I ran a damage test on the Archon in Restoration mission with Hard Light, Red Death, Thorn, and MIDA. I based "highest damage" on how fast I completed the mission (darkness zone only). I went for as many precision shots as possible and I ran with my titan (no gunslinger trance / chain buff) Fastest completion time was: Thorn Longest completion time was: Hard light Thorn took 10 seconds fewer to compete.
