Objective Comparison between Lacera and Mios:

- Both do solid damage, neither is a clear winner on raw damage, though you can argue the Lacera's ability to mod for a spingle type of secondary damage (Corrosive, Magnetic, whatever) means it has better damage multipliers against most enemies. Slash damage on Mios is probably better against Infested though.

- Mios has MUCH better crit rate, VERY viable for a berserker build.

- Lacera has 100% (or rather 99% in my UI) status chance with just two mods. With Voltaic Strike and Virulent Scourge it has a 100% status and since the only damage type is Corrosive, then it can only proc Corrosive. So it melts armor with every single hit. On multiple enemies in a wide arc.

So is either weapon really better? No. If you're clearing hordes of enemies under level 35, go with the Mios for speed. If you're trying to pick a weapon to bring to T3 Survival for a while, of these two (I'd pick something else anyway...) then Lacera is the winnder literally just for all that Corrosive damage.

Of course if you have 4CP, then that goes out the window. Coin toss, maybe?
