Even though enemies receive percentage increased damage vulnerability to weapons and abilities when they are affected by splinter storm, you will 1 shot them regardless, so you don't even notice the Augment unless you're using weapons to kill them or sitting back using your 4th blast explosion.
So you didn't know that's how splinter storm works, people pointed it out, and now you're trying to justify calling it dog shit because you thought all it did was the small ticking damage over time
I was so excited when I first read it. And then I used it... I really hope de will change it to what we wanted it to be cuz at this point I agree with knightmare, it's dog.
Just a note, I wouldn't say that the augmentation is all that bad. It's not as busted as I had hoped upon first seeing it, but applying shatter shield on all the enemies that get hit is definitely a benefit since it amplifies damage received. It's a 35% damage increase on all enemies affected, I'm just not sure but I think that counts as faction damage multiplier since it affects both weapons and abilities, which would be very good since that scales on power strength.
After a bit of research it is not calculated in the damage modifiers. It is calculated the same way that banshees sonar is, which means it is a separate modifier to the entire damage calculation. So it basically gives a mini sonar to garas kit by itself that you don't have to aim at a specific spot on the body for.
Stat stick: YOU ARE ONLY USING THE MODS OF THE MELEE WEAPON (AND NOT USING THE WEAPON ITSELF) TO POWER AND STRENGTHEN YOUR WARFRAME ABILITY/PSEUDO EXALTED WEAPON. THE WEAPON DOSEN'T MATTER, ONLY THE MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!! For people who still dont understand
Ive heard the term "stat stick" thrown around for a lot of different games but never really knew what it meant,I appreciate you explaining exactly what it is lol.
Thank you a million times for this build. It not only helped me find my favorite frame...it gave me an entire new layer of understanding in the game. My Gara Prime is now a MONSTER and my God do I love her...and you 😊
Gara ability description chair dance was so damn accurate and haliarious. I have been using gara occasionally for the last couple weeks and never noticed the change and likely wouldnt have for months if this video hadnt popped up.
This one change where you can pop your bubble while inside makes Gara way more usable. I modded her for more duration like what Brozime did and did what NightmareFrame did and put nourish on her and it is like night and day. No longer worrying about timers since both are over a minute, it is just run around and whirling blades of death everything while not worrying about energy or time. Put one archon shard on her to start with 30% energy and good to go.
Omg I'm so glad that I stumbled upon this video....I recently built Gara to try the dmg stacking and I was following an (I guess) "old" reddit guide which says to do your 1 on your 4 form the outside......so I have been doing exactly what you demonstrate here 1:09 in my missions xD
Thank you so much for this video, KnightmareFrame, I used to use Gara all the time years ago when she came out but stopped for reasons I can’t remember. I wanted to start using her again after seeing the augment and qol change, but none of the videos I could find were super recent or relevant, so I gave up until I saw this in my suggested :)
Broooo I've watching u and using your builds and guides for years, but this time, this time I had to say say something, this build is bonkers and I'm officially a Gara Prime main lmao
So the new augment is basically just a troll, where the devs were like: "Everyone and their grandma is going to go bananas over this, when they read this, just to see the their dreams get SHATTERED infront of their eyes once they try it out in simulacrum."
May I suggest putting reflex guard on her, to stack up combo on the stat Stick. Additionally, you can put eclipse on her, to boost the damage from her 1 (I tried it, it works) I managed to stack about 1 million damage on her 2 per rotation. Admittedly with a riven
I'm pretty sure Shattered Lash scales with combo multiplier up to 4x dmg on 12x combo which will help you get more stacks on your Splinter Storm FASTER (I use glaives to build combo to stay stationary)
ALSO, enemies that are affected by vitrify are debuffed and take increased dmg. Enemies that have had her 2 cast on them also take increased dmg. SO, you can vitrify them, press 2 on them, and then hit them with your weapon for ekscha ouchies. (not necessary but its a thing).
