Yep, Kin and Cold both turned out to be a bit less impressive as Offenders than I had hoped. They're good, no doubt, but in actual practice they're a bit less direct than they look on paper. Rad can have its +Dam +Rech running before a single shot is fired and it takes virtually no time to throw out an EF and starting blasting. (RI adds a bit, but it makes up for it by being very good when you need it.)

Rad/Sonic has all the benefits you described for Rad and Dark blasts (except much better) plus a +Dam +Rech buff, all of which make it so powerful that it's better in a fight than a Scrapper at low levels. (It also destroys AV's and GM's.) Dark/Sonic is nearly as good, and Cold/Sonic would actually debuff even better (but be in more danger in the process). Kin has +Dam and +Rech, and only the former is a higher number than what Rad has, and Kin cuts into its attack chain to buff itself, if it even hits!
Darn, looks like I need to roll another Defender !
