Understand Aklex Prime
Useful when…
- High per-shot damage from a dual hitscan pistol.
- A mixed critical and status profile compared with the standard Aklex.
Attack profile
Its Normal Attack fires hitscan at about 2.67 shots per second. Each shot lists 150 physical damage, primarily Puncture (120), alongside 15 Impact and 15 Slash. Critical chance is 25% with a 2× multiplier, and status chance is 25%.
Magazine, reload, and investment
The 16-round magazine reloads in 3 seconds. It is more rapid than the standard Aklex's listed 1.58 shots per second, but the reload remains a notable gap in sustained use. Mastery Rank 15 is required and the rank cap is 30. No polarity is listed, so mod investment should account for compatible slots rather than assuming innate polarity support.
Different dual-pistol choices
Afuris emphasizes faster fire and more continuous shooting, Akbolto uses projectiles and has a higher listed critical multiplier, and Akbronco has close-range shotgun pellets with pronounced falloff. The listed construction includes two Lex Prime weapons, a blueprint, and a link, but the Prime and Baro tags do not prove current acquisition details.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- A 3-second reload can halt firing for a noticeable interval.
- Higher Mastery Rank requirement than the cited dual-pistol alternatives.
- No innate polarity is listed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming a high status chance means status effects occur on every shot.
- Ignoring the 3-second reload when comparing sustained firing.
