Thinking about it more, most successful E-5 hard runs would require at least a crit at some point during the yasen phase because 200 armor is no fun. A chuuha DA setup is doomed to scratch damage and a lucky crit will only average around 70 after armor/ammo mod. A chuuha CI setup with one lucky crit would average around 180 after armor/ammo mod. There's pretty much no hope if your DA setup goes chuuha, but your run will still be in bad shape if your CI setup goes chuuha as well. I'd rather bet on my CLTs staying healthy, but CI better than DA when chuuha is a valid point.
