Build it. The Kompressa Prime offers exceptional status application and area denial. Its primary weakness is its low critical chance, which limits direct damage scaling.
The Kompressa Prime fires explosive, water globules that engulf foes.
The Kompressa Prime is Yareli Prime’s signature secondary weapon, introduced in Update 38.6. This automatic pistol is designed to apply status effects rapidly and control crowds with its explosive projectiles.
Glinting with a golden aesthetic, the Kompressa Prime launches virulent water globules that detonate on impact, spreading status effects in an area. This makes it a strong contender for builds focused on elemental damage and crowd control.
Its high status chance and automatic trigger allow for consistent application of debuffs, making it a valuable asset in missions where enemy resilience is a factor. The weapon’s unique projectile behavior sets it apart from other secondaries.

The Kompressa Prime has a riven disposition of 0.6, which is considered low. This means rivens for this weapon will provide smaller stat bonuses compared to weapons with higher dispositions. Despite this, its strong base stats for status make it viable without a high-disposition riven.
Builds
Given its high status chance and low critical chance, the Kompressa Prime excels with a status-focused build. Prioritize elemental damage and multishot to maximize the number of status procs per shot. Viral and Heat are excellent choices for general use, or Corrosive for armor stripping. The explosive projectiles benefit from area-of-effect enhancements.
