | Ink Painting | Debuffs enemies a lot especially with how often Blank Domain is active. |
| Quick Sketch | Ink Painting | Makes building into Movement Speed more viable from a damage standpoint and makes getting through stages a lot faster. |
| Geometry Art | Dyeing Weapon | Enemies will almost always be within around 8 meters while in Ink Form, so this will be active very often. |
| Grinding Ink | Dyeing Weapon | The best Ascension for a Weapon Skill build with Momo. |
| Hold Brush | Dyeing Weapon | Helps a ton with overall survivability with any Momo build. |
Generally speaking, prioritize items that boost Ink Damage, the duration or damage of the Blank Domain, or the duration of Ink Form. However, if your goal is to develop Momo based on Weapon Skills rather than the Ink Form build (which isn’t as universally powerful in this alternative setup), then look for Dyeing Weapon Ascensions first.
Occult Scrolls Recommendations
Anything That Buffs Skill Damage, Weapon Damage, or Surviability
In contrast to the relatively limited weapon suggestions for Momo, the recommendations for Occult Scrolls are quite extensive. This is because Momo primarily functions as a close-range bruiser, and its playstyle complements a wide variety of different Occult Scrolls. Furthermore, Momo’s unique element, Ink Damage, is mostly enhanced by Momo’s own Ascensions, leading to the use of more ‘general’ Occult Scrolls that offer significant overall improvements rather than a few ‘specific’ ones that provide extraordinary benefits in isolated areas.
As a dedicated Momo enthusiast, I can’t help but share some scrolls that have proven effective across various build types. Keep in mind, these suggestions aren’t ranked, they’re simply a collection of useful scrolls for optimizing your gameplay experience on Momo.
| Occult Scroll Name | Rarity | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Brutal Gloves | Normal | Basically just a flat damage buff for Momo in Ink Form. |
| Improved Clip | Normal | Works well to allow Momo to keep auto-firing while in Ink Form with specific weapons. |
| Ammo Belt | Normal | Same reasoning as Improved Clip. |
| Genesis | Normal | Same reasoning as Improved Clip. |
| Skateboarder | Normal | Same reasoning as Improved Clip. |
| Field Support | Normal | You’re almost always moving while Momo stays close to enemies. |
| Resilient Life | Normal | Helps with survivability while you’re up close with enemies. |
| Sucker Punch | Normal | A big early-run buff to Ink Splash. |

| Battle Nature | Normal | Will almost always be in effect in an Ink Form build for Momo. |
| Giant Slayer | Rare | Essentially just a constant damage buff. |

| Flowing Wind | Rare | You’ll be running around in Ink Form constantly, with this you’ll have more damage resistance while doing so. |

General Playstyle Tips
Turn On Ink Form, Turn Off Brain
As a devoted fan, here’s my take on delving deeper into the mechanics of Momo, along with some useful advice for playing this character effectively. I managed to reach Reincarnation Level 8 using these tips and tricks:
- If you just want a broken build that will entirely destroy the balance of the game, simply build into making Momo’s Ink Form last as long as possible, grab Ascensions that buff Momo’s Ink Damage, and put all your money into a Starfly. Once the Starfly gets going, you basically just need to look in the general direction of enemies and they’ll be gone before you even realize what you’re looking at.
- Staying in Momo’s Blank Domain or keeping enemies in it is a pretty big part of Momo’s design. So, try and keep the ground in your peripheral vision at all times so you know where the Blank Domain areas are.
- Momo also has an area of effect ‘Ink Circle’ that they can spawn which will deal constant damage to anything inside of it. Try and keep it active as much as possible and make sure to take advantage of this Ink Circle whenever it triggers.
- Momo generates more Secondary Ability charges incredibly easily, so don’t be too cautious in overusing it, especially when using it to block enemy projectiles.
- Using Ink Splash in Ink Form without any Ink Points will quickly take you out of Ink Form, which is not what you want to do. So, try to rely on either your auto-firing weapon while in Ink Form or the constant damage of your Ink Circle, and only use Ink Splash when you have a lot of Ink Points or Ink Form duration left.
- While you may feel invincible in Ink Form as Momo right from the start of a run, try and get at least one or two survivability-focused Occult Scrolls where you can, either from the Peddler or from chests. Once you have those, you can play a lot less cautiously and still get away with it.
