Felarx

Shotgun / Close-Range Clear

The Felarx invokes ancient times when aristocrats hunted game. For ceremonies, Orokin elites bred creatures reminiscent of game birds to reanimate cultural myths. They gave the Zariman crew Felarx and a brace of birds as a sign of acceptance into elite society. The brace of birds becomes a pair of pistols at the hands of the Void.

Playstyle

The Felarx invokes ancient times when aristocrats hunted game. Built as a shotgun / close-range clear option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

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

When to Pick

  • You want a Shotgun that fits a shotgun / close-range clear play pattern.
  • Your loadout needs what Felarx 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

  • Normal Attack

    Impact 38 · Slash 83.6 · Puncture 68.4

    Projectile · Crit 20% / 2× · Status 5.5% · Fire Rate 3 · Projectile 100 · Falloff 14–28m (−99%)

  • Incarnon Form

    Impact 200 · Radiation 400

    Projectile · Crit 20% / 3× · Status 20% · Fire Rate 1.5 · Projectile 100

Attack Notes

  • Normal Attack (Projectile): Impact 38.0, Slash 83.6, Puncture 68.4.
  • Incarnon Form (Projectile): Impact 200.0, Radiation 400.0.

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 0.6.

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

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 Felarx still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsStrongUse Felarx 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 Felarx, then reposition.
Open World / Long SightlinesSituationalLong sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee.
Solo Boss / Single-TargetSituationalFine if Felarx has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon.
