The Kuva Bramma and the dangers of self damage!

[Ikusias]

I have been using the kuva bramma for a week already and found a good compromise to avoid self-immolation due to pets, kamikaze enemies and bulletjumping squadmates:

 shred or better primed shred.

You are getting extra fire rate and the ability to ignore at least the first body/wall/pet in the way of your shot - this works particularly well on the bramma more than the lenz due to it using secondary fire trigger to detonate the arrows on command, turning them in airburst grenades with interesting effects.

Considering the damage numbers i'm seeing, even cautious shot would be totally useless in saving a player's bacon here... doubly so if using any of the armor ignoring damage types as well!

Also consider this:

Cautious shot: waste a mod lsot just to try to avoid accidental death

Primed Shred: invest a slot in extra fire rate (2x on bows!) + ignoring doors, cover, part of tile geometry, corpses, players and pets in the way

 

i believe the winner is quite clear here
