Scourge Build 2018 (Guide) - The Reach of Harrow (Warframe)

We don't have a lot of Speargun weapons and they don't seem to be very popular but the Scourge impressed so much I'll make it my "daily driver". At a first glance the weapon doesn't seem impressive as it has an abysmal critical chance and a somewhat strange secondary fire, but after fully understanding how the energy projectiles function we can start taking advantage of them. Because the weapon has very low crit chance we don't have a lot of build diversity and the only real option is to play heavily into status and armor strip.

Hello and welcome back, as always, my name is Leyzar and today we will be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 6 Primary Weapon - The Scourge. As per usual, we're gonna be covering a cheap build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course, we also have the classic Endgame set up with a Riven. 

When talking about the Scourge's Build, as per the usual, we will be starting by checking how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and a short analysis of the stats. Mod capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your Scourge only has 30 out of 30,  then jump into actions and install an Orokin Catalyst. My weapon has been format a total of 4 times, but this was done for the purpose of testing. For the weapon builds I'm recommending you guys ... 2 forma should do it.

After testing it becomes obvious that the best solution is to go for a full corrosive build and treat the weapon as a armor removal tool. It does the job very well and can fully remove the armor from an enemy in a couple of shots. The trick is how not to lose the elemental bonus by fully removing armor and as always to add elemental mods according to circumstances.

As a conclusion I honestly didn't believe I would like such a weapon, but starting today it becomes my main and I can't offer a more solid recommendation then that.

Stradavar Build 2018 (Guide) - Slashing in Style (Warframe Gameplay)

It may be hard to chose a single assault rifle from all the available options in the game. Most of them do the same thing, some better then others, but few have the style of the Stradavar.
The weapon features a high critical chance and good critical multi on both fire mods, the edge going to the alternative fire thou it comes at the cost of fire rate and increased recoil. In general I used the weapon in both mods but I tend to gravitate more towards primary fire as it's a lot easier to use efficiently.

Hello and welcome back, as always, my name is Leyzar and today we will be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 8 Primary Weapon - The Stradavar. As per usual, we're gonna be covering a cheap build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course, we also have the classic Endgame set up with a Riven. 

When talking about the Stradavar's Build, as per the usual, we will be starting by checking how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and a short analysis of the stats. Mod capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your Stradavar only has 30 out of 30,  then jump into actions and install an Orokin Catalyst. My weapon has been format a total of 5 times but this was done for the purpose of testing. By default the Stradavar comes with two "V" symbols, which is a huge advantage. You're not gonna have to sink more than two forma into this one.

Stradavar Build 2018 (Guide) - Slashing in Style (Warframe Gameplay)

Conclusion:

The Stradavar can be build both for elemental procs (such as corrosive) and slashes through the use of hunter munitions and some increased critical chance / critical damage through the Argon Scope / Bladed rounds combo. The only build that did not yield best result was going through the weapons innate slash value to get dots on the target.

Long story short the Stradavar is a potent assault rifle, with a bit of added flair. It's more then worth the build considering the good riven disposition of four out of five and the overall good test results.

Warframe (Guide) - What is Punch Through and How it Works (Mechanics Explained & Tested)

Hey guys, hello and welcome back, as always my name is Leyzar and today we're going to be discussing Punch Through: What it is, what it does, how it functions and how it should function.
As of today Punch Through does not function as it should, and this demonstration should clarify any questions you might have regarding the mechanic.

Warframe (Guide) - What is Punch Through and How it Works (Mechanics Explained & Tested)

Punch Through is a mechanic that allows weapons to shoot through objects, cover and even enemies. Punch Through is typically bestowed through Mods, though certain weapons have innate Punch Through values.

A basic, unranked Punch Through mod gives a value of at least 0.1 meters of Punch Through, which is sufficient to bypass a Shield Lancer's riot shield. Thus, a skilled marksman would be able to estimate the location of enemies' weak spots while they're in cover and land a shot or two without waiting for the enemy to peek out of cover. Greater values can potentially allow the penetration of many enemies at once, and can be an effective damage multiplier when utilized against swarms of enemies.

Nukor Build 2018 (Guide) - The Microwave Gun (Warframe)

Sometimes I wonder what is the point behind Mastery Rank. Is it to lock more powerful content and offer it as a form of progression ? If that is the case, then the Nukor breaks that rule like a champion. I never expected to see a weapon this powerful at such a low MR but then again it does follow the trend of beam weapons being exceptionally strong (currently).

Hello and welcome back, as always, my name is Leyzar and today we will be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 4 Secondary  Weapon - The Nukor . As per usual, we're gonna be covering a cheap build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course, we also have the classic Endgame set up with a Riven.... actually we have 2 Rivens this time

Let's begin by checking out how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and for that I'm gonna need a couple of guinea pigs. First things first, the Nukor is a Beam Weapon and it has 25 meters worth of range. Now, the beam kind of looks like a sonic boom of sorts, the Wiki describes this one as being a Microwave Gun. Once again, 25 meters worth of range, and being a Beam Weapon, that means that you do not get 100% of its damage as soon as you pull the trigger, you get 20%, which quickly ramps up to 100 % over the course of 0.6 seconds. After firing stops, it will remain at 100 % for 0.8 seconds, after which it will decay back to the original 20% over the course of two seconds, so keep that one in mind. 

Now, we have a very special effect on the Nukor,  you will see that this guy has a swollen head. That is once again the effect of the Nukor. The target will be taking double damage from the Nukor and 50% additional damage from all other sources, so that's pretty good. Also, you're gonna notice that only one body part is swollen ... however the entire thing takes extra damage slowly if you're aiming for head, and just the head gets all big and all whatnot that doesn't mean you're not gonna get the bonus damage if you shoot them well somewhere else, and that's pretty much it.

