because with the number of multi-hits both the Cannon and Shotgun mode create, Crits easily outdamage extra Elementals on average. not quite as reliable but significantly higher Damage on average. the multi-hits average out the Crit Chance very nicely.

you can opt away from using Crits, if you don't like some of your Shots dealing less Damage sometimes - but Crits are objectively the most powerful Loadout.

and FYI Crits are per Projectile on Shotguns.
