i wonder how many transmuters i've used
Question for yall
How would you build the sepulcrum with a riven for +180% crit dmg, -50% fire rate?
If you’ve already got the tennocon digital ticket, a lot of those baro mods can just wait for that
you're going to hate me but i'd reroll because -firerate on anything but a semi-auto weapon that can use a cannonade mod is a completely uphill battle in my opinion
So far I’ve played around with a enervate build running acceleration for 90% firerate to offset
But I haven’t tested any of it yet
And beforehand I had the riven at 290% dmg and 96% firerate
Which I stupidly rerolled for more crit, before realizing the weapon really hungers damage up
I mean normally I’d agree, but I have 7 forma in and other weapons to riven reroll, so trying to do what I can to make it work lmao
Worst case I’ll reroll it lol
good on a few weapons that don’t want FR that badly
like latron
i got latron heat inherit
so i dont use that one
even my ogris, i still dont use it
heat inherit 
But so how’d you build the sepulcrum
good question, i dont
Cause I was originally going all heat dmg with cascadia flare

Fair
But if u did
Heat inherit should genuinely be removed from this game
he have tox, electrictity and blast,...
just make heat work like the other statuses it’ll be better
you should said remove "DOT" from this game
…what?
heat inherit is type of DOT build
yesn’t
the same with tox, elect, blast,...
for frames like Ember heat inherent is almost entirely a negative since it just cripples your weapons
heat inherit literally only works with heat tho
Again - HOW would you build sepulcrum
With a crit dmg +180
-fire rate -50
Guys is those stats are good?
all just go the same place, make the DOT work
Not if/should I build it
I’ve already built it
We’re in too deep lads, we’re looking at patch options
imo heat should be set to inheret the STRONGEST stack instead
say whats the other stat on the riven?
Heliocor my beloved
I think +puncture dmg
Should i reroll?
twin ill be so for real dont roll harmony
heat is the only problematic dot tho
Alr
Its riven dispo makes functionally every roll unslottable
not ideal but hey the weapon is mostly puncture i suppose - soooooo
So how much should i sell this for
I cant find buyers for syndicate mods sadly
the same with tox, electrictity and blast
Exactly
That’s why I’m thinking a enervate build - but I didn’t have time to test
But I got crit dmg to 11.4x
But dmg went from 800 to 300
no
we’re talking about heat inherit stop bringing up statuses that don’t have it
call it 20
heat inherit is a problem with heat, every other dot is fine
you said remove heat inherit, you should said remove DOT mechanic instead
all are DOT
heat inherent doesnt function like other DOT’s
I get it I get it
Sepulcrum is inherent heat
But regardless
This is about the RIVEN
Rip
but heat is the only one with a problem, the other dots are fine
its technically DOT
why would we remove every single one if only one of them has a problem
whats the problem you talking about
They are saying that Heat DOT’s should function like other DOT’s
heat inherit
I feel its fine with heat inherit
Bruh
heat inherit can kill heat frames, esp if being used as a platform
and personally im not run heat inherit on all my build, i usually patch with elect (not influence) or tox
heat inherent is fine except for the cases where it should be great
Its absolutely attrocious on Ember
hurts uriel a lot too
Just using an ability ruins her damage output as a platformer
we love griefing everyones heat dmg >:]
on the brightside uriel can acid shells sorta
so its less of an issue
Idc about the DOT and inherent heat argument
Let’s focus on the question I posted
RIVEN
SEPULCRUM
180% crit. Dmg
-50% firerate
What build do u do????
it’s a lot worse tho cuz of heat inherit
only problem i got is heat inherit with temple, idk if they fixed it or not
reroll
all that passive heat kills acid shells’ dmg output
fire rate negative kills it
If I’m rerolling idc about asking in builds discussion cause ik what I’m looking for
for which frame
Offset with acceleration
Let’s not think about the firerate
Let’s think about the high crit
it matters
why do you have to, that’s a terrible riven
why run a riven if u have to spend an arcane slot to make it usable
hell on that note, why even use sepulcrum
sell or disolve the riven and you dont have to think about that
sent you some build ideas
Because I find that fun?
entrati weapons go hard
idk why people getting so crazy into riven build
Nah I would rather build the weapon
Per the question
Dope
Ty
you find -FR fun?
riven should be the last option
this is such cope
cope riven on cope gun rip
If I can build around it
Like my -status duration hespar with the one status duration mod on it to compensate
I mean it will get prime eventually
...
if you have to build around a negative then its a bad riven
aight, time to end this conversation
that isnt building around it bruh thats just using an extra mod slot for barely a benefit
@solar reef which arcane worth to use on my harmony I try make a build 20k+ dmg
Isn’t a cope
Legit question
The point of rivens is to use less slots
run afflictions
Alr
It’s worth is in building around it for the benefits that you cannot get with normal mods
Like even more crit dmg
read what its gimmick does before you even start building it
fun fact
you can get that with normal mods
Or to boost stats beyond what you can without riven mods
I think people keep forgetting that instead of slurping meta juice
Yeah thx for the tips
guarantee a hespar riven isnt matching a reg mod
No you can’t
If you’ve used all mod solutions you can push past the cap via riven
I can take that bet
riven is a meta way
But you still wouldn’t believe it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
u arent using all mod solutions if you have a slot free for status duration be fr
i’m not slurping meta juice i’m telling you that killing your fire rate will hurt ur build more than help it
basically, the idea is that it compiles all stacks of status into one separate damage instance-
afflictions adds stacks of applied status to lifted enemies-
Harmony is a scythe, thus forced slash on heavies and forced lift-
No it’s meant to upgrade weapons that are less viable in the meta
Not be used solely on meta weapons
more slash stacks = compiled damage
I agree
But I’m asking moreso about if enervate is worth it on the sepulcrum
Since that’s the main boon the riven delivers
if you cant build a weapon properly wihout asking people here, i dont think you know whats the point of riven
the extra crit damage does not make up for the slot you have to waste trying to fix its negative
I normally would be fine
But I asked BUILD DISCUSSIONS
To DISCUSS what other builds people would consider given the cicumstances
the consideration we give is to drop the riven
build idsscussions but where is your build
What if all crit mods are used together
Pushes the normal max 8x crit to 11.5x crit dmg
we can build wihout touching the weapon
then you get diminishing returns
I don’t think enervate is good here
sepulcrum has decent crit
I was literally saying used all crit dmg mods - to get 11.5x crit
enervate is almost exclusively preferred on weapons with bad base CC, such as Nukor
show the build and people will say hows your config
you wouldnt use it here
THANK YOU FOR SOME FEEDBACK - GOAT RIGHT HERE
Makes sense since a simple crit -fr mod would make it 90% crit chance
So prob either replace target cracker or another route
if your build could deal orange above, using enervate is pointless
I wanna see this build cuz wdym ur using 5 crit dmg mods on a build
thats yikes
the amount of slots this build is wasting has gotta be legendary
either its a build or theres larping taking place
- a riven
why
they have a riven but it sucks
oh dearie
people nowaday getting crazy into riven
no
cant live without riven
I gambling archon shards
It’s just to see what would happen!!!!!
