Bellicose does add some life, but only base

hard dove
#

Do you nourish for viral already?

unborn wren
#

Ye

#

I basically only wall latch for spy and to use my 4th to get a big health pool

hard dove
#

Nautilus for grouping ig to make sobek nuke clumped up
Or adarza for general buff

#

I'm assuming you're using blight

unborn wren
#

Yuppers

hard dove
#

Blight give cdmg right? I can't remember wether adarza or smeeta is the one that give cc

unborn wren
#

Adarza gives crit chance

#

Blight is kinda sad at 22% Crit chance but I have a hard time fitting Crit chance on mods, plus dispo is .75

stable plover
#

how do u post videos? i cant anymore.

#

is there a wareframe site i need to upload it to?

hard dove
#

I think you need to change the format to webp
Or if it's too long upload to yt and link it here

stable plover
#

so steam share links are a nono.

hard dove
#

Most link here that aren't yt, wiki, abd overframe are usually obliterated instantly

stable plover
#

ok ill just upload everything to utube first. ty

Hello folks! I'm looking for help understanding how stances are affecting my builds for Nikanas and Dual Nikanas. The bulk of my querry and the research I already did is pretty long, so I put it in the #1197322290166251680 section over here: https://discord.com/channels/552966801558863896/1468842968772378658

The short version is I'm trying to make a Nikana or Dual Nikana build to go with my Ash Prime, with a Slash focus. I used Underframe's simulation tool to test them. The stats on the weapons are very similar, but their results are hugely different, and it seems to be related to the stances. So, I'd like help understanding how that works, and where I'm going wrong. Help improving the builds is also welcome, I don't have a lot of experience at it yet!

stable plover
#

i guess i dont need video anyway, u all already know if a build works or not just by looking at it. (Riven has +272.1 c.chance, +211.3 c.dmg)

#

this good enugh for endgame yet?

hard dove
#

Yes bc it's burston

#

You might want to drop aptitude tho

#

You already have 2 base dmg source

#

And aptitude doesn't work fully here

stable plover
#

ah ok ty.

bold estuary
#

Ehhh it kinda works her four snapshots her strength but everything else gets the full bellicose buff

hard dove
#

So pretty much str for dmg vulnerability and maybe nourish if you subsume 3

#

I forgot what strength scaling does for her 3 besides dmg

#

I should subsume fireblast on oraxia hmm

mellow palm
#

Oberon mains

#

Do you keep his whole kit or subsumed?

sick ermine
#

My Build - even threw together a guide mostly just filled with alternatives to everything.

#

What you think?

My ideal is to have Primed Sure Footed, Primed Flow and 5x Violet Archon Shards. But currently still at Red shards and dont have even normal surefooted yet

unborn wren
#

Nourish is too good to pass

karmic badger
#

not a problem if you're doing quick missions, but endless missions become a problem

mellow palm
#

About prime sure footed, you could use wyrm as an alternative, it has an augment that remove one negative status from you every 5 seconds

unborn wren
#

Tho they're really not that good anyway

mellow palm
#

Also her base armor is very high so you could drop primed flow and use arcane battery instead

#

With 2100 healths, you can tank 4 hits, 1 hit per second before you die, that's more than enough for persistence as backup plan in case things go wrong

sick ermine
mellow palm
#

But damage? Not that good compare to vergilas

sick ermine
mellow palm
sick ermine
#

The current build Shreds all the way up until level 300 ish and starts to slowly tapper off after level 430 im finding

mellow palm
#

Check out ninjase's build

#

I don't play Valkyrie so yeah

#

I can help if it's Oberon

sick ermine
severe bough
sick ermine
#

I took out Corrosive projection as well because mod mod slots with Steel Charge and more damage, and with Arcane Circumvent 2 quick rolls and they have no armor anyway

sick ermine
#

and i guess her 3rd, but ive subsumed over that with Roar

bold estuary
mellow palm
mellow palm
#

Toxin from her 4th, corrosive from archon continuity and nourish

bold estuary
#

Yeah but like…her 1 is infinite energy just hit 1 give her weapon viral damage and you have toxin corrosive viralVomEyes

sick ermine
bold estuary
#

I don’t think nourish is good for her is all since half the effect the main effect is wasted on her

#

Your also losing her 3 which ccs and can work as a pretty good sub dps option and lets her run arcane camisodo