Hey guys, i have an alternative build if you dont have nourish in your helminth. First off whatre you doing? Put the work in to get nourish. Secondly, you can instead use nekros’ terrify to 100% armor strip considering you have enough strength. This will replace her 3rd ability. Energy economy can easily be maintained with equilibrium, preparation, primed flow, 2-3 blue archon shards and the zariman focus school. And if youre running a team comp, having someone with nourish will guarantee you’ll never run out of energy. Personally i build her for range and strength with negative efficiency and a little bit of duration. Stat stick is ofc the ceramic dagger with a groll riven. Companion is wyrm prime with the negate mod since i dont run rolling guard. As for the 2-3 free archon slots I’d recommend going with the tauforged violet archon shards OR just go with 5 tau violet shards. I prefer to have melee duplicate instead of melee crescendo just cause i have a groll riven, but either is fine. This build will see you doing crazy numbers while tanking everything under the sun. Oh and nullifiers? Use the miter as your primary and then nothing can stop you :)
@@kobihannah fair question: its dependent having a positive duration, so no transient fortitude, and not spamming terrify too much since that uses 100+ energy. This way you have energy to recast her 4 to refresh the splinter storm counter. In addition to just paying attention to the countdown on her 2. I think its a 20 second countdown at base duration? Sure its a little micromanaging, but what else will ya do as you stand still and nuke 😂 another build that i found that works well for nuking tiles like hydron is dropping preparation for power drift and putting dispensary over her 3. This one might make your team shock in awe or leave the mission since you can endlessly spam her 4-1 combo 😂
Her new augment isn't trash, when the enemies have splinter storm on them they also have a damage multiplier applied to them which scales with Gara's ability strength. This augment gives you an easy way to spread that multiplier to crowds of enemies, not to mention that this works through walls and can proc her passive to blind enemies.
running both her 2 and 1 augment means every enemy affected counts toward your regen, making you effectively unkillable as long as you have decent health since now the whole map is affected by her 2. as well as her 2 being a damage multiplier on enemies in general which is very nice. honestly been loving the augment lately myself, but on its own yeah its not too great ill admit. kinda wish it did scale with her 2 stacks but idk how busted thatd be tbh lol i do gotta try out the Nourish idea tho, i just run Dispensary on mine atm. didnt realize the damage buff counted towards statsticks ngl
I just started playing warframe. About 60 hours in now. Currently waiting for my gara to be built. I did heard about the stack damage on her splinter storm before i even got her blueprint. Tho, from all the guides ive seen, its rather terrifying to even try to figure out how the heck do i get to such lengths to even begin to build her 😭 idek that archons or whatever tf those red shards are even existed till a few mins ago 💀 Literally the only thing i even remotely know about is the concept of stat stick. Only cuz ive seen way too many guides explaining what it is and what it does Tho i'll be saving this for future guidance. Thanks in advance man, it'll probably help me a lot later
Hey man, i actually just completed the quest line that got me all that stuff, so ill say, while you are eventually going to need this stuff for very high level, i currently just run a reactored guandao with a bunch of damage mods and ability strength and i get about 15k per cast and break...with efficiency and duration, youll melt enemies into the level hundreds with just four or five casts, and its pretty easy to maintain.
@@zeke2139 dang thats cool. I just got gara like two days ago and as of this moment, im using bo lmao. Just to grind my way to jupiter tho to get a neural sensor to make tipedo. So far so good. Mowing down enemies with melee lmfaoo. I still need to rank my gara up tho cuz rn the only mods i can slap in are for health, shield, armor and a lil bit for energy 😭 So i havent try the splinter storm stack but it did somehow stacked on its own sometimes which im not sure why LMAO but not by a lot ofc. As for guandao, is it good? Might try it if it is. Thanks man
@@noaika5342 I don't want to spoil anything, but I would suggest following the quest line, you get a number of really excellent melees from there. As for whether guandao is good, it's decent, but it gets outscaled quickly: the only reason I use it is because I gave it extra mod slots with an orokin reactor at some point and I never use it otherwise.
The augment is to be tied with the other augment so that you can turn rooms of enemies into healing totems (but thats not even needed). sorry for so many comments in a row but theres like a lot of stuff that comes to mind while watching it and i dont like replying to myself and i dont like editing. SO SORRY JEESUS F.
The augment also refreshes when you break another glass ring on enemies so it d9es the same building that you get at 100% instead of 50% so it builds quicker btw
Would you believe me If I said I spent like a year without playing WF and I was going outside the 4th's glass and not only that but hitting it with the glass whip instead of just pressing 1 on the inside until yesterday? Holy fuck.
She's been super strong before the change but the need to roll out of your 4 to get stacks made me not play her now knowing that's fixed I might play her a lot
Don't forget to use your 2 on your sentinel or cat or dog or robotics as well and even specters. It's hilarious when acolytes spawn near your whole splinter army they just die in an instant.
