    Dude, it was literally the first thing I linked to, and I even quoted the most relevant portions of the entry.

        Oh, you’re right, it’s the Borg Wiki, it just looks the same because they both run on Fandom. Still, there’s no reason to think that’s no longer cannon just because Destiny is no longer cannon. We never see borg weapons adapting to anything other than phasers and photon torpedos, and there’s lots of circumstantial evidence that they can’t adapt to other weapon types.

          There’s also circumstantial evidence that they can adapt to other weapon types. Klingons and Romulans both ice disrupters and they’re are drones of those species. But probably even more telling, star fleet never whacked plasma cannons on their new anti Borg ships, when it was a well established technology. On personal shields I’ll grant you that they seemed to struggle (or maybe it just wasn’t used enough) to adapt to holomatter based projectiles.

          For the ships themselves I grant you the raw power and tonnage will tell. But for a Borg boarding party I see no reason for storm troopers to fare any better than others.
