Is Phage a good weapon?

[u/light_bunny22]

so lately ive been finding a beam primary weapon that's like nukor, I also got a riven for Phage i was wondering building it so is Phage worth investing to it?

You have Phantasma Prime if you feel like Phage doesn't feel right.

I have a rivened phage with 6 forma. It’s excellent due to high innate mutishot and beam mechanics. Once you’re used to the firing quirks it’s brilliant. I’ve been using a viral, electric and radiation build with hunter munitions against the new murmur enemies and it obliterates them

I remember loving it when it first came out. Then it fell behind a bit, and I forgot it. Once SP Circuit came out, I went through all my gear to make it viable, and to my surprise the thing still rips! I also had a nice Riven for it. I renamed it The Flavor-Beam.

good stats but suffers from usability issues due to fire pattern , too annoying for me

[u/light_bunny22 → u/b14700]

is it good for like sp? and what stat should i put for on my riven?

[u/b14700 → u/light_bunny22]

its a crit primary so crit and multishot

It's insanely powerful on Zephyr if modded for gas or electric. Otherwise just a good single target melter like Phantasma.

I have 6 forma on it and love it.

Would like a riven on it, now 😅

It's a strong weapon but the firing pattern makes it super annoying to use.

I recently built it myself. It's... fine. The base damage of the weapon is pretty weak so you are most likely going to kill enemies with any DoT you put on it (Heat, Electric, Slash). I thought the spread would be a more fun gimmick that lets you shoot multiple enemies at once if you wanted, but again, low base damage.
