Adamantite (Adept) god roll & best perks

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 129 from 4 February 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/19eFPPXbMv7cC0w8kJ234H?si=d61c9144b9aa4974) with @Saint_Kabr, @ImpetusAlways and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-Utility PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for healing utility and use against Minor adds in general non-underleveled content. Adamantite is the second support-frame AR in game, and the first equippable in the kinetic slot, which both heals allies, improves their damage and spawns unravelling projectiles, making it a good, fun weapon to use. At base, the stats are a bit low - 39 Range equates to 25.00m ADS and 15.63m hipfire, 49 Stability is ×1.1816 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 70 Handling is 0.32s ready, 0.26s ADS and 0.30s stow speed, 66 Reload Speed is a 1.58s reload and Recoil Direction is 52. The barrel perk can be used to improve the Recoil Direction or Stability on controller and handling on M+KB, and the magazine perk can be used to provide a bit more reload speed or extra rounds. The first trait perk column is strong for PvE, and for general content Unrelenting provides you with 65HP healing for killing 3 Minor adds with 5s of each other, or Demolitionist and Pugilist provide ability energy for grenade and melee builds. In the second column, pairing this with Circle of Life, for ×1.25 damage for 10s after rapidly healing an ally, Attrition Orbs to power armor mods or Frenzy for maxed Handling and Reload Speed stats and ×1.15 when in combat are all excellent choices. Runneth Over is probably the more immediately useful origin trait, overflowing your magazine by 10% of base magazine capacity per nearby ally (up to 5) when reloading. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with an Adept Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create Strand Tangles or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader. Also, don't forget to check whether there's a useful Seasonal Fragile mod for the activity you're running.|tags:PvE PvE-Utility PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Adamantine is our newest seasonal auto rifle and our first Strand support frame. The biggest draw with this weapon is Tear which provides Severing on precision final blows aiding your team and yourself. Reciprocity is useful if you're using this to heal teammates getting a very small bump back. Slice allows you to spread even more Sever on initial targets as well as not needing a critical kill depending on the faction could be easier on some than others." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

Adamantite is the second support-frame AR in game, and the first equippable in the kinetic slot, which both heals allies, improves their damage and spawns unravelling projectiles, making it a good, fun weapon to use. At base, the stats are a bit low - 39 Range equates to 25.00m ADS and 15.63m hipfire, 49 Stability is ×1.1816 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 70 Handling is 0.32s ready, 0.26s ADS and 0.30s stow speed, 66 Reload Speed is a 1.58s reload and Recoil Direction is 52. The barrel perk can be used to improve the Recoil Direction or Stability on controller and handling on M+KB, and the magazine perk can be used to provide a bit more reload speed or extra rounds. The first trait perk column is strong for PvE, but the standout for endgame use is Reciprocity which provides you with healing without having to kill an enemy - 3HP for each hipfired bullet that connects with an ally to heal them. In the second column, pairing this with Circle of Life, for ×1.25 damage for 10s after rapidly healing an ally, Attrition Orbs to power armor mods or Frenzy for maxed Handling and Reload Speed stats and ×1.15 when in combat are all excellent choices.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Support frame auto rifles have not been the strongest in PvP but have small niche scenarios when in a full fireteam. Demolitionist or Pugilist will depend on your build but I generally find grenades stronger than powered melees. Kill Clip is really the only option in the final column as it provides enough of a boost after a kill to offset the slight hit registration delay and get you the second+ kill." Recommended MW: Range.
