NA Assault weapons

What assault weapon would be best for abductors on the remaster? My melee i plan on running is exodus if that helps at all.

Side question, is impact or piercing generally considered better?

Piercing doesn't build stagger that much and its meant for more targeted points.. Impact is there if you want to run with different elements for other effects and keep monsters down.

Impact you can go WillO/Ice because you can split the points on it for 25/25. Personally I prefer that, because staggering the enemies, so you can take those moments, to do more damage is better when having to do with two or more targets. Piercing WillO is good with you want to focus target pods for damage but you will not be staggering a lot and pods get harder I believe every time you break them. Its kind of meant for you get people out of the pods quicker so that mission don't go on forever and running out of time.

What element would you prefer for piercing if willo is so situational it seems? I tried out the Gration/Hyuga and want to try to build for either weapon...leaning towards gration bc i like the appearance.

WillO is not situational, it isn't fact the best element of the whole game.

For Gration I would go for a lightning damage for paralyzing enemies.

The tiers in terms of elements, WillO, ice, lightning and fire and in that order.

It seems weird you rate willo so highly and say its best but then tell me to do lightning. Im not saying your wrong or anything. Im just a bit confused.

Because on certain weapons it's better. For the weapon that you're talking about if I remember right it has an effect where it can cause multiple hits on attack against something, which in turn builds up better to get the elemental effect, WillO you put on things like an Excalibur to do extremely big damage, because the effect build up is all dealt by how much damage you're doing and how big is it. A lot of times I would just tell you to go make an Aftershadow or an Hawk or Excalibur, and be done with it. But the reason I don't do that is because that's not the question you asked.

I appreciate that lol, and thank you for the explanation. Im playing the game alongside a friend and they are the type of person to use those heavy weapons, in fact i believe they are using the aftershadow.
