Do note that as the synoid is a continuous weapon the status procs occur per second rather than per unit of ammo consumed, so beam weapons/flamethrows in general are not as good for status as something that is single shot. The vaykor will proc more often because of the higher status chance, and you can get it over 100% (with multishot) if you have 3-4 event mods. The synoid will beat the vaykor in terms of pure damage, but it has a limited range of 25m. It really comes down to your playstyle really, don't pick the boring laser pointer of doom simply because you can kill faster with it. (The energy effect only restores 25% of BASE energy, so flow or primed flow won't affect it)
