The Phantasma Prime is a beam shotgun that comes with high multishot stats and can deliver its payload with pinpoint accuracy. However, its only downside is its limited max ammo, which can become a hindrance due to its high rate of fire. Therefore, when choosing mods for the Phantasma Prime, our primary focus should be on mitigating its ammo limits and increasing its status effects. Here are the best mods to use on the Phantasma Prime in Warframe.
- Shotgun Ammo Mutation (Exilus): Converts secondary ammo pickup to 50% ammo pickup.
- Galvanized Savvy: +80% status chance on death, +40% additional direct damage per status effect on target. (Stacks up to 2x)
- Galvanized Hell: +110% Multishot on kill, +30% Multishot for 20 seconds. (Stacks up to 4x)
- Toxic Barrage: +60% Toxin, +60% Status Chance
- Frigid Blast: +60% cold, +60% status chance
- Primed Cleanse Grineer / Primed Cleanse Corrupted: +55% Damage to Grineer / Corrupted
- Primed Charged Hull: +165% Electricity
- Shell Shock: +60% Electricity, +60% Status Chance
- Blaze: +60% damage, +60% heat
- Master Deadhead (Arcane Enhancement): +120% damage for 24 seconds on precision headshots. (Stacks up to 3x)
In relation: Warframe – Riven Mods, I explained
This build requires three Formas to match the mod's max capacity. With the ability to proc Impact, Radiation, Heat, and Viral damage, Status Effects are the key damage element of the Phantasma Prime. Additionally, increasing the Multishot stat inherently increases beam damage and status effect chance. Finally, to keep the build flexible, you can replace the Faction mod (Primed Cleanse Grineer/Corrupted) with Vigilante Armaments to improve your primary weapon's multi and critical hits.
