My seer hits him for 589 damage (+ 2x 49 damage for the extra projectiles, for some reason they do lower damage with any weapon on him) a shot. Using the standard mods and corrosive damage. The corrosive damage does not do extra damage (or if it does, negligible) to his first phase, the corrosive weakness only counts on the second. The best secondaries I've used for him were Seer, Wvipers, Aklex, Castanas and Marelok.

Since my 3 forma Grakata does well against him, your Soma should do better. All the snipers (including bows), launchers, and shotguns are sub-par at best and terrible at worst. Shotguns, including Akbronco and Brakk being ineffective against him. I didn't try Phage.

Amprex/Synapse, Grakata/Soma, Burston/Latron/Boltor Prime, are the best primaries from my testing. Flux isn't terrible either. Supra is aweful, Cestras are aweful

Your best option is to use a low damage burst weapon with high crit and crit modifier (Amprex, Wvipers, Grakata, Soma), or use a med-high damage sustained fire weapon (Seer, Aklex, Castanas, Bur/Lat/Boltor).

My experience is from running him 25-30 times(in the last 2 days), every weapon I used had a catalyst. Most had forma.
