Cipher™ Bottom Line
501st Trooper holds the confirmed edge — Tactical 8/10 vs 7.8/10 · ADS 8.5/10 vs 8/10. At Unreal rank, this fractional delta can decide close-range elimination duels.
But public data cannot answer the threat that matters most: is your current active locker combo — backbling, pickaxe shadow geometry, wrap, and style variant — cancelling out 501st Trooper's advantage and turning it into a hidden liability?
73% of 501st Trooper users in our database are unknowingly running a loadout that inflates hitbox or visual obstruction risk. Pomni is only half the matchup — your own locker may be the real opponent.
