@@KFETID try it withphantasma alt fire >:) if you use it well, you can "detonate" the same projectile endlessly against the floor 10 times a second. you cant direct hit enemies toooo much (just enough for piercing navigator) but the explosion spam is soooo satisfying.
i tried it lmao thats a really funny synergy. probably not the most viable but definitely a fun meme build, maybe I'll see if the mandonel can make it bounce more.
If you want to try a different Ivara build, you can use Syam (with gas + electric + melee influence) and replace her 4th with Wrathful Advance. It gets consistent tier 5 ("red!!") crits and absolutely wipes the map with only one heavy attack wave that goes through all walls.
@@KFETID Also, I'm not sure if you know, but you can use amalgam barrel diffusion for the +60% dodge speed to move around in invisibility A LOT faster. Dispatch Overdrive also works well if you're willing to proc it. Keep up the chill vids.
Secondary Ennervate It functions strangely with navigator. You're able to stack up as much as you want, and then it'll apply to the next time you fire it. Get 300%, next shot snapshots it, and you can fly it around as long as you have energy
Cloak Arrow is the type of invis that is not interrupted by sound. Enemies will still home in on the sound, but they will not shoot because they did not see you. Very, incredibly, niche is using archguns or the 1999 rpg
Glad to see old builds getting rediscovered. The first part of the video was rough to watch mostly because well those aren't unpopular opinion Ivara's navigation is known to be her best ability, it's always the ability people play around if they want big numbers with Ivara and no one builds around Artemis bow for a long while now.
you'd think that but every time i encounter an ivara in mission thay're running a bow build. my soul dies a little every time a new player gets ivara, tries building around bow, says she's "too slow" and gives up on her... i've made the mistake of watching YT tierlists and the most recent one i watched from a pretty well known youtuber put her in c tier because navigator was "pretty much useless"
I just showed my friend who is an Ivara-enjoyer this build, and we're in their first mission on the build and another Ivara joins, running the same build. THEY'RE TAKING OVER
used to... :( also I wish there was at least one interception that was worth grinding but nowadays it's more a mission they throw into archon hunts and sorties to remind you that it's a mission that exists
if you guys don't have prime sure footed (PSF) use you can use one of those 3 options: 1. normal sure footed + power drift for 90% knockdown resist and 15% strength 2. sure footed + fortitude for 100% knockdown resist and 100% shield recharge speed 3. handspring for 160% knockdown recovery speed. you still get knocked down but instead of like 1 sec, it's around 0.4 seconds, which is way better but you still get knocked down kfetid i made an topaz shard once without playing yareli or mesa! it was for the blast proc = shield 5 effect, since for a short time, after they got introduced, that effect refreshed your shield gating. AND it worked of your sentinels blast procs, thus if you had a sentinel with 100% blast chance and high fire rate/ quick reloads you couldn't really die, but your screen was full of the shield breaking animation towards the end you said "the averrage warframe player doesn't know how to play ivara." here are my 5 cents to that comment. without wanting to sounds mean, the averrage warframe player doesn't know how to be "good" at this game. but that is the case for most video games, other kinds of games or anything really. people just do it for fun and not to be good at it. even me for excample, i like playing pool and darts even tho i don't know 90% of the pool rules and my throwing is... well let's say i don't even hit the board 20% of the time. this is also probably the reason why the torid incarnon is "the meta", or more like a very heavily used weapon. you don't have to hit weakpoints to charge it up, it charges up very fast, and in incarnon you don't really have to aim. and it is also pretty strong. before incarnons(and even now) the ignis wraith was one of the most used weapons, just because it was decent and you don't have to aim too. anyway, great video! i always like seeing new creators poping up in my feed
I remember when the blast shard worked for shield gating... RIP. Also yeah, I get what you mean. i don't exactly blame people for using the meta or not knowing how to play ivara. I mainly made the video to defend the reputation of my favorite frame. I also want to encourage people to branch out and try new weapons, strategies, mods, etc. i don't think my way is for everyone and i'm not demanding everyone play this way but the reason i dislike the torid is that i know there are at least a few people out there who would be having a lot more fun with the game trying to force a "bad" weapon to do something crazy that it by all means shouldn't be able to do, but someone told them something along the lines of "the new eximus system/overguard FORCES you to use the meta". there are so many weapons in the game and its a shame you rarely see anything other than the top 20 or so. I miss the feeling of loading into a mission and being like "what the hell is that guy doing with THAT weapon, I need that build." I personally think there could be an entire hidden meta we don't know about because not enough people are out there just testing random things. TY for tha comment friend, hope you stop by for the next one when its done!
