CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. The simplest Epitaph Prime primer: viral only, wide area from Primed Fulmination, and Embedded Catalyzer adding a small burst so the prime also softens the pack.

How it works

Frostbite plus Pistol Pestilence build viral; Scorch adds a heat proc for coverage; Primed Fulmination widens the area; Sure Shot and Amalgam Barrel Diffusion push status chance and multishot.

Embedded Catalyzer detonates a stuck charged shot for a little extra clear.

Where it struggles

Near-zero direct damage.

Charge time on the primary.

Variants

The Quick Primer (#262) and The Heat Seed (#281) are the other Epitaph primer tunes.

Who runs this

Players who want the lightest possible viral primer on Prime.
