This weapon is a monster with the right riven. After lots of testing, a viral + hunter munitions build is deff the best build. You need the riven to save yourself two slots, punch through is alost a must as every new enemy hit procs a new arc of electricity. I suggest getting a riven with the following stats: CC or CD, punch through, toxin or cold, a negative. That way you can put a pure elemental mod instead of the status one, thus dealing more damage. It is worth mentioning that with this build it becomes the perfect partner for Saryn. Her spores rework is a godsend for this weapon. Spores will constantly lower the enemy's armor, while the viral and constant slash will kill them, make sure to activate toxic slash and you melt anything in seconds, even Noxes die so ridiculously quickly.

Here's my build:

Serration, Heavy Caliber, Infected Clip, Point Strike, Vital Sense, Split Chamber, Hunter Munitions, Riven. The riven stats are: +2.4 punch through (easily replacing metal auger) +138% critical chance (I deal orange crits all the time) +74.8% Cold -44.5% Zoom

The total crit chance is 124.2%

The downside? I needed 7 freaking formas to put everything, most of those mods require a lot of capacity, but in the end, it was worth it.

With this build the easiness with which you kill enemies goes infested > grineer > corpus. The constant viral and slash melts infested super quickly, grineers also die quiet fast, but still a bit slower than infested, though if you're using Saryn, it won't matter. Finally, corpus, they take longer to kill than the other two factions due to the shields, but thanks to the electricity and high dps, they still die very quickly while being stunlocked.

With all this said and done, it's still a weapon not suited for every situation. It won't be replacing the hyper monster that is Tigris Prime when it comes to doing Index and killing bosses. But if you're doing survival, defense, anything but bossing and index, then the amprex is your guy. Its crowd damage is top tier.
