  Nox Perennial V is a high impact fusion rifle, which are rated C-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic being "strongest standout for body and ranged QoL DPS and a big step up over other fusions". The frame intrinsic offers built in Anti-Overload, and a ×0.8 accuracy cone size and ×0.83 accuracy cone growth when ADS and moving slower that 2.8m/s - crouch walking speed - as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are good by comparison with its peers - you can see them at https://destiny.report/w/2366022261/nox-perennial-v and hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/2366022261 will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. The Recoil Direction is vertical but loose, but with only 5 bolts to control, you could look to boost Range with the barrel perk, which helps to a degree with recoil anyway, or to boost your preferred stat. As the battery perk, Accelerated Coils improves charge time by 40ms at the cost of ×0.98 base damage, or Enhanced or Ionized Battery gets you to 7 or the maximum of 8 shots respectively. High-impacts provide the best boss total damage and DPS among fusions. You can overflow the battery with Envious Assassin in the first trait perk column, which overflows the battery to up to ×3 capacity at 10% of mag size per kill with primary weapons and 20% with heavy (12.5%/22.5% when enhanced) before readying, which can preload almost all of your reserves. Otherwise there are reload parks like Loose Change to use with a heavy weapon or ability that applies an elemental debuff, which provides +50 Reload Speed +20 Aim Assist and ×1.2 ADS movement speed, for 9s (10s enhanced). or Threat Detector which procs per enemy within 15m up to ×2 stacks, with two stacks providing +40 Stability, +60 Reload Speed with a ×0.81 animation scalar and +100 Handling (+44, +64 and +100 respectively, enhanced). In the second column, for damage, Controlled Burst reduces charge time to ×0.9 and boosts damage by ×1.2 for 2s (2.5s when enhanced) after a kill or landing all the bolts in a burst. The Wild Card origin trait isn't that useful in a boss fight, providing the chance of Telesto-like "Experimental Submunitions" dropping on a kill - the number depends on the enemy tier - that last up to 10.5s and explode on contact or proximity to an enemy. If you're interested, "Nox Perennial" is a compound phrase derived from Latin, meaning "Everlasting Night" or "Enduring Darkness". Recommended MW: Charge Time, with a Charge Time mod or your preferred choice to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds.
