Revision Log:

v 1.X.X >> Build identity changes and complete build overhaul

v X.1.X >> Central idea stays; only mod order changes or major guide rework

v X.X.1 >> No change in setup; minor guide edits only

__

UPDATE: The Choice between Electric and Heat is optional and uses same polarities, will become infinitely easier to swap between when Coda drops. This build uses electric for grouping / crowd dps with main / alt fire, otherwise Heat works just as well for general content.

IMPORTANT: Magnetic progen is still the best option as it doesnt affect status load order, however, for absolute min/maxing, its actually better to use [Magnetic Might] in our PTC slot and use a primary element for our progen + mod, however this restricts us to one dedicated setup. Use [Mag] progen at least until Coda

Unranked Seeker should be replaced with new 'Merciless Gunfight' mod. This allows free punch through / crit damage in one slot. This combination allows primary elements to once again become the optimal progens for weight and dps.

__

Why do we use?

Secondary Enervate -- Flat 10% crit per instance.

[Seeker] [Merciless Gunfight] becomes more KPM efficient than both GShot and Lethal Torrent simply by hitting 2 or more enemies, especially if using Mag Bubble / [Zephyr] Tornado, etc.
|
Punch Through is essential on single target weapons, as they do not work in an Incarnon meta otherwise.

Hornet Strike -- Necessary base damage

• Note: CO damage ignores bonus multishot, and only gives like 8% status. Only use G Shot if also external priming

Pistol Elementalist -- Multiplicative status damage, but more importantly also cuts our reload in half from 1 > 0.6s. This is huge for dps with a 6 round [Mag].

Rest should be self explanatory

Should you choose: Tenet Detron vs Kuva Brakk

The Brakk has a pellet spread of 13deg while Detron has a shot spread of only 4-6deg.

Tenet Detron dominates range with a comfy -45% fallof from 26 to 52m, while brakk has a crushingly debilitating -96% falloff from 10-20m

Detron is a projectile where Brakk is hitscan, pick your poison…

Brakk has half a meter of punch through which is enough to hit 2 enemies with a lower limb or headshot, niche at best..

Both have the same ammo economy at 210 max reserve and a 20 ammo pickup

Brak has higher crit stats with 11% +/- 25% higher cc at 29% but same crit multi 2.0x, the Brakk can Reach 108% cc at 5 puncture for a chance to hit orange crits

Brakk has a noticeably ‘higher’ fire rate of 1.66 ‘more’ than Detron for a total of 5, neither is slow enough to warrant a fire rate mod. “cough cough” alt fire spam…

Brakk has almost double the Mag size at 11 vs 6, with a 10% slower reload of 1.1

Brakk has a barely noticeable status edge at 11.1% vs 10%

Both have a default 10 multishot

Brakk is the only one with ips so it will benefit supremely from gunco.

Detron deals almost double the damager per shot with a 176 damage boost

Detron has Thermagnetic Shells which basically makes it an aoe weapon

Ok im done.. the point should have been proven by now, so we aren't even going to bother talking about detrons alt fire…

Final verdict; Tenet Detron spits on the Brakk, its absolutely embarrassing! In fact, the Kuva Brakk is so absolutely god awful that the normal Brakk from 2013 easily outperforms it after a stone's throw away. I mean, a 96% falloff across an office sized room distance and a spread that covers 15% of your screen at 100 fov?? Is that even real? There is no saving the Brakk from being absolutely utterly useless, and no saving the 5 forma people have pissed away alongside it.
