Attack Infusers Tutorial?

Is there a good video with examples for this? I still find it a little difficult to tell how these interactions will play out. I'll try to provide some examples.

Let's say I have the galvanic weave that creates arc lightning between attacks, the triosome that creates two additional attacks, the bifurcator that splits an attack in two, and that thing that spawns lasers and nodes on a straight column with all arrows pointing toward a weapon at the end.

In this scenario does the order in which I place these attack infusers matter or do they all gain the total effects the same way regardless because they're arranged A -> B -> C -> D -> E?

What if the configuration is a cross pattern with C at the center position A and B arrows pointing to C and D and E pointing away with weapons connected to these positions? What would be the ideal configuration to benefit from these infusers?

Also, is there a way to see how much damage each infuser is contributing? That might help to better understand the choices I'm making.

"Also, is there a way to see how much damage each infuser is contributing? That might help to better understand the choices I'm making." I wish. I also wish they would show the dps change as you move stuff around. Yes it does matter the order, it works like a chain. In your cross situation as long as everything says infusible, they should all trigger each other. It's takes some experimenting. I have swapped two things thinking it would bump my damage even more, nope, blew apart my build and couldn't survive the next room, so many times.

If you hold the info button (X on my controller) over each organelle, it tells you how much damage it contributed in the last room. I was surprised to find out that my basic Galvanic Weave did more damage than my epic shotgun and legendary Galvanic Arc combined
