Phenmor

Phenmor

Primary / Flexible DPS

Zariman colonists originally intended to use the Phenmor in burial rites. In Orokin society, the higher the rank, the greater number of volleys for the deceased. Its stock is carved from Phenaureus Pine, a tree designed to release seedlings only onto scorched earth. In the hands of the Void, the Phenmor becomes darkly aggressive.

Playstyle

Zariman colonists originally intended to use the Phenmor in burial rites. Built as a primary / flexible dps option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

Phenmor 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 Phenmor 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

    Slash 98 · Puncture 42

    Projectile · Crit 20% / 2× · Status 20% · Fire Rate 3 · Projectile 120

  • Incarnon Form

    Slash 80 · Radiation 60

    Projectile · Crit 20% / 2× · Status 20% · Fire Rate 13.33 · Projectile 80

Attack Notes

  • Normal Attack (Projectile): Slash 98.0, Puncture 42.0.
  • Incarnon Form (Projectile): Slash 80.0, Radiation 60.0.

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