CODEX

Fashioned with Grineer materials and balanced for marine infantry use, the Amphis is a traditional staff weapon that has received a monstrous makeover that enables shock damage on jump attacks. Connects with multiple enemies with each strike.

The Amphis is a  Grineer staff with high  Impact damage and produces  Electricity damage on Slam Attacks. It is a favored weapon of Grineer Guardsmen and Prosecutors.

This weapon can be sold for 5,000 Credits 5,000. It is also a requisite ingredient for the  Sydon.

Trivia

• Until Update 13.0 (2014-04-09), the Amphis was not used by any Grineer unit. This would be a little over 1 year between the Amphis's introduction (February 22, 2013) and Guardsmen being added into the game (April 10, 2014).
• On Jump attacks, the Amphis releases six small streams of electricity that each travel outwards lead by a sparking orb. This cosmetic effect is shared with the  Prova.
