Longshot
-specific playstyle w lot of heavies
-insane damage in short bursts, has a short buildup phase
-doesn't need enemy to have buffs
-no rng aspect
-is screwed when sb has incinerate immune
-doesn't need dupp
Symbiote Supreme
-probably more utility (dmg cap)
-heavily rng (staggers)
-has a rampup phase (up to sp3 and then smashes)
-it can be a problem when enemy is bleed immune
-the dupp is very useful, although not absolutely necessary
My personal opinion: Longshot all the way. I have a r3 5* Symbiote and I hate it. It's boring, it has stupid RNG which makes it unreliable. I tested it against The Champion (6.2) in that one side event for Ægon pfp and I failed because of bad rng couple times. Imho, Longshot is better choice here.
However I suggest you test out both and decide based on what you like. There are people who love SymSup and they can do incredible things with him.
If you need a good all-around champ, then longshot is good. Longshot is one of the fastest quest clearing champs.
If they have buffs and bleed, Sym melts them. If they don't have buffs, don't use Sym. Really though, running him without MD and/or against a champ with no buffs is a terrible experience.