A very great and informative video, and the animation in the beginning was really nice too! x3, I've already been using her with a Tenet Arca Plasmor when fishing and mining, where the dashwire is insanely useful, had no idea the Zenistar or Grimoire was this good too, so I'll definitely check those out now too!
Tbh alot of exalted weapons (not pseudo exalteds) need a overhaul and buffs, excalibur’s slash dash can deal more damage than exalted blade when modded correctly, Jade’s glory coming out with a base 15 crit chance in the year 2024 is crazy
Absolutely amazing video and great guide! Since you mentioned artemis bow being a clone of navigator, i want to pull out my nerd glasses and 🤓erm, aktshullay, ivara released a year before cernos prime. Cernos prime is the clone here, but i think the points you make about wanting artemis to be more unique still stand- especially because it does have a very good clone that is universally accessible. I do really hope to see more videos like this from you, this was a great listen and really high quality. The animations and drawings were well worth the effort to make the video unique from the average, boring, infodump, clickbait, word vomit, guide.
you aren't schizo i'm from the future to warn you of impending doom, any and all number sequences and patterns you see are not coincidence the government is putting computer viruses in your water
So good to see another ivara main. I have close to 2k hours and around 15% of my play time is on Ivara prime with normal ivara still being in the top 10 most used. I like your light rework idea, especially the navigator teleport. I think a noise arrow being turned into some sort of headshot magnetism arrow like what the scourge has on alternative fire It'd mesh nicely with the headshot multiplier from prowl When it comes to augments I just hate that the only thing that changes when I charge the concentrated arrow shot is projectile velocity... I wish the explosion range increased with charge! Keeping up with concentrated arrow. Internal bleeding exists which makes the guaranteed impact proc pretty nice. I believe the explosion deals the elemental DAMAGE of what you modded BUT it has 0% status chance which cannot be changed in ANY way. I gotta admit that I neglected navigator for all these years... I'll try it out. What I've been doing with Ivara lately has been dealing high DMG with weapons that usually don't. I got the Prisma grakata to deal around 1.5M damage per bullet... Currently rocking silence for max comfiness when running long void flood missions, silence turns off all enemy abilities which let's you keep snapshotted strength when facing that one acolyte that has silence lol. It also stops the thorax from doing that God awful dash they do. Quick tip, okina incarnon gives you 30% movement speed which is noticable in prowl. Ruvox gives you up to 55% movement speed (at 12x combo) as well as an extra jump which also means you get an extra mid air roll, let's you cover a lot of ground. I like pairing the huras kubrow with her The invis from the dog means that you can get the 30% strength from crepuscular without standing in a bubble which feels nice, it's also the only kubrow with high enough shields to get 60% fire rate from reinforced bond, also best claw stats. Very consistent Mecha set + contagious bond nuking, especially if you give the marked enemy a quick secondary encumber primary tap. If I remember more crap I'll be sure to share! And I hope you do the same lol
4:50 - Ability Strength improves your speed with Prowl. To the point where my sister's Ivara moves faster cloaked, then she does uncloaked. And if you have Strength boosts, she can get even faster yet. Just so you know.
Ivara is where damage is by game function not shown numbers on a stat screen. Kinda like an Ash's finisher build, they're still out there (I recognize y'all). I've wanted to do a personal rework of ash by abusing his passive and a melee.