#

If you want nourish on her put it over her 1 not her 3

mellow palm
#

Nourish is exceptionally useful for higher level contents

#

Such as level cap

severe bough
mellow palm
#

And yeah, subsume over her spooder spawn

bold estuary
#

Wait I feel like oraxia would have zero issues at level cap cause she’s like dagath and enemies just effectively have half their normal hp with her 1

mellow palm
#

Or just, Oberon

bold estuary
#

I could not tell you what Oberon does post rework ngl

severe bough
narrow granite
#

rate mi build

severe bough
mellow palm
#

Lol, i played him for quite a while after rework

bold estuary
#

All I know about Oberon is he makes me think sometimes I have a revenant with Mesmer skin augment in my team but then I see the vegetation everywhere

mellow palm
#

Now with arcane persistence? Even better

mellow palm
#

And better kit too

#

One smite, strips almost everything no matter the level

smoky widget
#

any improvements

mellow palm
#

Then there's confusion from hallowed ground

bold estuary
#

That doesn’t sound amazing ngl can’t terrify do that in an area or pillage in an area while also giving shields?

mellow palm
glass rampart
#

Smite didn't do anything without smite infusion, carpet is mostly the same I think, regen didn't give your armour, and reckoning didn't armour strip unless you did it on top of carpet

bold estuary
#

Oh overguard as well mb that’s busted

mellow palm
#

Only leave 25% health on near 300% strength

#

My build is near 300% strength so, i keep his whole kit intact and use persistence because there's renewal

#

And universal fallout

bold estuary
#

I’m gonna do a proper wisp build when I get my universal fallout maxed with her sun augment it seems fun

mellow palm
#

Full umbral set and one tauforged azure to get 1569 hp, 3 seconds of cheesing my way out in case something goes wrong

#

And i don't even have to worry about status effect, hallowed ground clean and immune from status effects, causing confusion, what else can i ask for? Not even mentioned about reckoning too, area armor strip

#

Plenty of spaces to dodge and survive, also KILL

mellow palm
#

Primed shred has 2.2 punch through along with 55% fire rate

glass rampart
#

His passive was useless

#

It was like

#

Your companion has bonus health and faster revive speed

gusty nova
#

😭 😭

glass rampart
mellow palm
glass rampart
#

Revenant has 1 ability

#

1 ability and a subsume slot

#

His thralls are worthless besides for cc and his reave is the only other thing worth a damn because it does percentage damage

hard dove
#

Reave requires too much setup and is wonky to use on small tile
Smite simply work and is much better at aoe
Plus does og/armor strip

glass rampart
gaunt star
glass rampart
#

Yeah his old one

#

Wasn't worth a damn even before the companion rework

gaunt star
#

Now it's invulnerability on health pickups right?

glass rampart
#

Yep or universal

#

Which is why arcane universal fallout...

cobalt fable
#

What is the best build for dante ?

glass rampart
#

Depends. Caster build or Gun build

cobalt fable
#

More like the caster build

glass rampart
#

Don't know much about the caster build but I assume a lot of range and strength

cobalt fable
#

Ty I will work on that

dusk cliff
#

which one would you guys pick?

cold salmon
#

right is better

#

+multishot it really good
-cc is really good
status duration doesnt really matter to laetum so its the only undesired thing in that riven

fierce lark
#

i uh

#

don't think that's slottable?

late hemlock
#

I dont think id run em over any regular mod

#

But then again really hard to get something that's actually useful with such low dispo

lavish orbit
#

Only if you want to maximize that 2000% damage luck when you do a non crit hit

#

But meh

eternal oxide
#

i need a gauss speed buidd

gusty nova
#

The amount of +%dps a -cc riven actually gives is pretty low

fierce lark
#

yeah rivens for the zariman incarnons are pretty hard to get usable rolls

sharp flame
#

hello I'd like to ask, is the xoris a good melee?

late hemlock
#

Very yes

#

Also has a unique trait which makes it best in slot by far for farming granum void

sharp flame
#

should I use it even though Im still early game?

coral plank
#

Can the retriver mods for beasts be considered abilities?

late hemlock
#

They are just passives that even work when they are down or if you do archwing missiond

