User:EG AbyssWalker/6 Forma Prisma Gorgon Build

This is a six Forma build for the Prisma Gorgon. The weapon has a high rate of fire (after a short windup) and a decent crit-chance, with a %5 status chance. Since the mods in Warframe stack multiplicatively (most of the time), building the weapon for status doesn't make much sense. With its base %15 crit-chance, I built the weapon for crit. Although, even with a maxed point strike you can only get a %37.5 chance to crit, and anther way to boost that is with the Argon Scope mod. With Argon scope it boosts your %37.5 crit-chance to %57.5 crit-chance while aiming down sights after you land a head shot. So if you wish to use argon scope you can replace the Bane mod or Shred if you're not a fan of punch through. The only other mod that increases Crit-chance on rifles (to my knowledge) is Critical Delay which at max rank increases crit-chance by %48 but decreases fire rate by -%36 (x2 for bows), This mod helps with the Prisma Gorgon's ammo economy but drastically decreases the damage output. A %48 increase to the Prisma Gorgon crit chance only increases its crit-chance by %7.2. Its a waste of a mod slot to have this mod in, even though it helps with ammo economy, its not enough to justify this over any other mod on the list.

So with the Polarities you want 5 Madurai (v) and one Naramon (-), 6 Formas are necessary on the Prisma Gorgon because all the mods this weapon will use are very expensive. This is due to the gun not being able to use the dual stat mods effectively so you have to use the 11 cost elemental mods. This build also has room for you to replace the normal bane mod with a primed bane mod with 1 mod point to spare. Its important you dont put 2 Naramon polarities on the gun even though it will save you a forma for this build in particular. You wouldn't be able to put on Cryo Rounds so it takes away from some of the flexibility the build has.

Now while fighting against the Corrupted you can replace the Bane mod with Bladed Rounds. This increases the crit damage by %120 while aiming down sights after a head shot. That boosts your crit-multiplier from 4.4x to 6.8x the damage. For the Elemental against corrupted I always go Corrosive, it does the most damage against Ancients and wears the armor off of the tougher Grineer enemies, and although it doesnt do particularly well against the Corpus Corrupted units the worst you get from them is a nullifier. (which the Gorgon does great against due to its high fire rate).

So the Prisma Gorgon isn't the best weapon in its class, its' fun factor is what made me want to make it a decent weapon. There's nothing quite like throwing a wall of bullets at your enemies with a shiny minigun.
