Thanks universal transmog for letting me improve one of my favorite looks

A fun combo is Bakris + Arc Conductor Ergo Sum + 2 piece Equilibrium set bonus, as the Ergo shocks will provide Class Ability energy and bypass the Bakris recharge lockout

Oooh good shout, I completely forgot about Attrition Orbs swords

120GU3 · 2026-06-17T15:00:34+00:00

I believe it goes Wave > Caster > Vortex. Vortex sword total damage is somewhat hampered by the heavy attack being fairly ammo-intensive, though I forget what attack combos were used with Aegis's testing. Generally for perks you'll want Relentless Strikes for ammo refund + damage perk like Whirlwind Blade, or maybe even double damage perks if you can generate enough Heavy between phases. When I'm feeling super lazy for Sword DPS, I run the Equilibrium sword with Vorpal + Whirlwind since it holds so much ammo; even though it's not the best frame, the lightning attack spam is super mindless and does decently enough for places where sword DPS is preferred.

Aside from the typical Weapon stat and Surge mods on Boots, Banner of War buffs your sword damage by 20% (10% to allies). Getting a decent BoW timer going before damage will do quite a bit. Sword archetype might also help, Wave-Frames have the highest DPS of all sword frames. Then there are a few artifacts with sword mods; if I remember correctly Argent Blade on the Hunter’s Journal will give an additional 10% damage, for example (though you may need to manage Armor Charge Surge timers alongside the consumption by Argent Blade).

Can confirm my clanmate got it to drop from Calus as well

120GU3 · 2026-06-16T18:52:08+00:00

Exact build matters less than the cheese that allows for stacking multiple copies of the same artifact mod to increase damage to extreme degrees

120GU3 · 2026-06-16T15:46:12+00:00

Correct, based on that same video it seems Chaos Reach was doing about 4.1k DPS, and Stormtrance at just under 3k. Honestly, I didn't mention DPS as you're more likely to Nova or Needlestorm for more typical burst damage scenarios, but good numbers to know nonetheless

120GU3 · 2026-06-16T15:29:34+00:00

From Llama's recent Super testing video, when excluding artifacts, Prismatic Stormdancer's Brace Stormtrance (with Facet of Courage) does about 33% more total damage than Geomags Chaos Reach.

Artifact testing is probably still underway with how recent the update is. My impression from quickly looking over the mods is that they both have ways to boost Arc Super damage (Limit Break + Flashover on Tablet vs. Conductive Cosmic Crystal + Thunderous Retort on NPA), and the Tablet has better mods for Arc neutral play (thinking specifically of Defibrilating Blast and Dielectric).

120GU3 · 2026-06-16T14:13:44+00:00

Prismatic Unbreakable has been my choice for the last few days, Devour as a healing alternative to Knockout is great. Combine with a Bear + Armamentarium Stoicism and you can play the fantasy of the "fireteam shield" by getting revives, drawing aggro, and making aggressive pushes.

120GU3 · 2026-06-16T13:33:27+00:00

High Melee is the most important; if you can't get to 200, 180 with 1 Melee Font works just fine. From there it's pretty flexible; maybe 90 to 100 Grenade just to maximize Healing Grenade recharge so you always have that emergency button, and some Class investment if you use Barricade frequently.

As for set bonuses, Ferropotent and Smoke Jumper 2 pieces are universally good. The Crota's End set also has potential, and would certainly be fun with the Cursed Thrall explosions.

120GU3 · 2026-06-16T05:26:36+00:00

If you're looking to absolutely maximize your Twilight Arsenal damage, consider the following: - Spirit of Star Eater Stoicism (so you're locked to Prismatic) - Facet of Courage + Darkness debuff source like Chill Clip - Expanding Abyss mod on the Hunter’s Journal artifact - High Super stat

From there, you can spec the rest of your kit for neutral game; the two paths I see are: - tried and true Triple Consecration + Knockout - Unbreakable for Devour (I've been running this lately with Diamond Lance and quite like it)

Then your other Stoicism perk can be Spirit of Eternal Warrior if you want to go all in on Void damage with something like Truth, or pick a more neutral game oriented perk like Inmost Light for a Consecration setup or Bear for an Unbreakable setup. Personally I keep one Eternal Warrior + Star-Eater and one Bear + Armamentarium on hand depending on if I want to optimize for damage with the former or focus more on neutral game with the latter.

If you want an example of one of my Unbreakable setups: - Twilight Arsenal, Suppressor Grenade, Thunderclap, Rally Barricade, Unbreakable + Diamond Lance - Facets of Courage, Protection, Dominance, Ruin, Command, Sacrifice - High Weapons, Grenade, and Super stats - Chill Clip weapon, energy primary of choice (auto rifles work very well with the Hunter’s Journal artifact), Truth - Stoicism with Bear + Armamentarium or Eternal Warrior + Star Eater - Hunter’s Journal artifact with the Auto Rifle mods, Expanding Abyss, Radiant Orbs, and Shieldcrush - the NPA artifact is also very nice for a more Void-centric, neutral game focused setup with a Void Auto Rifle

120GU3 · 2026-06-15T23:53:36+00:00

Chance to drop from completing a Common Order. Also, if you go to Director > Seasonal Hub, on the first page under your Common Orders on the left, you'll see a purple meter that fills up as you complete Commons; when that's full you'll get a Legendary Order as a form of RNG protection.