I have specifically been very copium pilling myself for the grimoire with some other hyper specific builds out there that need you to have 15 specific things happen for it to work so this just by the virtue of being simple will make me use the Grimoire more and in general I like Ivara
Was looking for an ivara build that didn't just lycanth's hunt its way towards doing anything. I also really like the idea of Ivara turning into a drone pilot of sorts, having her own unique things she can do with projectile weapons. I would suggest testing the arca plasmor esque beam from the tenet agendus, though A you likely have and B I doubt it'd be that much different, though with warframe there's no way of knowing for sure. Oh, I just thought of testing spearguns. They're probably ass but the idea of cosplaying as a ferrox is frying me right now
I’ve tried spearguns, the unfortunate thing about them is that their projectile speed is too fast. Maybe if i tried rolling for a minus projectile speed riven but i have so many rivens to roll rn (i have riven mod addiction)
These builds do look neat, gonna go integrate this into my artemis bow lol. I like most of the rework ideas. Though instead of removing the spread on the bow I'd rather it just have a cool special interaction with navigator that groups the arrows. I do think she still needs a more consistent way to kill groups. One way would be to actually boost the damage when you charge the bow so individual arrows can do meaningful damage on a horizontal shot. The vertical quick shot already deletes single targets. Would play like a reverse kuva drakgoon
yeah the fact that charging the thing doesn't really help the DPS is ridiculous, i dream of a day where navigator and artemis bow can be super strong when used together or separate
great video... I love Ivara as a stealth frame and have been meaning to acctualy build her for acctual use as I currently only use her for spy missions and to have enemies leave me alone while doing open world activities. now there is a guy to goto for all you can eat Ivara info... thank you... also Iv encountered a bug very offten reacently with dashwire where I cant use other abilitys or the gear wheel on the dashwire getting off and on the dashwire again fixes it for like 5 seconds and then its back... is it just my Ivara that has that problem or do more people like yourself get this issue as well?
I love when I'm so elbow-deep in absolute fucking nonsense warframe videos I find some godless forbidden tech video with 12 likes and 100 views and just think to myself, "where the hell am I?"
I love ivara, i understand that artemis bow isn't the "best" of abilities, not bad either, but i can't just forget about it, it's part of who she is, it's like taking away excalibur's blade or valkyr's claws y'know, i even have a Eidolon huntress build to one shot eidolons with it :v, but yeah, navigator is broken
hopefully the bow gets buffed to work well with or without navigator. I like ivara as a warftame that can be built entirely around any single one of her abilities or have them work well in tandem so it really is unfortunate that an ability as cool as artemis bow is kind of falling behind.
I kinda cooked my own Ivara build when I saw the new invis damage arcane and spectral seration were in the game. It's not like fully competent or complete (I haven't maxed the arcane yet) or anything but just sitting on a dashwire shooting things with an artemis bow and one shotting basically anything that isn't a super high level extimus is pretty funny. I never considered I could use a weapon I can use navigator on though, I was just shotting things with Artemis bow lol. I should go back to the lab and see what I can do. Edit: As far as reworks go, I think what Ivara mainly needs is a modernization update. She got a lot of jank in her abilities and that can be cleanned up for her to generally be good. I think if she were modernized well enough she won't be *meta* but she'll be attractive enough to people that want her specific playstyle. None of her stuff needs to be removed, just tweeked and fixed so that it fits better into modern Warframe; Similar to what Nova and Nyx got. Here are a few examples: Dashwire: Clean up the code with it's detection, allowing easier use. Noise: Enemies go faster towards it. Noise has the very rare ability of completely breaking enemy AI, which is really handy in some niche scenarios (completely breaks Interception). its just a shame the enemies take 300 years to group up. Navigator: Allow Navigator projectiles to open doors. Also doing changes that give Ivara more variety in what weapons can be used with Navigator would be nice. Prowl: Allow more movement options in Prowl, bullet jumping maybe (as long as you aren't sprinting). Artemis Bow: Basically, the same change as any exalted weapon. Let it use primary arcanes and Argon Scope. Also just giving it a flat damage buff would probably do it wonders, tbh.
I used to run a stab Ivara back in the day. Covert Lethality along with a decent dagger and prowl means you can just murder an entire ship by one shotting them all. Provided you can target choose properly. Then they nerfed Covert Lethality. So now some people take two stabbies. I play an archer who ditched her bow and became an assassin. Hilarity ensued.
I literally build Ivara for high power strength so I can have normal movement in prowl. Hopping on a dashwire or going on any other wire though will sling me halfway across the map.
