Mods Explained

Why each mod is in this Phantasma loadout.

  • Primed Shotgun Ammo Mutation

    Exilus ammo net — Phantasma’s held beam is an ammo hog, and mutation keeps the furnace fed in long tiles without scavenger breaks.

  • Galvanized Hell

    Kill-stacking multishot that multiplies beam count — Phantasma beams add damage and status chance into one instance, so Hell double-dips status DPS.

  • Galvanized Savvy

    Status chance plus +80% damage per unique status — Impact, Radiation, Viral, and Heat routinely push Savvy toward its ceiling on this gun.

  • Toxic Barrage

    Toxin + status half of Viral with Frigid Blast — health softening that multiplies Heat DoT damage after stacks land.

  • Frigid Blast

    Cold + status completing Viral — max-rank dual-stats are mandatory so Viral caps fast under the beam.

  • Blaze

    Heat + flat damage for Uriel Vythelas double-dip — Heat is the single-target melter that refreshes infinitely while Viral softens.

  • Incendiary Coat

    Second Heat percentage so DoT weight stays dominant beside Viral — dual Heat keeps panic and armor strip ticking under Savvy.

  • Shotgun Barrage

    Fire rate that nearly doubles beam tick rate — more ticks mean faster Viral caps and hotter Heat stacks before packs scatter.

  • Shotgun Elementalist

    Status damage amp for Viral and Heat ticks plus a magazine bump — Elementalist is the closer once Heat is carrying DPS.
