First order tie fighter strafe question

How is strafe better than the basic? The description says the basic inflicts physical damage and has a chance to hit twice and inflict target lock. Strafe just says it deals physical damage. How is that better? Is it just a matter of the description not accurately describing? Does it do massively more physical damage or something? What am I missing?

Strafe does more damage. According to swgoh.gg, Strafe has a modifier of 3.725 while the basic's modifier is 1.92. That's max level for both. So if the basic does double tap you're at about the same damage you get out of Strafe. Only a 45% chance to attack twice though on the basic.
