Adamsdown_Boy written as at v9.5.6 (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-GroupAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for controlling groups of Minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Keraunios is an adaptive trace rifle, which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic being useful for shooting objectives and keeping special, with a decent add clearing score as well. The frame intrinsic doesn't offer any benefits beyond well-rounded stats as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. It's difficult to make direct comparisons with the D2Foundary website down but hopefully when it's back https://d2foundry.gg/w/2386208942 will show how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. The Recoil Direction is a perfect 100, so on Controller look for Stability to help keep hitting crits with the barrel perk, and on M+KB maybe boost Handling. For the battery perk, you can look to boosts stats further or improve the battery's capacity. For end-game add group clearing, passive refill or overflow perks such as Rewind Rounds, Fourth Time's the Charm or Overflow help extend firing time. If you're running an Arc subclass and can become Amplified or generate Bolt Charge, there's also Supercharged Magazine or Trickle Charge. To pair with that in the second column, Detonator Beam procs an 8m AoE arc explosion after 25 hits (20 when enhanced) or Butterfly procs after 1.5s ADSing to generate a 4.5m arc explosion on a kill - both count as weapon damage so can inherit weapon damage buffs. The Classy Contender origin trait provides 5% (6% enhanced) Class ability energy on kills, which is useful if not game-changing. If you're interested,the name is derived from the ancient Greek word "κεραυνός" - a lightning bolt or thunderbolt. Recommended MW: Stability or Handling, with your preferred choice of mod to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.|tags:PvE PvE-Minor PvE-GroupAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

For the battery perk, you can look to boosts stats further or improve the battery's capacity. For end-game add clearing, in the second trait perk column Killing Tally gains a stack for each enemy killed up to ×3 to boost damage by up to ×1.3 until you reload or stow. To pair in the first column Overflow, which refills the magazine and boosts its capacity to ×2 of base (×2.2 when enhanced), rounded up, on picking up an ammo brick, is probably the best choice to avoid reloading to maintain the damage buff, but Fourth Time's the Charm or Rewind Rounds are also good to extend shooting time. If you're running an Arc subclass and can become Amplified or generate Bolt Charge, there's also Supercharged Magazine or Trickle Charge. The Classy Contender origin trait provides 5% (6% enhanced) Class ability energy on kills, which is useful if not game-changing.

Keraunios is an adaptive trace rifle, which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic being useful for shooting objectives and keeping special, with a decent add clearing score as well.

For the battery perk, you can look to boosts stats further or improve the battery's capacity. For arc synergy, in the first column Supercharged Magazine refills 5% of the magazine every 1.5s while you're Amplified or, after you sprint when Amplified to gain Speed Booster this accelerates to 5% every 0.25s while the buff is active, overflowing the magazine to up to ×2 capacity. Alternatively, Trickle Charge refills 10% of the magazine on receiving a stack of Arc Bolt Charge, and 20% when you discharge with a lightning bolt on a target. Otherwise, Rewind Rounds, Fourth Time's the Charm or Overflow can all work. In the second column Jolting Feedback applies Arc Jolt after 17 hits (16 when enhanced and 13 when amplified) to tougher enemies who can survive the weapon damage, triggering chain lightning on further hits for both target and AoE damage. The Classy Contender origin trait provides 5% (6% enhanced) Class ability energy on kills, which is useful if not game-changing.

Adamsdown_Boy written as at v9.5.6 (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-SustainedDamage PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for sustained boss DPS in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Keraunios is an adaptive trace rifle, which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic being useful for shooting objectives and keeping special, with a decent add clearing score as well. The frame intrinsic doesn't offer any benefits beyond well-rounded stats as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium.

The Recoil Direction is a perfect 100, so on Controller look for Stability to help keep hitting crits with the barrel perk, and on M+KB maybe boost Handling. For the battery perk, you can look to improve the battery's capacity. For sustained boss DPS, Fourth Time's the Charm generates 2 shots from thin air after 4 crits within 2s (3s when enhanced) of each other, so is top choice. The other refill perks can work - Rewind Rounds will delay reloading or, if you have time to set up, Overflow provides for a double capacity battery before you start. If you're running an Arc subclass and can become Amplified or generate Bolt Charge, there's also Supercharged Magazine or Trickle Charge. For damage, 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 those overflowed or auto-refilled magazines. The Classy Contender origin trait provides 5% (6% enhanced) Class ability energy on kills, which is useful if not game-changing. If you're interested,the name is derived from the ancient Greek word "κεραυνός" - a lightning bolt or thunderbolt.

For the battery perk, you can look to boosts stats further or improve the battery's capacity. For end-game utility, with the big battery trace rifles are a good option for Shoot to Loot in the first trait perk column, which lets you pick up remote ammo bricks or orbs from safety by shooting them, which also reloads all your weapons from reserves.
