Eidolons - x77 amp - killing my operator

[BlinkandDie]

Hey guys I stopped playing back when there was only 1 eidolon, and I've been absolutely loving the three different ones. 

I've just recently built the x77 amp that shoots a little ball that explodes after a while in a big aoe. When I watch videos of people using this amp they don't wait for the explosion to go off (it deals damage immediately) but doesn't damage the operator. How do they get this right? Because I'm constantly killing my operator.

Wow Columbus discovered America.

Also as a side note, this amp doesn't seem the best for soloing? I guess it's best in groups because each VS user can one shot the shield. 

Is there a different amp I could use for solo runs?

[THeMooN85]

Yes.

For Example: https://semlar.com/ampcalc/627

People says that combined Cetus and Fortuna parts are bugged but I can't confirm that. For me everything is fine.

But if you feel it's bugged, just stick with: https://semlar.com/ampcalc/323

Nice, thank you. And primary or alt fire for 627?

For Eidolons? Alt fire of course. Primary fire is good for Vomvalysts.
