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.

Please check the link below to watch the entire Tenora Build / Guide video (elemental build, slash build, riven setup and other useful info)



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.

Knell Build 2018 (Guide) - From Zero to Hero (Warframe)


Just by looking at the stats of the Knell you don't see much of anything. The true power of this weapon lies in its special buff that can stack-up three times and transforms the weapon into an absolute power-house. While the build is rather basic, the weapon does require a lot of the player, and consistent head-shots will be necessary to get the most of the Knell.
As soon as the three stacks are up, the weapon goes Godlike and I would recommend you try some fire-rate and pepper your targets in order to make it easier to get constant buff refreshes.


Hey guys, hello and welcome back! As always, my name is Leyzar and today we're gonna be diving deeper into this Mastery Ranked 10 secondary weapon - The Knell.

I'm gonna be covering a cheap build, something affordable that anybody can get into, but of course we also have the classic "Endgame" setup with  a Riven. That being said, though please keep in mind that my builds and guides usually follow a more new player friendly approach, simply because I want anybody watching this to understand how the weapon functions and how it should be built, so, if you're a veteran of the game and already know most of the stuff, then please bear with me.

Now, with that out of the way, let's jump into the Knell. As per the usual, we begin by checking how the weapon handles without any mods equipped and for that I'm gonna need a couple of targets. You will see that the Knell only has one shot in a clip, and it also kind of has like a sniper-esque scope, even though you don't have a controllable zoom. Now, normally again, one shot in a clip then you have to reload and the total ammo of the Knell is only ten or twelve, so that seems very little, but upon head-shot you will be receiving a buff called Death Knell, you'll also see that the graphics on the scope will change. When you get at least one stack of this buff, you will receive unlimited ammo and no reload. That's all, so basically you can keep on firing forever and ever, as long as you refresh the buff. The buff called Death Knell can stack up a total of three times, each time you'll be getting 20% status chance and 0.5 crit multiplier, that is critical damage. That being said please keep in mind that this benefit is an additive after bonus, and I'll explain more on that a bit later, but for now let's jump in the stats to see precisely what we're dealing with.





First let's remove all the buffs from Harrow, just to make sure we're not cheating with any buffs.

Mod capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your Knell only has 30 out of 30, then jump into actions and
install an Orokin Catalyst (check the build video to find out how to do it)

My weapon has been format a total of seven times, but this was done for the purpose of testing. For the weapon builds I'm recommending you guys ... for - five forma should do it.
It is a Forma Heavy Weapon, because the Knell by default doesn't come with any polarity at all. Accuracy is 42 - now this is absolutely Godlike for a pistol. Keep in mind that the fable, the Lex Prime has only 16, this is sniper level of accuracy - absolutely phenomenal - so it will reward those high skill players that can actually land head-shots.

Critical chance is 20% and Crit Multi is 1.5. Now I would call this one decent towards weak, but keep in mind that Death Knell buff you will be getting on head-shots. It will give you 0.5 Crit Multiplier per stack, and you can stack it up a total of 3 times. Each stack will last for two seconds, so for example if you stack it up all the way to 3 stacks, you're gonna be getting a Crit multiplier of 3.0, two stacks 2.5, one stack 2.0, this is an additive After Bonus, so keep that one in mind

Braton Prime Build 2018 (Guide) - Old Faithful (Warframe Gameplay)

There are many Assaults Rifles in Warframe, some more popular then others.

The Braton Prime is among the "old timers" and many players simply glance over it and chuck-it up as MR fodder. That would be a mistake, The Braton Prime may not be the best weapon in the game but it's certainly not weak. 


Hey guys, hello and welcome back. As always, my name is Leyzar and today we're gonna be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank eight Primary Weapon - The Braton Prime. I'm gonna be covering a cheap build, something affordable that anybody can get into, but of course we also have the "Endgame setup" with a Riven.

Please keep in mind that my builds and guides usually follow a more "New player friendly" approach, simply because there's a lot of info here and I want anybody watching to understand how the weapon functions and how it should be built, so if you're a veteran of the game and already know most of this stuff, then please bear with me. And with that out of the way let's jump into the Braton Prime.




Let's begin by checking out hot weapon handles without any mods equipped, and for that I'm simply gonna be taking a couple of free shots, as you can see (in the video) The Braton is an automatic rifle, or Sub-machine gun, or whatever ... it doesn't really matter. The accuracy isn't really all that hot, but it's not bad either. This is roughly 30 meters away from the target and I'm gonna unload 75 bullets - that's a full clip for the Braton - so you can see the spread. I think that should do it ... 60 bullets is
enough, so as you can see, the accuracy isn't outstanding but it's not terrible either, especially since you can fire a little bit ... wait for the weapon to kind of calm down ... The recoil itself is not really all that bad. From my point of view, is totally manageable and I love how the weapon sounds. 

Let's jump into stats to see precisely what we're dealing with: First of all we're gonna talk about Mod  capacity - 60 out of 60 - now if your Braton only has 30 out of 30, then jump into actions and plug in an Orokin Catalyst.

