#Mara's Solo CPF/CSV "Krait" Build - 24 Jan 2025 Update
brisk birch
One more step on the road to my goal of the Magless build, this is the first formalization of what I'm calling the "Krait" build archetype. In the tradition of the Dragon/Drake naming scheme, the Krait is the apex predator of STO. The core of the Krait is the Uncon/Vovin machine, unleashing enormous damage boosts, hellacious direct damage, and tremendous haste. Supplemental components include Complex Plasma Fires, the Prototype Hexa Cannons, and Type-7 Shuttles

What’s the HY3 there for, and why is it ranked higher than APB?
brisk birch
Honestly an artefact of reconstructing things over and over lol
apb should be a higher rank
it's just there as a proc
Cultural and Innervated
I was experimenting with an off meta variant during the loadout troubles

Thought that’s what was going on
Would you say dropping the Disco 2pc is possible without the Jugg console?
brisk birch
I did it before then
but I'm riding fire
I know the people above me on the ladder are more comfortable

Is the first Eng console Supercharged SIF Conduits from the Vaad Jugg?
brisk birch
yes

Thanks, I am going to try switching my decs up a little when I get a tad more comfy with solo
brisk birch
ftr jugg stacks 5-6 times, 5s duration, refreshes stacks
or rather, what I think might be happening is that you can get 5 overlapping stacks going
and you need a sustain of 1 hit per second
not sure
but you can get that if you're running in threat
nope, refresh

This is really great stuff, seeing how far things can go. If you were given license to make the perfect ship for it, what would it be? Is it the mirror engle?
brisk birch
not quite
it's almost there
I'd have to sit down and really work on it but ideally i'd want it temp full spec and ltcdr intel
that would be my ideal
(ignore the insignias)

Basically Atlantis with hangar bay
brisk birch
effectively

Mara I am helping a fleet mate build his Atlantis up to somewhat something in the same vein. Why do you have high yield on this build?
brisk birch
Cultural Conquest/Comp proc
opaque rover
Oh okay I have that. I always get confused with how that thing works. I dont think he has it.
Yeah it works pretty well thus far. I can get an extra Uncon proc and upgrade t to OSS 2. Think I need to?
brisk birch
I'd have to see the build
opaque rover
I'll make a separate build post
brisk birch
this is how I'd personally atlantis
opaque rover
Hah that's what I did
brisk birch
you could swap jam for tractor and tractor for hy or ts for a conquest/comp proc
which I might also do

Thank y'all for the help

😆 I love how the mags are disappearing. I've got everything except the credence console, but that should be happening soonish. You've really shaken up my understanding of high-end builds. I've been re-jiggering all my builds using what the Krait has taught me. I'm even using some of the build logic with my EPG builds.
Did you put on the Breen Shield Tunneling trait? If so, what did it replace?

She's gonna be out for a few days but if I had to guess it'd be superior cannon training.
opaque rover
Cannon training is also the thing I swap out for new stuff
mellow hinge
She's gonna be out for a few days but if I had to guess it'd be superior cannon ...
Makes sense

What's the high yield III for
cinder sphinx
Probably for cultural but might be in error as I'd have Beta II there and the TS or HY on II
brisk birch
Yeah that was a holdover from an experiment I forgot to change back, I think I noted it right below

Neuro, I don’t remember if you’re console, but if you are, magless build isn’t feasible as of right now for Xbox or PS4/5 at the performance we can achieve

Yup, PC here. I'm aware of the limitations console controls place on the players. I imagine using the SFTF the way it's being used on PC isn't feasible.
