1:21 damn, thanks for the credit! Can confirm, that/my comment is the exact origin of the build. I actually discovered it the same day as the inaros rework, because I was testing sand kavats on every frame with a team buff to check interactions. I didn't share it immediately because I was worried about the interaction being nerfed.
As both proof and thanks, there's actually more to the build that I didn't share. Volt being squishy is a feature: if you die with active kavats and immediately rez, the kavats become permanent.
The issue is that it becomes very hard to die when there are twenty kavats running around at the speed of sound. There's a video on my channel named Unlimited Kavatworks where I do it in the simulacrum because infinite revives.
With the environmental damage in the new area though, it should actually be very easy to get that many kavats...
Thank feck I got the right person, lol. I searched the setup so much after I was told about it and wanted to give proper credit. Earliest i could find was that reddit thread. So thank you for this fun setup!
I know others have made amazing videos showing it off like Aznvision and the spaff society who also deserve credit for highlighting it.
But I wanted to check it with the new companion Aura and i love it.
The extra kavats are from dying right and existing ones bugging out?
I can't get it to work
Same. The cats won't self replicate.
Have you tested this setup with the Theorem arcanes? theorem contagion is probably way too slow to bother with, but theorem infection seems like it'd be worth slotting into this setup
@@TacticalPotato i cant even put the desecrate mod on volt how do i do that?
Pablo is intensely staring at my PC as I experiment with this build, he is now on my ceiling. Send help
don't worry, tactical Pablo doesn't exist, he can't hurt you

This is just a hypothesis but I feel like duplex bond works as a snapshot like roar for example. If your companions have a damage/strength buff the clones will have that as well when they’re spawned
I think this is testable in simulacrum. Put the buff you want to test on them, spaff an irrelevant ability right before the buff you want expires to spawn the clone, see if the clone is stronger than the basic. . . the specific requirements of testing will vary by the buff. I might do it and report back but I'm probably about to hit the hay.
This build is so wild because I literally remember the original comment and subsequent Aznvasions video selling this as 'hey here's a funny way to play Volt that has passive armor strip and CC while buffing your squadmates :)' and that was it, that was the whole deal. Then I broke it out in 1999 and said 'Huh, right, Summoner's Wrath is a V polarity like what Volt already has, might as well put that and Arcane Camisado in there' and suddenly I was noticing my sandcats dealing like a quarter of a million damage and leaving approximately equal electric procs behind, and I have no fucking idea what kind of math is going on now but I sure hope it's not a bug even though it kinda feels like it because this kinda rules.
Fair warning, after some testing it seems Inaros' augment is broken if you have 200+ms ping, so if you play squads and either you or your host has a dodgy connection no cats will spawn.
So this build is better enjoyed either solo or when you can guarantee youll be the host of the mission.
Was wondering why it was only working in testing for me, and not in real squad missions, thanks
@slaybutton1692 Hi, I just got back on warframe after a while and after trying to use this build I'm having an issue where desiccation refuses to do any of the things its supposed to do. No blind ever, no finishers ever, and no damage most of the time all while the enemy stares me down. I saw a forum post from mid 24 with no solution. Is this a similar issue to the one you mentioned or do you know another potential fix? I think it is probably different from the one you mentioned because I tried a friend only mission by myself and it seemed to persist even though I was definitely host.
Yknow, lore wise I think Amir would absolutely be a cat guy (unlike Quincy >_>)
As someone who's romancing Amir, he is a kubrow person because of how dog like he himself is, his words not mine lol
@@braven5430 DAMNIT AMIR!
I feel like quincy would have fish
Help the game is only giving me the option to date Aoi
For real though, why can I only choose to suck-up to her when I text her on the POM?
@@provaricus627you can get locked out of romances, I saw something about being able to reset that but the chemistry remains so you get a second chance. Take this with a grain of salt since the update is still rather new
Ah yes the glass lightning cats
Glass does happen when sand gets zapped with lightning.
Ooh heard you talking on stream about this, was curious to see how it works
There should be a quadrupedal kavat frame that summons more kavats.
Khora, Inaros?
What do you think Venari already is? She's the protagonist in all the material supposedly regarding her "master", Khora.