Been running a similar build as my main for a month or so -- Empowered quiver -> Navigator -> Nataruk (crit+gas proc). It's pretty fun. Since most hits leave a gas proc behind, it doesn't really matter if you can't hit them again. Don't have the archon segment crafted and didn't get the numbers this high though, capping out at around 30 mil without other buffs. No riven either. Been wanting to try it with Lanka too, since that also has infinite body pen. Seriously though... THE DOORS. I usually just place my dashwire right above a door so I can sit on it after I've had too many projectiles eaten.
i was considering trying to get a -projectile speed riv for the lanka to try it, planing on doing another ivara vid when i can more properly optimize certain weapons like that. but i can't currently bcz i'm doing another video and also kuva cap in steel essence shop (why tf is there even a cap god forbid we put in work and get rewarded)
@@KFETID Same actually, I did manage to roll a -projectile speed riven but it was so bad overall that I instantly rerolled it and now it's just crit chance :| Same thing with the iron wake shop, "cmon bruh lemme get more, I just rerolled this lanka riven 44 times" Looking forward to seeing more though, good video.
50% of ivara's kit makes you want to be really precise and aim for headshots to maximise damage and then her exalted weapon, the thing all other abilities are supposed to support or at least compliment, is a SHOTGUN BOW THAT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF PRECISE and it's not even a good shotgun, either
Quick advice about your first build, you can have a rank 4 fleeting expertise and streamline to reach 75% efficiency cap so you can reeplace narrow minded with primed continuity, presserving your range. found out while using your build, cheers mate been waiting for a new way to use Ivara ever since DE patched her quiver and molt augment bug. Also: you didn't mention you could shoot while evil orb
My choice of navigator projectile is the corufell, but im waiting for a week of a good tenet grigori. Death disk or the freakin sun? Oh and, one thing about nav is that, it force invis if your shot breaks ur 3. And because the multipliers scale inverse with duration (low dur => higher mult grow) so it fked me up quite alot when i just started modding her lol- i thought i needed more dur for efficient invis. Ahhh the choices Thanks for the informative video
Ah the problem with the grigori is that the projectile lifespan timer force deletes the projectile at the end, unlike the zenistar. it can work but inconsistent and you NEED a 12X combo before using.
Try xata + gunblades or verdilak Xata can double dip headshot multipliers and stealth multipliers, gunblades can use both stealth multi and headshot multi. Idk about headshot multi on verdilak, but i assume even if it is set to x1, prowl cam still make it work
Love navigator. But my stupid gay brain hasn't progressed past the foregone days of Warframe themes and every time I end up being disappointed by Artemis bow because I want the hunter to use a bow. Here is hoping the cyte-09 gun makes the devs remember ivara needs a tweaked exalted.
IKR??? nav will always be my favorite build but i like ivara as a frame that can be built in all of these different ways. i hope DE shows artemis bow some love
Charge shot has too high of projectile speed while AOE cannot recieve punch through. there is a possibility of it being decent with a -projectile speed riven but I have too many things to roll rn to test it. likely doesn't have enough punch through though.
noise arrow was good for 24 hour interceptions cause u gather enemies with it and keep them sleeping for the rest of the round and about that for another 100682316 rounds, but with new eximuses it's not viable anymore
invis arrow is still good for rescues and all that where u need keep vulnerable target safe, just hit it with invis arrow and go wherever u want sleep arrow still good for some riven unveiling aside of stealth affinity farm with finishers on exterminations, so i think only noise arrow is unusable as for today
yeah sleep and cloak are ok but i think they need a bit of QOL. sleep needs something to be set apart a bit from equinox rest (basically the same thing but better) and i think it'd be nice if you didn't need to actually aim and hit an ally with cloak and instead you could cast it and have it instantly effect allies in your crosshair.
