100% Hemocyte/Eidolon/Lephantas Armor Strip

This build will strip Hemocyte armor in 3 shots. Using [High Noon]'s machine gun stance, HOLD E to fire TWICE for 15 shots total. This fires faster than [Bullet Dance]'s 4 shot trigger (EEEE) since you can chain HOLD E, HOLD E, HOLD E three times super fast with the mods above.

IMPORTANT: [True Steel] and Berserker are NOT maxed so you don't need to waste a forma here. You obviously never need max berserker because of how it scales.

Alternatively, if you like heavy attacks on either [High Noon] or [Bullet Dance], use [Amalgam Organ Shatter] + [Killing Blow] for faster attacks.

[Primed Fury] vs [Fury]: The difference is little but if you have [Primed Fury], put a forma into this weapon to fit it. Otherwise don't worry about it, the attack speed difference is not very big.

This build focuses on two things:

  1. Attack speed mods
  2. True Steel to proc Berserker
  3. Hold E stance to machine-gun burst the Hemocyte. Usually it takes 3 volleys unless you are [Mirage], then it takes only 1.

When to shoot Hemocyte? When the center torso belly of the Hemocyte is exposed when it WALKS out of the boil (and is still invulnerable) you can start firing at it. The HP bar will flicker RED when it has been stripped (3 volleys). This all happens before it actually becomes VUNERABLE. Then when the heads open up, you'll see it not longer has armor.

Technical Explainations:

  1. [Shattering Impact] is what strips armor here.
  2. Hemocyte is invulnerable to most status effects except for Impact status effect which is why this works
  3. Hemocyte is also vulnerable to CORROSIVE damage even after its armor is stripped. So use that element.
