Her Revenge

Swaye here with another video. We are getting closer on reviewing all the Challenge of Elders weapons, if you missed some videos do have a look at my channel where you can find the reviews of all the Challenge of Elders weapons so far. Today we are going to talk about the Challenge of Elders Hand Cannon the Her Revenge!
I will give you an overview of my roll on the Her Revenge, afterwards we are going to compare this gun with other hand cannons in the game and I will give you my recommendations on the perks that you want for this Hand cannon. Lastly I will give you my final thoughts on this gun.

As with all the Challenge of Elders guns you can obtain Her Revenge by playing the Challenge of Elders activity and Variks may reward you with this Hand Cannon.

My Her Revenge comes with the following perks:
QuickDraw IS
SureSight IS
Relentless Tracker
Hand Loaded
Reinforced Barrel
Feather Mag
Life Support

This is a decent roll, I would prefer to have Range Finder instead of relentless tracker so I can be more lethal on longer ranges. Hand Loaded is great so I wont need to sacrifice any stat for that range bump and life support is also a good perk as you will probably be going against autorifles and take damage while you are in a fire fight and Life support can help you recover quicker.

This gun falls into the mid impact hand cannons archetype together with the Eyasluna, Imago Loop and the Iron Banner Finnala’s Peril. The strength of the Her Revenge is the high Aim Assist of 75 , the stability is in the middle of the pack, and the Range and Reload time are what makes this particular gun weak when you compare this with other guns in the same archetype..
Cosmetically speaking this is the only one that can benefit from the Chroma Glow, so if you want to look good in crucible you might want to consider the Her Revenge over the other hand cannons.
For the Fatebringer enthusiast this gun can not be rolled with Firefly, so for your Fatebringer replacement you will be looking for the Imago Loop, the Vanity from Future War Cult, Aces of Spades, or the less popular guns like Uffern HC4 or Down and Doubt which can all be rolled with Firefly. But obviously you should get the Imago Loop with at least FireFly that is in my opinion the only year 2 fatebringer replacement.

So what are the perks you will be looking for? I recommend to improve the weaknesses of the gun which is range. Luckily you have a lot of options to improve range, you can do this with Rangefinder, Rifled Barrel, Hand Loaded, hammer forged, reinforced barrel or smallbore. Outlaw and Spray and Play will help out with the poor reload speed, or you can use any hand cannon reload gauntless to improve that.
I already mentioned the benefit of Life Support, as you will be fighting with other medium to short range weapons like autorifles or pulse rifles and life support can help you recover quicker from a kill.
You can also focus on improving the strength of this gun which is the Aim Assist, by looking for  hidden hand to bump that Aim Assist value up even more.

So how does the gun feel. Well the gun feels very good, it does lack in range but if you keep the engagement on Medium range you will notice that this gun can be very effective. But as with any hand cannon you will need to be accurate with your shots otherwise you will significantly increase the time to kill. So if you are a patient and accurate player .. this might be the gun for you.
Personally any of the mentioned hand cannons in the same archetype are all viable options, the stats might be differ a bit , but its really the perks that makes or breaks a gun and the same is true for these hand cannons. If you like this mid impact archetype then let the perk rolls guide your choice, I personally prefer to use my Finalla’s Peril with Range Finder , reinforced barrel and grenadier. This is my favorite hand cannon because it feels consistent and snappy, check out my review on the Finnala’s peril, I will put a link in the description and I will add an info card on the right corner that should pop up now.
Again if you get one dropped look at the perks, and try it out if you have decent perks.

Those are my honest thoughts of the gun, let me know what you think … do you agree or disagree with me, put it in the comments below and lets have good discussion.
I hope you enjoyed this video.   Thanks for Watching, subscribe if you havent done so yet to stay up to date on my latest video and as always I will see you later Guardians.