Holy. Shit. Another Ivara main that doesn't use artemis bow. I can't believe I'm not alone. ...granted, I don't use navigator either, I just use a a vectis and lately the vesper and pretend to be solid snake while I use operator to zoom around the map, but that's an entirely different me-issue altogether.
no you don't know from the video, I'll give you this gift: if you put the bubble of the Mutalist quanta and pass the Zenistar disk through it it will get 300% electric dmg and separate proc. so you can have gas+cold+electric or corrosive+heat+electric on the Zenistar. even activating influence without putting electricity into the Zenistar
So I am MOSTLY gonna be the ivara guy but before I make more ivara vids there's another warframe who's name I want people to respect a lil more, so that'll be the next video. I have a lot of opinions on frames and builds from pre-2025 that i want to get out in video form but I want to know everything about ivara and be the person people go to when they need to learn something about her kit. expect a few non-ivara vids and then more ivara vids.
a guy in region chat blessed me with this information this is crazy
My soldiers are taking over
@@KFETID try it withphantasma alt fire >:) if you use it well, you can "detonate" the same projectile endlessly against the floor 10 times a second. you cant direct hit enemies toooo much (just enough for piercing navigator) but the explosion spam is soooo satisfying.
i tried it lmao thats a really funny synergy. probably not the most viable but definitely a fun meme build, maybe I'll see if the mandonel can make it bounce more.
ivara PNG-Tuber was not on my 2025 bingo card but its still pretty cool lmao
Holy shit, a first time animator being this good? The meme bests just hitting it right?
Can't wait for you to blow up like an Artemis Bow headshot
If you want to try a different Ivara build, you can use Syam (with gas + electric + melee influence) and replace her 4th with Wrathful Advance. It gets consistent tier 5 ("red!!") crits and absolutely wipes the map with only one heavy attack wave that goes through all walls.
I really like the syam so I'll definitely give it a go. wish it was more controllable in navigator tho
@@KFETID Also, I'm not sure if you know, but you can use amalgam barrel diffusion for the +60% dodge speed to move around in invisibility A LOT faster. Dispatch Overdrive also works well if you're willing to proc it.
Keep up the chill vids.
I forgot syam had a totally different heavy animation from other nikana. Most of them are incredibly frustrating to use with wrathful advance
RUclips algorithm has blessed me once again
Secondary Ennervate
It functions strangely with navigator. You're able to stack up as much as you want, and then it'll apply to the next time you fire it. Get 300%, next shot snapshots it, and you can fly it around as long as you have energy

working on another warframe vid currently :))) i thought warframe needed more of what i call "high effort content," so expect an animation every time
cute animations really makes me wish I was good with ivara, subbed and liked, thanks!
3:10 noise used to be broken on interception. It could permanently turn off enemy ai and you could semi-afk until you needed to clean up the enemies.
used to... :( also I wish there was at least one interception that was worth grinding but nowadays it's more a mission they throw into archon hunts and sorties to remind you that it's a mission that exists

without wanting to sounds mean, the averrage warframe player doesn't know how to be "good" at this game. but that is the case for most video games, other kinds of games or anything really. people just do it for fun and not to be good at it. even me for excample, i like playing pool and darts even tho i don't know 90% of the pool rules and my throwing is... well let's say i don't even hit the board 20% of the time.

Ivara going crazy as usual, shared it as a post :)
I'm going to make absolutely sure the people put respect on ivara's name
finally more Ivara content T^T
I don't even have Ivaria but i absolutely love this lmao, hope the best for you on your time on RUclips and I'd love to see more❤
So good to see another ivara main.

Keeping up with concentrated arrow. Internal bleeding exists which makes the guaranteed impact proc pretty nice.

Very consistent Mecha set + contagious bond nuking, especially if you give the marked enemy a quick secondary encumber primary tap.

Amazing drawing/animation/intonation
This seems awesome, ill definitely have to dust off my ivara and make a new grimoire
Cries in quiver stack being patched
DE please re add it, its perfectly balanced I swear :)))
6:54 Slap on Internal Bleeding and Rifle Elementalist.
That being said, her Artemis Bow does need a soft rework.
As someone who's never played Ivara yet, I find this very interesting.
Ivara is where damage is by game function not shown numbers on a stat screen. Kinda like an Ash's finisher build, they're still out there (I recognize y'all).
I've wanted to do a personal rework of ash by abusing his passive and a melee.
She's a Warframe that just does everything so well lol
Thank you, Tenno. I now know more about the Frog
Fashion wise, wish we could remove the head n skirt veils
i never thought i would see the day that grimoire was made even remotely good
dattebayo
Heat inherit is so wild, used moa with verglass + duplex bond and boom damage cap for no reason.
i never used ivara but that glaive + navigator reminds me of how fun was to use the glaive in darksector
I have specifically been very copium pilling myself for the grimoire with some other hyper specific builds out there that need you to have 15 specific things happen for it to work so this just by the virtue of being simple will make me use the Grimoire more and in general I like Ivara
Funny and informative vid, I understand why yt would recommend this one.
