Boar P. vs Strun W. Boar wins in TTK by a mile, in the other two tests it's a tie. There are two reasons for this: 1- To standardize the test I always used groups, this put Strun W. in a huge disadvantage bc while both needed 5 shots to kill enemies (SW sometimes killed in 4), the longer reload time and lower fire rate of SW really impacted the test, the difference was like 30% of Boar's time. 2- I have the same riven for both shot guns (MS/SC/CC), really good, to reach 100% SC Boar forced me to use three 60/60 mods (corrosive+fire),while Strun allowed me to only use two (just corrosive), and I replaced the third slot with Chilling Reload. The problem with this is that cold sucks once the armor is depleted, while fire performs really well (still, a shorter reload time was more beneficial). In the end it's a simple matter, Boar has better sustained DPS (thou it runs out of ammo all thetime).

I don't have Zenith so I can't test it, but I can predict it wouldn't be much of a competition. The semi-auto mode with a HM build will be very inconsistent when it comes to proc Viral (kinda like Soma) and the full auto mode will lack the crits to boost the slash procs, so the DoT build-up will take a while to ramp up. The big difference with Karak is that its IPS doesn't get as penalized vs armor, so the shots actually deal a considerable damage, and by the time the armor is down, there are more than a few slash procs eating the flesh.

Finally, no, there wasn't any kind of effect that reduced the subject's armor, nor any other kind of buff/debuff.
