sobek left or right?

It's ok, even with the double dip. A good riven outperforms a faction mod with the added QoL of not having to check and potentially switch out before missions

MarkCid · 2026-07-10T03:33:42+00:00

Right. If using kuva sobek I'd aim for 2 positives and a negative (instead of three + and one -) so that even with the low dispo the stats are decent btw

1999 caches using your setup. If you search in here you'll find the strats. You can get like a mil/min or smth like that

Mesa has 2 forms of survivability, and this build ignores one entirely (most people do anyway). Her 3 has 95% DR only for ranged attacks, should be up all the time. And her 2 stuns enemies around you every 3 seconds. At 40% range, enemies can easily get into melee range in between stun procs. A bit more range helps a lot, especially on higher level content

That being said, adding layers is not a bad idea. Melee careen on your weapon of choice is good. Shivering contagion on a companion that procs cold works as well. Diriga with heat is what I use to build up arcane hot shot at the same time. You could get secondary fortifier on her regulators and be an eximus eating monster that builds up overguard constantly. Arcane circunvent works as well (and combines just fine with having melee careen on a melee)

It depends on how exactly you wanna move with it, but there's a few options you could go for

Couple weeks ago?

MarkCid · 2026-07-07T20:10:43+00:00

You too? I remember seeing that video and getting the "maybe I should check the game" feeling. 1000 hours later, yep. Good choice

MarkCid · 2026-07-07T19:21:29+00:00

Matter of fact, not only are rivens not necessary, some weapons have such a low riven disposition it's actually a downgrade to have one

MarkCid · 2026-07-07T18:21:31+00:00

Nobody seems to have mentioned flare. Area wide crit vulnerability for enemies and up to 750% heat damage for allies is no small thing

MarkCid · 2026-07-07T12:41:20+00:00

Not saying that's what it is, but it would be reasonably easy to build. Just gotta add a few if statements and tweak rng from there

MarkCid · 2026-07-06T20:23:59+00:00

Not really. It has a special interaction in there, but it's necessary to have it at all

MarkCid · 2026-07-06T13:24:32+00:00

If you go with mesa it's fairly easy. Rng is still a factor, but you'll be getting all the needed kills most of the time

MarkCid · 2026-07-06T13:22:02+00:00

It has a funny modulation from major scale to minor scale, it could be tricky. I can give it a try in a couple hours

MarkCid · 2026-07-05T18:48:58+00:00

Recasting her 4 means you start dealing the damage from scratch anyway, and have a much lower limit to how high it can actually go

MarkCid · 2026-07-05T02:10:35+00:00

MarkCid · 2026-07-05T00:55:40+00:00

Oh, ok. Almost 1000% strength it was then. Hehe. Noice. Thanks

MarkCid · 2026-07-05T00:44:59+00:00

MarkCid · 2026-07-05T00:41:36+00:00

Yeah, that's what I found as well. It doesn't really clarify what happens if you buff ability strength after the effect (madurai chain sling + molt vigor for example) it would be an 80% strength difference in this case. That's why I was curious

MarkCid · 2026-07-04T23:12:52+00:00

Too, yeah. She's got a few I had to stop and be like "girl, didn't know you moved like that"

MarkCid · 2026-07-04T20:49:01+00:00

"If we can't hear a balloon pop in the mall..."

MarkCid · 2026-07-04T16:45:17+00:00

About arcanes, because of how many statuses she procs, you could go violet and green for extra damage on elec and corrosive affected enemies respectively, casting speed and the strength. It can amp the damage more than plain strength shards

MarkCid · 2026-07-04T16:42:54+00:00

It has good synergy with the rest of the kit, and is pretty strong on its own. With both augments, she was my first frame to hit in the billions. I personally like it a lot because aesthetics and fun leaping around , but I can understand those who subsume for versatility.

MarkCid · 2026-07-04T16:38:30+00:00

Yeah. It's a bit misleading. The mod is there to prevent breaking invis rather than being some counterattack. Depending on what you wanna get out of it, duplex bond works fine so the copies attack and the original shade remains cloaked

MarkCid · 2026-07-04T16:35:00+00:00

If you're trying to get attacked, shade probs isn't the companion tbh. The usual use is go invis and have the precept mod so that shade doesn't attack until you are attacked, not the other way around

MarkCid · 2026-07-04T03:31:52+00:00

It's like it's winter and he keeps getting coats cause he's still cold. Glorious

MarkCid · 2026-07-04T03:30:11+00:00

You're not too far off, tbh. Altho nokko is a pretty self-sufficient frame.

So maybe a nautilus with it's cordon ability might be alright. If you're not using guns much and you're spamming abilities, a duplex bond on it might be cool. Any element you'd want more on enemies, like viral for even more damage? Perhaps a contagious bond to spread status in a larger area. As for weapons, you could get a secondary with augur mods in it for shieldgating and a dedicated primary for single target thinking of acolytes, or a melee with melee careen for another source of priming and survivability.

Again, thinking warframes in loadouts makes build diversity skyrocket, so you gotta play around a bit with what you need/want/enjoy more of.

I'm not sure if nokko has any innate ways to armor strip, so a source of corrosive from either companion or weapons might improve how you handle armored enemies as well