then use this if you want
SCIENCE
You mean overframe?
no
Yeah but I used kuva
Underframe
underframe is a damage calc
Overframe mid, ninjase is like carrying that site
Why would I damage calc a riven that doesn’t exist lmao
with mid build
I run it by the seat of my pants!!!!
what
Why is it that when I use weapons like laetum or Burston incarnon, I am actually able to damage certain enemies like legacytes and voidrigs but when I use literally anything else, I do no damage?? Is it something to do with the weapon itself or is it more so the modding?
both
laetum should go with crit build if you want more dmg
noncrit is cheap way to finish the build
not what theyre asking Can
you add it
I don’t get it cuz the stats show my sycotid doing 4k per projectile while my laetum shows just 1k but laetum deletes everything while sycotid doesn’t even scratch the lvl 400 voidrigs
stats screen doesn't show the full picture
especially when it comes to incarnon weapons
scyotid doesn't have a separate buff that says +50% headshot damage, or another separate buff that says +2000% damage randomly on non-crits, or +1200% base damage
just build scyotid for fire rate ammo max and multishot
as much multishot as possible
but no conditional multishot because thats stinky
Mhm
I just used the sycotid as an example. Whenever I go into archimedia with what I think are fully built weapons like cyanex or those 1999 weapons, it does nothing besides clear the trash enemies. Same goes for eidolon lures, those bots in descendia, or just tanky boss enemies. I usually invest a lot into these weapons and follow guides
better weapons are better, is the tl;dr
you said "none of my weapons feel as good as these two" and then listed two of the best-in class weapons in the game
it's just weapon diff
cyanex is fire, dunno how youre not fighting tankier enemies with it
burston prime incarnon is like, depending who you ask top 1 primary weapon in the game
same with laetum
It’s not about feeling as good it’s just that they’re one of the few weapons in my arsenal that is able to kill voidrigs in like 2 seconds
as for the 1999 weapons from minerva... those uhhhhh leave alot to be desired
Others take over a minute
yeah, again, weapon diff
still you're comparing the best weapons to literally aanything else
there's a pretty gargantuan difference between random weapons that are nowhere near top tier vs the literal best rifle and best pistol in the game
and the burston prime in particular excels at exactly that, single target dps
Dang.. I wish all weapons were viable for archimedia at most
thats like saying my atomic bomb destroys things faster than my bicycle
they are
they are
or at least almost all of them
i just be using doohickeys that i havent touched in months and still do fine
nothing is ever gonna be as good as a burston prime but like
i built the shitty stradavar prime for EDA last week and only had ember to buff it, and it worked fine, still killed things
weapons may be bad, but mods are good
Able to kill the voidrigs and legacytes?
voidrigs and legacytes are weak even in sp
not sure about mechs, didn't have disruption last week
but ive killed legacytes with some sus stuff
and most of time in Archimedias
also, if you ever have a truly bad loadout for archimedea, you can abuse archgun deployer
especially now that they've allowed you to use that with gear embargo
Larkspur go brrrrr
there's actually just nothing stopping you from brute forcing every single eda/eta week with a grattler or maus or larkspur
and baro is still up with primed combustion rounds & dual rounds lol
or nechramech depending on modifies but ye
Does nokko’s archgun work?
its ussally pretty free with either archgun or nechamech
idk haven't used it
bonewidow + anything = profit
same -_-
abrucept is good
i cant be bothered to collect shooms
for like specifily eda/eta i would just gratler
i love larkspur with enervate
i should just spend plat on the archun adapters so i can stop using naramon but cba
I use dexterity arcanes and naramon personally
just put them on ur primary and secondary not like ur using them in a melee build anyways
not anymore...
they all stack tho so like u get like 30 seconds of combo duration
theyre like a quick farm in deepmine bounties
if u got one in primary secondary adn 2 in arch gun
I don’t equip primaries and secondaries
why
filthy fissure man
Dilutes fissure bonuses, but also, holding Q to equip every mission and anytime you transition modes like to archwing is annoying as heck
Idk what default keybinds for things are fyi
what
why would you need a fissure bonus tho also ur just missing out on amalgam barrel diffusion for free roll speed even if u dont use them u should still have them equiped its just cope to not
fissures are not that serious
The roll speed really doesn’t do much, I use Arcane Circumvent even and didn’t find it particularly useful. Always having melee damage or strength/range as fissure bonuses on my Excalibur melee only setup is definitely worth it
but wtvr, to each theyre own
I have a grimoire stat stick setup that has things like amalgam barrel diffusion and didn’t find it helpful. Once you’re used to particular timings for things, you’re better off sticking to it
Overkilling things by 100x even at level cap isn’t particular useful
exaclty my point so why say u want to play for fissure bonus
I tune a lot of my builds going to level cap around those bonuses, especially in void cascade where you can have one all the time
theres no a single cap build that requires u to have fissure tho lmao
My most recent level cap runs involved 177% strength and no subsume which worked just fine at 1 shotting thrax ghosts even at level cap
Yeah maybe I am wrong for expecting weapons to work well for every situation and without external buffs
thrax ghosts are always easy tho
I even ran surging dash while having dext arcanes on heavy weapon and naramon just for the memes
game of maths, weapons are all better/worse than each other numerically
i mean yeah its excalibur ur gonna one shot everything so why even play for fissure bonus and not equip a primary and seconday so u can dexterity and just have more comfiness
Those thraxes are the most limiting thing in void cascade, so its the standard for top end damage requirements. One Slash Dash killing them is all that’s needed
Talking Slash Dash without Exalted Blade drawn too
i like demolisher than them
Exactly, the attenuation nerfs changed my builds a lot because it really freed up the top end requirements
game become easier post jade shadows
That’s where no subsume melee afflictions excalibur does just fine at killing them, especially with arcane circumvent
Can just Slash Dash and melee them and not worry about the nullifier effect, furious javelin not even required
maybe the real exalted blade was the ceramic dagger incarnon we met along the way
yall got any decent Jupiter build? cant figure out how to get this to do the damage it was doin in Duviri
ceramic dagger is the best one. low effort for outburst arcane and boost parkour velocity,...