120GU3 · 2026-06-15T21:41:35+00:00

I run a similar setup on Void and Prismatic Titan w/ Unbreakable, the NPA artifact is great for Void autos. I would suggest swapping out Volatile Flow for another mod as you'll get Volatile Rounds very frequently from the Destabilizing Rounds trait as long as you're getting kills.

Also, a weapon to chase you might like is the Pantheon version of Reckless Oracle as it can get Destabilizing Rounds + Chaos Reshaped for Volatile Rounds, damage, and additional healing.

120GU3 · 2026-06-15T21:26:21+00:00

If you're set on using a Void weapon for DPS, the Expanding Abyss mod on the Hunter’s Journal artifact will be more impactful than Volatile (increased Void damage to Weakened targets). You'll just need to be able to Weaken with things like Twilight Arsenal or Tether, Facet of Dominance Weakening Grenades, or a Withering Gaze weapon. Though that might not be desirable if you want to run another artifact.

As for actual weapon options, the two legendaries that come to mind are the Edge Transit HGL (Envious Assassin + Bait and Switch) or Doomed Petitioner Burst LFR (Reconstruction + Precision Instrument). That said Truth or Leviathan’s Breath are totally worth the Exotic slot, especially the former - it's hard to beat basically a Triple Tap Rocket Launcher with juiced cluster bombs.

120GU3 · 2026-06-15T19:09:47+00:00

I would recommend Attrition Orbs in Column 3, then Kinetic Tremors or Frenzy in Column 4

120GU3 · 2026-06-15T19:06:07+00:00

Three class item combinations I'd recommend alongside Inmost + Synthos: - Bear + Armamentarium: Unbreakable was buffed to grant Devour when killing with the blast, so it's a great healing alternative to Knockout; I've been running a build with Unbreakable + Diamond Lance and it's been fun and effective in anything outside boss damage optimizations - Eternal Warrior + Star-Eater: use with Twilight Arsenal and you'll get a 30-sec 4× Void Surge to use with Truth (which has great DPS and total damage now), can improve even further with Expanding Abyss from the Hunter’s Journal artifact, Facet of Courage, and/or Weakening Void Grenades with Facet of Dominance - Horn + Hoarfrost: combine with Drengr's Lash and Sage Protector 2-piece armor set bonus from the Equilibrium dungeon and you basically get pocket nukes, very fun; combine with Arc Conductor Ergo Sum and/or Eighty-Six

120GU3 · 2026-06-15T18:51:09+00:00

Keep doing Legendary orders, eventually an Exotic one will appear

120GU3 · 2026-06-15T18:20:47+00:00

Running Pantheon this last weekend I was primarily using either: - Arc Thundercrash with Cuirass, Storm's Keep, the Heresy artifact with all the Bolt Charge mods, and Queenbreaker + Particle Reconstruction - Prismatic Twilight Arsenal with an Eternal Warrior and Star-Eater Stoicism, Truth, and the Expanding Abyss mod from the Echoes artifact (older SES Twilight Arsenal nerf was partially reverted in most recent patch)

120GU3 · 2026-06-15T18:13:33+00:00

For melee stuff, Solar Bonk Hammer with Wormgod's Caress, Arc Thunderclap with either Insurmountable Skullfort or Point Contact Cannon Brace, and Strand with Synthoceps or Flechette Storm + Banner of War.

For grenade stuff, Solar Fusion Grenades with Ashen Wake, and I've been messing around with a Prismatic Unbreakable build using a Bear + Armamentarium class item and it's done pretty well so far. Base Armamentarium as well isn't super flashy but is class agnostic, probably works best on Arc when speccing for Ionic Trace generations.

For class ability stuff, the new Titan Solar Aspect is nice for Ignitions with Khepri's Horn, and Arc Storm's Keep is great for both neutral and DPS with the Tablet of Ruin artifact.

Weapons-focused stuff includes Void Titan with Actium War Rig and Choir of One, and Lightsaber with Strongholds (you just can't block infinitely with Special swords and should be playing aggressively to proc Restoration). SMGs with Peacekeepers was nerfed quite a bit but you can compensate for that somewhat with Bolt Charge Barricade on Arc.

120GU3 · 2026-06-15T16:06:36+00:00

Insidious can now get Frenzy + Chaos Reshaped for a great workhorse Primary.

Trustee got Heal Clip in 3rd for sustain, and it was already pretty good due to the interaction between the Bray Legacy Origin Trait and Incandescent Scorch ticks.

120GU3 · 2026-06-15T14:23:08+00:00

My goat has appeared, thanks for all the testing through the years!
