"I sometimes wonder whether I'm making funny youtube videos or I'm just documenting my mental decline." My brother in Christ, you are a Warframe content creator. The answer is both
"Being attacted to unhinged women-" he says, looking at possibly the single most hinged Hex member, let alone the easily most hinged Hex lady. I know the bar isn't terribly high, but still.
The idea that Aoi is the most unhinged speaks to just how little he knows what the word means Its like people calling Eleanor a hag for sexual purposes, people just use words to sound cool
Primary Crux is such a cool arcane. Just the ammo efficiency alone makes it a worthwhile investment, but then adding its easy stackability and the massive +300% status chance and you can make any weapon go wild from the word 'go'
I don‘t think the ammo efficiency alone is the reason why the arcane shines… The +300% status chance is definitly playing a big role in it‘s success Without that the arcanes wouldn‘t be nearly as good as it is
@Shotgun.Philosophy it's certainly a big factor for me, considering ammo efficiency is a pretty rare stat to be able to manipulate without either using up a helminth slot or using a certain focus school
@ it‘s just for primary‘s man. I‘m not saying ammo efficency isn‘t nice but you wouldn‘t really want to sacrifice your base damage arcane for a few more ammo because you would need to mod the damage on the weapon then which takes away unneccessary slots that could be utility or crit for example… The status chance part is definitly the part that makes the arcane viable.
You can replace shotgun barrage with the new magnetic + fire rate dual stat mod for overguard shredding and an additional gun CO element for a tad less firerate
Aoi is probably the most normal of The Hex. Eleanor is when you get the uh gutpunches. I feel like this almost needs a Sentient Surge-like augment where it refills the clip upon a certain number of kills. Without Crux, obviously.
Adding even one stack of magnetic on eximus makes them evaporate so much faster, too, let alone 10 stacks and then a big electric proc when the shields fail.
Pure electric is some good fun on the phantasma. Does decent area damage, and I feel like it works a little better than blast with the phantasma's weapon style.
@XxX_afterHours_XxX Electric proc scaling, easier to demonstrate than explain. Nothing wrong with a blast electric though, 99% of content won't really be that different
I've found that one way for status weapons to get around the 4 stack limit for status effects on the acolytes is to just have tons of gas stacks on everything else. That 4 stack limit is irrelevant when the other 20 things that died in the hall had 10 gas stacks on them and now the acolyte is standing in 200 stacks of gas clouds, especially if you strip their armor.
Strun incarnon is also a prime candidate for crux. It has a perk that gives the incarnon form somewhere around +136% base status chance. Which is then quadrupled by crux
My recent shenanigan with the Primary Crux is with the Soma Prime, with Incarnon Genesis, with Hata Satya mod. More ammo efficiency is fantastic with Hata Satya, easily maxing to 500% CC on normal mode while filling up the incarnon meter. Haven't verified if Primary Crux applies to incarnon mode, but with practically infinite ammo, I'm not even breaking a sweat.
my favorite build for this gun right now is corrosive+blast with magnetic strafe and then you run it on ember with nourish and fireball frenzy. its so funny seeing how many statuses it applies.
If you wanna try something that's more crit/upfront damage than status focused next (speaking of good sidearms), then you might wanna check out the Tenet Plinx with Pistol Acuity...
Acceltra has to be my favourite with Crux, magnetic corrosive and cold with Critical Delay. With 300% base status from Crux you proc the puncture of the acceltra pretty often and you get orange crits and some reds with vigilante mods. Aoe makes everyone be cold proc'd which gives up to 100% crit damage. 60% ammo efficiency means even running vile acceleration won't cause ammo issues. Outsourcing viral makes it even better
You don't actually need much firerate on the Phantasma because you can blast em for a little bit and walk away while the DOT pops them. I get much more mileage out of corrosive and heat.
I know its not been too long ago since you did it, but the Exergis with Primary Crux and Shotgun Elementalist makes it quite fun and satisfying to use Also side notes, there are a couple weapons that makes them shoot and forget, like the Boltor Incarnon, AX-52, Dera Incarnon and a couple more that reaches over 100% ammo efficiency, since Crux is additive and not multuplicative
Mr Footframe man give the Astilla prime another try! With crux and a blast hybrid build it’s very fun! The build is a little tight, but it works. Add arcane tempo and energized munitions to make it even sillier!
