I dont see why a weapon that cant crit would lend itself to being a choice for anti barrier, joining wish ender, arby, and eriana’s. You can one shot a barrier with tons of things when radiant, a GL shot for instance, but dediacated anti barrier weapons are usually precision focused. If you shoot it as or before its putting the barrier up, itll insta pop with arbslest, and sleeper would as well. Dont just wait for it to put it up then charge or else it will regen. Not particularly choosing sleeper because i think its good, but because it isnt, and giving it barrier might make it somewhat worthwhile. But just because something is intrinsic anti champion doesnt make it optimal. Xeno just doesnt make sense for a barrier weapon its most similar to bastion, a punchy thing thats good at one shotting objects, cant hit crits, slow and hard hitting.

Totally agreed on that Radiant bs. Radiant, Volitile Rounds, and Unraveling Rounds shouldn't be our only form of Anti-Barrier. Why not the debuffs themselves of Volitile or Unravel as we can still apply it to the boss and then damaging the shield could detonate it or at least let our weapons shoot through the shield because we basically put a hole in it. What about abilities like Strand Warlock's melee which applies Unravel or using Swarmers to let Threadlings apply it? Why can't we allow them to have built in Anti-Barrier? It feels so limiting thanks to them throwing Champs into the mix back in Shadowkeep. Doesn't help that Anti-Barrier is still glitched and makes projectile weapons worse against things like Phalanxes, Hydra, and Vex Hobgoblins. Their whole reason for doing Anti-Barrier sidearms this season was because of the Rocket Sidearm from the dungeon and yet it becomes worse when you have it active.
