And it’s Zephyr! Specifically, Funnel Clouds seem to resolve before attenuation is applied. I’ve been successfully oneshotting acolytes with my heavy slam Melee Duplicate Magistar across both rounds.

I haven’t tested if this a property of the blast interaction with tornadoes, or if non-blast heavy slams (which are rare) also nuke enemies before attenuation applies. I also haven’t tested if this is specifically a result of Melee Duplicate shenanigans with tornadoes or if, say, Doughty builds such as the Ruvox would also work.

Zephyr stays winning!

        Next week’s project I guess: Blast/Xata Twin Grakatas. Hell, make it fun, Triple Graks with the Furax Wraith for optimal dakka.

          @sandriver I am in love with my Supra Vandal. I got really cheap riven for 20p and rolled it until I got this high firerate and multishot. I have renemed it to PEW PEW PEW PEW GENERATOR because that is what it is. As long as I have ammo, plasma will rain and it will rain hard.

          Only thing I can think of that suprasses that amount of dakka is really well build Kohm

            At a locked 80 shots a second, the record holder dakka king is Grakata with the Wild Frenzy augment. A gun to try for all dakka enthusiasts.

      Zephyr will never be nerfed, at ~1% play rate she definitionally can’t be disruptive to other players… right? 🥹

          I noticed the infested phase of the Apex also wasn’t susceptible, although phase 1 absolutely is (after armour removal at least). I wonder what causes that!

          Possibly for the 60 eyes Fragmented, it could be the DPS limit being set lower. It also has >2x as much HP as an archon.

          Incidentally, Zephyr does have a neat setup for the 60 frame where Silva & Aegis can easily apply and maintain large heat procs by creating heat tornadoes through slams.

    Been 1hitting archon’s with fragor+xatas whisper and melee animosity for months now, not sure if its skipping attenuation or just enough extra damage “steps” from the tornados.

      If attenuation does get triggered, say by teammates, I notice increasingly decreasing damage per slam. I think Funnel Clouds and blast are just combining to deal a lethal hit which resolves before attenuation is applied.
