Rust or Viridescent Hunt?

Hi everyone,

So here's the thing. I bought the BP a few days ago as a Christmas gift to myself. I initially considered Wolf-Fang for my Alhaitham (currently using R5 Harbinger of Dawn). However, I also plan on getting Childe during next Chronicled Wish, and while reviewing guides in prevision for his build, I realised that I did not have many options for him in terms of bows. I do have two Rusts that are taking the dust (none of my bow users seem to be able to make good use of it), but KQM seems to indicate that despite the drip (which I value) it's not excellent, and suggests that the BP bow Viridescent Hunt might be a better choice. This got me considering getting Viridescent Hunt for Childe, and waiting until my next BP purchase (end of May for by birthday) to get Wolf-Fang for Alhaitham (for whom I still need to farm Gilded Dreams anyway to replace his CRIT rate circlet with a CRIT DMG one).

So what do you think? Would getting Viridescent Hunt really be that of a better investment over Rust? How much efficiency would I lose using R2 Rust instead of R1 Viridescent Hunt? Don't know whether there are up-to-date weapons calcs laying around...

For info, my currently projected teams for Childe:

• All-Male Taser: Childe / Ororon / Zhongli / Kazuha
• Intergrassional: Childe / DMC / Kazuha / Bennett
• Weakened International: Childe / PMC / Kazuha / Bennett (yeah I don't like Xiangling lol)
• Burgeon: Childe / Thoma (unbuilt yet) / DMC / Rosaria (seen that one KQM)

Thanks for your insights.

P-S : Of course, craftables like Chain Breaker can also be considered in last resort if they're of value over Rust (maybe not a R5 one, but I do have 6 billets, some of which could be used), despite the lack of drip lol.
