It has a high status and a good critical chance, so if you build towards crowd control it becomes useful. Besides maybe a tonkor or synoid simulor, its one of the best weapons for infested defense built this way.

The clouds range without mods is fairly small, so try hitting an enemy directly with the grenade (you will deal the damage listed int he UI anyway if you do remember the clouds are 40 toxin/sec at base)

I recommend bringing a high damage slash pistol like the pyrana or aksomati and build them for viral damage, and once the cloud gets a group of enemies knocked down whip our your slash secondary and get them while their armor is low or gone. If you have vauban, it makes this trivial, just shoot in the vortex and their armor will vanish in seconds.

It's similar to the Paracyst in a way, it's one of the best status rifles int he game for quickly removing armor, but dosn't do massive damage once the armor is gone, but you can quickly switch to your secondary that dosn't have much status and deal more damage.
