  Song of Ir Yût is an adaptive LMG, which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis Spreadsheet​, who says "technically a strict downgrade to aggressive damage profile, but barrier intrinsic is noticeable". The frame intrinsic offers built in Anti-Barrier, but no other benefits as per the Destiny Data Compendium. The recoil direction is right but pretty tight so you could improve Recoil Direction or look to boost Stability to help hit crits, or Handling if you can land your shots. In the magazine perk slot, perks that improve Reload Speed are pretty much essential for this roll. For a sustained boss damage roll, in the first trait perk column Rewind Rounds refills 70% of hits landed from reserves when the magazine empties, or Reconstruction refills 25% of the magazine every 5.5s up to ×2 capacity when stowed during add phases or not firing. Alternatively, Demolitionist provides an instant magazine refill on grenade use and chunk grenade ability energy on kills. For damage, Bait and Switch boosts damage by ×1.3 for 11s for doing damage with your other two weapons, or take advantage of the overflowed magazine with Target Lock which stacks up to 5 times on repeated hits within 0.2s of each other for up to ×1.4 damage at 110.33% of base magazine capacity. Aegis ranks the Cursed Thrall origin trait as A-Tier -synergising well with melee builds - killing an enemy with a melee gives you 8.5s to proc a 4.5m radius Cursed Thrall AoE explosion on your next weapon kill. If you're interested, the name is a direct reference to the Deathsong, a lethal Hive melody - a mathematical description of death - composed and sung by the Hive Wizard Ir Yût, the Deathsinger. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds.

In the magazine perk slot, perks that improve Reload Speed are pretty much essential for this roll. For tackling add groups and the occasional tougher enemy, there's a double trait perk damage pairing in Jolting Feedback which applies Arc Jolt after 14 hits (11 when Amplified) to tougher enemies who can survive the weapon damage, triggering chain lightning on further hits for both target and AoE damage, and Master of Arms provides ×1.15 damage for 8s after a kill with any weapon, with a second stack of ×1.25 for 5s on any kills with the first stack active or Sword Logic provides up to ×4 stacks depending on the type of enemy killed - a ×1.15 boost for 6.5s on killing a Minor add, ×1.25 for 8.5s for an Elite, ×1.35 for 11.5s for a Champion or Miniboss, and ×1.5 for 16.5s for a Boss, with all the timers refreshed on further kills.

In the magazine perk slot, perks that improve Reload Speed are pretty much essential for this roll. For a sustained boss damage roll when using an Arc build, in the first trait perk column Supercharged Magazine refills 5% of the magazine every 1.5s while you're Amplified or, after you sprint when Amplified to gain Speed Booster this accelerates to 5% every 0.25s while the buff is active, overflowing the magazine to up to ×2 capacity.
