Exagryph sucks, what am I doing wrong with this weapon?

[otakon17]

The damage is beyond pathetic, you can't kill ANYTHING with past Tartarus. It needs a damage buff or strafing or a range buff because as it stands now it's definitely the worst weapon in the game by far. The special has the speed of a glacier and is only good when you finally get the triple shot. For a weapon that's supposed to be ALL about the DPS, it's fire rate is lower than the Twin Fists and every hit is easily the lowest of all the weapon types.

While you can use the primary attack in some DPS builds based on on-attack procs (Zeus chain lighting basic attack, Support Fire, etc), the main damage dealer is the special, which already hits pretty hard by default

my preferred strat with the Exo is to put Chill on the basic attack, and then boost Special damage as much as possible: Hazard Bomb, Aphro Special (has the highest + Special modifier, i believe) and then get a solid Call, Cast, and preferably Athena Dash

the chill will make hitting the Special easier while Hazard Bomb does massive damage in an area, and usually you won't hit yourself (even if you do it's only 1% damage), i've had a good amount of success with this build

i want to try the Meme Beam but it won't unlock, not too sure why anymore but i wanna give that a roll

Dont shoot with it, only use Q. Get daedalus enchant for either triple shot Q or the big one with larger radius and damage, kite enemies into said Q. Enchance it with either poseidon or aphrodite boon for insane damage, If you have Q dealing 150 damage then with triple shot it deals 450 every two three seconds. Its the weapon I got my second fastest clear with. Just focus on upgrading the Q and only enchance the primary fire with zeus attack for chain lightning or dyonisus for quick dot stack up.

Instead of Q, just use special. I doubt that many people are playing the game with mouse and keyboard.

It's WAYYYY Better with mouse and keyboard - with Rail gun and Bow,

The gun is freaking amazing with lightning on the bullets and doom or weakness on the grenade (better with the rocket mod), and if you have Demeter on the bullets, with the blessing that does damage on 10 stacks, this is pretty good too.

I had a run that destroyed absolutely everything (and quickly) yesterday, including elite encounters and bosses.

Primary Attack: Zeus Boons including Jolt (Eventually got splitting lightning)
Special: Triple Bomb + Artemis (including ability to Mark)
Cast: Dio Festive Fog
Dash: Demeter for Chill

Basically I always opened with triple bomb + festive fog, dashed for the chill, then opened fire to get the double status effects and damage going. Normal mobs will already be dead. Can just continue to repeat that pattern of triple bomb + festive fog, attack for a bit, repeat.

The special damage was also enhanced by chaos I believe. Festive Fog I went with duo with Zeus for even more lightning. Artemis Support Fire for even more damage.

Beyond what the others have mentioned, your choice of Aspect can greatly change your playstyle. For me personally, the Aspect of Hestia works best.
Fully upgraded it deals 150 damage on the first shot after a reload, which makes for a very strong hit-and-run gameplan, especially once you get good at reloading often and at opportune moments.
As for the other aspects I can't comment much, Aspect of Zagreus seems weak since you're rarely in a position to just stand still and fire 20 shots at an enemy and I've personally found Aspect of Lucifer to be INCREDIBLY lackluster, but that might just be my own inexperience with it.

Poseidon epic attack blessing is nice for giving you space. Crit as well with the huntress chick. And dash deflect with Athena

[Machao]

I don't undersand the soak bonus, im in the area and the damage is still the same.

[MrEntity]

My best ever gun-run was
Basic gun with 18? bullets

Attack - Zeus chain lightning
Special - Doom
Generic "I like artemis" call and cast, and Athena dash

Then the clinchers
Daedalus - splitting bullets
Artemis - homing arrows on attack

Basically the normal shots did more than triple damage to multiple enemies (at level one boons), and since there are only two vaguely hard bosses, and one of those has multiple enemies, Hades was the only vague issue.
It was INCREDIBLY easy to get through everything but Hades, and that just required patience, as usual. Not amazing single-target damage, but RIDICULOUS crowd controal.

Hestia has the highest potential probably.
Eris is extremely consistent.

I'll outline 3 Eris plays types:
1) Full Bomb
Start with chaos egg, get deadalus special upgrades, get chaos special upgrades use a high% special multiplier that isn't poseidon (Aphro or Demeter).
This one is way too risky for my taste but when it works it does obliterate everything.

2) Full Hangover
Start with Dionysus trinket to force hangover in attack. Don't pick more than 3 upgradable boons in total and just always go for poms. You want 1 Aphro weakness boon ASAP (you could force it via trinket) and then you just pick Dio or Aphro until you get the Duo boon.
Extremely consistent due to having no deadalus requirement and both kinds of rerolls working, however clear speed varies heavily depending on poms/time you get the boons.

3) Flexible Build
Start with chaos egg. Your first chaos and deadalus boons will decide if you go for the special build. If you don't get it, don't force it and try to go for hangover instead (will be slightly delayed and therefore weaker). If you get neither Aphro nor Dio boons early you can instead go for the (on average) weakest of the builds, the proc build. Uses zeus on attack and artemis chasing arrows on hit to generate an insane amount of damage instances. You want to combine this with a strong call (defensive like Athena or offensive like Artemis or both like Ares). If by some chance you get the legendary Aphro charm on weakness boon that could just win you the run by default too.

Imo it's generally inconsistent to try to force things like with 1) but the hangover build is so incredibly consistent that it doesn't seem to matter in that regard. Most people swear on Hestia, I prefer to keep my options open though.

[JuRiOh]

It's my favorite weapon for Hangover.

Had level 9 Mythical Drunken Strike with all 3 Hangover Duo Boons a few days ago.

I play with Conroller but I believe it would be better on Mouse+Keyboard as sometimes you seem to aim where you don't want to.

[drz30]

It's by far the strongest weapon in the game. You just need to put all your upgrades into the secondary attack(range,damage). It's like turning down the difficulty of the game while playing with this weapon.

[Atomsk]

Lucifer aspect is really hard to win with... it's overall really bad

[1MantisPhoenix]

Make sure you take an armour reduction upgrade somewhere along the line

[1MantisPhoenix]

Op marked the first answer and ran away from this post. Naaier.

Good luck have fun all

[HunterXCooL]

Without upgrade every exagryph aspect sucks... so please upgrade your weapon