We need a Druid warframe
maybe a "pack" of animals all having been one, where you have a "humanoid" form with a set of 3 abilities and hold casts on them sending out animals to a direct target and activating a "passive" for all the animals with a 4th exalted with you turning to a animal with the ability to turn to the other animals on demand and swapping your main passive and the abilitys (so you have 4 animals one gives you a passive for when your not able to use its abilities and maybe effecting the warframe stats like hp shields speed energy max and some aura for some of them like equinox)
and then 3 others that you use has actives and 1 of the 3 gives you a less potent passive then if they where the "main" one and when using the exalted you can swap from each of them kinda like GTA or other games where you "swap" your character and vision
@@darkumineru1681 sounds a lot lime voryna
Shocking Speed seems to be the source of their damage. It has weird scaling with the Kavats for some reason.
From my limited testing I believe that the aura inherits Sand Kavat's melee damage. Sand Kavats deal impressive damage on their own (around 72k on unarmored targets), the aura activates off their melee attacks and inflicts forced electric proc off each Kavat around and you have 5 of them. Companions and their Duplex bond clones don't replicate this behaviour and I have no idea what stat Sand Kavats scale their damage because its not strength nor companion weapon damage or melee weapon mods. Big damage numbers come from ability damage color text so it has to be aura scaling in some weird way. I think AzvnationPlays investigated further into this.
@wailfulcrab Enemy level scaling maybe? Regardless, I hope DE won't patch this since it's the only way to make Shocking Speed actually do something useful.
@@dwenzybenzy. I tried to use telsa nevros with shocking speed it sucks lol.
@@wailfulcrab The damage might scale based on max hp like Inaro’s 4. Only my best guess, not tested.
@@adrianl8429 Scarab Swarm corrosive damage ticks scale of your max hp, not cat damage. It has to be standard specter level scaling like @dwenzybenzy says as they do the same damage on my Inaros as they do on Volt.
I think this is even funnier if you use a hound companion with diversified denial AND duplex bond, so you can bring seven of your own dogs to the party.
Funny thing about the new Aura or Arcane for summons. I do not know why, but it seems that if you are using these mods while you have a decent amount of summons, you can break your game. So far from my testing, if you are using these new things for summons it bricks performance of the game, slowly eating through your FPS and freezing the game until you are stuck at 1 FPS. And funny thing about it, it can happen to not only just you, but also people in your team can get randomly affected by you, effectively making anyone with a summon build potentially someone who can brick your game until you restart it or leave the squad. Now it does not occur if you are playing solo, or with one more person, but the more people in the squad, the easier it is to just kill your performance. Because of it I cant even enjoy playing all of these goofy summoner builds without be worried of not being able to finish my mission, since it happens like 90% of the time in public lobbies.
That'll be patched a month from now as a "script error" line item in some patch notes, no doubt...
Not had this issue at all so far.
They've already confirmed a memory leak here. Just dont do this in the Hollvania sets and you should at least be better off.
This happened today to me and it was very annoying
There is any arcane buffing summons? How IT is called?
For anyone wondering I took this build into Void Cascade lvl cap SP and well the cats still kill any enemy that DOESNT have overguard even though enemies are lvl 9999 so yeah it's viable
what arcon shards did you use
We need a nidus build with super buffed maggots type build lol
Bonus points if you bring helminth dog with strain set for maximum MAGGOTS.
Vay Hek would be proud. Look at all these MAGGOTS. HAHA!!!
Sadly the summoner mods and arcanes that were just added do not count on Nidus' maggots. It's dumb, because Nidus' maggots ARE a summon, and they ARE spawned from an ability. Like, they have a health pool and can be shot at and everything but no they just don't count. It's dumb.
@nauticalgaming2256 yeah I originally thought about nidus, it's literally apart of his ability to summon maggots, kinda crazy that the new mods do nothing for him. not even a damage boost
@@nauticalgaming2256 Hopefully it's an oversight and they'll fix it soon
He does use that aug well actually because of the vitality aug he has since the damage they do is based off of max HP. If a nidus with that set up did this WITH an amir doing this, it would be hella more busted.
Pretty sure there's also a hex overide I saw that adds 250% companion damage, for that extra meme overkill
Yea I seen it today AFTER making the video.
I have that, it turned the conculysts into actual damage machines
What’s the name of
@@WrongNumber76 I got it from Eleanor. I can't check the name right now but the description is clear on the flat 250% damage increase for companions
this is so smart it loops back to stupid , and back again to smart
Status-based CC frames and builds are NOT glass cannon; I can outsurvive some tank folks just because of the CC and chaos from companions alone. Okina is best for even more CC with cold and to trigger Arcane Ice Storm, in conjunction with corrosive+cold+shivering contagion Cedo/Galaxion, it makes you unable to die due to everything being frozen, aka replace Aegis with Ice Storm. Also, disarming hound with another bunch of statuses makes this even more OP.
