The Wish weapons are actually really, really good (Season 23)

Got a few more surprises for you guys before the holiday season is out, might cover the Dawning weapons if that's of interest to you guys. Will be live in a few hours btw: twitch.tv/ascendantnomad

One thing to note is that you don't have to land crits to build up precision instrument, just hits. The perk only buffs crit damage, though.

10:22 Just a small note: Vorpal only adds 10% damage on heavy weapons

You've missed thr truly insane secret sauce roll: Under Over Scatter Signal to guaranteed murder void overshield enemies. I'm not trolling

Something important to note with Appentance, destroying a Headstone crystal can proc column 3 perks on enemies the shatter damage hits as long as you do it with the gun, so Demo/Headstone can be a really nice combo for getting a ton of grenade energy fast.

As detailed from Legoleflash, Scatter Signal also is the first fusion with Under Over, which grants a 20% damage buff against Overshields and Woven Mail, and lowers the bolt count from 8 to 9 for a kill (assuming you're running Liquid Coils against Overshields). Very useful against any barricade or Strand Titans. edit: 9 to 8

13:05 One note about precision instrument: I don’t know if it was glitched or not when I tested it with friends, but a divinity bubble completely negates the perk from activating. My guess is that, because you’re not technically hitting the enemy themselves, and it’s coded to activate when you do, it never activates. So you’re only really getting the damage increase from div

I don’t know if you just didn’t like scalar potential, but for me, at least, it’s one of the best feeling pulses I’ve ever used. I think it performs outside of its stats, I don’t know, I’m not really sure how to say that I’m trying to say. I know it feels really really good

Interesting, I got completly opposite opinion about scalar potential. Probably my favourite pulse after BxR.

The pulse is the best arc pulse there has been. Has keep away and headseeker and is wow. Headseeker is phenomenal on it and the trait perk is fantastic.

scatter signal my beloved, riptide can finally rest...

The perk synergies are great to see on weapons that have good designs. Fashion and function.

Supercluster with cascade point is amazing for bursting down majors in higher end activities. Being a special and cascade requiring either kills or just crits, it's EXTREMLY easy to proc at any time with a primary or power weapon, whether it being for bursting majors during ad clear or for boss dps. The other perks it has are available on other slugs, and with Heritage available while also doing 15% more base damage, so with that being the case cascade point is the clear choice. It's the best way to take out higher health yellow bars just due to how fast it puts those shots out, even compared to Heritage with recombination(especially considering it's extremly easy to miss the buffed first shot in the chaos of an arena filled with shooting ads, and therefore flinch), and make for a great alternative and tool worthy of a coveted slot in anyone's vault. And hell, because acendant alloys are(finally) eaisly obtainable why not craft 2 of them?

Overflow on Scatter is actually even better because enhanced makes it overflow a bit more than double, probably more so than you can use in a damage phase.

Slice on Scatter Signal is unique: you lose out on the mag size of Overflow, but halving enemy damage is huge for survivability and team play, especially if you're not using a Strand subclass.

I think the perk permeability is very slept on, scalar potential can become strand using unraveling rounds with golden tricorn & make tangles on kills

You forgot to mention the intrinsic benefit of aggressive pulse linear fusion rifles. If your aim is trash on the initial shot, you can still land a partial amount of damage with the rest of the bolts, whereas if you shoot and miss a single bolt linear, there goes your entire round's worth of damage.

I'm a designer by trade, and these recent white bg thumbnails are extremely appealing.

Finally a season where the seasonal weapons aren't completely irrelevant.

Love your new editing and video style
