Notes

• The blueprint for this weapon was added on March 1, 2013.
• The electrical AoE jump attack is especially effective against Corpus, paralyzing Crewmen and MOAs and reaching Ospreys.
• The Amphis is excellent against Grineer/Corpus, as the innate electric stun on jump attacks is great against high armor and MOAs.
• Lethal blows send enemies flying like the Bo. 
• As of Update 13.0, both the Amphis and the Scoliac out-perform the Dual Zoren as mobility tools (a.k.a. "Coptering").  The Melee 2.0 system introduced in U13 also enhanced "coptering" in general, causing aerial slide attacks (sprint>jump>crouch>melee) to launch players significantly farther than previously possible.  When the weapon attack speed is maximized with enough practice players can traverse entire tiles in one swing.

Trivia

• Until Update 13, the Amphis was not used by any Grineer unit.
• On Jump attacks, the Amphis releases six small streams of electricity that each travel outwards lead by a sparking orb. This cosmetic effect is shared with the Prova.
