Afentis

Primary / Flexible DPS

Styanax’s speargun matches his might. Throw Afentis to pin an enemy and nearby enemies will also be stunned. Throw Afentis onto the ground to buff nearby allies with Ballistarii Might. The buff increases reload speed, fire rate, and ammo pools and reduces recoil. Allies who kill enemies with Ballistarii Might maintain the buff temporarily when they move away from Afentis.

Weapon dossier

Verified 2026-07-23

Playstyle

Styanax’s speargun matches his might. Built as a primary / flexible dps option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

Afentis is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

When to Pick

  • You want a Rifle that fits a primary / flexible dps play pattern.
  • Your loadout needs what Afentis does well — check Mission Usefulness below before investing Forma.
  • You’re ready to Catalyze / Forma it if you plan to main it on Steel Path.

Attack Modes

  • Semi

    Impact 20 · Slash 20 · Puncture 60

  • Radial Attack

    Blast 800

    AoE · Crit 26% / 2.2× · Status 10% · Fire Rate 0.83 · Falloff 0–3m (−20%)

  • Spear Throw (Projectile): Impact 240.0, Slash 40.0, Puncture 120.0.

Upgrades

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.

  • Orokin CatalystCapacity

    Doubles mod capacity so endgame builds fit.

    Usually the first permanent upgrade on a weapon you plan to main.

  • FormaPolarity

    Adds or changes polarities so matching mods cost half capacity.

    expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.

  • Exilus Weapon AdapterSlot

    Unlocks utility options (Exilus on guns; melee focuses on stance polarity + utility mods).

    Install when you need ammo, handling, or QoL without sacrificing damage slots.

  • Primary Arcane AdapterArcane

    Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.

    Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.

  • Riven ModRiven

    Unique rolled mod. Disposition 1.05.

    Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.

  • Afentis PrimeVariant

    The primed version — stronger stats and usually better polarities.

    Upgrade path when relics/parts are available.

Mod Scaling

Multishot

Usually the highest value damage slot — more projectiles, more procs, more clear.

Critical

Stack crit chance/damage when the weapon’s crit stats justify a crit suite.

Elemental

Faction/elemental lines for Steel Path; Viral+Heat is a safe default on many guns.

Fire Rate

Fire rate raises DPS but burns ammo — pair with reload/ammo economy when needed.

Priority

Multishot → Crit (if crit-viable) → Elemental → QoL ammo/reload.

Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionStrongTest whether Afentis still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsStrongUse Afentis when its fire pattern matches fast tile clears — skip if it feels awkward on empty lanes.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationStrongHold objectives by deleting approach packs with Afentis, then reposition.
Open World / Long SightlinesSituationalLong sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee.
Solo Boss / Single-TargetSituationalFine if Afentis has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon.

Alternatives

Other options if Afentis isn’t the right fit.

  • Afentis Prime

    Prime upgrade in the same line as Afentis — Afentis Prime has higher damage (100%) and higher status (25%). Compare polarities before Forma.

  • Acceltra

    Another Rifle if you want less status than Afentis (Acceltra: 6.0%).

  • Acceltra Prime

    Another Rifle option if Afentis’s handling or acquisition doesn’t fit your farm.
