CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE
How to play this build.
Tenno. Primary Acuity turns Burston Prime's headshots into red crits and raw viral-heat carries the damage. It locks multishot to one, so charging the Incarnon is a touch slower, but the payoff is a burst rifle that deletes heads.
Evolutions
Fortress Salvo at II for flat damage plus punch-through if your frame has over 450 armour.
Kinetic Battle at III for recoil.
Absolute Valor at IV for +22% crit chance to reach 50% base.
The mods
Primary Acuity gives roughly +525% headshot multiplier additive to the base 300%, plus +350% crit chance on headshots.
Galvanized Scope and Vital Sense are the crit core; Malignant Force plus Primed Cryo Rounds are viral.
The Incarnon form's area component ignores headshot and multishot bonuses but keeps the Acuity crit chance.
Swap Primary Acuity for Galvanized Chamber if you dislike the charge rate.
Where it struggles
Rewards headshots and punishes body shots.
Area component is weak.
Variants
A Galvanized Chamber build trades the headshot ceiling for faster charging and more consistent body damage.
Who runs this
Precision players who aim for the head every shot.
