Which locks down more Halo or Corona?
Eventually I hope to get an Invader. Should I equip 2 Gusts and a Corona or Halo, Gust and Storm?

Halo fires twice as fast but apparently has the same % chance per second of rooting as the corona(as per wiki). The longer firing cycle of the Corona should mean it locks down better than a halo.
In practice that sounds about right to me based solely on my non-scientific observations.

The Halo is amazing at lock downs. No idea about Corona but if it’s twice as good even more deadly. However the larger Glory is nowhere near as good so I assumed lock downs got less effective the larger the weapon.

Corona has terrible lockdown compared to halo.
Speaking from experience

i think certain Bots i.e.(Spec an Newer Bots) have a resistance to Lockdown.
i have a lvl 7 Corona but it seems not to Lock-down as much as a lvl 5 Halo or lvl 5 Shredder,even the Pulsar does better. only Lock-down Weapon i do not have is a Glory which i'am currently working on, but plan on getting 2 Halo's and 1 more Pulsar as i have 5 Shredders already.

One thing I have observed with using a shredder and a corona at separate times is that the first bot I target and shoot at will always get rooted. After that it feels the percentage ate kicks in.
Not sure if anyone has noticed this. My corona is L5 and the shredder is L4. I feel the shredder roots a little more as it's not a horizontal shotgun blast.

Smaller hitbox will likely mean less root chance. |

Halo. I haven't looked at the stats, but in a recent YT video the Halo locked down the target almost 100% of the time. I have a Corona and it's good, but not as good as the Halo (for lock down).

I have both weapons and the halo beats corona hands down, it's not even close. Halo almost always locks down.

I looked at Wiki stats. The difference I reckon is down to ‘accuracy’. The Halo is far more accurate, times that by chance of rooting and there lies the answer.
E.g Glory lvl 7 @ 500m 5% accurate by 31% root chance you’ll hit 3 times every 200 shots at that distance.
Halo lvl 7 @ 500m 21% accurate X 31%. Closer to 7% PER SHoT

Thank you, everybody. I have started production of Halo components.
Only 7,000 more to go. Sigh.
Maybe I'll get some in a Gold Chest.
One good thing about the root weapons: Often you only need one. Equipping two Halos would give me more rooting but less damage than a Halo and a Gust.

Halo appears to be more frequent, therefore expect a nerf courtesy of our favourite developers, rendering it useless and redundant. And the masses rejoiced......

Halo hands down. But, I also fear a nerf coming when Pix finally realizes how OP the Halo is compared to its bigger siblings.
