I heard some of you wanted to compare results...
These are my tests that I did a while ago, done on Master so the fights last quite a while longer.

Gear used were variations of this build; what changed was the armor (Beetle Scalemail for Melee, Spooky for Summoner, Spectre (i think) for mage), and accessories 4-5 were swapped for an offensive accessory for the class or the Amphibian Boots.

The biggest difference between this and Qwerty's tests is that I used Wings/Dashes instead of the Broom, and that I had no minions or Sidearms (Betsy's wrath) with me.
Ok some intersting differences.
First ichor arrows seemed to do better for you whereas holy was better for me, this is probably because I used possed hachet to inflict ichor.
Another difference, your xeno + kaleidiscope test performed quite a bit better than tsunami whereas for me they were about the same, this might be because I actually used the 3 free minion slots on non summon builds. If you don't use minions on your ranged build, but use all your minions on summon builds, then you're effectively giving spooky 3 extra minions. Which I don't think is fair if you want to compare builds.
Another difference is the stake launcher, for me that thing perfomred on par with electrosphere, whereas on your tests it doesn't look impressive.
Also your laser machingun did worse, I did multiple test and laser machine gun out performed razorpine and was comparable to tsunami. Were you letting LMG run out of mana?
Also the gap between crystal and chloro was bigger for you, chloro did overall bbetter for me but that gap shrunk as I got guns with higher base damages, to the point where xenopopper and vortex beater the (3rd and 2nd highest base damage guns) got equal results with sniper preferring crystal.
You probably aren't as good at aiming, or your method of avoiding attacks made it harder to do so, as most homing weapons seem to do relatively better for you. Also... tf are those nightglow times? Is it really that inconsistent? I might need to test it a few more times.
Also your nebula arcanum didn't completely and utterly disintigrate Empress.