do note that the jupiter isnt anything write home about
you wont get it to do magical things
some amount of this can probably be attributed to decrees
yeah i mean its not that bad if u use it in shotgun mode tho
god what I would do for Molten Mettle to be an augment
it literally would have perfect as an ash augment during stalker season since everything is heat based anyways
its handlin level 80 stuff mostly fine, its a fun gun to just bring for the sake of it
every gun handles level 80 fine
this is what i got on it thusfar
rank 7 galv chamber ur missing a mod and arcane
and wondering why its not doing damage
wheres you CD mod
ive asked what CD is like, 30 times. nobody t ells me
what is CD
i aint got like, any space on this rn
@solar reef thx alot btw for the help I enjoy playing harmony now with Uriel
mm. maybe
Alr did
once i get an affinity booster
This gotta be a good roll right?
nope that's awful
might be the worst role ive ever seen
Damn, but there's no negative?
u want a negative....
Why??
makes the positives stronger
Bro hasn’t heard of Sanctuary Onslaught
boosts the positives by 30%
I did not know that that's good to know
but also the positives are just not good
should i rerole?
Hence why 3 positives and A Negative are the usual ideal setup
+toxin is okay but by itself it's just worse than maligma force
Negative attack speed 😭
i'd keep
That’s pretty funny
-AS is harmless
Yes u really want Crit chance
wiki says 23.75-25%
how people do oneshots on excal with 1 skill? i want do this too
it's my build but i have not much damage (but from 4-th skill i have not bad damage at least for low SP +- 300 lvl)
i don't rly think you need cc on a magistar riven? you're already sac steel + blood rush
just rerole lk 20 times all ready no good role at all
blood rush on a heavy attack build?
i find it very hard to believe cc is in any way better than cd
No it’s not
Lengthens slam animation
It’s awful
It is u just cancel slam with roll anyways what
there's a slam animation?
isnt it for red crit damage?
ive never not rolled after a slam lol
Ur 8x combo blood rush is still 360% cc
magistar inc has +30 ic and you run corrupt charge on the build normally, so it's an 8x heavy build
Why u using killing blow
cuz i dont need cd
Also your riven is ussaly the pressure point spot
it's corrupt charge unless you're running ready steel
curant damage btw
I just noticed that yeah no corrupt
There’s literally no reason for pressure point to be on ur build
When ur riven gives u base dmg
280%
what should i replace
You don’t need to mod for cd if ur using galv steel and shards
pressure point is fine, there's not really anything better for the slot, you have to stack something
but kb needs to be an IC mod, having to light attack to 6x for incarnon is actually atrocious
how do you even fit everything
6 forma?
Take out pressure point for corrupt charge and killing for focus
guys? so can anyone suggest good build for excal for oneshoting with first skill?
slot-wise, I mean
but I could just be misinformed, I don't play slamspam builds
focus radon turns toxin into corrosive which is going to make corpus and corrupted corpus shieldgate your slams
Orokin reactor is I don't miss speal the name is give point slot
Ye if ur vs corpus go radon if ur vs grinner go energy
i guess my damage is good enough
- it's catalyst for weapons
- I was talking about slots, not capacity
it's magistar, just keep pure toxin and don't think about it, it will 1shot every enemy in the game up to and including levelcap thrax grineer corrupted acolytes everything
Yep
how this build oneshots everything in SP?
same reason why i don't understand why ppl pay for magistar rivens
i can translate to english all mods if it needs
Oh alr mb
magistar riven improves the ttk by 0.00s
It just makes it more consistent
you can't make it faster than 0
It’s mainly just for level cap tho anything else u don’t need a riven
even at levelcap everything dies in 1 slam
I mean without buffs and stuff u have to strip
levelcap thrax don't have 50m+ hp
the highest damg i did is 900m
guys you ignoring me? :/
With like xatas ur gonna kill most of the time but yeah
brathe chill
A lot of people like to use infested mobility and just run around or some builds can’t use damage buffing subsumes
i just rly dont understand why that guy have 200 mln damage per skill with 150+- str while i have 214-300 str and i do only 2-10 mln
@wary forge this lowk works better
so can anyone please explain me HOW to do this? how it works? what i do wrong?
I can explain. We can switch to DMs and switch to russian there so we don't pollute the chat
Np
okay
I don't Even know how much my uriel build do cuz is count at each sec
LMAO
“i have a magistar” ftfy
Anybody has pointers on building the dual viciss?
New player here. Just got a shard. Was thinking about using it on oraxia as it is my main but not sure what to choose
Or should I use it in another Warframe?
yeah, yellow isnt great on her I dont think
use it somewhere else
My second most used Warframes are mag and voruna, is it worth in any of those?
purgator-1! (komorex, too but thats a sniper if you wanna get picky (and sporothrix with that augment i think))
yeah, either one
cast speed
sporo would have to be without the aug, the augment locks the pt iirc
actually its listed as being locked to 0 punchthrough without the aug
i has it backweirds
does purgator have multiplicative gunco?
Assuming nobody answer my question in the gameplay channel, I'll ask here
What are the buffs that Umbra makes you lose once you change to operator?
