My Piercing Light build: imgur.com/a/qzMiBus If you need an ammo conversion mod, just swap it out with the elemental mod. You don't have to polarize the last slot Do use the last 2 timestamps to see the screenshot of every damage test done in the video if you're just here to look at the numbers. 11:51 & 12:01 On a side note, I really need to stop saying "so... xxxxx" when explaining stuff
May I make it simple? I would choose.....BOTH :D Anyway. I did maths and tests (300 shots both rifles) and on the long run , Afterglow is better , because of crits on the long run. It sure may frustrate you , when After G is not criting , and cheer you , when piercing will crit for 6.5mils on Colosses....BUT Its a false emotional impression. Piercing is only good if you can boost its crits , like Enzo , Valby and now Hailey.
Test is flawed. You won't come close to that number of shots. A more logical test is 10-15 shots and that's even if you can get that many ammo drops leading up to the commander, elite boss fight. I say test 10 shots and see what the tally is. Too bad I'm more hand canon or I would test it myself.
I would probably make one after the season 1 patch drops where we can use different polarities on different setups. As of now there are too many builds going around with some people saying that you should go for fire dmg due to EL's fire shred etc while another group of people are saying that weakpoint damage is better in place of fire dmg mods as it is a straight up multiplier as long as you hit weakpoints. With the incoming update of different polarities, it makes it possible for me to record and compare clips of using a fire dmg focused EL build vs weakpoint dmg EL build.
Yup. Afterglow is a better gun to use in colossus due to having a much higher crit rate. The only situation where piercing light can outperform afterglow in colossus battles is when it is buffed by Valby/Enzo to make up for its lower crit rate.
@@DylanBufferman well glad i got sfterglow first well as i wasnt choosing amd bosses are about the only midly difficult thing in the game , , , , just doing the upgrade grind atm . . yawn! lolif i wana fall asleep i just farm xp or gold for half hr or do a boringassd i mean special operation yea so special lol
Good summary, except that nobody but maybe Enzo can use a sniper rifle for general mobbing due to lack of ammo. They should have made it so piercing light can pierce through and remove the bubble shields and other damage immunity buffs on certain mobs.
@@808nemec Fr though. Why did you waste time designing shotguns and snipers when nobody uses them due to limiting ammo. I have not seen a single sniper player last entire month seems like. As a matter of fact I have not seen a single shotgun user since the game's released lol.
So just a question if the afterglow is better than light. Then why is there like 30 video's with Hailey smacking all bosses. All tubers talk about light haven't seen any with the glow. They even used a handcannon. Not hating on the vid just trying to understand?
@@lreddick82 Hi there I explained in the video that when you use a character like Enzo/Valby that is able to buff PL’s crit rate, PL > Afterglow. If you’re using a character that cannot buff PL’s crit rate to a decent amount, Afterglow is the better choice. Using Hailey/Valby/Enzo pretty much makes PL’s crit rate close to 100% or 100%. PL has a much higher firearm atk and damage when you crit and using these characters basically solves the issue of the gun lacking crit rate. As you see in the video, PL hits higher numbers when modded similarly.
yes, you’re right. It is better overall to just use Afterglow if you don’t have a crit buff from Valby/Enzo which I suggested in the video in the 2nd last timestamp. Piercing Light would be better if you have Valby/Enzo buff as it makes up for that lower crit rate. UA-cam seems to have a bug where sometimes your comments don’t upload and you have to comment again. Happened to me a few times.

Sorry for being OOT but i see that you have an upgraded Enduring Legacy, are you going to make a video about it?

@@DylanBufferman Ah i see, cool i'll be waiting for that. Thanks man!
So basically afterglow for bossing, kissing light for mobs
Yup. Afterglow is a better gun to use in colossus due to having a much higher crit rate.
The only situation where piercing light can outperform afterglow in colossus battles is when it is buffed by Valby/Enzo to make up for its lower crit rate.

@@kevin9218 oh the heavy ammo needs a drop increase 4 sure specialy in collosus fights no point to em if ya cant shoot em

Which should I use for invasion bosses?

Not sure why my comment was deleted, Youre forgetting that colosi have crit resistance, this makes piercing light feel worse

The only Boss Piercing light is good for is the Executioner to take off his buff.
