@TheSprinter85 Buttered branches: kinda just seems pointless to me.
Mob cobs: diet mob cob where have to put in twice the amount of effort just to get the same results you got in gw2 by just playing the character. Once again how am I suppose to know a corn is carrying this.
Rapid recob: reload upgrades on steroids.
Super spin: soldier's rapid fire upgrade but worse in almost every single way.
20/10: not much to say here really as I don't really like butter beacon that much to begin with.
Recornassaince: reliant on how well you use butter beacon and if you can really utilize it well.
Reaping leap: this ones fine.
Hopscotch: gw2 husk hop returns with delayed explosion effects.
Happy feet: I still don't like this shuck shot also soldier gets to slow down in the air with his zpg so corn better hope he can compete in a game where your enemy will just sprint away when they see you charging.
Cornucopia: vanquishing multiple enemies with Bfn shuck shot? Bwhahahahaha. Atleast thebdamage cool down is here to save this upgrade.
I really just don't what to think about shogun guard as it felt like they heard the complaints about Ben corn say they gave him his legendary first yet compared to every other legendary it's really lacking and sometimes the overall dps isn't worth it.

The Kernel Corn upgrades seem way more balanced overall compared to some of the upgrades that other characters get. For instance, Rapid Recob is great as you can reload almost instantly, although it costs 4 upgrade points and may not have a huge impact on combat in some scenarios. You have upgrades like Cornucopia which can allow you to refresh Shuck Shot more quickly, although it requires you to vanquish multiple enemies or deal damage to multiple enemies at once. I am satisfied with the upgrades that Kernel Corn has and the upgrades seem quite balanced in point cost as well.
I have not really used the Buttered Branches upgrade before until very recently, I tried it out on the Nintendo Switch and I was actually amazed at the speed. Now I have a fast Shogun-Guard. It might not be a super great upgrade, although I find it combos well with Shogun-Guard as it primarily focuses on aiming to make use of your shield and generally longer range combat, which does not actually require your shield to be up (basically not destroyed at any point).
With Happy Feet upgrade, am I wrong or do you actually get the speed boost while your Shuck Shot is travelling through the air? If so, I did not know that! Apparently the Mob Cob upgrade gives you additional effects, such as dealing extra damage if you penetrate enemies and it may increase your ammo size as well, I sort of question this, especially as this upgrade is cheap, but I'm cool with that!
I forgot to say in the original post that I created here, although the reason I mentioned the upgrades after the Shogun-Guard one is because I mention how each of those upgrades combo with the Shogun-Guard upgrade.