Cus I've play hin for a while and I dont lose anything
Excal's waves don't benefit from blood rush right?
hey guys, ive just got to general sargas ruk but i think im doing something wrong as i spent about 20 minutes fighting him and he only got to a bit below half, i was using the boltor but i also have access to the paris, braton and thornbak. im a melee user so idk what to use for this fight
no
ok so the general rule of thumb is that subsumed abilities that rely on duration will be remove from your excalibur umbra (unless you use the augment that disables his sentience) , some non-duration based abilities will also be removed as well because they dont seem to like being transfered over to a specter.
so like yareli's aquablades will be dispelled every time you go operator or wrathful advance will go away (less of an issue since it had a short duration anyways and you just keep casting it over and over)
another example is that koumei's omamori also gets dispelled, but it appears as if it hasnt since you'll still have the ribbon things floating around you, but you can check your abilities bar to see it is no longer active and needs to be recast
Thats the thing, spelled buffs of any kind just dont dissapear
oh man if they randomly patched it recently i'll be so happy, going into the simulacrum rn
You'll tell me
back from the simulacrum and yeah wrathful advance still gets ended early by switching to and from operator
Maybe some specific subsumes?
thats why i said general rule of thumb, i know hideous resistance of all things doesnt get dispelled by going operator
Weeeird, in my case doesn't happen
honorable mention to the following arcanes:
- arcane blessing (+max health per orb picked up) doesnt transfer over to umbra, but any damage taken by umbra affects your health when you switch back to him (unless he is downed) your health will drop down to whatever umbra's max health would be without arcane blessing (aka switching to and from operator will drain 1200hp every time)
- arcane circumvent (steal shields/armor/overguard) doesnt transfer over to umbra either, but it doesnt -remove- overguard that you gained
- arcane persistence (remove shields and gain a healthgate) DOES remove umbra's shields, but it does NOT limit how much damage he can take a second soooo he kinda just dies instantly since he has no shieldgate to save him
are you using the Warrior's Rest Augment?
I didn't even know that existed lol
strange! could I see what your setup is like?
And Im sure the guy stills moving himself, Im confused as well
The mod build?
yes please
Bruh my harmony riven +98 X2 Crit change on heavy attack +93 Melee dmg +46 heat and -45.2 status durations is that worth to use?
sooo you dont have any subsumed abilities?
then you have virtually nothing to worry about
Only happens with my own subsumes habilities?
because its subsumed abilities that typically get dispelled when switching to/from operator
º
I realized, 18k Endo what
do you have a companion that already inflicts viral procs for you? (panzer vulpaphyla for example)
Yea, I assume pure elec then?
bingo bongo
hey so im stealing this?
mean
@next tendon the riven just lets me use something besides condition overload, could put that there instead and get similar/better mileage
you will need to outsource your critical chance with something like wrathful advance tho
i will use gladitor might
it only has like 5% crit chance by default
so uhhhh you could but you'd only have like 10% crit chance at max combo lol
gladiator might gives 10% for every combo
and that 10% scales off your base combo
are u sure i used on bo and got red crit
so 5% + (5% * 110%) = 10.5% crit chance on dark sword
could also rely on arcane avenger and/or a adarza kavat but those arent on-demand necessarily, wrathful is just cast-and-go - oh or harrow/sevagoth but eh
actually you do not want to use nourish with anything using melee doughty, because melee doughty requires your weapon to be as much puncture damage as possible
ok thx
i have like 30x or so from doughty on my halikar wraith
is that... german?
yeah
im still mad they nerfed doughty because of gara - making it so the crit multiplier doesnt apply to special attacks that deal non-puncture damage sucks
i had just finished making a syam doughty build, too
doughty works wonderfully on Anku too btw
this is also true!
bc the incarnon does not override the puncture but adds it ontop
can u link ur build .-.
its so lovely doing millions of dmg for no reason
actually i dont have a proper setup for the anku personally
Doughty is so weird with how it changes depending on stance moveset
i mean dark sword
fr, makes it detrimental to try and use on hammers because every combo adds bonus impact at some point - but it does also work in your favor since Iron Pheonix's poke of death™ reduces your slash/impact damage by 90%
anku incarnon good?
i'll still look at it lol
I remember it being weird too with syam’s heavy attack heat forced conversion. I haven’t ever done isolated testing to see if that changes happens before or after though
i really enjoy using it, has a fun little loop to it where you mix in a slide attack every so often so all your other attacks force slash procs
in my experience the bonus critical damage doesnt carry over since its a special move and you're also losing damage on the attack wave because IPS mods dont seem to apply to it - if you're leaning into the unique move its better rely on the projectile have multiCO (for some reason)
Its nothing particularly special in my opinion
disagree
but uhhh silver lining is you can do non-special move heavy attacks on syam by performing a slide first, but the nikana second-heavy attack is a little wonky to aim when you need to slide first every time
its quirky but i find my anku doing more dmg than my hate
which i also have a riven for
Yup, and this slide heavy REALLY sucks if you have a -slash riven for a doughty build 😄
Anku doesn’t throw projectiles though which is far more interesting to me at least. Melee only player problem probably
i thought slash status effects didnt scale with slash damage modifiers, just things like base damage/faction damage/elemental damage
Aaand second to that, I play Excalibur who has plenty of slash damage 😄
boooooo
I thought so too but a -slash riven really screws over that feature. It was even a problem before Techrot Encore when stat sticking for Slash Dash
ngl my anku riven is so nice
the -crit on slide is perfect too bc it dont want my slides doing dmg, i just want it to build combo and activate the gimmick
i'll poke around at that actually, that's neat to know
I swapped off using doughty on syam for this reason since I use the slide heavy alternative attack quite often on a few melee weapons. I think my last variation on it I was experimenting with blast and either duplicate or afflictions
Since it kind of needs -slash to make it worth it, sort of
It treads that line iirc
oh no i absolutely agree doughty syam isnt the ideal way to go, i only think like 3-5 melee weapons in the entire game get worthwile mileage out of the arcane and all it takes is a squadmate or alchemy objective to disrupt the entire setup
Looks like I was last experimenting with exposure and a heat/cold/-combo riven
So blast/toxin/corrosive giga damage, sheet damage on the build being 3153.4 without exposure up. Furious Javelin providing stupid increase past that
Doughty tbh has an obvious place on only one melee weapons if you so choose, coda motovre 😄
I also rolled a range/as/puncture/-slash okina riven and have been playing around with doughty on it because of that
so im back from toying around with a skana and syam riven that both have -slash and didnt find that the reduced slash damage affected the forced slash procs on either
they definitely did less initial damage on hit (which was very clear with the skana since its mostly slash) but syam's decent status chance and large puncture damage percentage allows doughty to compensate in that situation
I don’t remember if it reduced the initial hit or status damage
That makes sense though
The way it affected slash dash isn’t possible to test now as a point of comparison 😄
nah just the initial hit since it is a damage reduction, regardless tho doughty syam is an absolute sidetrack that i'd only really consider if DE made it so the special heavy attack didnt completely overwrite the default heavy since doughty doesnt apply to the energy wave
maybe if it required you to be blocking also? idk, kind of a beggars/choosers suggestion when other syam setups are objectively much better
What if they made it so that doughty also converted externally applied elemental damage to puncture?
