Quills + Vox amp guidebook

[btant]

Courtesy to people necroing same thread a year ago, I thought it'd be appropriate to do the same thing this year, but with fortuna parts this time around

Obviously, we have 21 parts at current, way too many to talk about, so I'll just stick to the relevant combinations and parts this time.
We'll start with specialty combinations

 

- Eidolon hunting: Lega - Shraksun - Certus / Klamora - Shraksun - Certus.
Explanation: You need crit chance in eidolon hunt. Lots of it. Shraksun and Certus has a very high base cc, and it hits multiple time so you roll it many time. Consistently good.
Contrary to popular belief, prism DOES matter, as outside the dps role, you'll need a fast-firing prism to dump your void strike charges. Lega and Klamora qualifies.

Honorable mentions: Rahn - Shraksun - Lohrin. Previously the meta amp, it has been upstaged. Despite that, it only require quills rep to acquire. Good even up to 6x3, but not as consistent.
Klamora/Lega - Propa - Certus. Boasting 80cc with virtuos shadow, it stands at even higher cc than shraksun. Despite that, it only hit once, which is VERY inconsistent when it comes to 1 shotting eidolon shield. Good for memeing with magus melt to 1 shot eidolon limb WITH THE AMP ITSELF

 

- Profit - Taker: Raplak/Rahn/Cantic - Phahd - Any brace.
Explanation: Phahd will kill every pylons in 1 hit. Needless to explain, you want that. As to why the prism are the tier 1, 4, 5, they're all long-range prism that make changing the shield element easier from a distance.

 

Right, that's pretty much outta the way, let's talk about individual parts, but only some of them.
I'll only talk about braces. Why? They're like mods for a weapon. They provide stat deviation for your weapon, which means many weapon with same base stat can use the same mod setup. Only this time, it's braces.

 

- Plaga brace: Yours truly go-to brace for your everyday amps need. This thing. Is. Overpowered. Your charge delay go from a dreadful 2s straight down to 0.5s. This means certain firing mode even fire slower than your ammo would start to regenerate. No kiddin'. Many firing mode has ammo problems because how the ammo pool work for amps, and this brace will alleviate all of it.
It HAS a demerit, but your madurai passive will counter it no problem, with even more ammo to spare than the base 100.

Obviously pairs well with firing mode with ammo problems, but it works for everything. What I recommend: Klamora prism, Phahd scaffold, Dissic scaffold (dissic plaga is absolutely smashing)

 

- Certus brace: This is for people who want to see body dropping. Pure and simple 20cc added to your amp.
Very nice offensive setup for fire mode with good ammo economy like raplak and cantic.

 

Arcanes: There's only 3 you really need to care about: Virtuos Shadow, Virtuos Fury and Virtuos Trojan.

- Virtuos shadow: Essential for eidolon hunt. Boost your crit chance by 60%. THIS IS NOT A FLAT BUFF, FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME.
- Virtuos fury: Very nice for every amp, including eidolon hunts, but obviously just a fodder choice until you get shadow. Works on everything, and is pretty much serration for your amp.
- Virtuos trojan: Breaks away from your void damage multiplier against grineer, and strong viral procs to half enemies' health. This is arguably straight upgrade from virtuos fury, but it doesn't work for eidolon hunts.

 

Wow, that took a long time. Not very newbie friendly guide, I know, but it's what the meta is. AMA in reply
