U36: Jade Shadows - Cannonade Mods

DE did a whole lot with U36: Jade Shadows. One of the minor elements introduced is the set of Cannonade mods, for Semi-Auto weapons only.

It is worth mentioning that U36: Jade Shadows gave all Semi-Auto and Burst-Fire weapons an accessibility option for an automatic trigger.

Review: Fulmin Prime (U33.6.0)

The Fulmin Prime is an MR12 Rifle, an improvement over the MR8 Fulmin. Wisp Prime's signature weapon, it possesses two distinct, Crit-heavy firing modes. Semi-Auto fires a hefty projectile great against crowds, while Full-Auto is a conventional, accurate hitscan attack. The two combine into a single, versatile and reasonably powerful weapon.

Review: Lex Incarnon (U33.5.6)

The Lex is another very old weapon family that has been given a new lease on life with Incarnon Genesis. Thoroughly outclassed in its base form for a long time, Incarnon form turns the Lex into one of the strongest single-shot weapons in the entire game.

NOTE: This review demonstrates Incarnon on a Lex Prime.

Review: Rauta (U33.5.3)

The Rauta is a new MR8 Shotgun. Kullervo's signature weapon, it offers unique synergies with Melee weapons, building their combo with its own shots. However, as a weapon in its own right, it is rather underwhelming and offers little over its competitors.

Review: Steflos (U32.3.4)

The Steflos is a new MR8 Shotgun. Citrine's signature Shotgun, it fires a short-range, wide  wave projectile that grows in both size and lifespan as it hits enemies. Much like the Arca Plasmor line, it excels against crowds of enemies, however is somewhat lacking against singular, heavier targets.

Review: Tenet Plinx (U32.2.4)

The Tenet Plinx is a new MR6 Sister of Parvos weapon introduced in U32.2. It is a vast improvement over the base Plinx, with a much stronger basic Semi-Auto attack, as well as a new explosive Alternate Fire.

Review: Afentis (U32.0.11)

The Afentis is a new MR8 Speargun Primary. Styanax's signature weapon, it is a slow-firing weapon that launches projectiles with a powerful delayed explosion. Alternatively, it can be thrown into the ground to project a small buff field, which grants any Warframe within it several weapon buffs. While not as notable as a weapon itself, its utility field can be quite useful for some weapons, particularly AoE weapons that have been hit hard by the recent Ammo rework.

Review: Felarx (Updated U32.0.6)

EDIT: Felarx Incarnon form was given a significant buff in U32 - base Damage increased from 500 to 600, and given a Catchmoon-like wave projectile. These drastically improve the viability of Incarnon form and justify a re-review.

The Felarx is a new MR14 Incarnon Shotgun. Following the incredibly powerful Laetum and Phenmor, it has extremely high standards to live up to. A moderately strong, if slightly unexceptional Shotgun in Default form, headshots charge up Incarnon form. Incarnon form fires wave-like projectiles that tear through crowds, however its lower Burst DPS makes Default form the stronger single-target weapon. The Felarx is the first Incarnon weapon that is best used as a two-mode weapon, unlike the others which want to be in Incarnon form at all times.

NOTE: There are very slight spoilers for Angels of the Zariman, due to the Felarx's acquisition and upgrade methods.

Review: Phenmor (U31.5.9)

The Phenmor is an MR14 Rifle, another weapon in the new Incarnon family. A slow-firing Semi-Auto Rifle in its Default form, each headshot charges up its Incarnon form. When transformed into Incarnon form, the Phenmor is a fearsome Full-Auto heavy machine gun that tears through almost every enemy with ease.

NOTE: Like with the Laetum, there are very slight spoilers for the new Angels of the Zariman quest and content.

Review: Laetum (U31.5.7)

The Laetum is an MR14 Secondary, one of the new "Incarnon" weapons. Its default form is a fairly ordinary slow-firing Semi-Auto, however headshots will charge up an Incarnon form. When transformed, the Laetum is quite possibly the strongest ranged weapon in the entire game.

NOTE: Angels of the Zariman spoilers have been kept to a minimum in this review, but by nature of its acquisition and upgrade it is not completely spoiler free.

Review: Akbronco Prime (U31.3.1)

The Akbronco Prime is one of the oldest Primes in the game, introduced all the way back in U12.4. A pair of Secondary Shotguns, it can inflict a decent number of Status procs at very close range. New mods have breathed new life into it, however overall it is largely outclassed by other new Secondary Shotguns.

Review: Nagantaka Prime (U31.3.1)

The MR12 Nagantaka Prime is an improved version of the MR9 Nagantaka. Garuda Prime's signature Crossbow, it excels at inflicting brutal Slash procs on heavily armoured enemies, though struggles against large groups.

Review: Strun Prime and Wraith (U30.7.6)

The Strun family is one of the oldest weapon lines in Warframe, with the base Strun being available in-game in its original release. It has since seen several variants introduced, notably the MR10 Strun Wraith in U9.7.2, and most recently the MR14 Strun Prime in U30.7.

Review: Magnus Prime (U30.7.5)

The Magnus Prime is an MR14 Secondary, released with Nidus Prime in U30.7. A Semi-Auto revolver, it sports solid though unexceptional stats and a powerful, if somewhat unreliable, buff. This buff gives it a unique niche among comparable weapons, but its inconsistency can be quite frustrating.

Review: Tenet Spirex (U30.6.1)

The MR14 Tenet Spirex is one of the completely new Secondaries introduced in U30.5 Sisters of Parvos. A slow-firing Semi-Auto Pistol, it has very good Crit and great Status Chance. Strong stats coupled with an explosive shot make the Tenet Spirex one of the best Semi-Auto Pistols in the game.

Review: Kuva Hek (U30.6.1)

The Kuva Hek is an MR15 Shotgun, one of the three new Kuva weapons introduced in U30.5. It packs a great deal of firepower into a few shots, making it a very good single-target weapon, but is severely lacking when up against large numbers of enemies.

Review: Tenet Arca Plasmor (U30.6.1)

The Tenet Arca Plasmor is an MR16 Shotgun, firing a single massive plasma wave. With several stat increases over the already strong Arca Plasmor, the TAPlasmor is a great crowd clearer and overall very solid weapon.

Review: Tenet Detron (U30.5.5)

The Tenet Detron is an MR16 Shotgun Secondary, one of the many weapons introduced in U30.5: Sisters of Parvos. Packing a very solid stat spread, it is a fairly powerful, if not particularly exceptional, weapon.

Review: Pandero Prime (U29.10.10)

Pandero Prime is one of Octavia Prime's signature weapons, an MR14 Secondary. With very strong stats across the board, it is a solid, if fairly un-interesting, low-capacity hand cannon.

Review: Zakti Prime (U29.3.0)

The Zakti Prime is an MR14 Secondary, just released alongside Nezha and Guandao Primes in U29.3. Firing explosive darts, it is fairly potent at clearing tightly packed groups of enemies, and rapidly stacks up Status procs on any survivors.
