Warframe - Is It Really Phantasma?

Being the revenants signature shotgun this thing is visually amazing, shoots a goo/beam/lazerish/whatever not a normal shotty based thing and has a secondary mode that shoots a lump sum of those rounds as a grenade that will spend more time downing you than it will taking down enemy's.

But honestly, with the almost instant reload, the small magazine is not that noticeable and saves this thing alot!

10 sentient cores really aren't hard to obtain.

[GrimmShard]

10 sentient core = less than 5 minutes behind Terry.

[Perral]

You really put a lot of value in 1000 quills standing.

[ek]

you can get 10 sentient cores in less than 5 minutes or you can just destroy an eidolon and get even more in about 10 minutes

[wailfulcrab]

It's just 10 vomvalysts. It's only worse for people that rig can't handle the Plains.

This weapon shines as a tactical status sprayer. Focus on radiation for CC, corrosion for armor stripping, gas and magnetic for straight up corpus slaughter and any variety as a set up for condition overload melee weapons. Actually, at high level that's how it worked best for me. Hit a group of targets with a secondary shot, spray them while closing and finish with melee.

Fun factor is high, that's what matters to me but I don't see this becoming a meta weapon anytime soon. Still, a good addition to the game.

I don't know if you knew this, but ye know the explosions send out a bunch of seeking explosives at nearby enemies? and if you fully charge the shot, even more seeking bombs come out, best I can explain it is the needler from Halo, the things seek into enemies and explode doing a bunch of damage. I use the secondary fire for crowds and primary on single annoying enemies, or down a tight hallway. It's a really good weapon, extremely easy to craft, and self harm is super rare if you can aim correctly. I'll be using this weapon a lot, I like the visuals a lot, and it's still a really good weapon to use. I hardly ever go into sorties and such, so it's not like I need an "end game" build.

If you fully charge the alternate fire shot, the grenade will send out multiple projectiles similar to Oberon's first ability

[monochromeart]

you can charge the shots of the secondery fire mode for more dmg... and when the granades of the secondery fire mode explode they release homing energy balls that attack enemies.

FYI multishot unfortunately does not effect status on beam weapons. On beams status is only applied to the initial stream itself the multishot effect in the stream is only applied to its damage attributes and criticals. I wish this was different but if you think about it given how powerful the beams are already it makes sense as it would make them completely overpowered. If you go through the beam weapons on the wiki this concept is outlined quite well in most of them if not all.
Though I really like the weapon straight up I love the unique synergies you can create in this game between the grouping of different frames, the pairing of certain frames and their abilities with certain weapons, and now even unique weapon and frame builds and the mod sets that were introduced recently (ie Umbra Wokong + dual keres or hurudos with their high crit damage + blood rush & gladiator mods). I see the Phantasma and especially it’s secondary working amazingly well especially at higher levels with condition overload melees and frames like Zephyr where you can hover up high dropping bombs and turbulence increase the primary’s range, Mirage with her Hall of Mirrors, or through a volt shield mitigating the secondaries self damage and increasing the range of the primary. One thing I believe you did not discuss is that the secondary upon explosion launches out a bunch of enemy seeking orbs similar to Oberon’s Smite.
Personally I really enjoy the self damaging risk vs reward weapons all the way back to the days where we posted up on the lights and four corners of the derelict defense with a Penta or Ogrus plus a vortex Vaubon (remember when it was the hot spot for players 😬).

[aeronark]

again, intact sentient cores take about as long to get as nano spores.

[lecorny]

As a main Zarr blaster, im in love with this gun.

[mikeoshea]

Full charged alt fire sends out homing shot after explosion after the bombs explode.

[Whynot-wfck]

Phantasma comes from the greek word "Φάντασμα" which means ghost.

[marsfab]

Has anybody else been using there weapons as status procking machine for condition overload.

[Rangerdp]

The build is close but so far from good, run blast corrosive and you still get the radiation, just throw the 90% electric or toxin mod on the dash slot, Boom super good weapon, gives it armor strip like crazy and 2 different CC. The impact is just useless.

I’m liking your reviews on all of this new and recent stuff do more

[fizzybitzobacon]

This gun is excellent for practically any situation. Just aim. You might have better but this thing is crazy good. (Sentient cores are easy for new players to get and if they've just finished war within this will be the best gun they have)
