Bladed Rounds vs. Point Strike [Soma Prime]

[Aishikai]

I'm using the following build:

Serration
Heavy Caliber
Split Chamber
Vital Sense
Argon Scope
Infected Clip
Stormbringer

But I don't know what should I use: Point Strike or Bladed Rounds. As you may know, Bladed Rounds gives you a +135% crit damage boost, while Point Strike gives you a +150% crit chance. With point strike I get a lot of red crits thanks to Argon Scope, but would stacking Bladed Rounds with Vital Sense instead of Point Strike with Argon Scope yield better results?

As in, less frequent but much more damaging red crits, because the Argon Scope would still be there

well, you need the point strike to get higher chance of getting those red crits.

I think red crits is quite better than yellow. Probably because more dmg.

The maths are still coming, there is some debate about the what is exactly the best combo is but so far it seems that you shouldn't give up your elemental combo and going from yellow crits to 100% red crits beats boosting the damage of yellow crits in most cases.

Where things get tricky is edge cases, like weapons with a good critical threat range but lower critical damage because red crits scale off of your crit multiplier.

We'll have to wait until either someone breaks down all the numbers or warframe builder works out the calculations for them, until then the easiest way to tell is the Simulacrum.

I've personally found that some weapons benefit far more from crit chance boosting than crit damage boosting, some need both and some, like the amprex... are just a massive pain in the ass to mod for now.

Soma so far, from my testing, gets a better return on bladed rounds than it does on argon scope. It just doesn't red crit enough to make up for the massivly higher crit damage.

Noticed something similar on the prisma grakata, the numbers were big on red crits but the time it took to kill targets seemed to be about the same.

Why Bladed Rounds vs. Point Strike when Point Strike gives more crit chance than Argon Scope without the condition? It's a little less capacity but if you might be putting it on anyway you're obviously not short? unless I'm missing something.

replace heavy caliber with bladed rounds. you'll actually do more damage without an accuracy loss