Shards: 2x green for strip, 1 equilibrium (replaces the mod, you don't use abilities that often thanks to the Ice Storm duration), 2 free to your preference.
Would one tauforged green shard be gd or do I need to add another for full strip
Khora, with venari, dessications curse, and smeeta or adarza.... Crazy cat lady
The only issue is that it only spawns kavats if you are the host (or playing solo). Its a bug it happens with Inaros himself too… lemme know if someone finds a fix.
Super awesome build tho! So much fun.
07:02
LMFAO
That’s a powerful one, right there
Thoughts on the new Minion/Companion Aura? I'm loving it.
Im definetely using this on him!. im not a mnion guy meself but, think wouldda try this on khora for meme sake, just to have lots of kavats in play at once :D definetely this is me cup of tea so ye m8 these arcanes and aura are quite the thing to play round!, tx for the vid also
Best addition this update alongside the minion arcane imo
Really fun, but a bit limiting for several other minions which is annoying. Specifically mind controlled enemies from Nyx/Revenant/Xaku. And a lot of them need stat buffs as well.
Its absolutely nutters on Caliban and Nekros!
@@TacticalPotato i believe that the 75% dmg applies to the companion permanently for the mission and isnt counted as a buff, rather a base stat. this would also explain why it works on the clones
I loved the new Sand Kavats with Inaros when he was reworked and it made Dessication's Curse a mainstay in my Inaros build for both the additional cats in Scarab Swarm and being able to spawn them periodically with Dessication. But it's cool to see fun and decent interactions like this that really go to show just how goofy abilities can get when you combine them in certain ways.
Also, while you may be frail, it DOES offer a lot of crowd control while the cats are up so that plus speed should still be relatively comfortable.
I think what's happening is the swarm kavats are coded as specters so they scale their damage with enemy level
And that means they're scaling the damage from the augment
Considering you're doing finishers to get this all started, melee crescendo seems like a perfect fit, especially if you go for Focused Energy to get a bit more efficiency, that way your combo count doesn't have to recharge all the way every time, and you can keep the wicked high multiplier.
😂 another option would be epitaph prime with secondary fortifier arcane. You're not only priming for your animals to take advantage of that. But also adding some overguard as another shield gating opportunity. The new magnetic and radiation claws do not combine with kubrow flame claws, etc. I believe it's the radiation ones that have status or critical damage. You can also use three of the Mecha mods using Paris prime as a stat stick that will transfer status to the kubrow. I have a Riven to further escalate the status chance to 500%(over 300% to kubrow claws). Also the mech mod transfers damage from ABILITIES Adding critical delay with the Hunter mod should bring your critical chance up to allow for the critical multiplier on the kubrow. Thank you for the build seems like it's going to be a lot of fun to play with. Also vicious Bond spreads damage done by abilities(I don't know if it's the abilities of the kubrow or the Warframe abilities). Also if you're doing finishers then covert Bond will help keep sunika kubrow alive by making him invisible that enemies can't interrupt. I don't know if stealth multipliers are added to your kubro I haven't used this mod yet
Not sure what the Duplex Bond is doing exactly, but ive noticed that if my pet does, but im using enough energy to trigger Duplex Bond, 3 clones spawn in and run around wreaking havock. 😊
I love these meme builds. I'm hoping we get more wild auras, arcanes and mods. Maybe some goofy new augments too.
Threw on primed vigor and primed continuity instead of capacitance and overextended and coaction drift in exilus slot. Using nautilus with shield charger to help with gating with arcane aegis. Also two purple shards instead of green. Seems to be wrecking pretty well. Thanks to you and original creator. Started to build with Inaros rework and stopped. Lots of fun now with camisado and summoner's wrath. 😂
If you throw on the Assassin Posture on any of the kavats or kubro, any of them will hunt down Eximus with a nice 300% bonus overguard dmg
Yes! These type of shenanigans are some of the funnest part of warframe 😊
One way to figure out if the clones count as companions or not is to check if they trigger/are affected by other Bonds, like Vicious or Tandem. If their damage is buffed after you use a heavy attack with Tandem Bond equipped (assuming they spawned without the buff active) I'd say they count as companions.