Just found this video, pretty good!
Im gonna use primary acuity on my yardstick-mag carmine penta and ball out using this information
ah yes now I can be a BFG 9000 projectile and decimate everything.
I have ivara prime in my foundry, i was sad with the lack of any build vids like at least a year, now it's time
Was looking for an ivara build that didn't just lycanth's hunt its way towards doing anything. I also really like the idea of Ivara turning into a drone pilot of sorts, having her own unique things she can do with projectile weapons. I would suggest testing the arca plasmor esque beam from the tenet agendus, though A you likely have and B I doubt it'd be that much different, though with warframe there's no way of knowing for sure.
Oh, I just thought of testing spearguns. They're probably ass but the idea of cosplaying as a ferrox is frying me right now
I’ve tried spearguns, the unfortunate thing about them is that their projectile speed is too fast. Maybe if i tried rolling for a minus projectile speed riven but i have so many rivens to roll rn (i have riven mod addiction)
I also love doing this with a zaw, it’s very fun
Good vod, big subscribe
The best way to use navigator is with the fishing bait. Been a few years but you could multiply its effect like you do with damage
These builds do look neat, gonna go integrate this into my artemis bow lol.
I like most of the rework ideas. Though instead of removing the spread on the bow I'd rather it just have a cool special interaction with navigator that groups the arrows. I do think she still needs a more consistent way to kill groups. One way would be to actually boost the damage when you charge the bow so individual arrows can do meaningful damage on a horizontal shot. The vertical quick shot already deletes single targets. Would play like a reverse kuva drakgoon
yeah the fact that charging the thing doesn't really help the DPS is ridiculous, i dream of a day where navigator and artemis bow can be super strong when used together or separate
great video... I love Ivara as a stealth frame and have been meaning to acctualy build her for acctual use as I currently only use her for spy missions and to have enemies leave me alone while doing open world activities. now there is a guy to goto for all you can eat Ivara info... thank you... also Iv encountered a bug very offten reacently with dashwire where I cant use other abilitys or the gear wheel on the dashwire getting off and on the dashwire again fixes it for like 5 seconds and then its back... is it just my Ivara that has that problem or do more people like yourself get this issue as well?
I don't think i've encountered that, i feel like some people have weird client side bugs like that.
Pyrocynical jumpscare
pyrocynical meta 2025
I love when I'm so elbow-deep in absolute fucking nonsense warframe videos I find some godless forbidden tech video with 12 likes and 100 views and just think to myself, "where the hell am I?"
you're where you NEED to be
Quivers invisibility is mainly used to be given to other frames as survivability with a sentinel on top of their big dumb round soft craniums
Perfect first vid
I love ivara, i understand that artemis bow isn't the "best" of abilities, not bad either, but i can't just forget about it, it's part of who she is, it's like taking away excalibur's blade or valkyr's claws y'know, i even have a Eidolon huntress build to one shot eidolons with it :v, but yeah, navigator is broken
hopefully the bow gets buffed to work well with or without navigator. I like ivara as a warftame that can be built entirely around any single one of her abilities or have them work well in tandem so it really is unfortunate that an ability as cool as artemis bow is kind of falling behind.
I kinda cooked my own Ivara build when I saw the new invis damage arcane and spectral seration were in the game. It's not like fully competent or complete (I haven't maxed the arcane yet) or anything but just sitting on a dashwire shooting things with an artemis bow and one shotting basically anything that isn't a super high level extimus is pretty funny.
I never considered I could use a weapon I can use navigator on though, I was just shotting things with Artemis bow lol. I should go back to the lab and see what I can do.
Edit: As far as reworks go, I think what Ivara mainly needs is a modernization update. She got a lot of jank in her abilities and that can be cleanned up for her to generally be good. I think if she were modernized well enough she won't be *meta* but she'll be attractive enough to people that want her specific playstyle. None of her stuff needs to be removed, just tweeked and fixed so that it fits better into modern Warframe; Similar to what Nova and Nyx got. Here are a few examples:
Dashwire: Clean up the code with it's detection, allowing easier use.
