Sancti Tigris vs Tigris Prime

[(XBOX)oOJeshuanOo]

It's been a 50/50 battle between the two, ever since Sancti Tigris was added to the game.

So, which one do you think is better? Explain why.

 

[GPrime96]

It would matter how you want the shotgun to perform. If you want very High Status Damage, Tigris Prime. If you want a Faster Reload speed, and a Syndicate Proc that can heal you but with less damage and Status chance, Sancti Tigris. I think the Prime is better but that's because it can Reach 100% Status without Shotgun Savvy so you can put in more Multishot, Punchthrough, or damage as a Replacement for Shotgun Savvy.

[Miser_able]

I prefer the prime because I like status, but I've never used the sancti so I can only compare them on paper.

[Dreddeth]

The Prime, with its ability to mod for 100% status and much higher damage, is just better at being a Tigris.

[Hello]

I only have experience with Tigris Prime, although someday I'll try Sancti Tigris. However, with the prime at 100% status and the build I'm using, I'm destroying everything I have come against. For some numbers, 100% status, slash damage at 9784 (would be more whenever I can find sweeping serration). Radiation 22015 and Viral at 14676. I know numbers would be higher, but I can't max my primed point blank right now.

They're both plenty for most content, but a 100% status Tigris is just kind of insane, and the Prime version can reach that without using a fifth Status Chance mod.

Sancti Tigris has the built-in Syndicate Proc which includes a heal and it also has a faster reload, so it has that going for it.

The Tigris series biggest issues have always been that despite dealing so much damagee they mught as well jujst be firing entire skyscrapers instead of bullets they are only damaging one, meybe two foes at a time.  Wow I'm leaving that sentence unedited because I don't know how I managed quite that many typos and it's funny to me.  Anyway, the Tigris Prime can reach the coveted 100% status chance, and still have room for a Punch-Through mod, which at least somewhat fixes that weakness by damaging what you're shooting at and whatever's behind it, while the Sancti version attempts to tackle that issue with an improved reload time, in a way valuing quantity over quality, so to speak.

Back before tigris prime, sancti was the highest hitting shotgun. I still think sancti works better for speedy playstyle like volt, nezha, zephyr due to it's high reload time, but the prime has a higher number all around.

[DarmakX99]

I'm not a fan of any Tigris due to how they feel when shooting, so neither?  

[(PSN)IroncladBomber]

The Prime. Sancti is just not good in Comparison. I mean the Tigris Prime is already one of the Most Powerful Guns in the game. But...

[TheUnknownD]

Tigris prime is by far the most op weapon in the game. 100% status chance with corrosive damage, Have Akstiletto Prime to have viral, GG.

 

Swap to Akstiletto Prime, Status proc the enemy, Switch to Tigris Prime then Kapow.

 

Tip: You can hold down the firing trigger to only shoot once.

 

I love to use the Tigris prime (With viral, not corrosive) on ash with the seeking shuriken with Corrosive Projection. 100% armour reduction with his shuriken

Once the prime came out the sancti got shelved.

[Bao]

Between the two, Tigris Prime if I'm out to insta-nuke Mutalist Alad V. Sancti Tigris on the very rare occasion I desire to use it, and usually then its for the heal procs.

I shelved my Tigris Prime ages ago due to its terrible reload time and double shot, once I discovered better and more fun shotguns like the Corinth, Astilla, Arca Plasmor, and Sobek. Don't get me wrong - it hits like a truck but the fact you literally spend 75% of the mission reloading and 25% of the time blowing up an enemy with excessive damage that doesn't do anything but overkill one (or a few depending if you have punch through) enemy, it just has no practical use for me outside of specific bosses. If I want sustained damage, I'll go with Sobek and Acid Shells. Sure, doesn't get the same 100% status but it's fun watching a hallway full of enemies blow up from the proc. Or watch Corinth send a hundred mobs flying into space. Astilla looks amazing with the glass shatter and doesn't do terribly with damage. Arca Plasmor - who doesn't wanna throw radiation into the enemies' faces?

Tigris Prime is, as its gameplay goes, short, sweet, and to the point. It shoots twice, reload. That's all.

[(PSN)Akabane85]

Both are really good even at Sorties 3, with Tigris Prime being superior damage wise. But Sancti Tigris has faster reload speed, and useful proc that heals you.

I have both and  I prefer using Sancti for clearing mobs faster, in rare case I'll use Tigris Prime when enemy is too hard to kill (100+ level armored units etc.).

Both reach overkill status on like 97% of the stuff in the game with a standard build. The last 3% is endurance runs.

Sanci with inaros or nidus

[-VS-Airikr]

Some people here forgot (or dont know?) That Sancti Tigris has 28% base status and thus easy 100% status aswell.

 

OP it all comes down to whether you want to trade in bit of base damage for a syndicate proc (heal in this case) and other slight stat changes.

No one forget that. 28*(1+0.6*4) = 95,2 so you need another status mod to reach the 100%. A mod that only gives you status. The tigris prime doesn't need that mod, so it has 1 damage mod more than sancti.

For 100% status:

4 damage mods + 4 hybrid (prime) vs 3 damage mods + 4 hybrid + shotgun savvy (sancti)

So, prime is better for damage, sancti for syndicate proc

You can get to 100% status even in that configuration using the Syndicate mod (it adds +20 Status chance not 20%... it's 20% flat additive). I got a good riven for it and can  get to 11k/shot with full status or 23k/shot without.

As for the OP, I used them both and kept Tigris Prime. I don't play Status that much (death is kind of a permanent status), plus I hate that trigger so I prefer shooting as less as I can with it. As powerful as it is it suffers from the worst damage falloff and spread I ever saw and it's horrible against multiple enemies. I'ts also so meta that Rivens are useless for it, so a less meta shotgun can achieve better results with less troubles - Sobek for Status and CC and Arca Plasmor for damage against "few" targets.

i didnt say that you can get the 100% status with just the 4 dual mods though. I mean i can see where that comes from since most people calc with just these mods.

And my point " it all comes down to whether you want to trade in bit of base damage for a syndicate proc (heal in this case) and other slight stat changes" still stands.

People like to shred lvl 150 enemies. But I keep in mind that you pretty much NEVER see that high of a leveled enemy. So I will go with whatever keeps me alive, which is fast reload and healing. (I've always loved Sancti Tigris). 

Unless I want to 100 waves in the tier 4 void missions, yeah, I might go for Tigris Prime. (but then again, Sancti Tigris could keep you from being mowed by those lvl 300+ enemies).

[FAZZWARFRAME]

Tigris Prime for me personally.

 

Of all the reasons to use Sancti Tigris over the prime version, there are many other weapons accommodating those reasons better than Sancti

[CupcakesMoo]

Tigris prime. Once I make a decision i stick with it. I don't care one iota about sancti. Im not going to work or pay for it. 

[(PSN)LubzinNJ]

100% status shotgun > anything else

argument over

[cookieknife]

if you get 100% status (which is possible with a riven or that acolyte mod) sancti tigris beats it out, but the prime looks better so

[(XBOX)Evilpricetag]

unless your going with gas the sancti's aoe proc likely will get more kills, the prime is boss/single target.