The Claw of Huras Kubro

Not a Weapon of a frame

coral plank
#

Clawd my Huras till they invisi kill

midnight horizon
#

Aight.... God damn I feel stupud

coral plank
#

I realised that Huras can attack even when theyre invisible

#

Unlike Shade as I remembered

midnight horizon
#

Yup

late hemlock
# coral plank

Should be running hunter synergy and mecha overdrive, massive boost to claws

#

Also if you want strictly damage with the kubrow go sunika

white lodge
#

I'm confused, On ivaras navigator.. giving more duration makes the multiplier growth go down, is that bad?

fierce lark
#

put a divider instead of a multiplier

velvet pulsar
#

Use arcane concentration

white lodge
#

It's actually right, though why it is that way I donno.

fierce lark
#

no im not saying it’s listed wrong

#

i mean they probably didn’t mean to have it scale inversely with duration

but maybe they did

#

less duration = faster in theory

Hey I am building a Stahlta build for bosses in disruption and is this Riven work if I take out serration or should I look of Cc Cd and toxin Riven and replace toxin instead

Someone here that can give me a quick Uriel build?

midnight horizon
#

Whatever it is, you still win 100%

#

That's how easy Uriel is hahahah

vale token
#

Haha that’s the thing idk what he can do and what would be the ultimate build for damage giving hahahah im a noob at building

midnight horizon
#

Trust me, in the bottom of my heart Give Uriel whatever it is, and you will win

vale token
#

Hahahah idk what he does 🫣 I haven’t played in MONTHS hahahaha

midnight horizon
#

Literally no joke

That's his whole summary hahahah

#

Uriel proc SO MUCH HEAT that even as simple as a no forma build was able to deal damage enough to kill lvl 300 enemies

night laurel
#

yeah, i do run him for SP Scaldra survi

vale token
#

What the helllyyyy hahahhahaha

#

Im glad i dont do forma 🤣

midnight horizon
midnight horizon
#

His survivability if you ask? Spam 2

It gives Energy, health and heals you along with the shield

vale token
#

Whahahhaha this might become my new fav frame oh no

midnight horizon
#

That's me, we have preferences

midnight horizon
# vale token Whahahhaha this might become my new fav frame oh no

But yeah, remember... When handling Uriel, you don't need a specific build

Sure you can... There are no limits in building a frame

But if it's Uriel Specifically, you don't

Bc either way, you proc so much damage that it doesn't even matter...

Uriel is the ANGRIEST frame you'll ever had hahahahah

vale token
#

damn im interested how this will go then XD idk if ill be able to handle him

#

just slapped the basic on him XD

#

Okey so I can tell first time playing him he’s the… old ember

astral tinsel
#

He's like old Ember was on base star chart

midnight horizon
# vale token

Hell yeah! Go for it!!!

Now it'll depends on how you use it, only remember that the 2 IS the survivability

midnight horizon

He doesn’t seem to like dying… 🤣

what do people usually build Grendel for? i assume strength?

lean warren
#

quick question about cyte's evade helminth - if I helminth evade onto another frame, does modding for duration affect the ability's duration maximum or is it always stuck at 25 secs?

#

(specifically thinking about getting evade on harrow)

quick cloud
midnight horizon
coral plank
#

Everytime I use Sevagoth nuke build other then solo survival I keep running out of energy, every time

midnight horizon
#

The nuke is not the main damage, it's more of a Problem Solver

#

Use guns, shoot to get more energy

#

Kill to get more energy

#

@coral plank keep in mind. Sevagoth is very ENERGY hungry, so use his nuke less as possible

coral plank
#

Then I gotta find a way to survive whilst restoring energy

gaunt star
coral plank
#

Yeah

karmic prism

is this what i want for torid inc?

#

should i forma again the same polarity

late hemlock
celest thicket
#

i did felt some difference with protector posture, the dog/cat stays very close

#

lol thats almost exactly my build. might replace P Flow with regular flow, now that i think of it
this took me to SP Cascade pretty well, the only downside being if you don't kill fast enough it's a bit inconvenient to keep recasting 3 + 4

lean warren
#

I just don't own prime flow lol

celest thicket
#

i was looking at the strun prime stats thinking it was magazine fed and thought: 4,6 reload time ? does he need to disassemble the gun ?

night laurel
#

some suggestions:

lean warren
#

Oh shit right totally forgot about crepuscular

night laurel
#

now that i think of it, Crepuscular is useless on the phenmor, oops.

