When it comes to burst rifles we do have a couple of options to chose from but none can restore health like the Hema.
I've tested several builds and at the end of the day a straight damage and elemental build proved the best and it's not very expensive either. Only High Voltage from the Naeglar - Eris which is a Hive Infestation mission.
Per shot the weapon will consume three ammo out of the magazine so effectively you are getting twenty shots out of a full magazine. The weapon will drain zero point zero five health from your warframe with a full magazine draining three percent out of maximum health.
Outside of its gimmick the weapons strong point is the base status chance of Twenty Five percent and default Viral Damage with critical chance being low at only eleven percent.
Overall the Hema is a strong weapon as far as burst rifles are concerned but you will have to look for a clan that has the research done and it is the hardest research to complete thus far.
I finally managed to get to the Lato Vandal and the weapon performed pretty much as expected. Mediocre performance with an elemental setup with sixty or ninety mods. Slash build not viable due to the low amount of base status chance, resulting in a small amount of slashes applied to a target.
The weapon's one saving grace is its riven disposition of five out of five which will result in insane stats on riven which in turn can make the weapon competitive. But that only with a riven. I'd recommend you look for CC, CD, Multishot, Damage in any combination with a harmless negative such as - zoom.

To make a long story short, mediocre without a riven, good with a riven and that's pretty much it. Plenty of other secondary weapons that will offer much better performance than the Lato Vandal so the only appeal it has (from my point of view) is it's former heritage.
I didn't see a lot of players using this weapon so I didn't hope for much but thankfully the Secura Dual Cestra surprised me! This secondary is fully capable of shredding high level targets in record time but it does have some severe drawbacks. Heavy Recoil, weak ammo efficiency, very long reload and relatively low accuracy. Even with all these negatives I still love how the weapon plays as it's very similar to something like the Supra or the Dera.
Hello and welcome back, as always, my name is Leyzar and today we will be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 10 secondary weapon - Secura Dual Cestra. As per usual, we're gonna be covering a standard build, something affordable that anybody can get into, but of course, we also have the classic endgame set up with a Riven.
Mod capacity is 60 out of 60, and if your weapon only has 30 out of 30 then jump into actions and plug in an or Orokin Catalyst. The Orokin Catalyst can be found from alerts, invasions, especially after a Dev stream, or you can get it from the daily sortie, or you have the option of paying 20 Plat for it.
My weapon has been format a total of 5 times but this was done for the purpose of testing. For the weapon build I'm gonna be recommending you guys, you can get away with 3.
First of all we are checking how the weapon behaves without any mods equipped. (video) and take a look at the stats, following with recommended mods and the actual builds.

Conclusion: The weapon can be obtained from the Perrin Sequence for one hundred thousand standing and it's more then worth the acquisition and build. You can either go Hybrid or you can ignore critical chance and damage and simply go for raw damage and status chance through the dual stat mods. The Secura Dual Cestra is another weapon that surprised me and I highly recommend it as it's fully capable of annihilating mostly any enemies that would stand before you.
I was one of the fortunate players that got the Dex Sybaris at low MR so it came as a huge upgrade. At that time I didn't know much about building weapons so for a while it laid dormant in my arsenal but now it's finally time to unlock it's full potential.
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 Dex Sybaris. As per the usual, we're gonna be covering a standard build, something affordable that anybody can get into, but of course, we also have the classic endgame set up with a Riven.

Next, we are taking a look at the mods, starting with the mandatory ones. Serration - 165 % extra damage. Next we're gonna go into Multi shot with Split Chamber and Vigilante Armaments, and this will total a hundred and fifty percent Multi Shot between these two. That means that I'm gonna be getting a guaranteed second bullet with each and every shot, and a 50% chance at a third bullet. Also, considering the fact that the Dex Sybaris is primarily a Crit weapon, I will be getting some benefit out of the set bonus from Vigilante Armaments as well.