oh that would be silly - still dont think it would have the scalability of afflictions or influence but it would be very nice since if im running doughty i feel like I need to know that playing public runs the risk of someone inadvertently reducing my own damage through no intentional fault of their own
Would fix the public matchmaking problem with it while also opening up some crazy stuff with like thermal transfer
The goal should be making other melee arcanes as powerful as influence or afflictions 🙂
That’s just a now thought of idea on ‘fixing’ doughty’s issues
A thought I’ve had for a while with Melee Duplicate would be to have the arcanes force the critical chance to 100% which would prevent external sources like Charm or Cat’s Eye from breaking it while also preventing you from having to do weird stuff to reach cc% with mods
alternatively if there was a way for it to 'exclude' external factors in the calculation I think that would help a bunch, but i bet a change like that would be accomplished by relying on the arsenal stat-screen's status value instead of an active snapshot (like how Mecha Overdrive or Hunter Synergy operate)
Coding wise, it could provide a +cc% relative to the base critical chance to reach exactly 100% and disable all other sources of critical chance
oops i meant for melee doughty!
Its at least possible knowing how Charm used to do that
Yeah I thought about that too, coding wise I would hope they could’ve done that already but apparently not 😄
I completely agree duplicate should lock you at no more than 100% crit chance and ignore external factors so it is properly active, for a legendary arcane I don't think it should have you jumping through that many hoops to maintain effectiveness when all the others (besides doughty lol) are so lenient
I think it would make it on par with afflictions and influence if it forced the cc% to 100%. On weapons with low cc% like Exalted Blade, it would make it a viable option for even just Slash Dash as an example. Other melee weapons would also benefit, but I look at Exalted Blade as the extreme example because of its total set of mechanics that includes Slash Dash
So you’d free up 1-2 mod slots
That’s a legendary arcane to me 😄
Crescendo was nice when it was 12/finisher bugged. At 6 it feels bad now
OH and i did test this, it was not worth it haha, exalted blade has such a low base status chance and puncture % that you'd barely even see more than a 1.0x bonus critical damage bonus for slash dash to rely on
and if you tried to build around the heavy attack (before they fixed the heavy attack not converting to elemental damage) with chromatic blade it was a very similar story - the cost of building into your worse stats outweighed the benefit of slightly increasing your critical damage and since heavy attacks waves dont scale with combo and the +puncture damage mods didnt apply to your purely elemental light attacks the 'most efficient' method was a heavy attack spam build (and that was boring as hell!)
actually hold on, i got a picture of the highest doughty bonus i could get on exalted blade
truly incredible stuff
MMMMMMM i wanna hop into simulacrum just to showcase my anku but i have hw raaaaaaaaa
Does anyone have a good tenet plinx build?
FYI slam doesn’t receive Chromatic Blade’s benefit. This is especially powerful if you use a toxin modded EB with emissive as heat on an afflictions build. You can get Gas normally then slam to get toxin+corrosive that stacks from afflictions
Like as of current patch. I have a video about it showing a build variation of my normal Afflictions build that used to run gas+cold to make use of Archon Flow
Exalted Blade’s slam and heavy slam also lifts so it reliably procs afflictions
oh yeah i saw that video of yours pop up recently - very interesting stuff, but I completely overdosed on slam builds because of magistar being the best melee to bring into faceoff and i grinded A LOT of faceoff so i could get every single conclave mod and cosmetics
I use something similar your more simple slash dash afflictions / impetus setup since I really like the extra depth it gives to excalibur gameplay - was very fun to use it alongside an archgun with primary or secondary dexterity
still miss being able to subsume over exalted blade entirely back when stat sticking with a thing (not that i miss stat sticking tho), losing radial blind's crowd control to wrathful advance's raw damage is a shame
I’ve tried to get attention to the issues around slash dash and exalted blade but those threads get literally nuked on the forums.
I’ve suggested making Exalted Blade a static holstered/unholstered type weapon similar to how your equipped melee works and instead bound to his passive. That would let you subsume off Exalted Blade without making Slash Dash worthless
Common misconception with that idea is it wouldn’t work like garuda’s claws, just changing the way the 4 works to just holstered/unholstering versus summoning/unsummoning
yeah... cant talk about excalibur without people thinking you're only talking about excalibur because of excalibur prime's situation (and only his situation) rather then the actual mechanics of the frame itself
Yup, I can almost talk about that more often as a founder, but yet we still can’t which is dumb
Btw, made a thread about melee arcanes if you want to contribute https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1506886-suggestions-on-buffing-melee-arcanes-to-bring-them-to-the-tier-of-influence-and-afflictions/
i got a bud who mostly plays atlas and he constantly feels bad for me since building for landslide gives you 3 different abilities to subsume over but building for slash dash only gives you two abilities to (realistically) choose to replace
Yup, and even then, only 1 being radial blind. Furious Javelin is just too powerful to not use and most of my viewers based on a poll prefer using it
My solution to that problem is a radial blind augment called like “Sundering Blind” that gives it a ‘defensive stealing’ feature similar to Arcane Circumvent. Then even a cherry on top would be lifesteal on finishers for afflicted enemies. The defense stealing being like 10%/10sec base, the seconds only really applying to armor
That augment would compete with Furious Javelin but I’d likely end up using both and no subsume like i do now
excal could absolutely use some kind of defensive option besides just blinding targets, i agree - i'll type something up on that forum posts after work later too
ummmmm atlas has only 2 abilities to subsume over
the wall and the rumblers
petrify is too valuable for mass petrification and ore gaze
well if you use rumbled there's a weird build there but im not familiar with it myself, my bud is the one that uses it to nuke demolysts on the spot (not a particular amazing feat these days but its still surpising to see happen in person)
I’ve sort of ignored Radial Blind in rework ideas, but tbh we’re due augments and this ‘defensive stealing’ is proven to be sufficient with Arcane Circumvent and how well that synergizes with Slash Dash. Radial Blind getting this feature wouldn’t make him any more powerful, just be another option with greater QoL and flexibility in gameplay
yeah i only subsume over the wall bc the rumblers are nice enough to have
if every frame they release moving forward is going to be as self-sufficient as the as the last four have been then the older frames definitely deserve to be given at least a little more flexibility to even the playing field
Also, talking about melee doughty and converting external elemental bonuses to puncture, this would make it viable on any melee weapon if you have something like nourish
alright i gotta scurry off to work, thank you for the amazing conversation Agall, take care out there!
