MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL, WHO'S THE STRONGEST OF US ALL?!

[StrawberryShortcake]

One fine day, 3 Soma brothers were having a drink in a tavern when suddenly Soma A exclaimed: "I'm the strongest in the kingdom!"

Bolting up from his seat, Soma B rebutted: "Hell NO! I beat you in everything!"

Joining in the chaos, Soma C protested: "Both of you are just weak. I'm the champion here!"

.......

Long story short, they eventually stood in front of the kingdom's Magical Mirror and chanted in unison: "Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Who's the Strongest of us all?"



Here are the friends of the Soma brothers who worked alongside them to protect the Kingdom:

im guessing B

Ultimately probably A - it is stronger in damage imo but status of B could make up for it in certain scenarios. I would test it in simulacrum and see for myself.

Why the unranked Stormbringer though? xD

Have you heard of warframe-builder? It will tell you your overall damage, burst und sustained DPS.

appreciate the song reference :P B !

I prefer "B", the negative speed reload can be fixed easily

LOL I was swapping my mods around and accidentally put the unranked Stormbringer into the slot when I took the screenshot. It's meant to be a maxed rank

I'd drop B because negative reload speed is a bit annoying. Just a Quality of Life choice - didn't really calculate it's stats. Would pick C because least drawbacks.

On the A vs C question:  Warframe Builder tells me that the damage pretty close to each other - 2111 vs 2195 (burst dps 31667 vs 32931)- so C is a bit better. C also has the added bonus that against Corpus, it's "clearly better".

 

Edit-  corrected a small copypaste error.

Well, meh. Also counted B's stats: at 2193 it's slightly better than A and slightly worse than C. The effect of that +41.8% status chance is hard to take into account, though - but it only raises from 18% to 25%. I'd still pick C.

And actually, taking into account the reload speed and mag cap changes, B still loses, at 25666 sustained DPS vs C's 25907.

Basically: C is the best both in stats, and in QoL, in my opinion. B just MIGHT be statistically better when enemy armour values get high enough and that 7 percent increase in status chance starts to matter, but I can't really count when, and if, that would be true. And even then, longer reloading times is just annoying.

The different polarities makes it difficult to decide which to use as going either ways require a Forma.

@Tomppak TY for going onto WF Builder to compare the dmg output! This is useful info.

In fact, I got B 1st but the slower reload is quite annoying so I swapped to A. Just recently got C so am wondering which is better.

I'd choose C, because I'm only MR12. Sounds like, from the analysis, that it's the right choice anyway.
