AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Nexus E4 gives you three blade patterns and easier loading in a lighter package, while the True Catalyst locks you into one NHL pattern but delivers pure mid-kick power from a pro-spec build. Both cost the same, so this is really about whether you want options and forgiveness or a single, stiffer weapon.
