Epitaph - Magnetic, Viral, Radiation, Cold, and Blast Status Primer

Blank Slot is Magnetic Might

Why Use This Build?

  • This is a Status Primer for Magnetic, Viral, Radiation, Cold, and Blast all at once and in a huge area very quickly. Magnetic and Viral Statuses amplify your damage to Health, Shields, and Overguard. Cold Status also increases Critical Damage against the target. Radiation and Cold status is excellent for survivability making enemies fight each other and move slower. This can be very useful for frames that may struggle staying alive against enemies with Overguard. The Radiation Status does not directly affect enemies with Overguard, but they will still fight non-Overguard enemies with Radiation Status.

Mods

  • Primed Pistol Ammo Mutation - More ammo
  • Primed Fulmination - Increased radius
  • Amalgam Barrel Diffusion - I like the Dodge Speed. The lower Multishot isn't noticeable since this doesn't have to compete with Galvanized Diffusion due to rarely getting kills.
  • Lethal Torrent - Fire Rate and Multishot
  • Augur Seeker - Status Duration is nice since you are usually switching weapons or using this to stay alive.
  • Pistol Pestilence - Toxin and Status Chance
  • Frostbite - Cold and Status Chance
  • Accelerated Isotope - Radiation
  • Magnetic Might - Magnetic

Arcanes

  • Secondary Dexterity - I prefer this for the Holster Speed and Melee Combo Duration.
  • Secondary Fortifier - This is decent if you need added survivability, but you can't really rely on it, so I generally don't use it unless Secondary Dexterity has no use.

Rivens

  • Mod to Replace: [Lethal Torrent] because the Fire Rate is generally useless or actively bad. If you can get Viral, Radiation, or Magnetic on a single riven, it could be good too and you might be able to slot in Sure Shot.
  • Ideal Positive Modifiers in this order: Multishot, Electric, Heat, Status Chance, Toxin, or Cold. The Electric or Heat can allow you to replace Accelerated Isotope with a 60/60 mod for more Status Chance, so you can see either of those elements as +60% Status Chance. The Riven disposition is relatively low, so Status Chance is usually going to be lower than 60% if you get it which is why I rank it lower.
  • Ideal Negative Modifiers: Any kind of damage or critical stats, recoil, zoom is good.

Appendix

  • You can save a Forma (V on [Augur Seeker]) using a lesser ammo mutation.
