Impact is the amount of damage a shot does.

Attack affects the damage reduction for level and armor. Higher attack means there's less damage penalties applied.

Thus, in Crucible impact is what you want. In Iron banner, you need to balance both.

It's not as clear as it could be, but it's not that complicated when you know.

That is the exact opposite of what my brain concluded based on the information provided.

So, theoretically, an Attack 10 Auto Rifle and Attack 60 Auto Rifle with identical Impact would do the same damage against an enemy the same level as you?
