GT is good and underrated, it saves a lot of trouble in Day 1 against alchemists and tac ninjas, especially the multirocket mofo. It's not a guaranteed delimb like it was in vanilla 2 but the rate is still high, and when enemies don't lose their arm you can launch them while they are recovering from wallsplat (there are some exceptions). Just don't use it heads on as most will dodge it, the best opportunity is during guardbreaks. It also doesn't work on enemies with any sort of armor (like dagger cops and invisible tonfa guys) until you break it so keep that in mind.
Cicada is probably my favorite addition to 3RE and I am glad it's back in 4, I keep finding more ways to utilize it. Been looking forward to the double spider fight since I found about webmrelated
