Corrections: - Lightweight light attacks do the same damage as adaptive light attacks, my own data shows this but I thought otherwise for some reason - Apparently some archetypes of Ergo Sum are buffed differently by Transcendence, I will test soon and leave results here - More options like Telesto aggressive and Polaris vortex will be added soon as well

Someone mentioned some archetypes/frames gain 21%, some 51. Aggressive Vortex and …possibly caster being the higher ones. Maybe not aggressive. Vortex being relatively strong even with ammo consumption considered. Some such.

Hey question! What’s up with the aerial goldtusk combo in the spreadsheet? Is it that its dps is high- yet unreliable(depending on boss)? I remember it being mentioned as no longer good long ago and was just wanting to confirm

Also one other thing- I watched this one sword dps testing video by a content creator named CptZepos and he uses DDT for his testing and comes to conclusion for all legendary swords, the best dps and total dmg involves combos that Involve light and heavy attacks across all frames, but in certain cases and listings it is said “light spam only”, what is best? Light heavy combos (respective to the swords frame) or light only , specifically on legendary swords.

@@north9372 I always thought it was one of those things where when executed could technically produce high results but input and application can be awkward, some bosses don’t cooperate as nice, and the lasagna code can sometimes just not count stuff that should’ve hit even though you did everything right. I’ve often seen it chalked as “complicated” as a choice because chances are you’re better off just going with a “normal sword” attack cadence because there’s just not really a ton of situations physically in the game where you really need to overthink a sword, let alone something that shines from a particular attack input.

I know that this was hell for you to grind, but if there was ANYTHING in TFS that we needed rigorous testing on, it was Ergo Sum. There's just too many combinations to get straight answers on "what is best" for players that only have access to like a handful of rolls each. So your sacrifice is much much appreciated here

I personally like the Colony + Aggressive or Riskrunner + Lightweight combo, but I've been using it in light content like Overthrow, Standard Breach Executable, Advanced Nightfall, Strikes, Gambit, etc rather than actual boss damage.

It's not, add the 5% dmg boost from trancendance to the others swords and they'll beat Ergo... barely. With really hard to activate perks for dps (surrounded) it's mostly semantics, but Ergo is not the highest dps sword

No clue if this is relevant but I'm pretty sure the new arc hunter aspect counts as sword damage. It inherits the perks that you have on your equipped swords while you're holding them. If you have demo on your sword it will give grenade energy back if you kill enemies with the spin. It inherits chain reaction from swords. It grants a stack to whirlwind blade on hit. It inherits Ergo Sum's stormbringer and insectoid robot grenades. If you're holding a sword and spin it will work for bait and switch. It doesn't spawn wolfpack rounds though.

Wait what

You are Invaluable to the destiny community man, I thank you for all the time you spent testing everything and crunching numbers

Something I found during my own testing is that Song of Flame allows a Perfect Fifth ignition on every heavy due to the innate scorch stacks on Solar hits. This lets you effectively have Ember of Ashes while Transcendant. Might be something worth testing in terms of overall DPS with it.

watching this video going through the 10 ergo sums i have. hearing you say the 2 best swords at the end of the video and having those exact same rolls maade me insanely relieved. thank you aegis for another insightful video!

Hey, I was waiting for you to talk about Ergo Sum but I wasn't expecting a full 28min video about it. Can't wait to finish this one.

When I found out Perfect Fifth procs with multihits I was expecting caster or vortex frames to be on top immediately, caster's ammo efficiency and being able to proc it from a significant distance gives it a good bit of flexibility over other frames as well.

Awesome testing, thanks a ton. I knew my caster polaris felt strong, its great to see the numbers. I will vouch for traveler's chosen though! With volatile rounds on grenade kill & lucent blade stacking, it's super easy to hit 10 stacks, swap to refill your grenade, and repeat. Very powerful ad clear choice that rivals pre-nerf chain reaction forbearance. Obviously, ad clear is a dime a dozen, but if you wanted to use this thing specifically *for* ad clear, its a great choice!

My only hope is the slight rollback of the particular relative damage changes are the last thing they change with these. I don't envy your efforts to re-test everything, with both the activity changes AND the entire sandbox (except rockets) getting combatant modifier changes at the same time.

Thank you Aegis
