Launch energy discs that ricochet off victims and surfaces, vectoring toward a new target with every strike.

—In-game Description

The Phahd Scaffold is a scaffold used in Amp construction, that allows the weapon to perform an alternate secondary fire function (default Mouse 3 ). When fired, the Phahd fires a energy glaive that automatically homes in and bends towards its target. Allowing multiple targets to be hit, up to 4 times.

The blueprint is sold by the Quills for 10,000 Standing 10,000 at Instrument rank or higher. It is also a possible rank-up reward upon advancing to Instrument rank with the Quills.

Characteristics

This weapon deals exclusively damage.

Advantages:

• Very high base damage.
  • Innate  damage – effective against Sentient-type enemies.
    • Can reset any damage adaptation built up by Battalysts, Conculysts and Shadow Stalker.
    • Can damage Teralyst, Gantulyst, and Hydrolyst's impervious shields.
    • Can destroy the otherwise impervious Vomvalyst's spectral form.
• Can hit up to 4 enemies with one shot.
• Can be aiming slightly off, and still hit the enemies due to the homing mechanic.
• Infinite range
• High critical chance.
• High status chance. 
• Moderate energy economy.
• Does not use ammo pickups; energy regenerates over time.
  • Has a 2 second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating energy.
    • Regenerates 30 energy per second; takes 3.33 seconds to regenerate a fully depleted energy meter.

Disadvantages:

• Innate  damage – less effective against Cloned Flesh, Machinery, and Fossilized.
• Projectiles have travel time.
• Sometimes the homing mechanic doesn't work even when aiming directly at the enemies (Possible Bug).
• Sometimes the disc does not bounce to the next enemy (Possible Bug).

Trivia

• This scaffold was unintentionally released in Update 22.18 (2018-04-20) and was removed in the subsequent hotfix. Amps built with the Phahd Scaffold at the time stayed in players' inventories.
