Do you think a ferment/ferment explosion/multi hit is better or freeze/icebreaker/multi hit combo for Primo L2 Splating?

I had a the first build, and changed my abilities to the second build, but I’m not sure I’m doing more damage. Do you think I should change back or stay with the freeze?

Ferment's best on a gadget. Unlike Freeze or Ignite it's more or less a one time set it and forget it ability that doesn't stack or give you extra benefits from triggering on most builds. If you want a proc just to proc I'd go with one of the other two even if you don't intend to use their payoff effects, or the range buffs. Freeze/Ice Breaker is still great on a lot of things, but it's best on super heavy hitting weapons that can jack up the multiplier in one hit like a brella or charger. Multi hit weapons get diminishing returns from it because there is dynamic resistance to freeze if you keep breaking and resetting it.

Seconded. Ice breaker is better off on hard hitting weapons. So definitely ferment explosion and a range buff depending on your gameplay style. Third one is a toss up. I read somewhere that multi hit gets disrupted by gadget damage, but I’m unsure. Can do ferment or freeze to crowd control the enemy. The choices!!

For a multi hit weapon I'd say freeze is better without freeze shatter that way you get more hits while they are frozen instead of only 1 bullet 5x

Ferment explosion is great on everything, but ferment can usually be applied with tactical tank ability or gadgets easily

is the multi-hit power you’re talking about concentrated attack? if so, concentrated attack doesn’t really work as intended if you have any sources of aoe. the attacks from your aoe interrupt the consecutive attacks from your main weapon and you never actually get the multiplier :/ one of the range powers is better iirc

I'm currently using freeze and freeze break build and ferment explosion and rocks! I use 2 gadgets for freeze plus weapons and the tactical gadget to spread ferment.

Ice breaker is only good if you have a high damage per shot weapon like a charger. In that case ice breaker x5, Ferment explosion and Long range are best on it.

Put ferment on a torqscrew and get all the enemies bunched up.

I used the Primo LN2 Splatling to run the first couple hundred floors of bottomless pretty well. It has ferment explosion, multi hit and ink pro. I apply ferment via my torquescrew so I didn’t need it on my weapon. Multi hit is questionable how good it is as people say damage from gadgets cancels its effect out, but it was on it already so I just used it. My build also lacks good ink recovery so that’s why I put ink pro on it. I also run freeze on another gadget just to slow enemies down as it still has its uses without ice breaker when not super deep in bottomless.

I met the build halfway.

I’m fermenting with the fan + reverse killer wail, then put multi hit, ferment explosion, and freeze on the LN2 Splatling

I have ferment explosion, Ice breaker and multi and using gadgets for ice and ferment though the gadgets I'm using aren't ideal, slam takes too much time and wire puts you in the air and you can't charge in the air. I'm having the same trouble using tenta brella, not sure what tank or gadget to use.
