pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "I enjoy the sights on this fusion, does that make it the best? Not really. There's a lot of good options in PvE; Reconstruction, Keep Away, and even Demolitionist are all good in slot. Controlled Burst with Reconstruction will be the best for pure damage. Opt for Incandescent and instead you've got a great room clearing weapon. Incandescent Vs Reservoir Burst is a discussion for another time." Recommended MW: Charge Time.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "This is the first fusion to get Keep Away boosting your accuracy while also providing some nice range. With the right investments you can get to 100 range. Add in Kickstart for a slight damage bonus and charge time decrease and you've got yourself a menace. An alternative if you are going Kickstart is Firmly Planted to get all your accuracy bonuses whole knee sliding." Recommended MW: Range.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 106 from 18 June 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0GYlriUxhFqNHGLqb84C1G?si=bb5a2c9b339d4c35) with @ImpetusAlways, @CourtProjects and @Saint_Kabr. First-choice PvE pick for backup DPS against Majors and Bosses in end-game content. Shapeable. If you don't already have a fusion rifle for backup DPS, Axial Lacuna is available and shapeable. If you're interested, a lacuna is a gap or blank space, so the name refers to something missing in the direction of an axis. Improve your handling with your barrel perk, and then with your battery, Accelerated Coils is probably the top choice, but there's also something to be said for the extra shots you'll get from Enhanced Battery. there's nothing better than Reconstruction in the first trait perk slot, doubling your battery's capacity for a damage phase. In the second trait slot, Controlled Burst is the go-to trait for bonus damage, both adding +20% damage and reducing charge time for just landing all your bolts. The Dealer's Choice origin trait is nice to have (who doesn't love more super energy?) - with two or three Pale Heart weapons, you'll notice the difference! Recommended MW: Charge Time, with a Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-BossSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

Controlled Burst

Scoring a Kill or hitting every shot in a burst grants 20% increased damage and 10% decreased Charge Time for 2 seconds.

Incandescent

Weapon Kills trigger a Solar explosion that applies 30 Scorch Stacks (40 with Ember of Ashes) and deals up to 30 damage to enemies within 4 meters of the target. Killing Elite or higher tier Combatants and Players increases the radius to 8 meters and applies 10 more Scorch Stacks. Scorch damage can be increased through Weapon Damage Buffs.

Exceptions: • Swords only receive a 35% damage increase. • Grenade and Rocket Launchers receive a 35% Explosive Damage increase and a 40% Impact Damage increase. • Wolfpack Rounds receive a 35% Explosive Damage increase.

Keep Away

While no enemies are within 15 meters: Grants 10 Range, 30 Reload Speed, and decreases Accuracy Cone Growth by 5?%.

Buff at maximum strength grants: • 30 Handling • 40% decreased Accuracy Cone Size • 17% decreased Accuracy Cone Growth The buff linearly scales from 0% at 80 Shield HP to 100% at 0 Shield HP (Critical Health). It initially triggers as you drop to 40 Shield HP — giving you 50% of the maximum buff. However, as you regenerate your Shield Health, the buff will still remain until you reach 80 Shield HP where the benefits scale down to zero.