So baffling that Grendel, Gara and Mag ever worked differently than they now do. Pablo please give Titania 1 tap casting like Nourish got. Hate the ability rotator, so fiddly.
PSA: Splinter Storms Stat Sticks grant *more damage with Corrupt Charge than Spoiled Strike* (only applicable in builds where you cannot use both i.e. Slot taken up by a Riven) Results *- Corrupt Charge - [ 26.3K ]* *- Spoiled Strike - [ 25.4K ]* Testing Variables - Simulacrum - - Gara Power Strength - 160% (145% + 15% Molt Vigor) - Splinter Storm Base Damage - 362 - Stat Stick - [Dark Split-Sword] *| Pressure Point (Prime) | Fever Strike (Prime) | +90% Elemental Mods (X3) | Auger Strike | Riven Mod (218.7% Melee Damage) | Independent Variable (Corrupt Charge/Spoiled Strike) |* Conclusion Corrupt Charge is better than Spoiled Strike for Gara in situations where one cannot use both, however the damage difference is negligible (
I only play gara and this build is somewhat right. puncture cost less but the slash from your 1 is a better build. Slash also does damage to the enemies it hits and hits more enemies than puncture also shattered storm has functionality in high levels when enemies are too strong to one shot making your attacks after they are affect by shattered storm stronger because it acts as a bane mod when enemies are affected meaning it doesn’t matter what you play all enemy type will have bane effects on them
I have always been fascinated with the concept of Gara, but never really knew how to play her. Thank you for this video. I now have a better understanding of her mechanics. 2 questions, if I may: Do Zaw arcanes affect her pseudo-exalted? The other questions is, seeing as I don't have Nourish, is Roar a viable option?
Outside of not including the Lesion (100% Toxin Damage) as one of the good melee's for Gara overall, This is one of the more complete list of utility for her Kit. Here I as, thinking I was the only person running Out Of sight, Blood For energy , Blood for Life on my Parazon. Lest we forget if you get tired, You can use finishers to kill blinded enemies easily. Running Unairu against the Demolyst/Demolisher is fun.
That ONE change to Gara's method of breaking her mass vitrify wall has just COMPLETELY changed the way you enjoy playing as her now. Oooof... this is the difference between Pablo at the helm and that other guy - I forget his name now - former dev (not Steve). Goes to show how much different the game will be if the Dev ACTUALLY played the fking game in any modicum of high level content.
Arcane Arachne, Arcane Fury, Arcane Primary Charger all work well. If you are into CCing enemies with your 4 at higher levels, Guardian, Ultimatum, Tanker are excellent.
Run a gunblade to easily build to 12x so fast. The sacrifice in straight damage mods for attack speed/additional combo count more than makes up for it when you can get to 12x in like 3 seconds while standing in the same spot.
Recasting 4 will stop the expansion.. so if youre not using big range, then you really only need to roll once or take two or three steps in one direction and turn around. Range affects the initial size of her 4, duration affects expansion over time. So, even with smol range but big durations you can get a really good size vitrify. If you want to troll your squad, play max range max duration gara on hydron and cast your 4 and let it expand throughout each wave, and freeze all the enemies in place before they can leave their spawn closets, and / or keep new spawns inside with the vitrify wall if you arent breaking it.
But do you build strong wals with her to protect you and Allies at high levels?! I use Magus Anomaly to get a bunch of enemies in and build millions of health on the wall. Stron enough to hold in Demolishers and Acolytes
The Augment is not trash you have to combine it with mending splinters to gain all the health/sec enemies literally cannot damage you through that amount of healing if you have citrine or wisp in ur party you are invincible
Don't forget to use sentinel, buff em splinter storm to get double dmg. While you mass vatrify you refresh the splinter for sentinel too. I try to use kubrow and kavat they do 1 hit enemy but they keep running around when i try to mass vatrify to refresh splinter storm so just use sentinel.
Why was next to no one aware that if you hit her vitrify a second time it stopped it growing & solidified her wall where it was? It was double tap 4 and walk 2 steps over to break, you didn't have to run to the outside of her 40m wall lol
Does anyone know what the "back piece" with the shards coming out is? Only think I can think of is that it's on the Kaleida skin but is it also separate?
