The Pocket Rocket | Prisma Angstrum

Hello everyone,

My name is UltimoFive and today we are going over the [Prisma Angstrum], The Pocket Rocket.

Weapon Information

  • [Prisma Angstrum] is the Prisma Version of [Angstrum] and is obtained by buying the weapon form Baro Ki'Teer, when he has it in stock, for 210,000 Credits and 475 Ducats or can be traded from a player who has it at rank 0 with no Forma or Orokin Catalyst installed.

  • Prisma Angstrum Requires a mastery rank of 8.

  • Prisma Angstrum comes with only a "D" Polarity Slot and, because of this, the builds for this weapon require 5 forma.

  • [Prisma Angstrum] excels in Short to Medium Range Combat and deals with high leveled enemies very well around level 145, easily dealing with Single Targets as well as Small to Medium Crowds.

  • [Prisma Angstrum] has a unique feature that when fully charged it will expend the full magazine and fires extra projectiles. However, it can also fire at partial charges that only expends part of the magazine.

Comparison to Original [Angstrum]

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

  • Higher Critical Chance at 18% Vs. 16%

  • Higher Critical Multiplier at 2.2x Vs. 2.0x

  • Higher Status Chance at 26% Vs. 22%

  • Faster Charge Time at 0.2 Seconds Vs. 0.5 Seconds

  • Faster Reload Speed at 1.8 Seconds Vs. 2.5 Seconds

Advantages Vs. Disadvantages

Advantages:

  • Above Average Critical Multiplier at 2.2x

  • Very High Status Chance at 26%

  • Rockets explode in a 3.6 meter radius upon Impact with surface or an enemy.

  • Can be fired with partial charge in order to launch part of the Magazine.

Disadvantages:

  • Explosions cause self-stagger

  • Explosions have linear damage falloff from 100% to 60% from central impact point.

  • Very High Recoil (I mean it's a Rocket Launcher packed into a Pistol....)

  • The weapon fires as soon as it reaches full charge, which can lead to premature firing.

  • Extremely poor ammo efficiency

  • Very Low Ammo Capacity

  • Extremely Low Magazine Capacity of 3 rounds, which requires frequent reloading.

Builds

Corpus: Total Damage - 12,499.2 | Average Hit - 35,873.9 | Burst DPS - 107,621.6 | Sustained DPS - 49,4481.2 | Tested up to Level 145

The Elements for the Prisma Angstrum against the Corpus will be Radiation/Toxin. Radiation causes enemies to attack each other while dealing 100% additional damage to the allied for 12 seconds. Meanwhile, Toxin deals 50% base damage per second over 6 seconds, stacking indefinitely with each instance having its own timer. The Build's Flex Slot is [Lethal Torrent] and, with a full charge, it can easily one shot all Corpus enemies except for the Bursa. Radiation helps against Robotic enemies, while Toxin deals with bypassing shields, but only helps against enemies that are on the outer explosion that sometimes won't die. You know, cause if you get directly smacked by a bunch of rockets you should die.

Corrupted & Grineer: Total Damage - 15,523.2 | Average Hit - 44,553.0 | Burst DPS - 133,659.0 | Sustained DPS - 61,452.4 | Tested up to Level 145

The Elements for the Prisma Angstrum against the Corrupted and Grineer will be Viral/Heat. Viral amplifies health damage by 100% for 6 seconds and stacks up to 10 times for a total of 325%. Meanwhile, 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 is really good, but slower than the Infested and Corpus Factions. This is due to only using brute damage from Viral procs mixed with Heat armor stripping, but at least it works really well and is a Blast to use!

Infested: Total Damage - 16,732.8 | Average Hit - 48,024.7 | Burst DPS - 144,074.0 | Sustained DPS - 66,240.9 | Tested up to Level 145

The Elements for the Prisma Angstrum against the Infested will be Corrosive/Heat. Corrosive reduces armor by 26% for 8 seconds and stacks up to 10 times for a total of 80%. The Build's Flex Slot is [Lethal Torrent] and is just perfect. Any time there is innate Blast just slap some Corrosive on and watch the Infested melt, but of course the Heat is there for the normal low tier Infested enemies and the Prisma Angsturm is just a great sidearm against the Infested enemies. However, I wouldn't recommend taking it to Deimos...Blast doesn't do to well there.

Recommended Alternative Mods

  • Heated Charge - In place of Primed Heated Charge if you don't have it.

  • Pistol Gambit - In place of Primed Pistol Gambit if you don't have it.

  • Target Cracker - In place of Primed Target Cracker if you don't have it.

  • (Primed) Pistol Ammo Mutation - In place of having no Exilus mod. This will cost two more forma in order to have though, but can be good in order to keep up with the low ammo efficiency or to get ammo easier if you your companion dies.

  • Lethal Momentum - In place of having no Exilus mod. This will cost two more forma in order to have though, but is nice in order to make the rockets travel faster.

  • Ice Storm - In place of [Frostbite]. This will increase the Magazine Capacity, which will effectively increase Burst Damage at the cost of a bit of Cold Damage, Status Chance, and will make it so you need ammo more often.

  • (Primed) Fulmination - In place of The Build's Flex Slot to have some fun with Explosion radius. This also makes the weapon more efficient in lower levels and larger groups.

Non-Recommended Alternative Mods

  • (Primed) Expel Faction Mods - For once they don't actually do better than just stacking more Multishot with the weapon, so I would leave the Expel mods out of the picture.

  • Magnum Force - [Magnum Force]'s accuracy loss is disgusting on this weapon. Even at [Point Blank] range you will lose about 20% of the damage you could deal due to Rockets just veering off into the distance.

Synergy with Prisma Angstrum

There are several ways to enhance stats 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.

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

  • Mirage's Eclipse mixed with her Hall of Mirrors adds a Massive Damage bonus during the Day or in Light.

  • Equinox's Rest & Rage in Day Form makes targets more Vulnerable to Damage.

  • Banshee's Sonar gives a Huge Damage Multiplier.

  • Chroma's Vex Armor when Health gets damaged increases Weapon Damage.

Critical Stats:

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

  • Volt's Electric Shield when shot through adds a 200% Critical Damage Multiplier.

  • Zephyr's Passive increases Critical Chance by 150% while airborne.

  • Adarza Kavat with Cat's Eye can give a 60% Critical Chance boost.

  • Smeeta Kavat with Charm can give a 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.

  • Arcane Arachne - On Wall Latch, 150% Damage for 30 seconds.

Riven Synergy

When you get your hands on a Riven for this weapon the Flex Slot to replace will be [Lethal Torrent]. This will require 1 or 2 more Forma and in order to maximize Damage output with Prisma Angstrum, one will need to get lucky and get some nice stats. These stats would be:

  • Ideal Stats - The Ideal Stats would be; Damage, Multishot, Critical Damage, and Negative Zoom or Weapon Recoil.

  • Secondary Ideal Stats - The Next Best Stats would be; Critical Chance, Multishot, Critical Damage, and Negative Zoom or Weapon Recoil.
