Master Quest Rumor Honeybottoms Peashooter and Spread Only Hitless S Rank

Peashooter is the worst shot according to Magicat's Community while Spread is the worst shot according to my thoughts.
I really don't understand why people think Peashooter is the worst shot for this boss, it's a really good weapon for this boss due to it having range and it's EX actually being usable in all 3 Phases, if you say Peashooter is the worst shot for Rumor Honeybottoms then you clearly don't know how to lock aim.
Spread on the other hand is worse than Peashooter as there is no range from it for Phase 3 and it's EX is not usable on her, even if it might be better with it's higher DPS for Phases 1 and 2.
As stated, my thoughts were right regarding Spread being the worst shot for Rumor Honeybottoms and not Peashooter, mainly because as stated Phase 3, you can hit her more consistently in Phase 3 due to the Peashooter's range, but you can't hit her as much with Spread due to a lack of range.
After Rumor's Phase 3, I'm even more dreading Grim once I get to him, his Phase 3 is gonna be a nightmare with Spread... Beppi with Chaser is gonna be bad too, Baroness with Lobber, Phantom with Lobber... those are the top 4 I'm dreading the most in that order
