Hello Everyone, Was thinking about one of my presets that I’d built because it works as an amplifier to a fun “instrument”: Harrow Prime armed with the Shedu. I really love the Shedu, if my pfp hadn’t made that obvious, and Harrow’s powers just make it all the better. Been a hot minute since I’ve used it but if memory serves it drops off at higher levels but that doesn’t matter too much, it makes me smile to use it.
Anyone else have pairings like this? Something fun that’s amped up quite nicely by the rest of the build. Doesn’t have to vaporize arbitrarily high level eximus, just has to be fun for whatever level range it works at.
Does this count? I’ve got a +multishot +fire rate -(100%)damage tetra riven I use with mirage to terrorize my friends while contributing nothing to the mission
Besides the obvious so called “weapon platforms” I think my fav specific combo is Trinity with a gas paris prime incarnon. Gas can’t do much against armour and Trinity has an armour strip on her link. The problem is the link strips only 3 enemy so regular aoe weapons (that can’t kill armoured enemies) are able to kill only 3 enemies per shot. Yet the gas clouds persist after the shot so you have that satisfying chain reaction of sorts.
Is that the best build I’ve ever played? Not really. Can I do half an hour sp survival using it? I sure can and it’s almost chill (except ridiculously short duration of Trinity’s abilities).
As to the weapon platforms - I quite like nourish wisp, can slap any decent weapon and it’ll become a lot better, roar hildryn is just absurd with full strip and double damage from roar.
I usually like to mod pistols with high base fire rate with even more fire rate. Arcane Pistoleer is kind of a requirement, and a Saryn focused around buffing weapons or Harrow with Lasting Covenant will generally go the furthest.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INJDeUrMQYMI’ve been having a lot of fun with Dual Toxocyst Incarnon on Zephyr specifically. Her augment Airburst Rounds provides base damage, so it frees up the gun Arcane slot away from Merciless/Dexterity/Deadhead. So in the Arcane slot I put Cascadia Overcharge for extra crit chance while Overshields are active. Her 3 generally protects the Overshields and guarantees she can maintain them. She also gets another crit chance boost from her passive whenever her feet aren’t on the ground, and being up in the air aim gliding above enemies gives easy access to headshots, plus the grouping from her 2 helps the Dual Toxo’s richochet. Just feels all round great, very fun to play
One very effective pairing I like to use is Zephyr with the Akarius. (I’d use the Epitaph instead if I had it)
Zephyr’s 2 clumps enemies together, which is ideal for AoE weapons, and then the Airburst Rounds augment grants tons of damage to your secondary weapon.
My favourite combo is the “Rolling Gunslinger” Mesa, taking the power of Mesa’s Waltz to it’s extreme. The required ingredients are 2 Parkour Velocity Archon Shards (or 1 Tauforged, which is what I prefer) and a mod you never see used, Amalgam Barrel Diffusion (put it on your secondary, not Regulators). With all things combined, Mesa turns from the turret frame she’s known for into one of the most mobile killing machine frames in the game, rivalling even Titania. Once you get used to how much forward momentum her roll gives, you can traverse all but the most maze-like tilesets without ever turning Peacemaker off, shooting everything that moves all the way to extraction.
