Assuming you're talking about armored enemies, yeah, it's quite good, but the Supra also has major quirks that require some adjustment from the player. As mentioned already, you have to get accustomed to the effective range, which is midrange to close range. It also has a brief windup before the fire rate climbs considerably. You'll also need to mod for physical and elemental damage. Leave the crit and status mods for other weapons. The Supra specializes at sending a cloud of hard-hitting puncture damage towards armored enemies. Simple and brutal.

You'll also need to learn to time your sustained bursts of fire and reloads (which are lengthy). Try to get into good position at the right range to hit a boss or crowd with a big, sustained burst and then take cover to simultaneously regain shields and reload. It's probably best used by tanky characters, as there is an advantage to being able to keep that lightshow stream going at mid to close range for a few moments before you take cover, which might be a problem for someone like Nova or Loki. I usually use Saryn or Rhino when I carry it. It would also be great for Frost, slaughtering anything that tried to wander inside his Snow Globe.
