Hello everyone,
I’m working my way through weapons I haven’t acquired yet wringing the Affinity from them for more MR… and predictably as I sought out weapons I thought I’d like what’s left is either hard to get or not my style.
I’ve got one such not my style weapon now, Burston Prime. I don’t really enjoy the space M16 so I figure I’ll look up a build, slap it on, and slog through Onslaught to 30… I go to Overframe because it’s the only place I know for builds and immediately see my problem. To the best of my knowledge I can’t search by Forma count and it seems mostly enthusiasts of the weapon who make builds for it… so people who’d see no problem using Forma on it.
I didn’t like the standard Burston and still don’t like the primed verson. I’m not going to say it’s a bad weapon but I don’t want to spend Forma or a Catalyst on something I’m not going to enjoy even if it shredded everything I pointed it at.
The problem is, most stuff doesn’t work that well unless you can put a proper build on it, so you need at least a catalyst.
You can sort by forma count on overframe.gg, but the lowest forma counts for the prime have 2 forma - it doesn’t help that the Burston Prime only has one polarity by default.
But if you’re just going to level it to 30 and forget about it, then your best option is to go with other players and let them level your weapon with shared affinity.
Btw, Burston Prime got a massive update with Duviri, but you’ll need Steel Path to unlock that (Incarnon Genesis). I didn’t like it before and now it’s one of my favorites.
