Tenora Build 2018 (Guide) - The Main Event (Warframe)

When it comes to machine gun style of weapons we do have a few options and the Tenora is at the top of the list. Alongside its mini-gun fire mode it also has a secondary that will charge ten bullets and release them after zero point eight seconds for a massive burst of damage. The charged shot also features higher critical chance and critical damage at the cost of status chance.

Hey guys, hello and welcome back. As always, my name is Leyzar and today we're gonna be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 10 Primary Weapon - Octavia's signature weapon - The Tenora.

I'm gonna be covering a cheap build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course we're also gonna have the classic endgame setup for a Riven. Though please keep in mind that my builds and guides usually follow a more "New Player Friendly" approach, so if you're a veteran of the game and already know most of the stuff then please bear with me. And with that out of the way, let's jump into the Tenora.

Let's begin by checking out how the weapon handles without any mods equipped. For that I'm simply gonna be taking a couple of free shots. You'll see (in the video) that the Tenora is a rifle which acts more like a mini-gun. At the start of firing you'll see that the accuracy is basically all over the place, but the more you fire, you will get additional fire rate and accuracy. After about 16 shots the Tenora  is a pinpoint weapon, and you are no longer spraying all over the place. You also have an Out-fire which kind of works like this: once pressed, it will charge up - you cannot hold the shot in - and it will release a pinpoint shot which has more Crit Chance, and more Crit Damage than the normal fire, and it also consumes 10 ammo. So with a full clip of 150 ... you basically got 15 shots for all fire, and that is pretty much it.

Let's jump into the stats to see precisely what we're dealing with. First of all, Mod Capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your Tenora only has 30 out of 30 then jump into actions and install an Orokin Catalyst. (Check the video below to find out how to obtain one). 

My Tenora has been format a total of 7 times, but this was done mainly for the purpose of testing,  and because I have a Riven, for the weapon builds I'm recommending you guys ... 4-5 forma should do it.

Accuracy is 12.5, but this accuracy, both on the Primary and Secondary Fire, is without the full spool up. Keep in mind that while the accuracy is 12.5, on the charge shot it doesn't really reflect the pinpoint accuracy of this weapon, so keep that one in mind.

Next, Critical Chance for the auto fire is 28% with a multiplier of 2.0, which is definitely decent. The critical chance is pretty good, and the multiplier is nice as well. Fire rate: 11.67. Just keep in mind that this refers at fool spool-up or magazine of 150, and reload of 2.5. Very little downtime for the Tenora, as long as you don't increase the fire rate too heavily, of course.

Conclusion:

Sometimes I find it hard to chose one weapon over another, simply because we have a lot of similar weapons in Warframe, but the Tenora is one weapon I'm happy I invested in, and I highly recommend it. You have two options when it comes to builds, you can either go for an elemental build that will focus around a targets vulnerabilities, or you can go for a slash build through Hunter Munitions. Objectively speaking the HM build is a bit stronger, but I prefer elemental builds in general. As always, the choice is yours.
