Luminaris Academy - Weapons Intermediate

Guiding Tenno, Igniting Stars.

As you progress through the game, having the right weapons can significantly impact your effectiveness in combat. Here’s a guide to some excellent intermediate weapons, along with essential mods and tips.


1. Understanding Weapons Types:

Before we dive into specific weapons, Let's categorize them based on their Strengths:

Crit Weapons:

  • These weapons have ~20% or more critical strike chance.
  • Primaries (rifles, shotguns) are the strongest for crit builds, followed by melee weapons.
  • All weapon types can work well with crit builds.

Status Weapons:

  • These weapons have ~20% or more status chance
  • They excel on weapons that hit quickly (similar to on-hit builds in other games).
  • Avoid running status builds on shotguns unless they have 30% status chance or more.

Hybrid Weapons:

  • These weapons have ~15% or more critical strike and status chance.
  • Strongest on melee weapons but decent for all types.

Garbage Weapons AKA MR Fodder:

  • These weapons have sub-par critical strike and status chance.
  • Most of them are not worth using unless you have a powerful Riven mod or they are exceptions.
