![]() You add corrosive or heat to the impact one and it does armor strip and staggers sometimes. Imagine two rifles and one is impact, one is puncture respectively. When compared to even impact it seems pretty useless right? Well the difference you get it additional damage to armor, that's worth it right? Generally no, in fact it sucks against shields and the two damage types that strip armor are a hundred times better to have than puncture. Slash procs do bleed, impact procs stagger (stopping damage altogether briefly), and impact. Now puncture has always been a bit of an issue, it's regarded as the worst damage type most of the time. When comparing Akjagara is better than Akbolto except against most Grineer, Aklex is generally a beast and Spira tries to do the same but doesn't work as well despite it's better crit potential and fire rate, and Aklex and Akbolto do almost similar until you get above level 80 or so. Akjagara doesn't have great ammo efficiency from my experience, Akbolto is generally just a great weapon considering you don't need a forma to make them decent and one to make them great, Aklex is obviously in no need of changing considering it's damage output, and Spira is most similar to Aklex. Now don't get me wrong, these aren't terrible weapons, all are actually usable just to a lesser extent when puncture based. Lastly I looked at Spira Prime, Aklex Prime, Akboloto Prime, and Akjagara Prime. When Stradvar is compared to the Boltors it doesn't compare perfectly but it still does better than the other two, as a side note Stradvar Prime does better than Soma Prime when using the same build. Latron Prime performed much worse, not only did it not do nearly as well as a Sybaris Prime, already a mediocre weapon, but it didn't even beat Stradvar Prime despite it having drastically less damage but similar stats otherwise. Looking past that, Boltor Prime and Telos Boltor perform almost the same because of the heavy status and damage of Prime, and heavy crit bias of Telos. Now I still have a criticism of most rifles being too generic and almost all builds for them are the same. All of which are similar style rifles with different variations on stats. I used both Vaykor Sydon and Destreza Prime, both are situational and not as effective as other similar slash or even impact weapons.Īfter Fang I tested Boltor Prime, Telos Boltor, Latron Prime, and Stradvar Prime. When used against corpus or infested however fang did not perform as similar for obvious reasons. Used against high level grineer it was fine, I suspect since puncture does extra damage to armor and slash is the best non elemental. ![]() The main difference being slash and puncture preferences. When comparing Fang and Dual Kamas prime, their stats are similar and they performed similarly. I ended up using them with other similar weapons to compare their effectiveness. Boltor Prime, Spira Prime, and, after the more recent buff, Fang Prime. I went looking through my weapons again, finding some of my favorites.
