Last Updated on September 9, 2026

Chroma’s the default pick here: Vex Armor scales purely off Strength, and Effigy doubles your credit payout. Volt’s the runner-up, mainly for speed.

WeaponWhy
MausolonHighest sustained DPS archgun; default pick for the armor phase.
Imperator VandalFallback when you lack Chroma’s buffs; strong crit/status build with easy ammo economy.
Tenet DetronShotgun pellets tag multiple shield weak points per blast; out-damages Kuva Nukor without Arcane Avenger.
VelocitusMounted on a Necramech, reliably one-shots exposed weak points.
ZenithSemi-auto fire pierces terrain and shield bubbles, hitting Pylon-phase weak points other archguns can’t reach.

Chroma: buffs that cost nothing

Vex Armor turns damage into weapon and armor buffs, scaling purely off Strength. Effigy doubles your credit payout too.

Strength: maxDuration: highEfficiency: midRange: low

No Prime required, and base Chroma handles this fine.

Volt: shield phase, gone in seconds

Electric Shield primes every shot with a guaranteed Electricity proc. Shock Trooper throws squad-wide damage on demand.

Strength: maxDuration: highEfficiency: midRange: low

Works unmodded too, just pair it with any crit rifle.

Saryn: two weaknesses, one cast

Toxic Lash adds guaranteed Toxin damage to every hit, and Venom Dose stacks Corrosive right on top of that.

Strength: maxDuration: midEfficiency: midRange: low

Base Saryn with a Toxin weapon gets the job done.

Revenant: the one-shot stops mattering

Mesmer Skin reflects incoming hits back at attackers. The augment shares that immunity with the whole squad.

Strength: maxDuration: midEfficiency: midRange: low

Rank 30 with zero forma already trivializes this fight.

Lavos: no build required

His kit already covers four elements, so there’s no remodding between rotations. No energy pool either, which means Magnetic barely touches him.

Strength: highDuration: midEfficiency: midRange: low

Cheap, low-investment, and no Prime required.

Wisp: everyone else hits harder

Reservoirs hand the squad regen, speed and damage buffs all at once. Breach Surge strips enemy resistance on top.

Strength: highDuration: highEfficiency: midRange: high

Works fine at rank 30 with barely any modding.

Honorable mentions

  • Mesa: clears adds, weak on boss
  • Xaku: Void damage can’t shift weakness
  • Rhino: common Roar substitute for Eclipse
  • Trinity: pure energy and health support
