Mistral Lift god roll & best perks

Constructed by @Adamsdown_Boy (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-SustainedDamage PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): Backup PvE roll for sustained DPS against a single yellow-bar target in activities rated Normal, Hard or Very Hard difficulty. Mistral Lift is an adaptive burst linear fusion rifle, which are rated D-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic being "worse DPS than even upper-middle special weapons and no access to ammo return perks". The frame intrinsic offers built in Anti-Barrier, fires a 3-round burst as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are low by comparison with its peers - you can see them at https://destiny.report/w/270610849/mistral-lift and hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/270610849 will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. The recoil direction is slightly right and reasonably tight so you could improve recoil control or just look to boost Stability to help hit crits, or Handling if you can land your shots. As the battery perk, Accelerated Coils improves charge time by 40ms at the cost of ×0.98 base damage, or Enhanced Battery with a Backup Mag mod or Ionized Battery gets you the maximum of 7 shots. To be honest, adaptive burst LFRs are a weak subfamily for boss damage but, if you insist, in the first trait perk column, Overflow refills the battery and boosts its capacity to ×2 of base (×2.2 when enhanced), rounded up, on picking up an ammo brick, or Reconstruction refills 25% of the battery every 6s (5.5s enhanced) up to ×2 capacity when stowed or not firing. For damage, in the second column Reservoir Burst provides a ×1.3 (×1.33 enhanced) damage boost when the battery is at or above maximum base capacity and triggers an AoE explosion on a kill, as well as passively granting +30 to Battery Capacity - the equivalent of a Backup Mag mod. Alternatively, Precision Instrument grants up to ×6 stacks of escalating damage on repeated crit hits up to a max ×1.25 (×1.3 enhanced) for 1.25s or until you miss a crit. The Veist Stinger is the best choice of origin trait for a boss damage roll, providing a 10% chance per hit to refill 25% of the battery, or Dawning Surprise has a hidden counter - 6 red bar kills (5 enhanced) or 2 orange/yellow bars will fill this to generate a pickup which lasts 10s that grants 10% energy to melee, grenade and super, +22 HP and start regeneration, so is less useful here. If you're interested, a mistral is a strong, cold, north-westerly wind that blows through France into the Mediterranean. Recommended MW: Charge Time, with a Backup Mag or Charge Time mod, or your preferred choice to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds.|tags:PvE PvE-Boss PvE-SustainedDamage PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

Constructed by @Adamsdown_Boy (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-Utility PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice niche PvE utility roll for maintaining Weaken in a fireteam for sustained DPS against a single yellow-bar target in activities rated Normal, Hard or Very Hard difficulty.

To be honest, adaptive burst LFRs are a weak subfamily for boss damage but, if you need to maintain Void Weaken from, say a Deadfall Shadowshot, then Withering Gaze in the first trait perk slot can apply the Void Weaken debuff to targets after ADS-ing for 1.4s (1.3s enhanced) for ×1.15 damage for a refreshable 6s for your fireteam, but if the stronger ×1.3 weaken has been applied from Tractor Cannon or Shadowshot, a proc will reapply at the higher value, while in the second column, Rewind Rounds refills 60% of hits landed (70% when enhanced) from reserves when the battery empties. You can contribute to damage with special weapon in between shots. The Veist Stinger is the best choice of origin trait for a boss damage roll, providing a 10% chance per hit to refill 25% of the battery, or Dawning Surprise has a hidden counter - 6 red bar kills (5 enhanced) or 2 orange/yellow bars will fill this to generate a pickup which lasts 10s that grants 10% energy to melee, grenade and super, +22 HP and start regeneration, so is less useful here.

SpaceMonkey (PvE): "LFRs are pretty terrible right now, but if they were to come back into meta this is a legitimate contender with Scintillation as the most viable option. The utility potential of having withering gaze in the first column paired with a damage perk is honestly pretty intriguing." Recommended MW: Charge Time, Reload, Handling.
