Crit versus status build

[Khalani]

Which is better for high level missions? For example take the supra vandal, it can be a status beast but in theory (warframe-builder.com) a crit build deals almost 50% more damage.

New players dont realy need to worry about status or crit

Yes, they do need to care about the primary deciding factors of damage.

Only seration can go a long way

Slash procs are a Status.

They also pair very well with Viral procs.

Hunter munitions is a crit build mod though. You have to be able to consistently land a critical hit to make good use of it and it really benefits from large crit damage values too, status chance doesn't affect it.

Also if you add viral then you're in hybrid build territory.

Hunter Muntions is a special case. It's a crit mod that can force a Slash proc on any crit weapon. Status chance may not effect it, but the the Slash proc is a status, it is a status that you are using to do more high lvl damage.

One could argue that any build that uses Hunter Muntions immedately becomes a hybrid build.

Maybe technically, but you only need crit mods to make it work. I use a lenz which is pure crit and multishot and I have no trouble using just that to take me to 16 on the elite sanctuary onslaught. Viral is obviously going to make it better but then you are definitely in hybrid territory then.

Like I said it's only really on primary weapons crit wins and it's specifically because of that mod.

Depends, for main weapons hunter munitions makes crit more viable against armoured targets as you can always generate slash procs, that ignore armour, regardless of the weapons damage type.

Slash procs are a Status.

They also pair very well with Viral procs.

maybe so, but they are triggered by crits

引用自 Walrus-Sama：

Status > Crit

Hybrid Build > All

I induce you to rethink that one on primaries.
Heard of Hunter Munitions?

Crit > Status.
Gets triggered on critical damage, has a chance of 30% to trigger.
You can melt down Lv 150 Bombards with ease, either you use viral or corrosive, half of a Baza magazine and the Bombard gone history. Try the same with a regular corrosive weapon and high status chance, you won't be as effective as with a semi status but higher crit chance weapon.

Why you ask?
Glad you have asked Watson! I mean, Walrus!
Once you ripped off the armor layer, corrosion becomes obsolete. It only has increased damage on armor, thus, when armor gone -> your (corro) damage gone.

Have you heard of other weapon types except primary weapons?

but when to get to the bottom of it that mod just makes crit weapon into a hybrid weapon

Thiiiiis explains why my Dex pixia does quite well, hybrid crit/viral is a killer setup and is my best so far
