Definetly.

Damage is additive to serration anyway, so the bonuses are always small than they appear.

as for yours, crit chance allows you to get consistent crits, making use of the rubico's INSANE multi, and your crit damage ramps that up even more. Punch allows you to nail through crowds and ramp up the combo counter.

''6 forma build. 27k avg base damage, double for headshots. 1.9 sec reload, 5 round mag size, 2.2m punchthrough, low 9% status chance. ''

If you need MOAR damage (not like the currend build wipes sorties or anything..), or simpily dont have a problem with the default reload speed, substitute harkonar scope for primed fast hands to make the combo counter viable.

One thing to notice is that rubico will deal more damage as you shoot as long as you dont miss due to the sniper combo counter, IE

100% (base damage) on first round                     27K  avg               (54k for headshots)

150% on second and third                                    40K avg               (80k for headshots)

200% on fourth to ninth,                                        54K avg               (108k for headshots)

250% on ninth to 27th                                           68k avg               (136k for headshots)

ETC.

this combo will scale faster with multishot, so using split chamber prettty much halves those values, meaning a your dealing double damage after 1 magazine. Punchthrough will also ramp it up faster, 1 bullet could put you to 200% if you hit 5 people.

This combo will fall right back to base damage after 2.5 sec of not hitting a target. (firing from the hip will also reset it)

notice that your reload time unmodded is 3 sec.

many people use primes fast hands to allow them to continue the counter and for QoL, but the harkonar scope mod if far better for combo purposes, as it adds 12 sec to the timer.

main issues with this rifle for you will be reload time and the high base zoom (5x).

the first is helped by fast hands, but the second requires a riven with -zoom.

overall this rifle will alow you to wipe heavy units of the face of the earth (bursa spawn = bullet jump up so its shields are not in the way, and shoot once), and will go well with a pair of fairly fast-firing versatile secondaries. (i use Aklex prime, but most secondaries can do the job well)

also, firing through a volt shield will multiply your damage by 150% if non-crit, and 300% if you crit.

finally i finish with the best aspect of this gun... It sounds AWESOME.