night laurel
#

yes that's my brain fart 😔

lean warren
#

Doesn't that also make your 4 useless too

severe bough
#

Crit phenmore users🗿

lean warren
#

I use phenmor on my gauss and I love it but harrow seems like the worst frame for it

night laurel
#

i don't have other fancy incarnons and my setup is subprime i'm aware 😔

#

1 makes headshots very consistent btw especially for incarnons

#

anyways do as i say and not as i do; i really recommend spectral serration and crepuscular

lean warren
#

👍

#

I think I'll stick to the burston incarnon over phenmor but otherwise I'll take your advice haha

night laurel
#

my lineup is very dated and suboptimal DagathLUL Phenmor is my first proper full auto "good" gun

lean warren
#

"service weapon"?

#

Also how's the vinq? Is the 6 forma investment worth it 😮

I tell u what's the comparison
Xata

#

Xata phenmor is still a thing, except instead of the attrition perk, it's the headshot perk

#

We're still double dipping

#

But not as good as pre-nerf

astral tinsel
#

oh yeah that could work

velvet pulsar
#

I don't use felarx anymore

#

I've realised it's dumb to use crit lock requirement buffs in a public squad.

#

Same reason why I hate Melee Duplicate

celest thicket

That -reload speed reminds me of my riven.

night laurel
astral tinsel
#

so much better than the other one

velvet pulsar
astral tinsel
#

no crit stats, no PT

velvet pulsar
#

Toxocyst doesn't need more crit stats

#

It's just slightly below 100%, but the innate puncture it has allows it to get flat crit to reach 100%

#

And punch through is kinda overrated but then again, now we have merciless gunfight

astral tinsel
coral plank
velvet pulsar
#

Atleast I have the basics covered

So mine can take advantage of more damage, the rest 2 stats are definitely good

celest thicket
#

so....why critical deceleration a madurai polarity , if critical delay and creeping bulleye is naramon ?

that annoys me a little bit

velvet pulsar

Surely that's not 100% true for cedo or Bubonico right?

celest thicket
#

Shotgun mods in general have so weak stats

snow ice
trim hill
lavish orbit
#

Shotgun are just guns with natural multishot

velvet pulsar
lavish orbit
#

If multishot is an other damage instance, idk why it wouldnt

trim hill
#

Multishot does have separate crits, yeah

#

And shotguns have like 2B multishot before mods

velvet pulsar
#

Well then multiply my beam CC DE

#

Lemme push my Tenet Cycron & Tenet Glaxion CC above 100%.

trim hill
#

Beam weapons having tick-rate damage styles probably messed with more of their coding than they expected back in 2015, lol

#

That was only the Braton, right?

dire zenith
#

For a secondary damage weapon, do I get the tenet cycron or kuva nukor?

Other better options would be great I'm just trying to avoid an incarnon

lavish orbit
#

Cycron doesn't have munition problem, but you need to wait to get them back

karmic prism
#

im having tons of fun with atomos

dire zenith
karmic prism
#

its cool with gauss cause with his 2nd ability i get knockback immunity and with the incarnon form i become a landmine

coral crest
#

Many incarnon weapons can be built without really using the form

#

No reason to avoid the adapter if you can just build for not using the mode

#

And yet, +15% base crit chance from an evolution doesn't hurt

dire zenith
coral crest
#

Atomos incarnon form is very different and requires pretty much a different build, but you can still take full advantage of the base stat bonuses evolutions provide

#

Felarx is rarely even used in the incarnon mode

lavish orbit
coral crest
#

It's definitely dependent on the weapon, and even if the incarnon is usually stronger, you can totally use the normal mode and bring it up quite a bit with the base stat boosts

#

I think either Strun or Boar have a great use too

#

Atomos already was mentioned

dire zenith
#

Oh I may get sicarus then

coral crest
#

Miter also has an evolution line that's entirely focused on making the base form stronger

#

You can legitemately turn it into an aoe weapon

velvet pulsar
#

I'm sure sicarus these days is mostly use for the bug

#

So they don't care about incarnon or Incarnoff

velvet pulsar
coral crest
#

I can't remember whether it's Boar or Strun that works very well with incarnoff

#

I constantly confuse these two guns

coral crest
#

Which one is the 5 million status chance

velvet pulsar
#

Strun is insane status chance

coral crest
#

Probably strun then

velvet pulsar
#

Well I guess I'm on the right track then

coral crest
#

And as I said, Miter Incarnoff is really weird. You basically turn it into a bouncing Ogris

