Hello everyone,

My name is UltimoFive and today we are going over the [Euphona Prime], The Harmonic Blaster.

Weapon information

• [Euphona Prime] is a Standalone Prime Secondary Shotgun that was released alongside [Banshee Prime]. In order to obtain the [Euphona Prime] one must open a variety of relics that contain the Blueprint, Receiver, and Barrel in order to make it at the foundry.

• Euphona Prime requires a mastery rank of 14.

• Euphona Prime comes with 3 "V" Polarity Slots, plus a "V" Exilus Slot. Because of this, the builds on this weapon will require 2 - 3 Forma.

• Euphona Prime excels in Close to Medium Range Combat, dealing with Slightly-High Leveled Enemies of all factions against Single Targets and Small Crowds.

• [Euphona Prime] has an alternative fire, which when used shoots wider spread shots as a Buckshot. Meanwhile, the weapon's Primary Shot is a Slug used for longer range.

• Very High Critical Chance at 30%

• High Critical Multiplier at 2.5x

• Very High Status Chance at 9%

• Innate Multishot of 10 Pellets

Builds

Buckshot Build Set:

Corpus | 3 Forma| Tested up to Level 150

The Elements for the Euphona Prime against the Corpus will be Viral/Electricity. Electricity stuns the target for 3 seconds and deals 50% base damage per second for 6 seconds. The Build's Flex Slots are [Lethal Torrent] or [Convulsion] and works very well against all enemies on the Corpus side. The only real Exception is that the weapon doesn't perform as well against Robotic enemies. In which instead of taking 1 - 2 shots to kill, it can take 2 - 3 shots. Other than that, the weapon performs great against the Corpus.

Corrupted & Grineer | 2 Forma | Tested up to Level 150

The Elements for the Euphona Prime against the Corrupted and Grineer will be Viral/Slash. Viral amplifies health damage by 100% for 6 seconds and stacks up to 10 times for a total of 325%. Meanwhile, Slash's status effect is Bleed and after 1 second it deals 35% of the base damage per second for 6 seconds, which bypasses armor. The Build's Flex Slots are [Lethal Torrent] or [Carnis Stinger] and works surprisingly well against small squads of the Corrupted and Grineer. This is mainly due to the weapon's Buckshot applying tons of Slash and Viral Procs to just Bleed through enemy armor with ease.

Infested | 3 Forma| Tested up to Level 150

Gas:

Viral/Heat:

The Elements for the Euphona Prime against the Infested will be either Gas or Viral/Heat. Gas deals 50% base damage per second for 6 seconds in a 3 meter radius and stacks up to 10 times to a total of 6 meters. The Build's Flex Slots are [Primed Heated Charge] or [Lethal Torrent] and both Element Sets work very well, except with Gas coming out on top due to it being able to take out swarms of enemies. Essentially, Viral is more useful for smaller groups of Infested enemies in missions such as Extermination, while Gas is good in Endless Missions.

Normalized Build Set:

Corpus: 3 Forma

Corrutped & Grineer: 3 Forma

Infested: 3 Forma

The Elements for the Slug Shot of the Euphona Prime follows Viral/Electricity for the Corpus, Viral for the Corrupted & Grinner, and Corrosive or Viral/Heat for the Infested. The Flex Slot for the Corpus will be [Convulsion], [Carnis Stinger] for the Corrupted and Grineer, and [Primed Heated Charge] for the Infested. These Builds are made for those who want to use both fires of the [Euphona Prime] and not just use the Buckshot Alternative Fire like the other Builds. However, these Builds aren't as strong as the previous Builds and should really only be taken into Non-Steel Path Missions and against level 130 or under enemies.

Recommended Alternative Mods

• (Primed) Pistol Ammo Mutation - In place of Lethal Momentum in order to help with the weapon's poor Ammo Reserves. However, this will require 1 - 2 more Forma.

• Sure Shot - In place of Galvanzied Shot if one doesn't have access to the mod through Arbitration or doesn't have it.

• Barrel Diffusion - In place of Galvanzied Diffusion if one doesn't have access to the mod through Arbitration or doesn't have it.

• Target Cracker - In place of Primed Target Cracker if one doesn't have it.

• Pistol Gambit - In place of Primed Pistol Gambit if one doesn't have it.

• Heated Charge - In place of Primed Heated Charge if one doesn't have it.

• Expel Faction Mods - In place of their Primed Counterparts if one doesn't have them.

• Maim or Razor Shot - In place of Carnis Stinger if one doesn't have it.

• Magnum Force - In place of the Build's Expel Faction Mod if one don't like using Faction Mods.

• Ice Storm - In place of [Frostbite] if one would like more Rounds in their Magazine and are okay with sacrificing some Cold Damage and Status Chance.

Synergy with Euphona Prime

There are several ways to enhance Critical Stats 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.

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

• Mirage's Eclipse 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.

• Yareli's Passive increases Critical Chance by 200% after moving around for at least 1.5 seconds.

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

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

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

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

Secondary Arcanes:

• Secondary Merciless - On Kill 30% Damage for 12 seconds, which stacks up to 4 times and comes with 30% Reload Speed and 100% Max Ammo.

• Secondary Dexterity - On Melee Kill 60% Damage for 20 seconds, which stacks up to 6 times and comes with 7.5 seconds Combo Duration and 60% Holster Speed. This is Arcane is much easier to maintain over Secondary Merciless, but it comes with fewer advantages over Merciless as well.

Riven Synergy

When you get your hands on a Riven for this weapon the Flex Slot to replace will be what was previously discussed before. This may require 1 - 2 more Forma and in order to maximize Damage output with the Euphona Prime, one will need to get lucky and get some nice stats. My ideal stats would be:

Ideal Faction Stats - My Ideal Stats would be; Multishot, Critical Damage, Critical Chance, and Negative Zoom or Weapon Recoil.
