  • I feel like it’s not quite 50/50, more like 90/10 instead.

    90% of the people didn’t care or look close enough. The Captcha algorithm picked that up. The remaining 10% of people who actually use their brain have to either gamble on that 10% chance, or succumb to the hive mind to save that 3 seconds of their lives.

    Larkspur (Prime) ftw, basically Kuva Nukor in space. While your average public squads are shooting at the enemies one by one, I’m MOPPING the entire map off the universe.

    Honourable mentions:

    • Corvas Prime for PT, but I know some would prefer Mausolon or Imperator Vandal for the phase skip.
    • Fluctus for Orphix, not that anyone plays that mission.
    • Cortege, your beloved Ignis Wraith in space with the special Space Dad treatment.
    • Morgha, your Trumna in space.
    • The 2 kuva heavy weapons are alright as well, you can try them in the Kahl missions, so you can easily decide if you like them.

    I still haven’t built any heavy weapons that require parts from the New Loka and the Perrin Sequence, so no comments on them yet.

    Ember is actually much better than people give her credit for atm, obviously a lot of players are still in the reminiscence of the old World on Fire, but we now have Gyre for that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Her 1 is the subsume slot, use whatever you like. I use Condemn for shieldgate, but every other meta abilities work as well, choose your poison.

    Her 2 costs 0 zero energy to cast and maintain when it’s between 50% and 89%. The percentage rise steadily, or rapidly after you cast her 4. You can drop the percentage by 20 and slow it back down by casting her 3.

    Her 3 armor strips enemies and can be casted in rapid succession to quickly full strip enemies, lower the percentage on the 2, or crowd control.

    Her 4 would be your main source of damage after armor stripping the entire map. The augment provides a healthy energy regen.

    Essentially what you’ll do is cast 2, then cast 3 or 4 depending on the percentage or the amount of armor remaining on the enemies. Cast 1 whenever appropriate according to your personal preference of subsumed abilities.

    The only issue I’ve encountered is that her armor strip doesn’t work on acolytes and bosses, other than that, I think she’s sitting at a very nice place in the current meta.

    Edit: added my current build, swap out Power Drift for PSF if you prefer that. The arcanes are Energize and Molt Augmented.



  • Here’s my 0 forma build, it will likely stay that way for a couple of years as I don’t like putting formas into non prime frames.

    Her survivability depends on shieldgating and her 3, Arcane Blessing and Equilibrium help a bit too, I tried Arcane Guardian as well but 666 hp is not quite enough in higher level missions.

    The playstyle is mostly cast 2 then spam 1 to spread, cast 4 if large groups or if you need armor strip, cast 3 and have it running whenever you have enough energy.

    Is there any way to get Archon Flow work for him in high level play? I tried with Ice Wave and currently Thermal Sunder (heat then cold to try to kill with both blast and cold dmg at the same time), both of the abilities didn’t seem to be damaging enough to kill, even after Icy Avalanche. My build is currently sitting at 243% strength. Any thoughts?


    1. Hata-Satya

    Hata-Satya is not very useful here imo, it is most useful when you don’t have enough critical chance.

    1. Gyre subsume

    I personally subsumed Pillage for my Gyre to give her a bit more survivability. If it’s not your concern, then Roar can’t go wrong. The deciding factor of Nourish for me is whether the frame would run into energy problem, and my playstyle of Gyre won’t so it’s up to you. I would only consider the viral aspect if I find the need for a specific sentinel/pet. Vigilante set also seemed a bit exuberant to me, but more damage is more damage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    1. Alternative frames

    Right off the back of my head, Mirage seems to be the next best candidate for “AOE” Soma, then Saryn or Grendel since they spread viral on their own. I personally like gunplay with Chroma and Wisp, since both buff guns to stupid levels and allow you to ignore everything else to focus on gunplay.

    1. Critical Delay

    I’d say It mostly depend on whether you would use the incarnon mode. I quite like it so I have both Critical Delay and critical chance on my riven.

    1. Riven

    I personally don’t like the -dmg to Corpus, but other than that, it seems pretty good.

    1. Cold procs

    The recent cold status tweak is still to young for people to discover it’s potential. If we want to utilize that, we would be building around Frostbite, I recommend this video from Gamble if you want to dig deeper into it.