#

It has a unique evolution of that gives charged shots an aoe explosion

velvet pulsar
#

Ohhhh

#

This week is miter?

coral crest
#

Ye

#

Go get em

velvet pulsar
#

I had no idea we had such unique buffs to incarnoff as well

coral crest
#

Miter is such an underrated weapon

#

It has a super gimmicky Incarnoff evolution

velvet pulsar
#

Oh wait

coral crest
#

It charges in like 1 shot

velvet pulsar
#

But I already might've farmed the genesis lol

coral crest
#

And incarnon mode is just Latron with homing projectiles

#

High dispo as well

#

Oh and it has the "shatter nullifiers instantly" augment

velvet pulsar
#

Yup, just checked, already farmed

Just need to install now

coral crest
#

But do you have it

velvet pulsar
#

Gotta build Miter the weapon

coral crest
#

Not only it's a boss drop weapon

#

It's also in a requirement chain to craft Panthera

#

Horrifying fate

coral crest
#

It's a tough choice, but its a sign of bravery

velvet pulsar
#

I even haven't finished Synoid Gammacor from my wishlist

#

It's just rusting in my inventory

#

Now Miter's turn

coral crest
#

It's probably my favorite incarnon weapon :3

#

Very strong, very versatile, and perfect for a caster

Beams likely get the same proc rate

lavish orbit

the quadratic status scaling is a neat quirk, but crit is already perfectly consistent

It's just an anti-debilitate policy

how bad is getting baruuk

compared to garuda

west radish
#

garuda is fortuna bounty

so probably not hard

#

Baruuk is way harder

#

Need r5 fortuna and at least r4 vox iirc

west radish

yeah aint no joke

altough when i think about it

both are easy to get tbf

id rather get garuda from circuit

pure heat is pretty awful

late hemlock
#

archon vitality doesnt stack hotshot

#

not worth using vitality on mesa

distant ore
#

Didn’t know that.I heard one of the things I needed was hotshot been grinding to get it slowly but surely

velvet pulsar
late hemlock
#

dont think its new, you can find pretty old threads talking about this already

getting one heat proc will only give you one hotshot stack even when archon vitality makes it 2 heat procs

velvet pulsar
#

Does heat inherit proc Hot Shot?

#

Let's say...

#

I applied 1 heat status on an unscratched enemy using an ability, then I used a heat primer gun and applied more heat stacks before the first one expired, then heat inherit considers all subsequent heat procs as ability procs.

However IDK if Hot Shot will consider that too.

velvet pulsar
#

Great

lavish orbit
#

No

#

It's not heat dot that apply hot shot but the heat status that you put on an enemy by an ability

velvet pulsar
#

Yeah so either this time DE finally knew what they were doing or it was a fluke.

novel bear
#

Melee afflictions on exalted melees also doesn’t proc hotshot

velvet pulsar
#

Funny how hot shot could've been bugged in any other way and probably would've been in our favor

velvet pulsar
novel bear
#

Haven’t tried

velvet pulsar
#

I've heard some stories

novel bear
#

Usually when you apply multiple heat procs at once archon vitality only adds one extra proc

#

I would think afflictions wouldn’t break the mold

velvet pulsar
#

I trust heat inherit

#

I wonder if afflictions will proc before A.Vitality or vice versa.

novel bear
#

Does it matter? They both add a flat number of procs

nova swift
#

Does the vitality heat proc roll a seperate chance for encumber? Or same issue as hotshot?

late hemlock
#

i assume it wouldnt because its not the weapon proccing the heat but the mod from the warframe?

lavish orbit
#

^

#

Depends if the mod effect is counted has an ability or not

coral crest
#

There do exist exalted weapons

#

And vitality does affect exalted weapons

lavish orbit
#

Ye but does it affect encumber

#

Like, it's not the warframe, the weapon or the ability that put the heat proc

coral crest
#

Seems pretty easy to test

#

I don't have any frames with exalted secondaries though...

late hemlock
#

Mesa should be easy to check

lavish orbit
#

Lemme sacrifice myself

novel bear
#

Seems like it would be annoying to tell if encumber is actually rolling a second time

#

Especially with mesa putting out such a high volume of damage instances

coral crest
#

Jade?

