My 2 builds Simulor Synoid. Which better?

[Kronxito]

I have pure damage:

Spoiler

And critics build:

Looking at numbers, it seems first build is better but... how about critics build? Is better?

Thx you.

[ranks21]

first build is better, you want the stack as high as possible  and no the crit build is just a waste with this weapon.

[Kronxito]

Thx.

Crits are better if Enemies are facing towards you, which tbh they probably are. merging at/above head height is pretty easy. not as reliable perhaps though.

btw Vile Acceleration is a direct upgrade from Speed Trigger.

you lose ~4-6% total Damage. completely negligible.

 

when you say it's 15%, here's some math:
100 Base Damage, plus Serration == 265 Damage
100 Base Damage, plus Serration and Vile Acceleration == 250 Damage

250/265 == 94.3396% of the original Damage.

but it gets better! with Heavy Caliber too:
100 Base Damage, plus Serration & Heavy Caliber == 430
100 Base Damage, plus Serration & Heavy Caliber and Vile Acceleration == 415

415/430 == 96.5116% of the original Damage.

 

you'll barely be able to tell the difference in the Damage Numbers.
it's a direct upgrade.