Noise: Enemies go faster towards it. Noise has the very rare ability of completely breaking enemy AI, which is really handy in some niche scenarios (completely breaks Interception). its just a shame the enemies take 300 years to group up.
Navigator: Allow Navigator projectiles to open doors. Also doing changes that give Ivara more variety in what weapons can be used with Navigator would be nice.
Prowl: Allow more movement options in Prowl, bullet jumping maybe (as long as you aren't sprinting).
Artemis Bow: Basically, the same change as any exalted weapon. Let it use primary arcanes and Argon Scope. Also just giving it a flat damage buff would probably do it wonders, tbh.
Might just have to build my Ivara now, maybe, mayhaps
I used to run a stab Ivara back in the day. Covert Lethality along with a decent dagger and prowl means you can just murder an entire ship by one shotting them all. Provided you can target choose properly. Then they nerfed Covert Lethality. So now some people take two stabbies.
I play an archer who ditched her bow and became an assassin. Hilarity ensued.
I literally build Ivara for high power strength so I can have normal movement in prowl. Hopping on a dashwire or going on any other wire though will sling me halfway across the map.
long ago i used to use cloak arrow to do solo defense arbitrations
Been running a similar build as my main for a month or so -- Empowered quiver -> Navigator -> Nataruk (crit+gas proc). It's pretty fun. Since most hits leave a gas proc behind, it doesn't really matter if you can't hit them again.
Don't have the archon segment crafted and didn't get the numbers this high though, capping out at around 30 mil without other buffs. No riven either. Been wanting to try it with Lanka too, since that also has infinite body pen.
Seriously though... THE DOORS. I usually just place my dashwire right above a door so I can sit on it after I've had too many projectiles eaten.
i was considering trying to get a -projectile speed riv for the lanka to try it, planing on doing another ivara vid when i can more properly optimize certain weapons like that. but i can't currently bcz i'm doing another video and also kuva cap in steel essence shop (why tf is there even a cap god forbid we put in work and get rewarded)
@@KFETID Same actually, I did manage to roll a -projectile speed riven but it was so bad overall that I instantly rerolled it and now it's just crit chance :|
Same thing with the iron wake shop, "cmon bruh lemme get more, I just rerolled this lanka riven 44 times"
Looking forward to seeing more though, good video.
I've found ivara status bow build does funny numbers
primary status chance shards go funny on exalted primary weapon
They honestly nerfed us Ivara mains so fucking hard in 1999 by fixing quiver stacking 😭
Like #99 .... This shit boutta pop off
(10y vet, didn't consider really going back to ivara till I got the prime but now ......)
50% of ivara's kit makes you want to be really precise and aim for headshots to maximise damage
and then her exalted weapon, the thing all other abilities are supposed to support or at least compliment, is a SHOTGUN BOW THAT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF PRECISE
and it's not even a good shotgun, either
This is a very EVIL VIDEO... This was awesome
Quick advice about your first build, you can have a rank 4 fleeting expertise and streamline to reach 75% efficiency cap so you can reeplace narrow minded with primed continuity, presserving your range. found out while using your build, cheers mate been waiting for a new way to use Ivara ever since DE patched her quiver and molt augment bug.
Also: you didn't mention you could shoot while evil orb
I want to like Navigator, but the camera is what turns me away from it. I'm not sure how to best describe it; stiff, I guess?
My choice of navigator projectile is the corufell, but im waiting for a week of a good tenet grigori. Death disk or the freakin sun?
Oh and, one thing about nav is that, it force invis if your shot breaks ur 3. And because the multipliers scale inverse with duration (low dur => higher mult grow) so it fked me up quite alot when i just started modding her lol- i thought i needed more dur for efficient invis. Ahhh the choices
Thanks for the informative video
Ah the problem with the grigori is that the projectile lifespan timer force deletes the projectile at the end, unlike the zenistar. it can work but inconsistent and you NEED a 12X combo before using.
