Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 151 from 26 August 2025 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2i6uazTPn8rdPCD6amcjSc?si=C-kdbOCvTCqhRYq7M8zYnw) with @ImpetusAlways, @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-MajorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for use against orange and yellow bar enemies in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Lionfish-4fr is the rapid-fire replacement for the Riptide that's probably been gathering dust in your vault. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are good, and that's helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and battery perks are enhanced - d2foundry.gg calculates that Range of 21 translates to 11.58m hipfire and 15.05m ADS before damage drop-off, 33 Stability is ×1.0162 flinch resistance, 53 Handling is 0.42s ready, 0.32s ADS and 0.29s stow speed, 46 Reload Speed is a 2.05s reload (1.64s when empty, with the rapid-fire frame intrinsic), Magazine Size is 7 (max 8) and total ammo is 23. With rapid fire fusion rifles shooting 9 bolts, you might need some help with controlling recoil from the barrel perk, and you can use the battery perk either bump up battery size or help control the recoil with a little extra stability. In the first trait perk column, there are some decent options but it's difficult to look past Reconstruction to refill 25% of the battery every 6s (5.5s when enhanced), overflowing to 200% of capacity. For both burst damage and a backup sustained damage weapon against orange and yellow bar enemies, you can use this overfilled battery with either Controlled Burst for ×1.2 damage and ×0.9 charge time for 2s when landing all the bolts in a shot, or Reservoir Burst for ×1.25 damage and an explosive AoE on a kill with any shot when the battery is full or overflowed - so, wit Reconstruction, the first 9 shots when the battery capacity is the maximum of 8 shots. The Problem Solver Origin Trait is very good for PvE when facing orange and yellow bars - 11 bolts hitting (easy to do with two shots) will proc to exhaust them and reduce damage output to ×0.75 for 5s and grant +50 to Reload Speed and Handling for 10s. Otherwise, Veist Stinger has a 10% chance to refill 25% of your base battery on a hit. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, 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-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-MajorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller)

In the first trait perk column, there are some decent options but it's difficult to look past Reconstruction to refill 25% of the battery every 6s (5.5s when enhanced), overflowing to 200% of capacity. In the second column, Chill Clip is still there as a good add control perk to apply 40 stacks of Stasis slow to the target and enemies in 4m with any shot in the top half of the base battery (so with Reconstruction on a battery capacity of 8, that would be 12 Chill Clip shots) - also excellent for disrupting annoying Overload Champions. The Problem Solver Origin Trait is very good for PvE when facing orange and yellow bars - 11 bolts hitting (easy to do with two shots) will proc to exhaust them and reduce damage output to ×0.75 for 5s and grant +50 to Reload Speed and Handling for 10s.
