Well I just unlocked my Vauban, any tips on how to build him? I just kinda wanna sit back, have a beer or maybe a sandwich while my tesla and lesser frame friends do all the running and gunning. Was thinking energy siphon, flow, focus and constitution since I don't have continuity yet. Anything else I should be throwing in?

Streamline and Fleeting Expertise and Continuity.

Focus isn't strictly needed on Vauban since most of the utility of his abilities doesn't come from them doing damage (though it does increase the number of enemies that Bastille can affect). I'd consider replacing it with Streamline instead, and see if someone has a Continuity they'd be willing to give/trade to you. Stretch is also an option for increased Bastille radius and Tesla zap range.

How to build Vauban:

Energy Siphon
Fleeting expertise
Streamline
Continuity
Narrow minded
Constitution
Bastille
Vortex
Flow

That leaves space for 2 mods like redirection or sprint stuff.

Esprit helmet is nice but not totally necessary. (You'll be at 465 energy with it)

Since you're locking down every mob ever, taking damage shouldn't be an issue at all. I can solo defenses and survivals for goddamn ever.

I've forma'd my Vauban 4 times so the levels of my mods are higher, but these mods are what you want.

I know Tesla and Bounce are fun, but they're both ultimately useless.

You want your Bastille small and long-lasting. If two Bastille touch they count as one, which is bad since Bastille only affects 12 guys. So you want to be able to have separate Bastille up.

Your bread and butter will be vortex. You will cast millions of vortices because they are super cheap. Also, it's not affected by range mods, so it works nicely with Narrow Minded.

Vauban is the best frame ever.

You don't need Narrow Minded and Stretch then.

Get some tank.

Mine has--

Energy Siphon, Blind Rage, Focus, Streamline, Fleeting Expertise, Vigor, Redirection, Flow, Shock, Overload, and Speed. (I switch out Fleeting Expertise for Shield every now and then.)

I have more reactors than frames now. Time to buy some slots I guess.

I wonder if they are intentionally increasing the supply of reactors/catalysts because the focus items are going to become the new rare bottleneck item?

We used to have all that in the last dojo, before we rebuilt it. It's useless stuff that serves only to get people lost. Better to have a small and utilitarian base, nobody is going there for sightseeing - and if they are, it's not more than once.

For damage mods just use the same as any rifle (Serration/Split Chamber + Elementals). +Reload speed decreases the time it takes to nock an arrow while +Fire Rate reduces charge time. Crit mods are pretty good for the Paris as well.

Thunderbolt is cool for infested missions but isn't really mandatory, so don't sweat it if you can't get one.

Also, try to resist the temptation of charging every single arrow you shoot (I know I couldn't at first, that damage...) if you want to kill things fast, sometimes an uncharged headshot will do the trick in 1/3 of the time. Also keep in mind that enemies that you kill and ragdoll with a fatal arrow will damage any enemies in the corpse's path.

Also, Vauban's Bastille rewards area knowledge like a motherfucker. Once you get the hang of spotting the bottlenecks, you can shut down an entire mob of enemies with just one Bastille because the ones suspended in midair will physically block the ones behind.

This is the first time I've heard this, are you sure this is correct? A quick search lead me to an Italian? wiki page but that was several updates behind (around Update10) and nothing on the standard wiki suggests anything like that?

I usually throw down 2 Bastille when on ODD on later waves to catch the mass of Infested and I'm pretty sure the total number of caught is correct for the multiple Bastille, even when directly on top of each other.

From my experience with Saryn(which is roughly half my total gametime so far, so I guess 7-8 hours?), she lives and dies around her ult, which is a fantastic AoE nuke. Her shed skin ability is alright at best it can save you if you are about to die but that is about it's only use, and her other two abilities are just about useless.

She is fairly tough(as in, healthwise) and forgiving and she was recommended to me from a friend as good starting frame to help learn the game with the combination of tankiness and her ult literally dissolving anything around you if you get into trouble, and after putting some time in I have to say I agree.

Her Spores are trash. Her Molt is questionably useful. Her +Toxic on melee is garbage. (Partially on account of melee in general being bad right now. We'll see if this changes in the new melee system.) Her ult is fantastic.

The problem really is, she's just kind of a one-button warframe. But if you build around her ult, her one button is pretty darn good.

It just sucks on most robotics.