They're called Starglaze Shards. They come with Kaleida - even just the skin, you don't need the collection. If you want the Glistor Syandana, you have to buy the collection tho.
Now if only they can rework Loki into a support frame, and make the Decoy absorb damage within its active duration then detonate... or make it like Wukong's clone as an Exalted
The melee weapon does matter. Some melee weapons have implicit initial combo (fragor prime, furax wraith, etc...) Those will affect gara's shattered lash damage. This could save a mod slot if you want corrupt charge, or it could give you 4x combo by default with the fragor prime, or with a riven on the furax wraith with corrupt charge.
@@noahedenborg4221 because you won't be able to hit anything with melee. The enemies will die to splinter storm before you can hit them, and if you don't hit them you will not get any combo
@@noahedenborg4221 That's just a waste of time. Option 1: let the enemy shoot you Option 2: just kill it Like, if you just kill all the enemies, you don't have to worry about blocking their bullets. I've heard this so many times and if you actually play Gara, you'd know it makes no sense to ever stop what you are doing to block bullets
It might be basic af but pillage/terrify + epitaph does a better job at inceasing kps than Nourish. Been using praedos to build combo counter as well for fatter stacks. Helps a ton if you fek up and lose your stacks somehow. Just a shame the ammo pick up for combo doesn't work if you have your primary/secondary out.
Yeah. I run Pillage and using that will one shot most mobs to a fairly high level just using Mass Vitrify. Can just sit in the centre of a room and keep spamming.
I have a question I am mastery rank 17 and gara was my 3rd prime frame i leveled her up and never used her again is she worth building and worth putting a orokin catalyst on currently my 2 mains are volt prime and revenant prime
Really sad the augment doesnt do current total. Was hoping I'd be able to use a more regular fun melee instead of a stat stick by building combo and exploding for total ring dmg instead
Isn't molt efficiency kinda dogshit on this shieldgate build? I mean, you will be almost always without shields, so you won't get those extra 8 seconds of duration. May as well use anything else instead.
Not necessarily. If you run adaptation and keep up her two you will almost always have shields up, even in base to mid Sp. It's only when they get really high but this is a base SP build it looks like
Should I be procing second ability splinter storm before breaking 4th ability to get the extra shards added to my splinter storm? I ask cause I'm wondering if I hit 2nd ability after breaking 4th ability will i get the extra shards added to splinter storm for extra damage still? Like I'm guessing I need to have my splinter storm proced and going before breaking 4th ability to get those extra shards and damage right?

So you didn't know that's how splinter storm works, people pointed it out, and now you're trying to justify calling it dog shit because you thought all it did was the small ticking damage over time
@@hom-sha-bom But the small ticks affect enemies within radius, and when Cc'd you can do a lot of damage.
Do you have a video explaining how to do disruption missions.
@@hom-sha-bom HUH
It's because Pepegas like you think the augment is useful, justifying the augments usage.
I was so excited when I first read it.
And then I used it... I really hope de will change it to what we wanted it to be cuz at this point I agree with knightmare, it's dog.

The weapon does matter if you have a riven or augment for it
Nemesis weapon bonuses apply aswell
Do Arcanes affect your Pseudo Exalted Weapon? Or is it only the Mods and Certain Abilities like Nourish.
I don't get how the combo multiplier works for this
@@ChippiesBR gara was changed so that the combo multiplier of the melee will add to the damage of her splinter storm

Really nice and simple explanation to stat sticks and how to play her. Good job.
wtf that aion intro bgm sent shivers and memory flashbacks lol
Totally!
Ahhh I was waiting for this I’ve been struggling with a good Gara build
I've always felt like my shatter storm damage was affected by other players, it made it hard for me to tack down what was determining that damage
Man, making me nostalgic with that Aion music. Wonder how the EU Classic release in March is gonna turn out
That OST at the beginning revived dead neurons in my brain, I hadn't listened to it much less played Aion for more than a decade omg the memories

Damn.. im legit editing my video on this right now.
Legit looks like everybody's uploading a gara video at the same time lol
I only play gara and this build is somewhat right. puncture cost less but the slash from your 1 is a better build. Slash also does damage to the enemies it hits and hits more enemies than puncture also shattered storm has functionality in high levels when enemies are too strong to one shot making your attacks after they are affect by shattered storm stronger because it acts as a bane mod when enemies are affected meaning it doesn’t matter what you play all enemy type will have bane effects on them
Thank you aa always 💓
If you use the gara two augment mod +200% strenght + adaptation you become imortal.
