I'm not understanding the whole multiple weapo copy for different uv's. But hey, each to their own.

No, you don't have to bomb. You don't have to anything. But, branching out and getting different gear is a way to not get bored with the game. Try a few bombs and see if you enjoy it.

Start with hazes, fire/shock, get a vortex, pick up a rss.

Bombs are different. Hazes

Bombs are different. Hazes are a drop, cover as much area as possible, then forget. Vortexes, with reduced movespeed, require you to position yourself. Rss is all about getting up close and personal, without shielding. Dark ret seems to be a drop and forget type.

Electron is better, because it shocks at the end and enables enemies to stick together in the end.

I'm not sure why you ask. You are rich enough to obtain vh uv's, good ones, on multiple weapons and multiple copies.

1. I honestly don't know, all bombs are pretty fun to use. I highly recommend RSS personally.

2. Electron has shock, which groups enemies more effectively than Graviton and does extra dmg.

3. No it is not overpriced, because you are obviously rich enough to afford one.

Bombs are safer to use and

Bombs are safer to use and get rid of mobs quicker than other weapon types. They are also visually impressive, both in the pyrotechnics and the damage notifications.

Extra question about point 2

I was under the impression that electon was better, but the wiki is saying that the shadow one has a significantly larger radius... Assuming they have the same suction power and are used only to group as oppose to dealing damage would this not make the graviton better?

Can anyone confifm this info?

Trying

Electron and graviton have

Electron and graviton have the same suction power. The wiki is saying that the 5* has more suction than the 4* even though the bomb radius is the same.
