Just wondering which one would be best to put time into and overall which one would be generally "better". 6 less delay on Atlas would make getting to a 6-hit a challenge to say the least but does the STR/ATT make up for that in DoT?

Ive checked out these forums as well as Alla but havent found any recent info on the comparison of these.

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to 6 hit Atlas. If you can Atlas would be a better pick iirc.

If for some reason you can't 6hit Atlas then I would imagine 6 hitting Sumeru will win with enhanced ws frequency.

Atlas delay is nothing to be feared. Ukonvasara has the same delay and can still get to a 5 Hit build.

Out of the 2 options you picked, Atlas would be better. Higher base damage, lower delay increasing DoT and a big chunk of stat boosts to choose from, although STR is usually the common choice.

If you really can't get anything better, go for Atlas, otherwise you should at least get maschu +2 to gain access to Ukko's Fury, higher base damage and a much friendlier Delay.

If you want to get a very good GA and without having to endure ToMs though, go get a widowmaker.