The mod its not shit if you know how to use it.
unfortunately there's a limit. immortal for base SP and under but that's pretty much it.
@@KnightmareFrame true. But not everyone play steel path for long time and. And it still makes it a good mod with sinergy.
@@KnightmareFrame Do people really love sitting in one mission for more than 20 minutes?
Damn. I pray for their kidneys.
The aion ost in the intro 👍👍
I really hated her slash nuke build. This is much better
I have always been fascinated with the concept of Gara, but never really knew how to play her. Thank you for this video. I now have a better understanding of her mechanics.
2 questions, if I may: Do Zaw arcanes affect her pseudo-exalted? The other questions is, seeing as I don't have Nourish, is Roar a viable option?
for the 1st not any of them iirc
for the 2nd eclipse works aswell but eclipse needs bright so yeah roar can work
Eclipse better than roar,, just play on void.
@@Rizingfz08 well that depends
Splinter storm debuffs enemies, so the augment is actually fine.
Outside of not including the Lesion (100% Toxin Damage) as one of the good melee's for Gara overall, This is one of the more complete list of utility for her Kit. Here I as, thinking I was the only person running Out Of sight, Blood For energy , Blood for Life on my Parazon. Lest we forget if you get tired, You can use finishers to kill blinded enemies easily. Running Unairu against the Demolyst/Demolisher is fun.
Gara is one of my fav frames
Gara was my first Prime. I want her to be good again. So my other girls: Wisp, Nyx and Garuda can look at her in Envy.
She's always been good, just forma heavy
Gara has always been good.
Hiw to be more good than this?
That ONE change to Gara's method of breaking her mass vitrify wall has just COMPLETELY changed the way you enjoy playing as her now. Oooof... this is the difference between Pablo at the helm and that other guy - I forget his name now - former dev (not Steve). Goes to show how much different the game will be if the Dev ACTUALLY played the fking game in any modicum of high level content.

i have a dumb question, does it matter whether you use the swipe or just the regular version on your 1, do they affect the shatter the same?
he said that swipe deals slash damage while hit deals impact damage
@@hurrricane its puncture not impact
You mentioned the variable arcane slot, Arcane Arachne would probably work too
My pick is arcane fury
Arcane Arachne, Arcane Fury, Arcane Primary Charger all work well. If you are into CCing enemies with your 4 at higher levels, Guardian, Ultimatum, Tanker are excellent.
Run a gunblade to easily build to 12x so fast. The sacrifice in straight damage mods for attack speed/additional combo count more than makes up for it when you can get to 12x in like 3 seconds while standing in the same spot.
so tested the rev augment and it does stack with reave once so you can give allies 6 mesmer skin stacks
I am so glad, that they fixed her.
They still nerfed steel essence (limited 25 per week teshin )
Recasting 4 will stop the expansion.. so if youre not using big range, then you really only need to roll once or take two or three steps in one direction and turn around. Range affects the initial size of her 4, duration affects expansion over time. So, even with smol range but big durations you can get a really good size vitrify.
If you want to troll your squad, play max range max duration gara on hydron and cast your 4 and let it expand throughout each wave, and freeze all the enemies in place before they can leave their spawn closets, and / or keep new spawns inside with the vitrify wall if you arent breaking it.
But do you build strong wals with her to protect you and Allies at high levels?! I use Magus Anomaly to get a bunch of enemies in and build millions of health on the wall. Stron enough to hold in Demolishers and Acolytes
Thanks for video bro iv dropped you a sub
The Augment is not trash you have to combine it with mending splinters to gain all the health/sec enemies literally cannot damage you through that amount of healing if you have citrine or wisp in ur party you are invincible
Or you can get enemies closer to each other and it works like a poor man's Electricity procs. Easy CC with Magus Anomaly
That AION OST tho 😂
Yeah right? My first mmo 😅
fire video !!!
When the melee weapon nowadays does matter cause incarnon benefits
oh right the base dmg evolutions on some weapons would be much better for stat sticks
@@TheGreenHon incarnon form also works as adding more damage as well p sure
Don't forget to use sentinel, buff em splinter storm to get double dmg. While you mass vatrify you refresh the splinter for sentinel too. I try to use kubrow and kavat they do 1 hit enemy but they keep running around when i try to mass vatrify to refresh splinter storm so just use sentinel.
