At max rank

Unmatched

Vazarin match

Max drain 12 unmatched / 6 matched Vazarin — cheaper than Serration when polarity-matched, but it needs a D polarity.

Arbitration Honors vendor (Galvanized mods) — not a standard mission drop.

Slot when Viral / Heat / Corrosive setups already paint targets — the on-kill stacks do real work.
Weaker as a cold-open damage mod on pure crit rifles with low status.
Often pairs with Galvanized Chamber rather than fighting it for the same role.

Same damage-slot conversation — pick the peer when the condition fits.

Serration

+90% Damage

The gun is crit-first or cannot keep status types stacked on targets.

Heavy Caliber

+165% Damage · -55% Accuracy

You want flat damage and accuracy is already a non-issue.

Status Damage

Galvanized stacks reset between missions — plan for ramp-up, not peak damage from spawn.
