With all the harpoon hotness, here’s my take on it.

For 3 points of Ruthlessness, Expertise would be WAY stronger on Vessery. Otherwise that's a great build.

Now, those Bombers offer a potent Alpha strike, but very little in the long game. That's not a critique of the builds, which are strong, but rather of the Archetype. If you want to stick with them, I would go with GC instead of LRS. You pick your lock later, get to use it, Expertise Eyes, and then GC a blank. Pretty guaranteed 4 hits twice. That might kill the opponent fast enough for it to be viable