Does Viral quills dmg count for Synth Deconstruct?
In my testing, yes
pretty sure yea
Even Reflect counts
oh damn okay
Its a very powerful interaction
i never use panzer tho
it does work ye
it never does the viral quills as often as i want it to
Panzer OP, i only recently started using it like a few months ago. I still generally use Smeeta though
even if its in the top left corner of the mod menu
I only use panzer for some nukes otherwise diriga or other sentinels tbh
so it should be prioritized and yet its never used
I kinda hate using sentinels because I can't fit all the stuff I want into them
It always feels like you're sacrificing one of your children when modding them
im liking my sunika kubrow
loving how it just obliterates an eximus
which is nice when running frames that rely on CC
since overguard blocks that
but we know this alr
Do you spread them?
what
You can spread the spore that inflict viral
by killing the enemy or shooring the spore
well i mean yeah
i do kill the procced enemy
maybe im just too good at also killing everything around them too
Is tesla bank gyre a meme or is it actually pretty strong?
Vicious Bond is more dependent on your Warframe’s ability iirc
naw
Yeah, it doesn’t interact with companion abilities but your Warframe’s abilities
Err and I mistaken on that one?
vicious bond is the strip one
Per the wiki it is warframe abilities that trigger the spread
strip on melee hits but spreads if damaged by abilities
Yes, warframe/operator abilities
theoretically i want to put terrify on equinox but which ability should i put it (and no, 1 isnt an option)
ye theyre asking if the quills can count as the melee hit
Don’t think so otherwise tandem bond would stack instantly
2
but u should drop 1 fr
see its rly tricky cuz wiki doesnt say pretty sure but the jase build guide says this
Tandem bond - good on frames requiring melee combo eg [Baruuk], [Gara], [Khora], [Atlas]. [Viral Quills] count as an extra 3 melee combo per spore, meaning Panzer attacking gains up to 18 combo per enemy hit (assuming up to 6 spores). You can reach x12 combo in 10 seconds if you add grouping.
I feel like ive not used panzer properly in so long I literally have no idea anymore 💀
I’ve spent a long time using panzer and tandem bond, what stacks it the best is actually Swipe
I don’t think I’ve ever seen quills provide combo
wouldnt swipe just make it use quills less
would it???
Not sure, swipe too good
istg
Ive generally not has issues with panzer providing a ton of viral, but i only need 1 stack to stack it with slash dash
if thats why my panzer doesnt use viral quills i WILL crash out
Worth a test if you’re in game
swipes technically an ability so maybe
I basically only use kavats because of how good swipe is with tandem bond
WRAHHHHHHH
But I’ve never not ran swipe with panzer and ive always used quills with panzer
just wasnt worth building cats for dmg / swipe back in the day and ive never gone back to a dmg pet even now that theyre pretty strong lul
I dont rly see the fun of having a companion that kills on its own
pretty sure swipe doesn't interact with abilities in any way, swipe itself isn't an ability
it just makes claws have higher range and hit multiple targets
See in my objectively proven to be factual experience, if you let your kavat do a lot of murders, they’re more likely to bless you with double drops 😄
Happy kitty = more loot
oh maybe im just mixing it with the other kavat attack mods tbh
why is there so many
wabuffet
Swipe is the one where they get extra range and attack multiple enemies. It definitely allows Tandem Bond to stack more combo for you which is why I stick to Kavats. It was also required for kavats to be able to hit thrax ghosts when I did that before old peace to never have to go into operator during void cascade to kill thrax ghosts
it would be extremely weird if swipe was an actual ability given it's a claw mod and not a companion mod
but also like
put the diriga in the bag
Yeah I’m pretty sure its not an ability like sense fear or w/e its called
Speaking of Panzer is this the correct set up for priming?
anyone wanna help me make a good general use akbronco prime build
i have it
And then it's kind of just the same as most pistols
for pure priming you'd probably wanna run radon claws over synergy
(Nyx prime) is rush a good exilus for her or should i go for power drift?
pretty sure rush does nothing for absorb but i might be wrong
i think you might be right
might be wrong too
Idk if this regards builds but im pretty sure it does, is 700 plat for a +319% critical chance, +3.5 range and -84% impact, a solid price for a bo riven?
Okay, so I am REALLY enjoying Assimilate Nyx. Its very run and gun but I'm getting a little bummed by exactly how bad it is to move around. Are there any decent tools to mitigate that? Sliding is helpful with praedos equipped but I would love to be able to do some kind of further movement.
wrong place to ask
Where should I ask?
void sling
extremely fun
Amalgam barrel diffusion can speed up your rolls a ton
that wouldnt work
Very interesting....and timely. I literally have that crafting in foundry RIGHT NOW.
There was a bug where bouncing on a Nokko shroom would restore parkour
I remember seeing that. Wonder if its still up.
oh what, Rift strike do work with nyx
Yeah that sounds fun then
Still does according to wiki
I was alt tabbed, I didn't see it 
As of update 42 3/25/26, this Nyx interaction with Brightbonnet has been patched.
what weapons are good with uriel? rn im using nataruk, might use vinquibus. also, why is vinquibus uriel's signature?
boo
It was released with him and was used by him in the quest
Okay so Rift Strike could be fun. I wonder if the double jump mods work on her, that might really help
oh wait are there any bonuses to movement from companions?
wait no there is a healing while wallrunning thing thats what I was thinking of
YO. Ruvox has an always active +1 jump count at incarnon 4.
also, what weapons are good with him?
Kuva sobek has the thing with acid shells on uriel
yeah bc infernum functions like resupply and adds an additional damage instance
Potential Coda Motovore build, to be used with Kullervo + Rauta for combo stacking. I dunno, am I cooking or cooked?
Is this tenet plinx build I've found on overframe good?
cooked
why do you have so few mods
The ones on the bottom are the mods I'm planning to put in.
and why are you stacking jugulus barbs and carnis mandible when you ideally want to stick with just 1 element
my bad
stick with 1 physical element tho
to maximize the passive and doughty
Yeah, it's just that having equal slash and puncture lets me double dip on the passive.
it doesnt and from the screenie you somehow have prevaling slash
so you'll only benefit from slash's passive
Holy 0.5 damage.
prevaling is prevaling
Lmao.
i think im spelling that wrong
prevailing
i was infact spelling it wrong
also pop a potato on there but you know that alr
Yerp.
yerp
I'm just not sure if I want to invest in making this build or not.
