Talk:Kuva Ayanga/@comment-132.205.236.35-20191211193641

Finaly got one after buying it for cheap.

After a certain time spent in the simulacrum i was actually surprised to see the Grattler do more damage in the end. I tested both weapons with the exact same build and overall the Grattler is killing the same enemies under the same conditions using an average of 10% less ammo than the Ayanga. Normally that wouldnt be a problem but the heavy ammo type can be capricious and i managed to dry a few times in long missions, in those cases the extra you get will make a difference in the long run.

The Ayanga does more damage per shot so it is better for the trash mobs but the Grattler is more damage out of the box and a very fast firing speed will do a better job when aimed at tougher targets.

I would expect the Ayanga to be superior if your are lucking on the bonus % damage from the Lich but this is bound to RnG so i wouldnt not count on it.

These weapons are like Porches and Lamborghini around the Nurnberg ring: The Ayanga is perfectly tuned for the job while the Grattler is faster (hits harder) it will try to kill in the process.

So now after my time in the Simulacrum i can only qualify these two weapons as side grades instead of the Ayanga being a pure upgrade to the older weapon.

The choice really depends upon the better performance or the better quality of life variant even if both are very close of each other.

I would still say Grattler wins on the cool factor however.
