Review: Phantasma Prime (U32.0.13)

The Phantasma Prime is an MR14 Beam Shotgun, and a very minor upgrade over the base MR9 Phantasma. Released in U32.0.9 alongside Revenant Prime, it is a potent Status weapon with borderline-usable Crit, and excels at stacking massive numbers of procs on clumps of enemies.

Not a whole lot notable this Baro visit. In non-Baro-related news, the crossplay testing between PC and Xbox seems to be going well.

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: Tenet Tetra (Updated U32.0.8)

The Tenet Tetra is an MR16 Rifle, one of the new variants introduced for the U30.5 Sisters of Parvos. With massive stat increases across the board as well as a powerful new second firing mode, it is a well rounded and overall quite strong weapon.

EDIT: U32 changed the Tenet Tetra alternate fire to deplete the remaining magazine in the explosive attack, with damage scaling based on amount of ammo left. This is a significant improvement to the weapon and allows seamless use of both firing modes.

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.