I’ve just been using him with wrathful advance or reave. Reave and shocking speed is nuts because you can get it to about 6x the speed of Mach rush and you heal yourself and also just rip through everyone. It’s pretty expensive to use tho. I’ll go speed build 2 yellow shards for casting speed with low range and maxed out sprint (which increases reave to 52ms) and then my speed boost is like 3.20x which goes brings it (on paper at least) to almost 170ms. It’s so fkn insane.
Damage mod for range and strength and then use efficiency. Volt is so nuts when you use some helminth synergy.
I think Sancti Magistar's probably the best for this build, but if you wanted a stealth route, Dessication+Skiajati is a pretty strong combo. Could also add in a Huras and go full caster mode if you wanted, while staying invis and just letting the pets have all the aggro. Assassin's Posture on the pet claws to help take out those eximi, not sure if you mentioned that.
SO VERY HAPPY TO BE A VOLT MAIN, SOLO LEVELING BUILD GOES CRAZY WITH OKINA PRIME INCARNON
Nice one! Will try that out, thx.
I know the magistar is amazing but I just don’t get to play it because arca titron and sampotes exist and they are just way more satisfying to use.
This is the coolest synergy with helminth abilities I have ever seen!
Time to go get that Inaros quest done and get my kitty army going. I didn't even think about Volt's buffs on pets. Insane.
I do believe the reason the Kubrows and Kavats from Duplex Bond are gaining the benefit is because the mod affects the main Companion you have, which is being affected by the aura so the game creates a snapshot of your Kubrow's stats and uses that for the clone. I believe this also works for the Volt Shock Buff being applied as well as the Duplex Bond clones benefit from the electric damage if summoned after the Shock Buff was applied. Pretty sure this was why it was working, you're more than welcome to test it to verify.
To note this does mean it is working as intended, just the reason it works this way is to avoid double dipping; if it did affect duplex bonded clones then it would be a 75 and then another 75% damage increase.
Just FYI for anyone excited about this build. It is VERY buggy in game. If you are not host, the sand kavats do not spawn or act very dumb. Even though i see 5, they are no where to be found or staring at a wall. Also, I get HARD screen stutter every 5 -10 seconds on many maps. I am on high speed internet with a 4080 pc build... So, something is going on with this kit that causes freezes. I even got a duplex bond glitch on 1999 that gave me infinite energy and prevented duplex bond from triggering... Unless you are solo, i don't suggest this build until it is fixed. Very fun solo, though
Never knew about this , I run operator with umbra and moas (duplex bond), this is just more companions to have , definitely trying it
This is definitely interesting. I've been using the hound that gives electric procs on adds, combined with shocking speed and shock trooper. Added with roar. They go nuts. Still working on it and looking at throwing a melee with the electric melee arcane to add more lightning. My God of thunder build is shining. Lol
this build is making me lag so much when the sand kavats gets going lmao
I didn't even know this was a thing. I need it.
Great video, got volt prime on Sunday so defo gonna try this out, by the way what energy colours did you use for volt? I really like it and want it for my volt
DE better not touch this. It’s hilarious to see Volt with his velokitties. This is precisely what the game needed.
4:03 imo how it works is the companion gets buffed by the aura mod and the clones are copies of the buffed companion. But the clones aren't individually buffed by it otherwise they would be double dipping the mod and deal more damage than the original
Forgot to do an archon shard rundown as part of the build. Personally, i love Violet shards cause with 2 of those bad bois i dont have to put on equalibrium and the free mod slot can go to capacitance or shield gate without sacrificing str
If you're looking at using this on SP circuit Shock Trooper does not appear to be working in Duviri SP Circuit. And hasn't for a while.
Has anyone tried this on Wisp? Seems like she would be easier to mod, and her health motes should also buff the swarm kavat's damage and shock motes spread the scarab swarm.
6:11 I keep learning new things about this game, today it's that you can apparently name your configs with emotes (assuming I'm seeing that right)
Yes you can
Only on configs... :[
A fine addition to the collection.
You can put Melee Crescendo and use Vasarin for accumulating counter and survivability.
Could really use a build guide link to the setups you showcase, would be a nice thing to have in the description so I could work on building it
I need to see a similar build with Khora. Since she's our resident Cat Lady Frame
Now this is my kinda meme build this will be fun.
i mean you could just use shade prime or a kubrow huras to be invisible if you dont attack, to fix the survivability issues in the build
Just tried it, the build doesn't work in Face Off. The cats don't spawn :(
I do this, or something similar, with Wisp. Her motes replicate the electric procs from Stunning Speed.