Which one do I use/keep?
You’d want to stick to just stacking puncture mods and not using any slash or impact bonuses. The sheet damage will get stupid high which does translate nicely to kullervo
Why are you rolling wolf sledge rivens?
Cause I like wolf sledge
Then how are you building it?
i pick left just because it got better stat value than right'
Throwable bomb basically
Then the one on the left is more useful, but you’re going to run into a lot lot lot better options than either of those
could you possibly make a list
Riven rolling for a purpose is going to be complicated since it’ll be build dependent, otherwise you’re going to have to link literally every single roll for us to actually help you
Both of those are bad
You roll for what makes sense for the build you’re using unless you roll something actually profitable
Idk I don't have uriel I just know his heat ammo pickups work with acid shella
And also wolf sledge is just a worse Zaw/glaive
what reroll you need to stop when there a crit stat
wolf sledge is actually more status inclined
There’s no problem playing Wolf Sledge for fun, its just burning kuva without knowing what stats you should have for the build is just a waste of kuva
That doesn’t matter
once u get crit chance or crit dmg, you can share in here to pick or not
It’s literally just 100 times worse then a Zaw lol
Its not that simple
either which wolf sledge already have hight status base
But its 100 times more fun to throw : )
How is more fun it’s literally the same thing
hey fun fact: wolf sledge's throw can build stacks of melee animosity and benefits from melee animosity's crit chance bonus when thrown without resetting the bonus so long as you don't detonate it
up to you how useful that is, I just thought it was neat
What can be improved besides upgrading mods and arcanes
Zaws are literally a top 3 weapon in the entire game
They are on the same level as slam
cap-ybara
Y’all should really try playing other builds than what’s just advertised as ‘meta’ lol
indeed
Specifically talking about melee gameplay here too
indeed
I mean Zaw atp I wouldn’t say is even that unknown
anti-meta is the meta
I thought people knew that Zaws were op
Red numbers are crazy
Hence why I am throwing this hammer its fun to play around with
I still regularly use my nikana zaw since it was by far the easiest way to do guilty hardmode on excalibur
we love that
keep going gil
Nikana Zaw u can get healing from the amalgam diakyu mod ye
And that’s perfectly okay, just realize that rivens are complicated and the two options you showed us were both bad for how you’re trying to use the weapon
The dispo on wolf sledge is high enough to where even a +2 riven with damage and something else is actually good
hey i need help with a few builds
If you want to use it for fun then why invest in a riven tho that’s what I don’t get
Anything?
Rivens on a lot of weapons like that should be looked as mod consolidation tools with how cramped modding gets with things like Elementalist now a days. That’d be rolling like dmg/attack speed that replaces two mods and frees up a slot, if you want attack speed as an example
I’m not sure where this cd/as/rage nonsense comes from, but it definitely never got updated with Whispers in the Walls when they added arcanes
Go collective curse
I’ve profited a ton when I roll those, but ffs, those rivens are no where close to best
Wdym
u gotta chill brah, it for them to use not to sell
besides new arcanes, upgraded mods, id consider using his augment for his 2 to increase his survivability
I would use Arcane Persistence on him versus that first arcane. Even if its a rank 0
aww yeah another syam enjoyer
Triple umbral arcane persistence kullervo is easy mode
i mean high duration with his 2's augment is alr free
Then I wouldn’t advertise cd/range/as as the best options then lol
go ahead with the thesis what riven stat is META, not like op likely enjoy that
Its very easy for your overguard to get fully nuked once you start pushing higher levels. Using his 2 as a source of healing, status immunity, and ‘gate’ with persistence is like a whole other level
Yeah range does nothing for wolf sledge lol
There are no meta riven stats, there’s particular riven stats that are best for particular melee weapons and their builds
mmm, maybe i should get kullervo for the 4th time to test that out
I said screw it rerolled
+221% crit chance
+113% crit damage
That better?
you keep yappin like but no statement
holy, what was wolf dispo atm
I actually have a build video on this. You can entirely ignore his #2 augment that way and its very comfortable versus the pretty alarming issues he can run into pushing enemy levels that can 1 shot his overguard
shameless plug lol
im joking
damn quite nice
it has like what 4-5 dispo rn
Yeah, its at least drop in to the build, but wolf sledge’s crit and crit damage are pretty bad
You just cast his 2 and ur good it’s also just comfy to use and it continually applies blast to everything around you
Can someone help me?
Good question!
niles as soon as you post your builds you will get help
you are in fact in the builds discussion channel
Its at 4
I kinda cant i have no phone
awh i was close
Are you on pc
theyre on xbox
xbox
You can take a picture on Xbox and send it on discord
Whats the actuallt proper way of building Gauss Prime?
You could also just tell us what you’re trying to build and we can point you towards good builds
are you asking for the build? warframe or weapon?
who says theres a proper way of building anything, thats why this channel exists
Warframe aka voruna prime
Then you discuss how its the proper way?
there two build
- Nuke via 4th and spam 1st for 3rd skill to do it aoe nuke
- weapon platform, that you subsume 3rd skill for roar, xata whisper etc etc
bonus: 3rd. equip every possible sprint mod to yeet 1st skill
Someone here could probably provide a good voruna build and you can then compare it to yours
Already got third 😉
There’s an entire thread here on voruna bro
here for referance, also got decent description if wanna go more depth:
just dont trust the stat calculator on the left side
Are dual tox decent and usable without the incarnon since I cant get it for 2 weeks?
I had 6 forma into torid before it got an incarnon adapter
Used it on nekros for defense missions to create death pockets
Dual coda torx is like non incarnon version but better if you like dual pistols ig
And u get mastery for putting 5 forma into it anyways
we love torx
So why not if u got the resources
torxica lowkey better
What’s this ‘if you got the resources’ you speak of?
It’s definitely not better lol
5 forma
I’ll just take that has me being ignorant to the experience of people who haven’t played the game for over a decade
Yeah not everyone has forma like that
Atleast with coda weapons u get the mastery for it so even if u dont like it the forma doesnt really go to waste
I agree, but simultaneously if someone wanted to invest fully into an incarnon, the value in that is insane
I remember coda torx fondly when I power leveled it to 40 in ESO
Out of the coda i power leveled, it was definitely top 3
It’s good pretty fun 2
Very important
Idk how the general culture is within this discord, but I see a lot of “just use melee influence or slam” 😄
Yeah, I am running these right now.
