Amprex or Soma Prime

[Yusif854]

Title. Which is better for killing 300 level enemies where amprex's chaining becomes useless? Because when I ask this people say amprex because it chains and kills a lot of enemies at once. So I put a high level where amprex's chaining becomes useless. (Don't tell this is better because rivens. This is without rivens!!!)

Soma Prime is still the best but Amprex can do really well don´t know about lvl 300 enemies tough because when do you fight this high lvl enemies?

oh and also this is Amprax without damage mods

Well, amprex can do status procs (corrosive, for example) more reliably, compared to soma prime. Amprex also can hit more than 1 enemy without mods for it, while soma prime requires 1 slot for it (shred).

Only gripe is continuous weapons suck in ticking damage, and needs a buff.

uhm, at a mission where 300 lvl enemies spawn, both of the soma p and amprex will be useless, whole mag and ammo wont even be able to half the enemies' health, and if you just stand there and shoot them, they will just instakill you if they are 300lvl... at that point, all i can suggest is use naramon shadow step with galatine prime etc...

Yeah at 300 you will go through all your ammo with both and not really get anywhere. At that point in the game both weapons are irrelevant.

Soma Prime with a borderline insane status/crit build where you use headshot crits to proc slash DoTs.

If you use shred on Amprex and hit multiple enemies with the main beam each enemy hit will produce additional arcs.  The damage stacks up crazy high if you can hit 3 or more with the main beam.  I'm using a Riven with crit chance, multishot, and punchthrough.
