Scindo/Fragor General Comparison

[Nohosioko]

The heavy weapons can hit muliple enemies at once, but both of their movesets have 2 vertical attacks and two vertically narrow diagonal attacks for the light attacks. I can understand the hammer having the 2 vertical attacks, but not so much the axe since it was made for taking down the Infected trash mobs. Also of thoes 2 vertical attacks and one downward diagonal attack all hit the ground, wouldn't that ruin the sharp edge of the axe? Another thing I don't get is why the Axe has the property of stunning and knocking down all enemy types but not the hammer.

Scindo:

Stuns all enemy types.

Knocks down all enemy types, including certain bosses.

x3 damage verses infected with light attack.

Novelty:

Causes the screen to shake for you and your teammates (massive shaking when hitting storage containers).

Chops enemies in half.

Fragor:

Only stuns Grineer.

Ignores armor on light attack.

Novelty:

Causes massive screen shake for you and your teammates (massive shaking when hitting storage containers).

Punts enemies across the map.

try hitting the Scindo on a storage container and tell me if it's a minor screen shake...

The scindor is OP versus infected, the fragor is worse in almost every way.

The screen shake was so bad on the hammer I actually resort to just shooting the containers with the bolto and shotgun instead. So I see your point.
