    I'd say front, there are a lot of times when you have to hit the boss from the front (A5S/A6S stack share dmg, and likely in A7S/A8S as well, though I haven't been there yet).

    A6S Blaster dash dodges sometime necessitate front punches to not die and keep dps up, Brawler has a stack mechanic where he faces the boss for a solid 2-3 gcds, Swindler snipers sometimes look at you, and Vortexer you stack at his front for water in some strats.
    A7S I haven't seen yet, but I am /fairly/ sure you need front cap, at least for the part where you're trapped in a box and baiting aoes as a group.
    A8S has all of the A6S adds again with the same mechanics (more or less) so it's highly likely you'll be hitting front there. But again, not there yet so /shrug.
    Thanks both for the information. It does appear that in those sections of the fight it is difficult to perform the mechanics and maintain positionals. It does not appear that any small amount of secondaries traded to meet Flank VS Frontal accuracy would be worth losing a mid combo rotation on a melee class given bad RNG.
