I just got it and man....this might already be my new favourite sidearm(note:Imma pistol fanboy)
its decent, the critchance and statuschance doesnt seem to be overpowered and all in all a good investment for fighting corpus.
its definetelly not a handcannon like lex since the firerate is way to high and the basedmg of 45 to low
all in all a perfect weapon in my book :)

It's decent overall.

 

Pros

- 1-2 shot Grineer/Corpus Infantry up to level 25 (r8 Hornet Strike+respective weakness)

- 2-3 shot Grineer Heavies around lvl 25 with at least one crit to the face.

- Named after me.

 

Cons

- Somewhat difficult to level off the ground

- It feels like it needs a potatoe from the get-go to bring out its potential.

- Inaccurate. Best use at the breach of Medium Range. (Duals [upon release] may suffer a great penalty)

- Deals with Corpus half-decently. For being specialized to Corpus, it feels rather weak.

you do realise everyones babyboy the Soma is a 1/2/2 more or less, right?

 

Well the soma is different(mostly because of the crit) but more or less because the soma is built like.

 

 

1/4/5.

 

Leaving two types to be really good with the third being mediocre.

 

The magnus, is unfortunately pretty bad statwise because of the 20/12/12

 

Meaning that it doesn't have TWO strong suits and one badone, it has 1 mediocre and 2 low.

 

 

Its really just a better than the sicarus prime tbh.(without the burst fire).

 

-----------

 

Not a bad gun, but not something I'm going to pour 3-4 forma into.

It was a little mis interpretation on my part. >.>

 

When 1/2/2 was first mentioned, they more intended as x/y/y where x>y, and I read it as 1:2:2, where the first damage is less than the second two that are about equal.

 

1/4/5 is literally the Soma's base damage Stats. (1 Impact, 4 Puncture, 5 Slash.)

Does it have polarities? what about crit stats?

V Polarity x1.

20% Crit rate with x2.0 damage

 

Critical strikes do some serious damage. was hitting 3k-5k on Grineer.

It'll probably do more verse Corpus, but I hate dealing with shields and Shield Osprey swarms. : /
