pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Hollow Words was one of my favorite fusions for the looks alone. It felt cool back when our weapons didn't dip too deeply into the machabe (~~mechabre~~) or outer worldly. Rolling Storm gives you the easiest way to build Bolt Charges outside of subclass verbs. If you're amplified it halves the necessary requirements for getting to the maximum charges. Then you can unleash a thunderbolt on your next ability. Feeding Frenzy or Lead From Gold will depend on what you decide to pair with Hollow Words in order to maximize reloads or ammo." Recommended MW: Charge Time.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Precision frame fusions have had an easier time in PvP due to their innate accuracy and easy recoil. Steady Hands provides 100 handling and 0.825x animation scalar after a kill on all your weapons. Slickdraw gives you the same handling amount but a lower percentage (0.95x), but it's all the time. If you plan on hoarding ammo and unleashing the beast then you should go for Steady Hands and Successful Warm-Up." Recommended MW: Range or Charge Time.