The cinta modded for pure blast or blast+corrosive on the perfect shot would be cool with primary crux. Tenet exergis on blast is pretty good with primary crux too. On an unrelated note, melee afflictions can duplicate the forced electric procs from breaking the overguard/shields of magnetic primed enemies, with all their %overguard scaling, effectively destroying them at any level. The tenet exec and the sampotes with their slam waves and keratinos with its 6-hit, 6-knockdown heavy attack could be pretty good for that interaction. Just thought that would be cool to see in action
Cinta reeeaally doesn't want Crux though, since you can get 100% status chance already with Hammer Shot and a single dualstat for a pure blast/gas setup. Longbow Sharpshot is far too strong to sacrifice.
One thing that i would change is instead of shotgun barrage use repeater clip you reload so often that it's always up and the only thing you have to do is aim down sights.
Phantasma with Crux is honestly amazing, but I use mine as a heat inherit primer. Let me tell you, stacking 300 heat DoTs on a demolisher then swapping to my Furis incarnon is really magical, assuming they dont die to the Phantasma’s heat procs first lol
How'd Harold get his name? Crux + Elementalist make the Phantasma feel so good, adding the ammo efficiency and magazine capacity is such a big boon to the gun. Also the new magnetic shotgun mod adds fire rate which is really nice since you can get magnetic to deal with Eximus enemies that much easier.
I know you've posted a video on your build for Harold in the past, is that still up to date? I've never really actually used a Hound before, may as well grab a strong one haha
"How much status does this proc?" "All of it" You need to work on your chemistry with Aoi/ProtoMag? I'm looking to find out what Eleanor can do with her tongue.
Some weapons like Phantasma need the extra base damage since that damage is used in the calculations for how much damage your elemental procs do. Savvy is different because it only affects the damage of the weapon itself. Its part of the reason why most weapons use Deadhead, Merciless or Dexterity in their arcane slots since those arcanes give us base damage.
worried about if you are making funny youtube videos or documenting your mental decline, why not both? anyway, thanks for the neat video funny youtube gentleman.
The weapon is trash to me. If it's alt fire doesn't kill alongside it's primary the weapon is objectively bad. The alternate fire is the coolest aspect but it cannot actually defeat enemies phantasma is a huge disappointment. Even the felarx incarnon has capacity to be lethal so it gets a pass but any weapon with two fire modes with only one being viable is objectively a failure. Love your videos regardless.
The issue with the alt-fire is that it doesn't deal enough damage. The homing bomblets are pretty neat and can proc headshot effects, but even with their multiplicative Gun CO, it deals too little damage to be worth considering in Steel Path.
@NathanTruby hence the weapon being objectively a failure and needing a buff to alt fire. The weapon is disappointing trash at least i can utilize felarx incarnon form in steel trash mode
@glitchvariable5336 The issue with your argument (and the reason I'm saying anything at all) is that Felarx Incarnon is still a good weapon. It's not trash in the slightest. That's something a lot of people don't understand. It's not as powerful as the normal mode (nowhere near that), but it's still on par with the Lich weapons. All of the Incarnon weapons are due to the evolutions alone. If you want to do a good comparison, put it up against its peers. Compare it to the Lich weapons, not the best shotgun in the game.
@@NathanTruby i don't consider felarx incarnon the best shotgun in the game tbh. Strun incarnon and boar incarnon would be on equal footing with Felarx in my book easily. Felarx is mentioned because people tend to ignore it's incarnon form to the point not using the incarnon form on a weapon with it is referred to as "felarxing it". Any and all weapons with two fire modes with only one being viable are in my book bad and failures i would say the community is a failure in the case of most incarnon weapons because they often only utilize incarnon forms and ignore regular mode like in the case of the torid who with incarnon has a completely viable normal mode as well as a powerful incarnon. I will say having two fire modes without both working makes any weapon bad by my standards.
Trash for what content, it does the entire game, theres nothing else it needs to do Keep playing with your torid incarnon, we'll enjoy things not needing to only ever be the torid
"I sometimes wonder whether I'm making funny youtube videos or I'm just documenting my mental decline." My brother in Christ, you are a Warframe content creator. The answer is both
the answer is "yes"
"Being attacted to unhinged women-" he says, looking at possibly the single most hinged Hex member, let alone the easily most hinged Hex lady.
I know the bar isn't terribly high, but still.
That's an odd way to say Lettie but ok /jk
The idea that Aoi is the most unhinged speaks to just how little he knows what the word means
Its like people calling Eleanor a hag for sexual purposes, people just use words to sound cool
Primary Crux is such a cool arcane. Just the ammo efficiency alone makes it a worthwhile investment, but then adding its easy stackability and the massive +300% status chance and you can make any weapon go wild from the word 'go'
Also quite easy to stack as it’s on hit of a weak spot rather than a kill so it works on lone tanky enemies really well too.
