The Terror of Dusk | Akjagara Prime

Hello everyone,

My name is UltimoFive and today we are going over the [Akjagara Prime], The Terror of Dusk.

Weapon Information

  • The [Akjagara Prime] is the prime version of the [Akjagara] from [Mesa Prime]'s release and is obtained by opening a variety of relics that contain said materials in order to make it.

  • Akjagara Prime Requires a mastery rank of 12.

  • [Akjagara Prime] comes with 2 "V" polarity slots and a "Dash" Exilus Polarity Slot and because of this the builds on this weapon require 3 forma.

  • [Akjagara Prime] excels in Close to Medium range combat and deals with high leveled enemies on the Corpus and Infested side rather easily in small to medium crowds.

Comparison to Original [Akjagara]

The Akjagara Prime has a lot of buffs when compared to the original Akjagara in different areas. These stats would be:

  • Higher Base Damage at 36.0 Vs. 30.0

  • Higher Critical Chance at 18% Vs. 6%

  • Higher Critical Multiplier at 2.2x Vs. 2.0x

  • Higher Status Chance at 32% Vs. 28%

  • Larger Magazine Capacity at 40 rounds Vs. 36 rounds

  • Faster Reload Speed at 1.4 seconds Vs. 2.25 seconds

  • Larger Max Ammo Capacity at 320 rounds Vs. 210 rounds

  • The only de-buff this weapon received was with it's Lower Fire Rate at 10 rounds per second Vs. 16.67 rounds per second.

Advantages Vs. Disadvantages

Advantages:

  • Good Critical Chance at 18%

  • Above Average Critical Multiplier at 2.2x

  • Very High Status Chance at 32%

  • Innate 0.2 meter punch through

  • High Accuracy at 33.3

Disadvantages:

  • Low Impact and Puncture Damage at 3.6 / 10% each

  • Inefficient ammo economy with less efficiency due to the weapons unique two shot burst fire.

Builds

Corpus: Tested up to Level 150

The Elements for the Akjagara Prime against the Corpus will be Viral/Electricity. Viral amplifies health damage by 100% for 6 seconds and stacks up to 10 times for a total of 325%, meanwhile Electricity stuns the target for 3 seconds and deals 50% base damage per second for 6 seconds. The Build's Flex Slot is [Lethal Torrent] and actually works extremely well. The viral helps amplify electricity procs and damage against robotic enemies. Alongside this the human corpus take additional damage once their shields are depleted and since I mention shields, that's the only issue with this build. It has to use brute force to get through enemies shields.

Corrupted & Grineer: Suggested up to Level 130

The Element for the [Akjagara Prime] against the Corrupted and Grineer will be Viral. The Build's Flex Slot is [Hydraulic Crosshairs] and works fairly well against the Corrupted and Grineer. What I mean by this is I tested for 2 hours to try and find the most efficient build against these two factions and this is the one that performed the best. [Hydraulic Crosshairs] helps get the Critical Chance over 75% and honestly that's what this weapon needs, that or Critical Damage.

Infested: Tested up to Level 150

The Elements for the Akjagara Prime against the Infested will be Viral/Heat. Heat deals 50% base damage per second over 6 seconds while stripping up to 50% armor and causes targets to panic. The Build's Flex Slot is [Lethal Torrent] and performs just as well as the Corpus build, except the infested enemies are thicker....is that weird to say? Well I already said it so deal with it. It's true though, I wish the weapons had a bit more punch through to help with the infested thickness... Oh I hear it now....

Recommended Alternative Mods

  • Pistol Ammo Mutation - In place of having no Exilus mod. This will cost one more forma in order to have though and is only an option if you want it since most of the time pistol ammo is abundant.

  • Carnis Stinger - In place of Hydraulic Crosshairs or Primed Heated Charge if you want more status chance and the increased chance of landing slash procs.

  • Hollow Point - In place of Hydraulic Crosshairs in the Corrupted and Grineer build if you want more innate critical damage with the sacrifice of 15% damage.

  • Sharpened Bullets - In place of [Hydraulic Crosshairs] in the Corrupted and Grineer build if you want to have increased critical damage upon getting a kill. Which is a bit stronger than Hydraulic Crosshairs, but in efficiency I would say Hydraulic Crosshairs is better.

Non-Recommended Alternative Mods

  • Augur Pact - After extensive testing I found that [Augur Pact] just simply doesn't work with this weapon and actually makes it weaker against high leveled enemies.

Ways to increase Critical Chance and Damage

There are several ways to enhance Critical Chance and Damage for this weapon:

Damage:

  • Rhino's Roar adds bonus damage.

  • [Nova]'s Molecular Prime makes all sources of damage increase by 100% against primed enemies, on top of that they will detonate upon death dealing blast damage.

  • Mirage's Eclipse adds a massive damage bonus during the day or in light.

  • Saryn's Toxic Lash mixed with her Spores abilities.

  • Banshee's Sonar gives a huge damage Multiplier.

  • Wisp's Haste Reservoir bolsters fire rate, in turn increasing DPS.

Critical Chance:

  • Harrow's Covenant can add up to 50% Critical Chance and 200% on headshots.

  • Adarza Kavat with Cat's Eye can give a 60% Critical Chance boost. (Only Activates Within 25 meters though)

  • Smeeta Kavat with Charm can give 200% Crit Chance.

Arcane Synergy

  • Arcane Avenger - Upon getting hit, 21% chance for 45% Critical Chance for 12 seconds.

  • Arcane Awakening - On reload, 60% chance for 150% damage to pistols for 24 seconds.

  • Arcane Precision - On Headshot, 100% chance for 300% damage to pistols for 18 seconds.

  • Arcane Pistoleer - Upon Headshot kill with Pistol, 60% chance for 102% Ammo efficiency for 12 seconds.
