Now that I finally have Octavia, what are good builds for her while I drive everyone insane with the default song? What does she need besides duration?
after duration its mainly up to you. some people like big range and a little strength, some people like big strength and little to no range. just make sure your duration is good and its hard to go wrong.
i made my song have a note on every beat and set it to silent for easy buffing.

anyone have a good hildryn build? i feel like i need to have like 3 shield mods and adaptation in there and there isnt room for anything else.

Are there any lower level weapons that are worth keeping/potato-ing? I'm just crafting/leveling everything I get a blueprint and have the mats for and didn't know if I should hang onto any of them.

Wukong



I took inspiration from some build somewhere online that I forget. Generally I just type [WARFRAME NAME] + [BUILD] and select whichever one is most recent, than see what they are building and what I can/cannot improve. Not to mention that I'm endo starved (lol) so there's a few mods that aren't as good as they could be, or the odd time I'm simply missing it/them outright.

The idea with Wukong, from the video I watched and just playing him, is that you want to maximize his ability to Defy death. He gains invincibility for X seconds, base on your Ability Duration stat. Ability Efficiency [and Duration according to the wiki] dictates how easy it is to cast and maintain Defy.



With some different mods I could get about ~11-12 seconds of invincibility time, which is more than enough to find a spot to hide and reset your Defy.

Why? Because after a certain number of deaths, you'll just implode and must revive, there's no being saved by allies.




So the basic plan of action is as follows:

1. Cast Defy
2. Attack anything you want
3. When your shields run out, Hunter Adrenaline generates Energy whenever you take damage, ensuring you have some to maintain Defy.
4. If you die, you are immediately reset to an HP and gain invincibility for X seconds. [The HP gained after death is reduced for each "Tier" death you take]


According to the Wiki it is as follows

quote:

Upon losing all of his health, Wukong is healed up to 45% / 50% / 65% / 75% of his maximum health and gains invulnerability for 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 seconds. As a consequence, Wukong loses 50% / 40% / 30% / 25% of his current energy.

The amount of health restored diminishes with each subsequent death while Defy is active. As an example, if Wukong has his health reduced to zero a total of three times while Defy is active, a rank-3 Defy will restore 0.75^1 = 75%, 0.75^2 = 56.25%, and 0.75^3 = 42.188% of his maximum health for each respective death.

Upon reaching the 19th iteration, Wukong's health would be reduced to 0.75^19 = 0.423%, instead of which he will die regardless of the energy left, disregarding mods like Quick Thinking, due to his health being rounded to 0%.




Pair it with a not-yet-maxxed melee weapon of your choice that you build for crit chance/damage + Blood Rush + Gladiator Set and you can spin-to-win with your coolest red numbers.

Honestly, even just an improvement to his 4 would be good enough. Maybe work Defy to not be a diminishing returns type deal. Oh, and like... give him more armor/hp as base stats.

Wukong has a long stick that scales in length for reasons I don't remember though, doesn't he. Can he do anything with that? I thought that was one of his standout gimmicks.

Yeah his 1 has a basic (I think) 10m range and should knock everything over and the length can't be changed.

At 200% strength it does... 1.5k damage. His 4 is slightly over a quarter of that (IE: Crap, afaik)

This is a 2 forma build (1 if you swap Cunning Drift for Aviator). Note that Fleeting Expertise and Streamline are maxed out to compensate for the low duration. Duration only really affects the range of Shield Pillage, but the low duration means it will refill your shields instantly. Keep Haven on at all times, it makes your team mates more durable and clears out trash mobs so you can focus on more important things. I recommend using the Secura Penta as the Sequence Syndicate Proc will restore shields. If you activate Aegis Storm while the Penta is equipped and DO NOT activate your Balefire then the Sequence proc will stay active, refilling your shields periodically. This is nice for defensive mission types since you can hover afk over the objective and CC and melt everything in line of sight.

The alternate build for Hildryn is to jam her full of shield recharge mods and fit a decaying key so that your shields will recharge to full before her 3 seconds of invisibility wears off, making you effectively immortal but unable to use any or her powers except Shield Pillage. Basically a better Wukong.

He used to have a really busted synergy with a thrown glaive I think it was. Throw the glaive, use 1 on it, it explodes for hundreds of thousands of damage on everyone. Of course it got nerfed.

Is there a trick to getting Ivara's sleep to work on conservation animals? I hit them with it, and then have to mag dump the tranq rifle on things before they cap. Equinox just straight knocks things out for easy capture, but can only seem to get good captures, never perfects.

Use your 2 to steer the sleep arrow into hitting them directly, then use it again to steer your dart into hitting them in the face or equivalent (or body, not sure if that matters). Perfect captures go!

Bonus is on pobbers, where a single direct hit with the Ivara Sleep Arrow = 3 perfect caps.

ive never had something not able to be captured after 1 sleep arrow. you have to hit directly with it to get perfect captures though. use 2 and guide it right into their cute faces.

DE nerfed the poo poo out of Equinox and Ivara making GBS threads on conservation. At this point its easier to just use the tranq gun and make peace with never getting a perfect bolarola capture ever again.

Bolarolas just need to wait 20-30 secs for their little animation, that's it? Like they're not optimal for tag count (pobbers) or max standing (phero'd kubro incarnadines) but even if you just have loki and a modicum of patience they're pretty trivial to perfect with a single dart.
