"Except that it's not all a game of numbers" - How so? I see numbers everywhere. Numbers in the Foundry, numbers in the Arsenal, numbers during combat... This game literally IS a game of numbers.

Speaking of which, " Status is just technically better" No, my entire argument is based off of the technicalities that I calculated. Slash Procs may ignore armour, But the amount of raw damage that this build can push out does enough relative hit points to kill them instantly. Whether it be a Level 115 Corrupted Gunner or a Level 214 Eximus Heavy Gunner

"without Chroma you need one hit to kill a Level 115 Corrupted Gunner." This entire argument is about how Chroma synergises with this weapon, making your argument redundant and out of place.

" and a raw damage build won't even come close to being that strong" Well yes... Without Chroma, Status is better but with him, it is not. As I proved with what I was saying above.

" There's basically two kinds of enemies, one's the enemies that will die in one hit anyway, the other's Grineer Heavies which are best dealt with via status" Hmm.. But you see, the enemies that you mention that'll die within 1 hit, will not die within 1 hit if it is a Status Build. You'll have to wait for the Slash Procs to take effect which will waste time that you could use to kill other enemies.

" which is the exact reason why the Vaykor Hek doesn't scale as well as the Tigris Prime does." The Vaykor Hek doesn't do nearly as much damage as a base damage Tigris Prime. So I'm not sure why you're bringing that up since it does much less burst damage.

In all honesty, if Warframes like Chroma, Nova or Rhino didn't exist, I'd 100% use a status build. But since the Tigris Prime has so much accumulative damage per shot, multiplying it by 522% with a Power Strength Chroma gives a much greater effect than what it'd do with a Status Build. Multiplying a greater number = better.
