CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Since the armour and health pass, raw viral-magnetic-heat scales past viral-slash on Phenmor because Devouring Attrition multiplies the non-crit hit, not the bleed. Build for that 2000% roll and let a primer stack viral.

Evolutions

Void's Guidance at II plus Primary Deadhead gives -100% recoil.

Ready Retaliation at III also cuts the transform time from about 3.4 seconds to 1.7 if you reload from empty.

Elemental Excess at IV lowers crit so more hits are non-crits for Devouring Attrition.

Devouring Attrition at V is the 50% chance for a 2000% multiplier.

The mods

Galvanized Aptitude scales with the primer's status stacks; Galvanized Chamber is multishot; Primed Shred is punch-through and fire rate.

Malignant Force plus Primed Cryo Rounds and Hellfire build viral and heat, with magnetic from Magnetic Capacity.

Where it struggles

Needs a companion or secondary primer to shine.

Corpus want a different element split.

Variants

A viral-slash Phenmor is the alternative against Corpus and low-armour content.

Who runs this

Players pairing Phenmor with a Diriga or Kuva Nukor primer for Grineer level cap.
