Flux has better damage output against every target comapred to the ignis.

The ignis' only advantage over the flux rifle is its "AoE" cone affect of being able to hit multiple targets over a spread and having innate target puncture without needing puncture mods. This advantage is incredibly situational.

Of course, there's also the fact that you can build the ignis sooner (mastery rank 4) and for relatively cheaper ( only two detonate injectors compared to copious amount of prereq research and more fieldron pieces for the flux rifle).