Treasure trove of information
Try xata + gunblades or verdilak
Xata can double dip headshot multipliers and stealth multipliers, gunblades can use both stealth multi and headshot multi. Idk about headshot multi on verdilak, but i assume even if it is set to x1, prowl cam still make it work
thank you i hope ivara prime prices will go up i have 5 sets :)

I never use Artemis Bow. Why would I need it? I have Nataruk for that.
been playing with this guy for weeks idk how he looks at that shitty electricity effect for so long

7:21 - PREACH, BROTHER!
WE NEED EXALTED REWORK! IN FACT, LET'S ALSO REWORK PSEUDO-EXALTEDS!
crazy how in the year of our lord 2025 pseudo exalted weapons are straight up just BETTER than exalted weapons
@KFETID ikr
Incarnon effects, Arcanes, and aforementioned Acolyte mods.
I like using the Nataruk personally… been screwing around recently with Soma Prime too
Love navigator. But my stupid gay brain hasn't progressed past the foregone days of Warframe themes and every time I end up being disappointed by Artemis bow because I want the hunter to use a bow. Here is hoping the cyte-09 gun makes the devs remember ivara needs a tweaked exalted.
IKR??? nav will always be my favorite build but i like ivara as a frame that can be built in all of these different ways. i hope DE shows artemis bow some love
Fun video to watch even tho i don't really play ivara. Also since you didn't mention the weapon, i will as the question; What about Epitaph?
Charge shot has too high of projectile speed while AOE cannot recieve punch through. there is a possibility of it being decent with a -projectile speed riven but I have too many things to roll rn to test it. likely doesn't have enough punch through though.
noise arrow was good for 24 hour interceptions cause u gather enemies with it and keep them sleeping for the rest of the round and about that for another 100682316 rounds, but with new eximuses it's not viable anymore
invis arrow is still good for rescues and all that where u need keep vulnerable target safe, just hit it with invis arrow and go wherever u want
sleep arrow still good for some riven unveiling aside of stealth affinity farm with finishers on exterminations, so i think only noise arrow is unusable as for today
just figured out yt won't let me post screenshot links to show me what i mean
Also first time i've seen 32bit integer cap damage number was with nidus/chroma infused ivara with xoris back when deadlock protocol was released
yeah sleep and cloak are ok but i think they need a bit of QOL. sleep needs something to be set apart a bit from equinox rest (basically the same thing but better) and i think it'd be nice if you didn't need to actually aim and hit an ally with cloak and instead you could cast it and have it instantly effect allies in your crosshair.
Nice
Holy. Shit. Another Ivara main that doesn't use artemis bow. I can't believe I'm not alone.
...granted, I don't use navigator either, I just use a a vectis and lately the vesper and pretend to be solid snake while I use operator to zoom around the map, but that's an entirely different me-issue altogether.
I like burning my retinas out with fulmin + navigator
you're strong they should clone you
Tyl Regors gonna be after me like Belric and Rania
Wouldn't it be better to snapshot kullervos helminth onto zeni over empower
crit melee buff doesn't snapshot :(
Torid is like 19 1/2 metas ago tbh
do you know about the mutalist quanta?
no you don't know from the video, I'll give you this gift: if you put the bubble of the Mutalist quanta and pass the Zenistar disk through it it will get 300% electric dmg and separate proc. so you can have gas+cold+electric or corrosive+heat+electric on the Zenistar. even activating influence without putting electricity into the Zenistar
I am VERY interested, thank you for this. I'm gonna test that asap
Could ya drop that fart falcor build? That looks hilarious.
i'll probably drop a YT short on it tonight :) would do a community post but i need 500 subs first
Looking for an org of Warframe Masters?
Try using Artemis bow with Scourge , the Acuity mods , and a max range build thank me later 😉
So, are you a ivara main youtuber ?
Also do you know if the navigator projectile can hit within limbo's rift
I love "main warframe" RUclipsrs like sci-fi freak
So I am MOSTLY gonna be the ivara guy but before I make more ivara vids there's another warframe who's name I want people to respect a lil more, so that'll be the next video. I have a lot of opinions on frames and builds from pre-2025 that i want to get out in video form but I want to know everything about ivara and be the person people go to when they need to learn something about her kit. expect a few non-ivara vids and then more ivara vids.
this art is rancid keep it up
Молодец
maybe its time to dust off my ivara hmm
