So you've finally hit MR 6, huh? Well...it's about time for the only primary you're going to need to pull out of your foundry until either you complete the star chart or you want to invest in the [Soma Prime].

First off, this is a [Hunter Munitions] build, which means we're looking to apply slash procs on targets and bypass their armor as much as possible. This also means we need to apply Viral to deal as much armor ignoring damage as possible with the bleed effect of slash status.

Following that, since we don't want to waste Steel Essence on a normal [Soma] and this is for early game content anyway, we're looking to use [Serration] for the time being as our way to get base damage to make the bleed ticks stronger.

[Split Chamber] is there just as a mod that any player still working through base star chart can get their hands on and will increase the base damage in a multiplicative sense as opposed to using something like [Heavy Caliber], which would be additive to [Serration]. We wanna multiply and get big numbers every time!

The last two mods are our crit chance and damage mods, they're just there for bigger numbers and stronger slash procs. If you don't have [Critical Delay], [Point Strike] will work fine until you can get it.

If you've chosen to skip the base Soma for the Soma Prime, the build for that is linked here: https://overframe.gg/build/526788/