I'm mostly just looking to gear up Nyx Prime and heard dual tox is very good for crowd clear as a secondary.
Its probably my second fave coda
(Bassocyst)
Well that is the best way to get good kpm
Cringe
It’s good great aoe and single target it can do it all really
Yeah I've been kicking myself for picking torid over it on last rota only to discover I prefer the tenet glaxion to the torid in literally every use case I've put it in
Dual ichor go brr
Dual Ichor tox/magnetic vortex with a 2100 kills in a coda confrontation go brr
Or just go influence 🙂
Influence can’t do that
I'll probably run the rift strike axes on her tbh
Or have self sustaining death zones across the map
Yknow maybe ill slap nezha subsume on my nyx
why not decoy + mind control meta?? TxT
is gauss with fast deflectiohn and aegis still immortal?
Toxin damage would like to talk
i guess it does
keep distance xD
I'll be honest I hadn't really been excited about the mind control portion of her kit.
I really love the armor strip bolts and the invuln aura that I can toggle when things get hairy to give myself some space and distance from the fight while still being in the middle.
The mind control part is really cool I just don't...do..it...
Idk what that means, I play Excalibur melee only
bo with riven
Could Gauss run head first into one of the toxin eximus and just die?
no u got it wrong, check decoy augment w mind control radiation stack from passive. it have exploit-able synergy that make mind control eximus aura go lvl cap scale
Right, I know what the synergy is. You decoy an enemy and then mind control the decoy making them invulnerable with wild scaling.
I didn't say it wasn't good just that I don't do it
Her armor strip bolts and her 4 are the parts of her kit I put the most into it for how I play her right now.
That’s a serious question, I’ve never played gauss or the gimmick shield build
I just know if you tried that on excalibur, you’re going to have a bad time
idk but can i borrow some endo
pretty much but what about the arcane tho?
Later when i get a blueprint for it
wdym blueprint?
primary arcane adapter?
Ye? Or they aint got blueprints?
Rank 0 careen is probably the GOAT of drop in melee arcanes for most players, yeah?
Cause ik warframe adapters do
you can get crafted direcly from tenshin
use steel essence to buy em
I think i dont have enough steel essence for it
just keep doing mission in SP normally, you be surprise how many you get end of the day
Especially if you havent gotten the planet completion +25 SE
Vro i thought they were like 100 essence each 
dont forget for secondary
I thought this was a shotgun
fair enough
anyway yeah trumna is more or less a hitscan lmg with exploding heat bullets
kills charge altfire which is a big nuke
Just gonna use Ninjase's build
Try it with zephyr
wich one better
Any good Dante builds I just got him and have been messing around herd he was a great frame to nuke and all around badass to play with ?
left
Idk much abt rivens but left seems more plausible (dont select it cause i said so, js my opinion)
ig cold isnt good for magistar
how do you build a hound to keep itself alive? mine keeps dying the moment it revives in SP.
(still formaing it, hence the empty slot)
Which one to pick? kinda tempted to go for viral one
Okay, yeah, really enjoying weapons platform Nyx. What are some fun weapons people run with her?
I'm running the Coda Torx right now with Burston Prime for killing single targets.
Actually I think I'll run furis on her for secondary the beam to pierce the heavens sounds fun
Twin Basolk to teleport around during assimilate with Rift Strike
Irradiate furis is fun
Otherwise I run angstrum incarnon for stacking mind control
I don't really care much for the mind control portion of her kit. Its good and strong and everything but I really enjoy her bolts and her 4 more so the furis feels like a good call. I'll check into an irradiate setup with it, thanks!
Man if Nyx's bolts were her helminth I'd run it on so many people
Mind control with assimilate is her best thing tho
Does anyone know if the the Swarm Kavats + the augment not replicating whilst subsumed on another warframe is a bug?
For 50m nuke
I don't disagree. I just uuuuuuh don't really use it.
I get why people like it but I am most enjoying her when I'm running and gunning and using her 4 to create space when I need to breathe. I don't generally like weapons platform frames but something about her bolts just scratches the right itch.
you have to subsume over non-s4 for it to work.
if it's over s4, which is inaros' normal kavat-making move slot, it messes with it
Is this decent and if so what would be a good price estimate be?
Yeah I subsumed a 2 not a 4, they are simply not replicating
The wiki says it’s a bug
Hopefully they fix it soon…
It started breaking once they made the kavats mission level
are you doing the weird volt summoner build that uses shocking speed to make the kavats respawn themselves?
They killed that build because of this same issue im having right now, but i was experimenting dessicate on Khora’s 2 and the kavats just didn’t replicate whatsoever
I think dessicate in general, the augment, might be broken on helminth
I’m not sure wether to swap something for firewalker here.. ignore how nothing is upgraded I’m mr7
finally Stat Stick Prime build is complete 
What mod should I remove to replace it with hata-satya
incarnon?
if yes replace aptitude
Point strike
ideally run critical delay instead of point strike, or galv scope
With Hata Satya it’s a pointless mod.
Okay
hata satya crit chance has to ramp, doing 10% damage for the start of every mag doesn't seem ideal, especially without crux
it's the same reason why you still run serration/aptitude on weapons with primary merciless
I just got primary crux
Like just now
r5?
Yes
25 plat well spent
250p
i can get 250 for that?
If u r patient enough. Otherwise 125p easily
you could probably get at least that much yeah
90 is good
there are two mods of the same stats with -zoom at 750
no neg drops it down a lot
but i can see someone paying upwards of 200p for a decent latron roll
long wait tho
hm ok
its worth like 150 at most
Let the man earn some moola
he can get a nice deluxe skin for that
Very snazzy
id jsut sell it for 90 if u have an offer
like it is simply a good roll, it's better malignant force with extra cc
ye its slotable
it is very easy to slot and will likely sell at some point
just no neg
Is it easy to find 125 plat+? Since ive only got 1 offer so far and its around 100
are you using trade chat?
im using warframe market
i have this latron riven 💀 💀
list it on warframe.market for like 200p, and wait a bit, maybe a week or two if you're patient
if you don't want to wait just list it for like 100-125p and it will sell fairly quickly
