Sample Builds
The Akstiletto Prime has a combination of good stats along with only a few drawbacks suck as magazine capacity.
Since it is an automatic weapon. It tends to deplete its magazine quickly but modding to increase its damage output put will require you to deal less shots.
Making use of status effects or critical hits will make up for its low ammo capacity requiring less shots to kill enemies.
Below are a few sample builds:
Critical Damage Build
This build uses Hornet Strike and Magnum Force to increase the overall damage of the build.
For Critical Damage and Multiplier, we add Primed Pistol Gambit/Pistol Gambit and Primed Target Cracker/Target Cracker.
Multishot is added to the build with the addition of Lethal Torrent and Barrel Diffusion.
Elemental Damage is added to the build by added 2 elemental damage mods of your choice to form a combination that you choose.
This build focuses on dealing a decent amount of critical damage with the added bonus damage from the elemental combination you have selected.
Certain enemies will take additional damage based on their resistances and the elemental combination you have chosen.
Status Build
Setting aside critical attributes, this build focuses more on elemental damage and status effects.
With the four elemental damage and status mods, you get a huge boost in status chance as well as a combination of 2 secondary elements.
Hornet Strike and Auger Pact will add to the base damage of your weapon.
Barrel Diffusion and Lethal Torrent will add multishot to the build and an increased rate of fire.
This build focuses on dealing elemental damage and a high chance for status effects to deal additional damage to enemies and weaken them.
Hybrid Build
The Hybrid build basically combines both of the previously mentioned builds.
Taking advantage of both the status and critical chance of the weapon and adding mods will make the Akstiletto Prime deal a good amount of damage in different ways.
These are not the only builds available for the Akstiletto Prime, but they are pretty useful in many situations.
There are tons of ways to mod this weapon and it all can vary depending on the user and their choice of mods.
Overview
Given its good status chance and moderate critical chance the Akstiletto Prime makes up with its less than sufficient amount of magazine capacity along with its accuracy and good rate of fire.
Regardless of what build it has, it retains a good chance to deal status effects and when modded well can be suitable for different types of enemies.
The Akstiletto Prime is a favorite of many due to its modding possibilities and its good base stats.
