What are some good Secondaries to pair with Yareli (Merulina)

[Zahnrad]

If you came here to say "Use the augment that removes Merulina" please just don't comment. Not trying to be mean, just hear that way too often.

 

Specifically, looking for weapons that make up for Yareli having more difficulty landing precise shots while moving on Merulina. Hopefully weapons with a stable ammo economy. Explosive AoE weapons work, but not so much if you can't sustain an ammo pool.

Ocucor, Sporelacer and Kompressa. There is no contest.

These 3 weapons give you the absolute biggest bang for your buck.
All weapons can make heavy use of Yarelis Passive compared to other viable options. Generally you want an AOE, auto-locking or linking weapon, or you're spending a LOT of time and energy carefully aiming at enemies.

Ocucor, use the Sentient Surge augment (Was a nightwave reward a few tracks back, you can currently get it from Daughter in the Necralisk because of Nights of Naberous), and build it as a hybrid Crit/Status.
The Ocucors unique trait being that it creates auto-locking tendrils (max 3) that hit enemies perfectly, doing a little less damage than the main beam (don't let that throw you off though), and just steamrolls through anything. Yareli with the Ocucor is my Go-to arbitration frame because of this, as the tendrils can auto-lock onto Arbi drones and make it just an absolute snooze fest.

Sporelacer fires bouncing cluster grenade essentially, and does multiple instances of a sizable enough AOE. You can also add on the Pax Charge kitgun arcane to completely ignore requiring ammo, as it'll work on a battery system.
You can build the sporelacer however you want as it's a kitgun, but the best combo is combining it with the Haymaker and Splat, to get the highest damage and Crit out of it as you can.

Kompressa is Yarelis gun, and does innate Viral, has good CC and fantastic SC. It's damage is surprisingly enormous for what it is, and has a generous AOE.
Super easy to aim, generally just a spam fire at the enemies feet and let the explosions do the rest, type gun.

No other secondaries contend with these 3 options on Yareli.

Honourable mentions are:
Kuva Nukor
Tenet Cycron
Tombfinger
Catchmoon
Angstrum (incarnon)
Dual Toxocyst (incarnon)
Sicarus (incarnon, but this is currently bugged for stupid amounts of damage, expect it to be fixed and much worse)

Sporelacer kitgun built for crit maybe (Haymaker grip for max dmg and either Splat loader or Killstream loader for max crit)?

Building one with the highest crit chance possible (35% crit chance and 3.3x crit multiplier) works well with her passive, it has a decent AOE (4.7 meters) and has a lot of ammo in reserves (Can also use Pax Charge to make it a battery weapon instead so running out of ammo isn't an issue) so it's a really good weapon if you want a strong secondary and one that is easy to use on K-Drive / Merulina.

If you are purely for trash-cleaning, grab the Ocucor augment at Daughter now.

Sporelacer is kinda interesting with battery arcane. (AoE)

I second this. Recharging ammo, big damage, no aiming needed.

[WindShadow970]

Less popular options: Gaze kitgun, Catabolyst (with Critical mutation augment) and Onos*

Onos has a weird interaction with Yareli, the incarnon form can be cancelled when jumping on Merulina...but it maintains incarnon charge. So you can swap back and forth between normal and incarnon mode at your leisure; both modes are good guns, normal mode can replenish ammo on kill so no major ammo issues and the Onos loves Yareli's passive. I find it quite fun

Pretty common misconception aabout this being the best combination. Haymaker Killstream offers exact same stats damage/cc/statuswise, but shorter reload over bigger magazine, which with Pax Charge makes it higher dps over Splat.
