is Darci viable this season?

[formal cedar]

I seen a YouTuber make a valid video saying Darci could be the next biggest dps wepon. I’m not on rn so I can’t see but what’s yall thoughts.

[fallow flume]

Don’t trust everything you see on the internet

[naive dove]

Anyone running Darci in a raid is getting booted or I am leaving

It’s not just bad you trolling if you use it

Even thinking about it is more time than that gun deserves

[hollow dirge]

who tf was that youtuber

[zenith meteor]

Nowhere close to highest dps, but it will get the job done in most normal mode content. It has somewhat decent precision dps with the new artifact mod, and it also jolts.

[summer canopy]

yeah but there is a million better options where you dont have to settle for "somewhat decent" and instead can do good or very good damage

[naive dove]

I would not even give it somewhat decent ngl

[spring hound]

just take whisper or still hunt instead better dps easy to get

[hollow dirge]

or levibreath or even microcosm there are so many burger dps weapons rn that are better than darci

[zenith meteor]

According to aegis's dps spreadsheet it has 5% lesser sustained dps than leviathans breath. Of course theres better options but the question was about whether darci is viable or not.

And Id say with the sniper artifact mod its fine to use in 90% of content.

[wraith vale]

Just take any solar sniper doesn't matter which one and it'll do better than darci

[formal cedar]

Dam I was lied to

[naive dove]

and levi breath sucks so what does that tell us

[spring hound]

its fine to use against red bars

in normal diff

[lilac hazel]

Short answer, no. It's not good and will also not be good. There's tons of better options

[full moss]

It actually has competitive simulated dps to alot of other easy dps options like whisper or leviathans breath

Granted this is assuming perfect timings, rain of fire, and 100% target acquired uptime, but assuming all of those things it does do close to 200k dps and 3,410,245 total

[full moss]

Darci has like 40k more simulated dps than microcosm and thats with factoring in cenotaph mask and damage buff after super

[naive dove]

ye but people only use micro due to it being easy to dodge while using not because it does competative dps

[full moss]

Same can be done with alot of other easy dps options that do better damage, including darci
The only thing darci lacks slightly is total damage

[naive dove]

i mean if its dps is mid and its total dmg is mid thats just bad dps is the prioty you can get away with Darci but there is 0 reason to like ever

and its the artifact mod that is making it like that so once that goes its unsable again

[full moss]

Its dps is literally higher than tlord microcosm cloudstrike 1k gally and even whisper assuming optimal execution

[naive dove]

you just listed 4 none dps guns and a special weapon...

[full moss]

You listed microcosm as being more viable than Darci yourself... And i listed options that are commonly used against witness as easy dos options

[naive dove]

nah i just said micros dmg sucked people use it cause its easy

[rotund lava]

his name is toxic no way he isn't capping for fun

[formal cedar]

What’s wrong with easy dmg lol

[summer canopy]

the easier the worse it is usually, but since the game itself is super easy you dont really need to optimize for damage ever anyways

[sharp totem]

whisper still better lol and also will ignite bosses every solar sniper hit

[formal cedar]

I gotta start using whiskey more often

Whisper*

same bro, same
