What is the best Cetus Amp combo?

[BethTheBean]

Good evening.

Nightwave has me killing Lysts again, so I'm working on my Quills faction. With the amp pieces offered on Cetus, what is the best combination currently?

Thank you for your time.

Someting like x23?

I've seen people recommending the Raplak prism lately, haven't really done Eidolons for a while so not sure why.

Yeah the most popular is X23 or x27, some use X77 if im not mistaken, and there's this tips flying on the intenet,
Amp has 3 parts its,

Prism = P is Primary Fire

Scaffold = S is Secondary Fire

Brace = B is Bonus.

This helps a lot, and I knew you already know this, only Prism count as Mastery rank, so 111, 123, 127, only have 1 mastery rank there ^^

high Damage, high Range, Crits consistently, Et Cetera.
a good tool to have, and way better than Shotgun (Shwaak) ever, ever, was.

I've made an amp of a Raplak/Shraksun/Lorhrin , some time ago. I wonder if was any good?

if you like that Scaffold type vs the other option, sure. up to you which you prefer, with their drastically different playstyles.

I've been using the Shwaak 223 combo, and it does fine, especially for clearing out Vomvalysts in wide bursts using the alt-fire mode.

if you're Killing Vomvalysts with the Scaffold
what benefit is that Prism offering you, at all? in any way?

Less aiming required while running around, high status chance for the Impact damage. Good for soloing Ropalolyst and its shields go down super quick.

but you just said that you use the Scaffold for basically everything.

also i don't really follow how a Prism with tiny, tiny Range is good for birbdolon when the thing will easily be 40 or 50 Meters off the ground(and has poor Crits so Damage is 'eh') fairly often.

 

like, i'm not telling you what to do here, but your reasons why it's benefiting you, don't seem to make sense.
