Inspired by @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Intercalary's frame intrinsic doesn't offer any specific benefit other than just being "well-rounded". The stats are good by comparison with its peers, and they're helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/2725426834 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. From @mossy_max's spreadsheet (https://destiny2.science/reserves), base mag size is 42 (max 60). The Recoil Direction is a bit wonky, so use the barrel perk to try and control that a little. You have the full range of combat effect magazine perks to choose from, or look for one that helps with reload. For a general purpose roll, in the first trait perk column, Rewind Rounds refills 60% of hits landed (70% when enhanced) from reserves. For damage, this pairs really well with Onslaught which, as you ramp up to the maximum 3 stacks, increases raw DPS for a refreshable 4.5s per kill (5s when enhanced), by increasing RPM from 600 to around 952.38. Alternatively One For All boosts damage by ×1.35 for a non-refreshable 10s (11s when enhanced) after hitting three separate targets within 3s of each or Target Lock stacks up to 5 times on repeated hits within 0.2s of each other for up to ×1.4 damage at 110.33% of base magazine capacity - so works best on overflowed or auto-refilled magazines. The Frame of Reference Origin Trait stacks up to ×5 times on kills, providing up to ×1.07 damage and boosts to Reload Speed and Range for 8s, with the timer pausing when the weapon's stowed. If you're interested, "Intercalary" refers to a day inserted in a calendar year to bring it in line with the solar year, so 29th February is an intercalary day in leap years. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod/enhanced mod to boost mag size, weapon stats, ammo regeneration, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

Inspired by @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly with a Stasis build. Intercalary's frame intrinsic doesn't offer any specific benefit other than just being "well-rounded". The stats are good by comparison with its peers, and they're helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/2725426834 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. From @mossy_max's spreadsheet (https://destiny2.science/reserves), base mag size is 42 (max 60). The Recoil Direction is a bit wonky, so use the barrel perk to try and control that a little. You have the full range of combat effect magazine perks to choose from, or look for one that helps with reload. For something to synergise with a Stasis build, in the first trait perk column Headstone generates a Stasis crystal on a crit kill, which can be shattered for AoE damage and to proc stasis ability effects. You can then pair this with Rimestealer to generate a stack (2 stacks when enhanced) of Frost Armor on shattering a Stasis crystal or killing a frozen enemy. Alternatively, as the damage from a crystal shatter inherits any weapon damage modifier, One For All boosts damage by ×1.35 for a non-refreshable 10s (11s when enhanced) after hitting three separate targets within 3s of each. The Frame of Reference Origin Trait stacks up to ×5 times on kills, providing up to ×1.07 damage and boosts to Reload Speed and Range for 8s, with the timer pausing when the weapon's stowed.