#

Her output is pretty limited in terms of damage instances

lavish orbit
#

I can confirm that

#

Vitality proc but not encumber a second time

karmic prism
#

is this what the build would look like? im sturggling with descendia 8 lol

late hemlock
#

Not having an arcane is easily your biggest power loss here

karmic prism
late hemlock
#

The build is generally fine enough, could use something like primed cryo rounds over rime rounds for example

#

But its fine

#

Opening exilus for vigilante supplies is also a free damage boost but not nearly as valuable as just having a big base damage buff

karmic prism
#

so having primary merciless is the best i can do_

late hemlock
#

Thats fine, just a bunch of more damage you did not have at all beforehand

fierce lark
karmic prism
fierce lark
#

actually it would do more since you aren't even using a max ranked serration

#

(i would suggest not maxing it and getting amalgam serration from thermia instead lol)

karmic prism
#

merciless is rank 0 tho

fierce lark
#

buy a rank 5 one from warframe.market, they're like 15-20p and well worth it

#

should i use any other galvanized mods

fierce lark
#

vitality motes give flat hp based on str, she barely has any hp to scale vitality

late hemlock
#

definitely dont need armor and health mods on her

gleaming oasis
#

Can I use the generic elec influence build on the amanata with the exception of the weapon specific damage mod over stretch since it can already get the range from its ability?

late hemlock
#

also crepescular is like a ton more value on wisp than bellicose

narrow granite
#

how much would crep give? beli gives me the cap

late hemlock
#

less strength but you get a HUGE damage boost from crit multiplier

narrow granite
#

is why I have tribra

late hemlock
#

it is not worth squeezing every tiny bit of strength if you lose so much other value along the way

#

spending 2 whole mod slots that do nothing for you besides boost intensify is just not worth it

stray depot
#

any good Rauta builds?

fierce lark
late hemlock
#

depends on your weapon but jumping while spamming melee is fine, and it snapshots for motes anyways

#

thats just a lot of damage left on the table if you actually take advantage and synergize with it

#

though id rather subsume 4 anyways on the vast majority of builds

narrow granite
#

I absolutely hate her 2 xD

#

never cease praising the sun!

fierce lark
#

the biggest issue is this

stray depot
#

aaaannnybody with a rauta build

quiet laurel

#

2 is also free invuln

#

well not free but invuln

quiet laurel
#

i can see why someone wouldnt like the invuln part cause its very short duration

fierce lark
#

at the very least throw in an armor shard and persistence and then you have an effectively immortal wisp as long as you're moving in/out of motes

quiet laurel
#

but the invis stays as long as the clone is up

late hemlock
#

3 seconds is pretty decent for an emergency invuln

#

persistence wisp is cursed when you have so much invis in her kit

fierce lark
#

lol some people just have the absolute need to force health tanking its fine

#

and wisp at least has an equally easy time maintaining hp for persistence

#

it's less insane than ive seen some other frames doing triumbral persistence

I have barely any idea what his 4 does lol

its basedc on duration?

yes

thats the whole reason you spam duration on gauss

fierce lark

yeah the buff itself scales with duration it's weirdge

What’s the 2 got to do with gun buffing tho

subsume a buff over it

i have xata's for blast transfer

pallid quiver
#

Ohh

late hemlock
# fierce lark

this doesnt seem to work with only fast deflection, only with both that and vigor?

quiet laurel
#

or other way around

nova swift
#

so, considering his 3 gives him a huge blast damage buff with the augment you want to either sacrifice 1 or 2 for another gun buff

quiet laurel
#

blast double dips xatas

mighty flare
late hemlock

xata is a good pick because of how it synergises with blast, and roar buffs blast too quite well

#

I've heard that Xata is super good but I usually don't see why

nova swift
#

the blast explosion also gets a bonus hit from xata

maiden oracle
#

Ah

nova swift
#

so you hit them, get the bonus xata hit, apply blast status

#

and if the blast explodes that also applies xata

maiden oracle
#

o h

#

Does this chain or nah

nova swift
#

not quite, the xata hit cant proc blast

#

so you just get more damage on your blast but thats it

#

but it gets kinda funky when you apply things like status damage or faction damage

