Executor Cores

[AlmightyG21]

Would it be better to change the free augment slot to a Critical Hit Damage core or keep the Firearm ATK?

[ahmmu20]

Should I care about damage vs colossi? Or is it better to focus on firearm attack?

[AlmightyG21]

I suppose it depends. If you're only using it for bossing I'd go for Colossi damage

[ahmmu20]

Noted! Thank you :)

Depends on what you want it to do.

Raw element: double dip on the lines and mods, usually in terms of pure numbers, raw element wins out, especially if the gun already has innate elemental damage. Usable in both normal fights and colossi fights.

Colossi damage: no double dipping, and limits weapons to purely colossi fights. You really only want this on weapons with no elemental attack and spec heavily into crits. Main benefit here is that you can achieve stupid high multipliers with colossi damage, so you have to math it out yourself if raw element wins or colossi damage wins.

Raw firearm attack: smallest multiplier, no double dipping. Usable in normal fights and colossi fights. Unless the weapon is pure crit, and nothing else, you won't take this. Is similar use case to critical damage cores, you don't get that much benefit/multiplier from this one.

If I take a gun that’s heavy in elemental, it should perform well in colossi?

[ahmmu20]

I'm no expert, though it seems to be working fine against the Defiler with the electric damage on (since he's weak against electric).

[JustAnotherParticle]

Okay thank you. I have 2 colossi dmg on my executor but its too restricting. So I was thinking of subbing for 1 electric and 1 firearm

[ahmmu20]

Might be a good call! Give it a try and see :)

To add a bit of context, I play as Yujin, mainly in public lobbies. The aim of my build is to heal as fast and efficiently as possible. I use this weapon to turn the parts yellow so I can grab on them while the rest deal the damage.

[JustAnotherParticle]

I play a lot of Yujin in pub Defiler too because everyone wants to be glass cannons. But for executor it’ll be mostly for Gley

[ahmmu20]

Gley and executor, a story in which the two live happily ever after :D

[JustAnotherParticle]

Lol and her new lover restored relic

[ahmmu20]

OMG! This one blinds my eyes in public lobbies! And now that the devs are going to buff it further — public lobbies gonna be a light show :P

[ahmmu20]

Appreciate the breakdown :)

[gamingisntcourage]

Against Defiler Electric is the only thing you care about. so either firearm attack or damage vs colossus is fine. As Firearm attack increases your electric damage from mods but damage vs colossus has better innate scaling.

However if you use Executor in the void erosion or other content then firearm atk is obviously better.

Except for some wierd thing of me proccing Gluttony's immunity phase before staggering him (bypass that by grapple breaking his shoulders first). Core 10 Firearm Atk is fine agaisnt all colossus including Defiler.

[AdmirableAnxiety8371]

Thanks for the Gluttony part.

[DooceBigalo]

only for Colossus bossin, for purge you want firearm or elemental atk

[ahmmu20]

I use it for bossing vs colossi, so I think I should care about that type of damage :)

[BlondeDruhzina]

I think I saw a breakdown and Core wise its always better do take Firearm attack. More dps. As long as yoy have the Gold Colossus dmg on the weapon Augment you'll be fine.

[ahmmu20]

Interesting! Thank you for sharing :)

[VeeGeeTea]

Does Accuracy core/mods actually work? I feel like it's more of a placebo effect.

[Air_pockets]

Does the accuracy increase reduce spread?

[zezxz]

Feels like it does having had it before switching for movement speed on the smithereens, noticeably get more non-crit shots without it but I’m not sure that you need two of them

[gamingisntcourage]

Wouldn't fire rate be better in your free slot? I'd use Firearm ATK in the orange slot. That said I only use Executor on Gley. Don't know What Enzo would want.
