Weapon For Ivara Artemis

[LevisLeon]

What is a suitable weapon for obstacles for her Artemis? Is rakta cernos a good choice because I am aiming to get it when I reach the final rank for my syndicate. Thanks for your help if you see this.

Any Primary weapon will work, as only mods are taken into consideration and affects the power damage(other than frame mods); weapon stats themselves do not count.

 

The only difference between a rifle/shotgun and a bow is that you can use Thunderbolt and get its effect added to Artemis!

Choose a good primary rifle/bow that can take the speed mod(s), crit mods, and damage/punchthrough mods. Shotguns are a bad choice due to Artemis not taking shotgun mods.

I personally use the daikyu because of its synergy with speed and damage mods.

Shred/speed trigger is a good combo because of the punchthrough. Typical mods too, like sertation, heavy Cal, and split chamber. Heavy Cal doesn't affect it's accuracy. Split chamber makes it stupid as well since it turns it into a shotgun bow.

Point strike and other crit mods are great. Elements are nice for the damage, but you won't be getting status effects. It's status chance is abysmal.

You can also change shred/trigger for the 90% fire rate/-15% dmg mod (can't remember name), but that's up to you.

Syndicate mods do NOT carry over into the Artemis. That includes cernos.

Burston prime, dread, Paris prime, daikyu, and sybaris are the weapons I tend to use with it.

Use a weapon that you'll be moving to when you either run out of energy, or meet a nullifier. Artemis is miserable against them and having a good primary to quick switch to could be a life saver.

shot guns do not work at all with artemis bow atm ill start with that
weapons that work well with her bow however are primarily other bows as they capitalize on the same mods as the artemis bow. use dread if you want the horizontal spread to turn faster since dread uses speed mods or use rakta cernos if you want to hit like a truck but have to charge up that turn if you want a horizontal slot. hammershot ftw ladies and gentlemen
