Good writeup, but have you tried the Shockfield? I ask because I have a [RED] Shocky and a [RED] Jupiter with slightly different configs. I'm torn between the two for best mobbing gun. FYI, also on Steam/mobile. Both have advantages, but I think I prefer the Shockfield (Deadly/OC/BIo) slightly. The Jupiter scales very strongly with crowds, so it is better against very large groups of Zs than the Shocky, but I do have to maneuver my enemies into position, and it is weaker against groups of fewer than 5 or so than the Shocky.

On Mobile, biosynthesis is +30 HP per projectile, and the Shocky fires 10 projectiles. I've verified that I do get healed for 300 HP per kill. I haven't tried a Jupiter with Biosynth yet, but I expect it would be 30 HP. That said, yes, you can frequently kill an enormous horde of Zs, so it should still replenish HP in a many circumstances.

I know both are mobbing guns, but if you have a group of bosses together, like a group of Necrosis spawns or in the later stages of events, or just a lot of ordinary Zs around the boss, then the Jupiter will do a surprising amount of damage to the bosses. I would obviously not trade out my bossing weapon, but if I am still trying to clear mobs out, I will make sure to aim a few shots in the direction of the boss.

Last, I do have a couple spare Jupiters and Shockfields. I intend to equip a Jupiter with Deadly/OC/Bio and test drive it. For events, bio on the Shocky has really boosted my endurance.