Please check the link below to learn how to obtain an Orokin Catalyst, and watch the entire Build / guide for Braton Prime

Braton Prime Build 2018 (Guide) - Old Faithful (Warframe Gameplay)


Conclusion:
With the correct build the weapon can make quick work of even high level enemies. While there is some build diversity to the Braton, the build that shined the most was a viral / Hunter Munitions setup. Using this approach the weapon ca have two sources of applying slash status effects to targets.The Critical Chance on the weapon is fairly low so in order to get some value out of Hunter Munitions we need to use Arcane Avenger, which is a bit expensive but more then worth the investment. Overall I would call The Braton Prime a solid and reliable weapon and recommend it to newer players as it feels very "classic" and it's no slouch in damage either.

Warframe (Gameplay) - John Prodman Run with Mesa (One Hour in High Index)

Following a viewer's suggestion we decided to go for a Prodman Run

In order to get his poster / autograph one must stay one hour in Index (any difficulty), so he spawns and you take the poster after you defeat him. Our setup was simple, Mesa, Rhino, Trinity and Nova. 

Using a balance selection of Warframes we had all our basis covered and the run itself was not difficult. I played Mesa so this gives me the opportunity to give you a brief overview of the build I use for her as she is very efficient in Index.


This was a lot of fun to do and I'd recommend you give it a try. It may sound a bit intimidating but it's really not that difficult.

Check the link below to watch the entire video, including build explanations for Mesa.

Synapse Build 2018 (Guide) - The Potential Of A Monster


Many players have told me that the Synapse is a monster so I decided to give it a try and I'm very glad I did. This weapon is an absolute power-house which is not surprising considering the state of beam weapons currently in Warframe. The build is pretty straight forward with a couple of options such as Shred for punch through and fire rate or Hammer Shot / Vigilante Armaments.


Hey guys, hello and welcome back, as always, my name is Leyzar and today  we're gonna be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 11 Primary Weapon - The Synapse. I'm gonna be covering a cheap build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course we also have the classic Endgame
setup with  a Riven - if you can find any, that is.


That being said, though please keep in mind that my builds / guides usually follow a more "New Player Friendly" approach, simply because there's a lot of info here and I want anybody watching this to understand how the Weapon functions, and how it should be built, so if you're a veteran of the game and already now this stuff then please, bear with me.

With that out of the way, let's jump into The Synapse Build. First of all let's check out how the Weapon handles without any mods equipped, and for that I'm just gonna be taking a couple of free shots: you'll notice (in the video) that the Synapse channel is a frontal beam, and although the animation of the beam might suggest that it's all over the place in a bit wobbly, in fact the Synapse is a pinpoint-accurate Weapon. Per damage tick it only consumes half of ammo, so 1 ammo will mean two damage ticks, and that's pretty much all there is to it.





Let's jump into stats to see precisely what we're dealing with: First of all mod capacity is sixty out of 60, and if your Synapse only has 30 out of 30, then jump into actions and plug in an Orokin Catalyst. (find out how to get it by watching the Synapse Build Video)

For the Weapon Builds I'm recommending you guys,  3-4 Forma should do it -  My weapon has been formatted five times, because I have a Riven, and we'll check that one out a bit later.

Accuracy is 100 because this is a Beam Weapon - accuracy effects such as Heavy Caliber don't really have a real impact on the Synapse. You can see the beam right at the end having a little bit more jitters, but in all honesty it doesn't really matter, and i 100% recommend Heavy Caliber, hell I'll even
call it Mandatory.

Please check the link below to watch the entire Synapse Build 2018 Video.

Conclusion:Overall the Synapse is a fantastic rifle which falls in-line nicely with the current state of beam weapons in Warframe. The only downside that I see is the funky look and no skins but that is subjective. I highly recommend this weapon to just about anyone.

Hystrix Build 2018 (Guide) - The Quill Shooter (Warframe Gameplay)

With the addition of Khora we got a new secondary weapon in the form of the Hystrix. A very interesting automatic pistol that shoots quills and swappable elemental damage with a guaranteed status proc on top.


Hello guys, my name is Leyzar, and today we're gonna be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 7 Secondary Weapon - The Hystrix. I'm gonna be covering something cheap and affordable, something anybody can build, but of course we also have the classic endgame set up for a Riven. 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 this stuff, then please bear with me.

With that out of the way, let's jump into the Hystrix Build. We will begin, as  per the usual, by checking out how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and for that I'm just gonna take a couple of free shots - a full spray of 16 bullets in the wall, or better said, quills - and you will see that the accuracy isn't really there ... I mean it's not terrible, and the recoil is definitely manageable, but the weapon unfortunately has a rather mediocre accuracy. Now, you're not firing bullets, you are firing these little quills, which have projectile travel time, so you will have to leave your targets just a little bit, but no fall-off at all, so you won't need to aim above them, just leave a little bit.



Now, in order to change your fire mode you will click alternative fire, and you can cycle through Fire
quill, Electric quill, Ice quill and of course, Poison quill, depending on your own circumstances.
We will be checking the stats, to see exactly what we are dealing with (Video)

Mod Capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your Hystrix only has 30 out of 30, then jump into actions and plug in a Orokin Catalyst.

Please check the link below to watch the Histryx Build / Guide video (How to get an Orokin Catalyst, what Mods to use & the builds i recommend, and other useful info)
Hystrix Build 2018 (Guide) - The Quill Shooter (Warframe Gameplay)

Conclusion:
Overall a solid and versatile secondary weapon with a lot more punch than its low mastery rank requirement would suggest.