I don‘t think the ammo efficiency alone is the reason why the arcane shines…
The +300% status chance is definitly playing a big role in it‘s success
Without that the arcanes wouldn‘t be nearly as good as it is
@Shotgun.Philosophy it's certainly a big factor for me, considering ammo efficiency is a pretty rare stat to be able to manipulate without either using up a helminth slot or using a certain focus school

The status chance part is definitly the part that makes the arcane viable.
You've not lived until you've turned the phantasma into a portable enemy microwave device, putting out thousands of heat procs in a clip
Do not put the baby in the oven.
You can replace shotgun barrage with the new magnetic + fire rate dual stat mod for overguard shredding and an additional gun CO element for a tad less firerate
Yeah I was going to suggest that also!
yup
I was looking for phantasma build literally a hour ago, as soon as I leave to do something and come back, this popped up.
Brilliant 👏
Aoi is probably the most normal of The Hex. Eleanor is when you get the uh gutpunches.
I feel like this almost needs a Sentient Surge-like augment where it refills the clip upon a certain number of kills. Without Crux, obviously.
Didn't he say he needed to work on his chemistry with Aoi, thus implying he was more into Lettie and Eleanor than her?
Should swap barrage for magnetic strafe since it has fire rate and adds another element to make your damage fram savy higher, feels just as good
Adding even one stack of magnetic on eximus makes them evaporate so much faster, too, let alone 10 stacks and then a big electric proc when the shields fail.
If Joe with two and a half teeth is promising me built forma, I’m getting in that van.
Phantasma is great for effortlessly cooking crowds so long as you have a secondary that can handle hardened single targets
Sup
The goat
Hey, how do you forma so many weapons 😂
Kuva Hind?
Hi, love your builds
The dopamine after Phantasma Prime's Glow Up.
Pure electric is some good fun on the phantasma. Does decent area damage, and I feel like it works a little better than blast with the phantasma's weapon style.
Why not both?
@XxX_afterHours_XxX Electric proc scaling, easier to demonstrate than explain. Nothing wrong with a blast electric though, 99% of content won't really be that different
You can't stop me looking at your feet picks my good tenno. My obsession first started when I made wisp prime...
HUNTER, WHAT THE FUCK

4:17 Both, both is good
Primary crux and the kuva hek is awesome
Try Kuva Kohm with Crux
I have it on all 3 shotties even the Kuva Sobek and I love it on them all
Strun incarnon is also a prime candidate for crux. It has a perk that gives the incarnon form somewhere around +136% base status chance. Which is then quadrupled by crux
Your videos never disappoint. Keep up the great work man
I am staring relentlessly and respectfully
My recent shenanigan with the Primary Crux is with the Soma Prime, with Incarnon Genesis, with Hata Satya mod. More ammo efficiency is fantastic with Hata Satya, easily maxing to 500% CC on normal mode while filling up the incarnon meter. Haven't verified if Primary Crux applies to incarnon mode, but with practically infinite ammo, I'm not even breaking a sweat.
The fact he says "stop looking at my feet" means he knows what his audience is like...

inaros got them grippers
Damn i was hoping to see the alternate fire too. Unless i missed it…I was doing dishes during the watch lmao
This does look like dumb fun, may have to faff around with it, thanks for the helpful video MC!
You don't actually need much firerate on the Phantasma because you can blast em for a little bit and walk away while the DOT pops them. I get much more mileage out of corrosive and heat.

God I need this thing…. I have the regular version but it’s just crispy as hell
Brilliant weapon but the MIGHTY SEER can do everything it can do but better
Kuva Kraken alternate fire would go well with that ammo efficiency.
Mr Footframe man give the Astilla prime another try! With crux and a blast hybrid build it’s very fun! The build is a little tight, but it works. Add arcane tempo and energized munitions to make it even sillier!
Another kinda funny gun for Primary Crux would be the Primary Vermisplicer kitgun
You could do Corrosive Blast with only three dual stats
Very funnu
At first I thought Aoi cause I'm a Mag main, but the more I talk to Eleanor the more I gravitate towards her.
The cinta modded for pure blast or blast+corrosive on the perfect shot would be cool with primary crux. Tenet exergis on blast is pretty good with primary crux too.

I've been using shotgun vendetta on the phantasma, but that crux build looks really nice!