Why was next to no one aware that if you hit her vitrify a second time it stopped it growing & solidified her wall where it was? It was double tap 4 and walk 2 steps over to break, you didn't have to run to the outside of her 40m wall lol
cus people don’t read abilities
@Marco Cruz like wisps built in rolling guard in her 2 xD
Does anyone know what the "back piece" with the shards coming out is? Only think I can think of is that it's on the Kaleida skin but is it also separate?
I think it's a syandana from her prime access
They're called Starglaze Shards. They come with Kaleida - even just the skin, you don't need the collection. If you want the Glistor Syandana, you have to buy the collection tho.
Was that aion soundtrack playing on background man i miss that game so much
Finally my build 😬
Hmmm... So what is a stat stick again?
Now if only they can rework Loki into a support frame, and make the Decoy absorb damage within its active duration then detonate... or make it like Wukong's clone as an Exalted
The melee weapon does matter. Some melee weapons have implicit initial combo (fragor prime, furax wraith, etc...) Those will affect gara's shattered lash damage. This could save a mod slot if you want corrupt charge, or it could give you 4x combo by default with the fragor prime, or with a riven on the furax wraith with corrupt charge.
why do that when u can jsut build combo and keep it by meleeing every now and again
@@noahedenborg4221 because you won't be able to hit anything with melee. The enemies will die to splinter storm before you can hit them, and if you don't hit them you will not get any combo
@@WotsOnSecond literally let them shoot you blocking builds combo which can keep ur combo up
@@noahedenborg4221 That's just a waste of time.
Option 1: let the enemy shoot you
Option 2: just kill it
Like, if you just kill all the enemies, you don't have to worry about blocking their bullets.
I've heard this so many times and if you actually play Gara, you'd know it makes no sense to ever stop what you are doing to block bullets
@@WotsOnSecond not bullets just bullet unless u are running naramon u fuck
thank you kind sir
It might be basic af but pillage/terrify + epitaph does a better job at inceasing kps than Nourish. Been using praedos to build combo counter as well for fatter stacks. Helps a ton if you fek up and lose your stacks somehow. Just a shame the ammo pick up for combo doesn't work if you have your primary/secondary out.
Yeah. I run Pillage and using that will one shot most mobs to a fairly high level just using Mass Vitrify. Can just sit in the centre of a room and keep spamming.
I mained nova for like... six years... and then Gara happened.
I have a question
I am mastery rank 17 and gara was my 3rd prime frame i leveled her up and never used her again is she worth building and worth putting a orokin catalyst on currently my 2 mains are volt prime and revenant prime
Depends on your playstyle my dude. Gara is more involved.
JUST. DO IT! :p
Did you not watch the video and just comment immediately?
Really sad the augment doesnt do current total. Was hoping I'd be able to use a more regular fun melee instead of a stat stick by building combo and exploding for total ring dmg instead
Woah I didn’t hear you say you sure footed line “less time on your butt is a huge dps increase” I was about to say it with you
I don't know if it's your lighting but you always look like you're in a GTA loading screen
Isn't molt efficiency kinda dogshit on this shieldgate build? I mean, you will be almost always without shields, so you won't get those extra 8 seconds of duration. May as well use anything else instead.
Not necessarily. If you run adaptation and keep up her two you will almost always have shields up, even in base to mid Sp. It's only when they get really high but this is a base SP build it looks like
What weapon is the most recommended considering its riven disposition to use it as a stat stick?
Any that have 5/5 disposition.
jaw sword can be really good, either for gara or khora if you like her
So garas power up is just her doing the same thing but actually trying to be efficient this time 😆
How do stat sticks work again? 🤔 lol
The elemental damage on the kuva hammer WILL add damage but it has a low riven dispo. Only recommend if you don't have a riven
u got me bro funny face to like gara improve🤣🤣🤣
Should I be procing second ability splinter storm before breaking 4th ability to get the extra shards added to my splinter storm? I ask cause I'm wondering if I hit 2nd ability after breaking 4th ability will i get the extra shards added to splinter storm for extra damage still? Like I'm guessing I need to have my splinter storm proced and going before breaking 4th ability to get those extra shards and damage right?
no this is what you do
press 4 make sure your 2 is active break 4 using 1 and repeat
FCK this I still keep rolling outside by reflex. Lmao