Nukor Build 2018 (Guide) - The Microwave Gun (Warframe Gameplay)

End note: 

I began my review very skeptical of this weapon but the more I used it the more I realized it's epic potential. The highest critical multiplier in the game at MR 4 ? It's clear to me that Warframe wants us to break it, to have fun and search for all sorts of ideas that will keep us entertained.Getting back to the Nukor, it posses very potent synergies with any additive after critical chance increase. Buffs such as Harrow's forth ability or Kavat buff and Arcane Avenger. Play with all of these and the weapon goes full blown monster but it's not without its limitations. Poor ammo efficiency and a rather peculiar beam that impedes vision being the main drawbacks.The Nukor is a fantastic weapon regardless of MR. Sure, there are better secondary weapons in the game but the Nukor can stand with the best of them given the appropriate circumstances. Highly Recommend.

Dera Vandal Build 2018 (Guide) - The Corpus Workhorse

It's no secret that I'm a fan of futuristic weapons... Basically anything that has laser beams or photon rockets peaks my interest, so I decided (despite popular opinion) to give the Dera Vandal a try.
What I found was an average run of the mill assault rifle, with a high status chance of thirty percent, but that's about it. Not to say that the weapon can't pack a punch. When build correctly the weapon has a strong kick, and can strip the armor off the strongest of enemies in just a couple of seconds. What it lacks in critical chance it more then makes-up for in usability, as the weapon has almost no recoil at all, and also sports a riven disposition of four out of five.

Hello and welcome back, as always, my name is Leyzar and today we will be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 7 Primary Weapon - The Dera Vandal . As per usual, we're gonna be covering a cheap build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course, we also have the classic Endgame set up with a Riven. 

When talking about the Dera Vandal's Build, as per the usual, we will be starting by checking how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and a short analysis of the stats. Mod capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your Dera Vandal only has 30 out of 30,  then jump into actions and install an Orokin Catalyst. My weapon has been format a total of 5 times. That is because the Dera Vandal does not come with any polarity, so you will have to forma 5 times for the weapon build i am gonna be recommending you.

Accuracy is 100. As you saw there, the weapon is pretty accurate, however, if I am going to put on  Heavy Caliber ... check out the accuracy value... honestly I can't even explain it. It's a mystery to me. It goes down to 7.2 and you saw how the weapon handled before (video). Well I'll check it out after doing this .... it's an absolute bloody mess, for that reason I am forced not to recommend Heavy Caliber on this weapon, and to be honest, this mod would have been a godsend for it. In any case, let us continue: Critical Chance is 8%, abysmal. The multiplier is nice at 2.0 X but there's not really much we can get out of it considering the low base Crit Chance. However, keep in mind that effects such as Arcane Avenger additive after Crit Chance effects will be extremely good on the Dera Vandal.

Fire Rate 11.25 for a magazine of 60, and a reload of 1.8 - little to no downtime when it comes to the Dera Vandal, and of course you can further augment this with Carrier together with Ammo Case. Riven Dispozition 4 out of 5, which means that the Dera Series is not exactly popular, they're seen more kind of like "Baby Weapons", however, you will see that the weapon can pack one serious punch.

Dera Vandal Build 2018 (Guide) - The Corpus Workhorse (Warframe Gameplay)

Conclusion:Overall The Dera Vandal is a good assault rifle capable of fully removing an enemies armor but lacks base critical chance which sets it a bit back. Good, not great.

Arca Scisco Build 2018 (Guide) - The Tactical Pocket Monster

I always complained that there aren't enough spacey futurist weapons for me to have fun with, but the Arca Scisco fits that description perfectly. Not only that but the weapon is insanely strong and the "Target Analysis" gimmick buff actually holds some substance and its quite usable.
There is a sea of secondary weapons in Warframe but the Arca Scisco is one of my favorites. As far as a build is concerned, you can go for the classic elemental approach, and I'd encourage you to try using the ninety mods over the sixty-sixty mods, but you can also go for a slash build through the use of Main, so you can get your slash value over the puncture value.

Hello and welcome back, as always, my name is Leyzar and today we will be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 10 Secondary Weapon - The Arca Scisco. As per usual, we're gonna be covering a cheap build, something affordable that anybody can build, but of course, we also have the classic Endgame set up with a Riven. 

When talking about the Arca Scisco's Build, as per the usual, we will be starting by checking how the weapon handles without any mods equipped, and a short analysis of the stats. Mod capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your Arca Scisco only has 30 out of 30,  then jump into actions and install an Orokin Catalyst. My weapon has been format a total of 5 times, but this was done for the purpose of testing. For the weapon builds I'm recommending you guys ... 3 forma will do it. That is because the Arca Scisco by default comes with two "V" symbols, or Madurai symbols, so it's not a forma heavy weapon.

First we talk about an elemental build. Let's start slapping on some mods, starting with the mandatory mod, and Hornet Strike is 100% mandatory - 220 % extra damage. Next we're going to go into Multi Shot:  Barrel Diffusion, as well as Lethal Torrent -  now with these two slapped on we're gonna get 180 % Multi Shot. Keep in mind that Multi Shot will count towards your target analysis buff, meaning, if you hit the target with two beams, which will look like a single beam, you will be getting two stacks of target analysis with a single shot, so basically with 180% Multi Shot you have an 80% chance per shot at a third strike on the target. That will mean three stacks at once.