In terms of build you do have an option but my recommendation would be to work with the weapon's strength and go for a critical build focused around slashes obtained through Hunter Munitions. You can go for either Viral damage or simply amp-up the critical chance and damage depending on what mods you have available, both builds being very efficient.
Another awesome burst rifle that can pack one hell of a punch, the only issue being availability since this one can only be obtained from the yearly Warframe Anniversary celebration.
From the Red Veil comes one of the best bows in the game! The Rakta Cernos and it's outstanding Veil specific Blight proc. This one triggers when you obtain around two thousand affinity during missions, and it will let out an area of effect explosion (twenty five meter radius) that will do one thousand viral damage and restore some of your energy while offering a speed boost as-well. The weapon features fast charger rate with only zero point twenty five per arrow, high base critical chance of thirty five percent with a critical multiplier of two point zero.
Hello and welcome back, as always, my name is Leyzar and today we will be diving deeper into this Mastery Rank 12 primary weapon - The Rakta Cernos. As per usual, we're gonna be covering a standard build, something affordable that anybody can get into, but of course, we also have the classic endgame set up with a Riven.
Let's jump into the Rakta Cernos and we will begin by having a look at how the weapon behaves without any mods equipped. For that I'm simply gonna be taking a couple of free shots. The Rakta Cernos is a traditional bow in every sense of the word. You have a charge at time, you will release an arrow, it has travel time and it does have a ever so slight drop off ... you see that? It's not all that bad, especially if you're not taking into account super long-range shots, so in essence, it's pretty easy to use as far as both are concerned.
Now, if you take a look at the lower right corner you will see next to ammo a very interesting symbol ... it kind of looks like a feather of sorts. That is the symbol of Red Veil ... where you get this weapon from. Now, if you don't have the Red Veil syndicate you can buy it from the trade chat, people charge for this one around 40 plat, something like that. Anyway, the point of that symbol is that while you're doing missions you will be getting affinity (even if you're maxed on all your weapons and your Warframe or Sentinel). Once you get 2,000 affinity, you will release an AoE blast, 25 meter radius, dealing 1000 viral damage, and applying the viral status effect. You're also going to be getting 25% of your base energy back, and a 10% movement speed for 30 seconds, and this is one of the reasons that people love the Rakta Cernos. This is the syndicate proc of Red Veil.
Next we will continue with a short analysis of the stats (video below)
My weapon has been format a total of two times, and this only for testing. The Rakta Cernos by default does come with two polarities: we have two V's and one Dash, so it's definitely not a forma heavy weapon. For the weapon builds I'm recommending you guys ... you can even get away with no forma.
Riven disposition is 2 out of 5. Now, the Rakta Cernos, and not only (the Cernos family in general) is kind of popular, so therefore the Rivens aren't really gonna be all that spectacular, still 2 out of 5 though, from my point of view still worth getting.
Status chance is 15%, and a whole lot of impact on the weapon. Sadly, this is the biggest problem it has ... if it was Puncture, or if it was Slash, then the Rakta Cernos would have been a lot stronger. Unfortunately for us, it's primarily a impact weapon.
Let's start slapping on some mods, starting with the mandatory ones.
Serration, 165 % extra damage, then we're gonna move over to Multi Shot with Split Chamber. We're not gonna stop there and we're also gonna be adding Vigilante Armaments. Basically this is a bow, but it does take rifle mods. So we're gonna get 90% from Split Chamber, and 60% from Vigilante Armaments, totaling a hundred and fifty percent Multi. That means that I have a guaranteed second arrow, with each and every shot, and a 50% chance at a third arrow. Also, this is primarily a Crit weapon, so I'm gonna be seeing some crit ups from the set bonus on vigilante armaments - not all that much, once again ... Vigilante armaments set bones should be taken into account as an afterthought and nothing more.

As far as weapon build are concern, the best approach is running a Hunter Munitions focused build together with Argon Scope and Bladed rounds. Although Viral damage is always a good idea, when it comes to slash builds I don't recommend it with this type of weapon as it's very unreliable. Overall it would be hard for me to chose only one bow. Thankfully, I don't have to, as we can use all of them with no restrictions.
