What's A Maxed Pod B Like? - NieR: Automata

Why didn't I max out Pod B waaaaay back in Route B??? Well, hindsight 20/20. From now on I'm maxing out Pod B before any others, though it does kinda make the others obsolete. It doesn't have homing missiles as its main fire like Pod C, or infinite range on its main fire like Pod A, but it can hit things up close unlike Pod C, and it can pierce through enemies unlike either of the other pods. And it's Lv3-4 finishing attack (when you hold down pod fire for a little while and then release it) is unquestionably the best. I still wonder if this would do much to help in the Flooded City S-Rank arena...
