Why do we use?
This route trades single target damage for big blast ticks, giving us some AoE potential
HEAT PROGEN
Heat Progen to create 1 mod Blast and save space. [Hema] has Innate viral making it one of few viable Viral + Blast.
PCR – To significantly boost blast weight and chance to proc with a single mod.
- PCR also boosts single target raw damage with a primed mod where blast may fall short.
Crux? For Ammo Efficiency and Status Chance. Efficiency means [Hema] consumes health less often, the status chance bonus triples the amount of blast we apply.
Crit Chance is low but Crit Multiplier is high enough that crit mods are still worth using.
[Shred] – Necessary punch through + fire rate
Aptitude – [Hema] has MultiCO, a MUST SLOT. This mod means multiplicative AoE blast damage. Damage may feel lacking because of limited internal elements, external priming through companions / weapons strongly recommended.
Spectral Serration? – This is the BASE DAMAGE SLOT, necessary for CO to multiply. Spectral is technically best for min/max but its build / preference dependant, flexible for Amalgam / [Serration].
