When to Pick Each
PICK DOLABRA WHEN
Sustained fire and versatility. 100-round magazine, Strong ARC pen, and secondary fire beam for medium range. Never reload mid-fight.
PICK VULCANO WHEN
Fastest kill in the game. 0.8s TTK with semi-auto fire. Dump and kill before they can react.
DOLABRA STRUGGLES WHEN
Raw burst speed. Can't match the Vulcano's TTK in a straight close-range duel.
VULCANO STRUGGLES WHEN
Range and ammo. Epic rarity, and pellet spread makes it useless past close range. No secondary fire mode.

Choose the Vulcano for rush-and-kill; choose the Dolabra for sustained engagements.