#

the initial hit gets faction damage, the blast proc gets faction damage, and the xata hit from the blast proc also gets faction damage

maiden oracle
#

Oh boy

#

So is this why I'll sometimes see a Xaku running around with a Trumna or something like that

#

Or is it just cause of their correlation to Deimos

nova swift
#

probably? You could make a pretty decent gun platform/hybrid with xaku these days

maiden oracle
#

Noted, I'll try building my Trumna for that myself later then

nova swift
#

oh yea xata has a bunch of other funny things too, like headshot multipliers apply multiple times, and so do stealth melee bonuses

#

so you hit a headshot, get bonus damage, and the xata hit again gets the bonus damage

steep furnace
#

HOW DO I DO THIS ???

nova swift
#

use a cipher ;D

#

other then that, run around the coast looking for a mining spot/fishing hotspot (oxylus recommended)

#

get the fish, quickly swipe over the mining spot (doesnt have to be perfect) use your hotkeyed archwing to fly to one of those guard towers and snipe the ballista

#

oh, this is plains what im talking about, but you could probably do this in the other ones too

maiden oracle

I guess I'll gind fo Xaku base to get that sweet succulent Xata subsume then

Anyways how's this look for a quickly thrown together attempt at a weapons Xaku

# maiden oracle Anyways how's this look for a quickly thrown together attempt at a weapons Xaku

hi xaku connoisseur here
assuming you're talking about a weapons platform xaku
high range isn't generally needed as for a weapons platform oriented setup, grasp and his 3rd dont provide all that much towards the build
strength is also pretty low too
if you're talking about a grasp build, id say it looks solid, still strength is kind of low which doesnt matter for his 2 necessarily but when it comes to camping or locking an area down and stripping enemies with his 3, it kind of matters then

bold estuary
#

I know acuity is worse than multi shot even on headshots but I have a specific question with my Yareli I use this setup with my angstrum for the bouncy bullets auto headshots keeping evade up but it struggles would acuity help maintaining evade easier or not really affect anything at all? (Yareli has 4 tau oranges for crit as well)

fierce lark
#

acuity is typically better than multishot on headshots

#

it just severely penalizes any head misses, especially if you build into acuity by removing the other crit mod

#

and lower status application means less viral/corrosive procs

bold estuary
#

I don’t really aim with the build is the thing since I’m gliding around on merulina and I don’t imagine the statues do a ton in the build I’ll probably just have to test it and see how it feelsVomEyes

#

Cause multi shot affects incarnon charge speed as well right?

late hemlock
#

angstrum in particular got no issues charging

fierce lark
#

yes

nova swift
#

the angstrum incarnon projectiles have multi gunco, so every status effect boosts the damage by a lot

fierce lark
#

don’t use acuity if you aren’t going to aim very deliberately

late hemlock
#

but acuity on angstrum sounds cursed

fierce lark
#

acuity is mainly used for hitscan aoe weapons

nova swift
#

you probably would have to run a recoil exilus too cause that shake is quite a lot especially if you want to keep it on heads

fierce lark
#

because the aoe portion of those don’t get multishot

late hemlock
#

you can use acuity on projectile weapons but you would probably want hard cc so its an easy shot

bold estuary
fierce lark
#

it’s generically good on burston and opticor, probably some other weapons that i don’t know of, but ms is good on burston too to charge incarnon faster

bold estuary
#

The bullets bouncing are my main headshot method I was considering lowering my non headshot damage with acuity so I can only kill on headshots when the random bullets bounce and hit a head

fierce lark
#

if gas wasn’t bugged, acuity vesper would be a funny shout

maiden oracle
undone dust
nova swift
#

I think you want some range for armor strip, mostly str and some duration. Maybe the 4 augment for more void damage bonus? You could either run roar or thermal sunder + the augment for more damage on either 2 or 3

#

kinda wild that a pure xaku is actually a really good pick now because their 1 applies the 4 effect buffing the 2

maiden oracle
#

Got a bit goofy with it

undone dust
maiden oracle
#

I forget augments exist tbh

#

Doesn't seem too good on paper

undone dust
#

xaku's augments are negligible
untime rift is good but it's more of an unnecessary upgrade as it doesnt actually double vast untime's void damage vulnerability like it says
it just applies a second instance of it, bringing it to 125% instead of 100%
it does make killing with grasp easier at lower levels though

fierce lark
#

sky didn’t we have this conversation

undone dust
#

yes actually LMAO

maiden oracle
#

Ic

undone dust

our conversation had me learn how the damage vulnerability applies with the aug ExcaliburLUL

go finish the 1999 quests, farm the missions there, unlock the arcane secondary enervate from said missions

