Disclaimer: Effective Raw in the builder can not be used as an accurate damage comparison due to
affinity and about half of our damage not critting!
Why no Artian?
Even with perfect reinforcements (5x attack) Artian gunlance only hits 230 raw while being stuck at normal
shelling power, shelling power is one of the most important damage stats we have so it ends up being a lot
worse than the best craftable option.
What about the guardian Arkveld set?
It was a fairly popular set early on, however ended up not lasting very long since we found out flayer doesn’t
actually do much, it falls behind in raw quite a lot only really having burst going for it. On top of that, the healing
is very unreliable in multiplayer so it’s been omitted from this album.
4 piece Gore + g. Odo helm:
Personally I think this is our strongest set currently for most purposes, it has just slightly lower raw than the 4p g. Odo set while suffering less from conditional skills (at most losing 8 raw from agi and 5 from gore set, while the other sets lose full peak/agi respectively) and getting a bunch of free affinity from antivirus.
Level 2 slots are fairly flexible and you don’t have to run them as I do, in terms of damage I do think max might is our best option though after peak which isn’t realistic to keep up in most scenarios with no built in healing.
4 piece Arkveld + Uth Duna coil:
While this set ends up a bit lower damage than the others (similar raw, much less affinity), it has its merits due to being very comfy to play with Arkveld’s healing which also helps keep up peak performance at the same time.
Level 2 slots are once again interchangeable.
4p g. Odo + Dahad legs
While having a bit higher raw damage than the 4 piece gore set (287 vs 284 before outside buffs), I think it falls behind slightly based on agitator uptime and losing out on some affinity. Still perfectly good to run and a very strong set, especially since you have easy access to it just breaking into the endgame.
Level 2 slots are once again interchangeable.
