LS is either dragon or RAW dmg. anything else is not good. ls helmsplitter has a huge elemental dmg penalty due to dev stupidness (there is no other way to explain this as 90% of ls are elemental and thus this penalty makes no sense)

for LBG it depends on the monster itself as there is no lbg that can rapid fire all 4 elements in the game. the luna styx lbg is insanely good for thunder and water weak monsters plus free spare shot and sleep ammo 2.

all other lbgs are kulve due to build in crit element but these only have 1 element at most aswell.
in generel all 4 elemental lbgs come from kulve only.

styx is the only good option outside of kulve mostly. you can use karma for rapid normal 2. but thats about it. for anything else the styx is by far the best craftable LBG. plus its THE anti kulve meta lbg weapon aswell.

Styx has been surpassed as the meta KT LBG but it's definitely the best craftable.

by the kjarr thunder i guess? fair point but the difference is minimal i would say. plus the build for the kjarr lbg is consistent of event ONLY gear 100%. xeno gamma zorah gamma and kirin gamma if i remember right. all 5 pieces. plus the weapon itself is from kulve on top. most players wont have access to that when they are still farming kulve weapons to begin with^^

but purely by numbers its better. its just not very accessable compared to styx meta.

No arguments on accessibility, it's just the meta is the absolute strongest option and the Styx is down by about 7 true raw IIRC. Even before ATKT the Taroth shot Pierce unseated it. For most players the Styx is perfectly usable, although all the gamma armor does provide more skill efficiency etc.
