The question is prompted by discussion within my alliance. Basically, I always believed the best thing to upgrade with ore / blueprints was the strongest attackers guns - eg my Kim has a gun which is about to get its fourth “bubble”. My Stetmann has a two bubble gun.

However, the overall gear “power” (at about 2.7M) is often lower than those who have put in a similar amount of ore, but more spread out (e.g more defensive items upgraded further).

Am I right in thinking that the DPS difference of bubbling guns remains king?

Also, what would you prioritise for UR gear upgrades with the below? Note - I will be transitioning (eventually…) from a tank to air first squad, so all UR shards and skill medals are going to air.

• Kim - 4 bubble gun, 1 bubble chip, 40 radar, 20 armour
• Stet - 2 bubble gun, 1 bubble chip, 40 radar, 20 armour
• Williams - 20 gun, 20 chip, 40 radar, 20 armour
• Murphy - 20 gun, 20 chip, 40 radar, 20 armour
• Marshall - 30 gun, 30 chip, 40 radar, 20 armour

I assume the next priority (aside from a 3rd bubble for Stet’s gun) should be upping Williams and Murphy’s armour? Or should I prioritise Marshall’s gun and chip to 40; especially considering that will become Morrison’s gear? (with DVA getting the strongest gun, and Schuyler second strongest)
