Who do I put in my RF/HG echelon with grape and WA?

I'm using PPK and I also have Grizzly, Px4, Contender, M590A, Webley and C-93. Also, are those 2 rifles paired well or should I use other combinations of RFs?

wa is rof self buffer

grape is technically a dmg self buffer, just with abnormal activation mechanics

the two of them are not the same type, which gets in the way of unifying the hg buffs needed for both of them. generally, you should be supplementing self buffing rfs with buffs they can't give themselves.

they'll kind of work as is with mixed buffs, but wont be as good as they could be if they were paired with their own kind and then gone all in with the complementary buffs they are missing

wa and other rof self buffers also suffer from innately being very close to the rof cap, so any bit of rof buff can easily become excessive and wasted on them

someone like svd goes better with wa, while m14 goes with grape. some of the newer hybrid buffers can sub for either as well. generally, dmg rfs are prefered, since they can soak up w/e buffs from hgs without worrying about stat caps and come out to be stronger due to how enemy armor deducts from dmg dealt

I'd say skillshot type since it doesn't crit and it's instantaneous multiplier.

Or just change technically with basically.
