Hello LT. I feel the need to write that you should probably ask yourself a couple of questions about your build and want you want from the weapon:

- You've posted a zero-forma build here, is that all you are prepared to invest in the Supra Vandal? In other words, do you consider this build "finished"?

- What is your intention for this weapon? For example, are you using it for general play at low level, or against a certain faction or enemy type, and/or do you wish to take on high-level content with it?

- What gear are you using alongside this weapon (Warframe and Companion i.e. kavat/kubrow/sentinel)?

You will understand that I am someone who only upgrades weapons to their full capability - I forma few weapons, but spend 6 or 7 forma on each one. Therefore, my opinion is that your build is unfinished at this point - you even have a mod slot unoccupied!

If you are looking to not invest any forma in the Supra Vandal, I think your build is reasonable for low-level content - Level 40 and under perhaps - with suitable changes in elemental damage according to enemy faction. Viral has no signifcant downsides but you might find corrosive or radiation more effective against grineer. To leave such a potentially powerful weapon a fraction what it could be however is almost criminal in my opinion however.

My personal preference with the Supra Vandal is to concentrate on damage per round rather than fire rate, as in my experience this helps with ammo economy at higher level content. If you want to build for high content you will a suitable plan to exploit its maximum potential as well. For instance, I use a 7-forma crit/status hybrid build with a +multishot +status chance riven alongside an Adarza Kavat with the Cat's Eye buff.

I encourage you to experiment with builds for yourself using Warframe Builder: http://warframe-builder.com/Primary_Weapons/Builder/Supra_Vandal. Good luck to you, Lone Tenno.