Phantasma with Crux is honestly amazing, but I use mine as a heat inherit primer. Let me tell you, stacking 300 heat DoTs on a demolisher then swapping to my Furis incarnon is really magical, assuming they dont die to the Phantasma’s heat procs first lol
Another one I've had a lot of fun with using Crux on is the Bubonico 👀
Might throw Crux in my setup ngl! I run this on Gyre with just pure electricity + Prisma Ohma with Melee Influence and it's a toooooon of fun.
A favorite of mine after getting my hands on it.
I'm happy to see a phantasma video but am orvius video would do wonders
I wanna try this with the Tenet Glaxion. Just farmed out a Magnetic one just to give it a shot
Dera vandal incarnoff next? Multiplicative CO is funny
I would say you are documenting both
You should check out Enervate Zakti or Zymos. Crazy stuff!
Also Aoi isn't unhinged, shes nothing but vanilla compared to the actual nutty girl that is Eleanor
Funny that blast and shock is good. I usually combo shock with gas.
I'll jump in any van for some forma!
aoi's so sweet what do you mean unhinged? :c
Fun fact, if you have a riven you are likely better off using the normal variant
4:17 both
I have been on holiday in prague its amazing here
I'd like to see how he is able to toy with the Komorex sniper
Crux is my favorite arcane since I tried it with my kuva kohm
Pd. Strun incarnon with blast damage and primary crux is nuts
How'd Harold get his name?
Crux + Elementalist make the Phantasma feel so good, adding the ammo efficiency and magazine capacity is such a big boon to the gun. Also the new magnetic shotgun mod adds fire rate which is really nice since you can get magnetic to deal with Eximus enemies that much easier.
You should try Akimbo Slip Shot with something like the Aksomati Prime
I know you've posted a video on your build for Harold in the past, is that still up to date? I've never really actually used a Hound before, may as well grab a strong one haha
Primary Crux is awesome
Have you tried the convectrix + primary crux? Adding some punchthrough makes it perform way above anything I thought it could
"How much status does this proc?"
"All of it"
You need to work on your chemistry with Aoi/ProtoMag? I'm looking to find out what Eleanor can do with her tongue.
Can you do the baza again plz so many crit options has come out i wanna see the red
Could you check out the prisma angstrum incarnon with pistol acuity? It's kind of disgusting
Lenz still has the weird thing going on with double elementing. The second doesn't seem to do much but it's funny 😅
4:19 good question
Mr. Funny TH-cam Man! If you see this, do give the Stahlta a revisit with the new Primary Acuity mod. It gets nutty.
I really wanna see what crux does on a boar incarnon or convectrix😮
worst always mean better with MC
Showcasing a build in 1999 content with Hex override buffs isn't accurate, but other locations you showed were solid. Just some might not know.
My goat gun ❤❤❤
3:07 Owl.
I got the forma was it worth it ? Come find out
silly string gun
alt fire is pretty funny tho
4:20
ur doing both of them
also telos boltace when (again i guess)
Aeolak!!! Its hella underrated imo
My mister you tube man can u tell me what should i get on phantasma riven.
Try primary crux bubonico. one headshot and then spam its nades. You gotta change the energy colors to black or you can't see shit
Gotta say... Its Phanta-stic
(Sorry for the blatant pun theft)
Can we please get orthos prime build
Its true that Fulmination increases the arc jump on the Amprex?
Akarius Prime w/ Secondary Enervate please!!
Hear me out!
CONVECTRIX with efficient beams and primary crux
swap out shotgun barrage for magnetic strafe
I run a phage with a similar build
do the lex!
I think it's coolsies :>
Video 10 of 2025 asking for you to revisit best girl Ivara in 2025.
Right as I'm farming it lmao
Please do tatsu prime video please😢😢
Why the base damage when galvanised savvy give more
Some weapons like Phantasma need the extra base damage since that damage is used in the calculations for how much damage your elemental procs do. Savvy is different because it only affects the damage of the weapon itself.
Its part of the reason why most weapons use Deadhead, Merciless or Dexterity in their arcane slots since those arcanes give us base damage.
But MC he said that his van has forma in it! and we need the forma
Phenmor time
4:17 Why not both?
20 Forma is 20 Forma what can i say
"these intros keep getting worse and worse"
Mr internet man you mispronounced "better and better" I chuckled quite a bit at this one
You are making fun of your own documentation of your mental decline. And we love it.
HA JOKES ON YOU I DON'T NEED TO GET IN A STRANGERS VAN FOR FORMA SINCE I HAVE 127 FORMA BP
worried about if you are making funny youtube videos or documenting your mental decline, why not both?
anyway, thanks for the neat video funny youtube gentleman.
Another video of people forgetting Phantasma has an alt fire, sigh...