By valance, he means the damage elemental of your Nukor. It's Toxic. It's called Valence Bonus. He told you to switch to magnetic if you can, but I don't know why you would do it.
And to put it simply, grind for an Arcane called Enervate and remove Primed Pistol Gambit for another elementary mod or damage mod. That's bc Enervate will replace PPG (Primed Pistol Gambit)

the element is good on its own and doesn't combine with anything

So i have changed koumei roll ability, and i saw the "chyrinka pillar" that pulses radiation status effect from qorvex

    Enemies that attack or are attacked suffer viral damage and energy source provide more energy.

Would not her 1 ability + Qurvex pillar be amazing and focus range?

her 1 and 4 can already apply every normal status in the game

if you wanted to do more damage with statuses you'd put roar or sickening pulse over 1/3 and spam 4 to apply random statuses

I've found a really weird interaction with the heavy attack for sparring weapons and I'm not sure it's intended and I am just missing something or if it is a bug. Appreciate any input from anyone who might know anything about this and what might be causing it.

I was messing around with the Cudo Hirudo, trying to make use of the sparring move-set's heavy attack. I tried to determine if the AoE-part of the heavy attack is affected by crit chance modifiers (the heavy attack deals one instance that counts as a 500% dmg heavy and another one as a 400% dmg slam, the latter being a radial AoE).

First, I tried hitting a bunch of infested Chargers in the simulacrum with only the AoE from the heavy attack. It seems to be completely unable to critical strike at all. Even with a 102% crit chance it just does the normal amount of damage from a non-critical. Note that the 500% "heavy" damage instace does work as expected with the crit chance.

Here comes the part that confuses me - I tried making a jumping heavy-slam attack to see how that one interacts with crits. It did result in crits on every enemy hit (102% crit chance), perhaps, as expected. After that, suddenly all of my heavy-attack slams (the one from the sparring move set) also started dealing critical damage. I checked for any buffs, mods, archon shards, and other stuff that might interfere, but I was running a completely clean loadout except for the Coda Hirudo with the True Steel mod and the Brutal Tide stance.

It's almost as if the jumping slam "unlocks" the capability to crit for the heavy attack-initiated slam. This "switch" resets after making any loadout changes but is repeatable by doing a single aerial slam again. Tested using the Coda Hirudo and normal Hirudo, both in the simulacrum and in a mission. I am utterly confused.

yeah

Also tried using Sacrificial Steel + Pressure to get the crit over 100%, but no additional mods.

#

yeah, checks out

it happens with baruuk's fist too so it's not exclusive to the stance mod or the hirudo

#

i have absolutely no explanation

Fair enough LOL. Atleast then I know it's not just me being slow and missing some obvious detail.

But my question is: would Primary Crux be a good choice for the Felarx? Or shotgun vendetta instead (when I actually have a R5 god damn it)

fierce lark
#

crux is great if you prefer the incarnoff, helps keep it up

#

if you're actually using the incarnon i would still run deadhead

vendetta is a meme

360% dmg and 30% reload
180% multishot and 75% reload

one requires you get kills

one requires you to go up the ass and then get a kill

it's pretty rare for non-melee engagements to naturally happen within 5m, so you're likely gonna be forcing yourself to kill things slower just to keep up vendetta

#

primary deadhead or overcharge are better on a normal felarx though

near crater
#

In that case it would be good if the trigger range increases with the arcane Rank

fierce lark
#

and the reward is multishot, of which you get +230% from galv hell already, vs base damage, which usually comes at a value of 160-240% from savvy or 165% from ppb (in some cases both)

#

and you get half the multishot as you get damage from merciless/deadhead

This is what I have rn

fierce lark
#

is it?

just checked the wiki

fierce lark
#

yeah it is, that makes base dmg arcanes even better as savvy isn't adding to it

#

so ppb/arcanes are your only source of base dmg

#

that actually makes me want to switch off crux back to deadhead lol

what would be a good mod setup for mesa?