Congrats, this is truly something new. I'm tired of seeing nourish slapped everywhere
Well, the aura reads that it buffs companions AND summons so the duplex copies should benefit either way ^^
I think now an ash build is due!!! Would love to try him again with the new mods
heres my guess, when you buff your pet and then it gets cloned, you'd then get a buff clone. So im assuming clones are exact replicates of whatever state your current pet is in. If pet is buffed, clone is buff too
My guess is that duplex bond snapshots companion damage the time of the spawn
You can do this with wisp to have fun lol
Fair warning, Dessicate Augment and Arcane Camisado are bugged to shit and will not work correctly if you use them together, with Summoner's Wrath, or if you aren't the host. Major disappointment.
@@FishAnvil Is it them used together that is bugged or each piece is broken?
Holy shit the kavat army erasing simulacrum is one of the funniest things I've ever seen
It's always a good day when you upload bud, Happy Christmas!
then imagine having a good wisp giving those wisp buffs to the whole group of cats. all the shocks!! 😆
When I go shopping for augments I feel like some shady dude trying to get a new hookup lol
"You just got to see what Im bout to try...."
Did a volt build the other day too if anyone would like to check it out he my fave frame, great video as always.
This might convince me to take off the 5 purple tauforged shards and play something other than a sniper build, congrats
well, i didn't spend two months manually grinding out an omega lotus kubrow for no reason... guess i've got a new build to try out
Wait... Ashes Blade storm clones count as summons 👀
It's very interesting and i can't wait till i get done with my second set of Cyte 09 for his Evade ability that gives a form of invisibility, healing, weak point bonus Smoke bombs are alright but i think Evade has more bonuses to take advantage of. Idk how well it will play out but experimenting is the best fun in Warframe.
I would probablt swap the shield augment for rolling guard as the biggest killer for me is status procs.
useing this build, i was sleeping n the Duplex mod its fun as heck. and with this volt you use so much enerrgy but get so much back its a non issue. i seening this kinda build I think it was a Danta build with the kat or nekros looked good too
Add a one of the splitting hounds to have 10 pets going crazy everywhere
Cephalon Vashka made a video using the sand kavats on Khora three months ago, and all of a sudden I’m seeing people make sand kavat builds because of the new aura
Because the new Aura buffs it.
@@TacticalPotato I did say that, yes. But, as far as I know, that’s where it started.
No it started 8 months ago when the setup was shared on reddit. Check the pinned comment.
Crazy vault with no shields and electricity everywhere, but who’s now a pet master. God help us.
Been rocking this for some months now
Have you popped the new Aura into your build?
Couldn’t you also theoretically use the same thing on nekros? Sand cats AND undead enemies?
...You have catta be kitten me.
Don;t underestimate the power of Hunter Recovery on any of these pet builds.
A build like this on khora would slap
Gonna craft another Volt Prime just to try this out!
Suggestion for survivability: use the [secondary fortifier] arcane on the grimoire with [xata’s invocation]. This will grant both overguard and energy regen so long as eximus spawn. Additionally, I think having the nautilus prime as the companion would be better so you can chain: group enemies, alt fire the grimoire, into a slam attack. Think theres still some room for improvement on the build, if nothing else there is definitely flexibility on this meme build 🤔
Have it on my dual toxocyst
Dagath should be able to Summon a kaithe to follow her and get the bonuses.
it COULD be that they made the clone not count so it dosnt 'double dip' implying the bond clone is an exact copy of your companion...so it snap shot the stats possibly? and if they DID count we wouldnt get the double dipping which would give them more power that DE knows they would never address.
2 things...
1) inspired music choice
2) 7:01 - am I missing something obvious but how did you get icons instead of text for your config names at the top?
This inspired me to try shock trooper on Caliban but sadly for some reasons his sentients can't get the electric status for some reason. Not sure why.
@@BlipNBlob nourish works i believe
@RSmeep13 Yeah, it does but I wanted it to be able to use a dot dmg type. So I'm a little sad in that regard.
Amir, my beloved ❤
I am sure this has been posted in here already somewhere but just in case a easy way to run this is with Huras Kubrow almost permanent invisibility pet mods contagious bond tenacious bond duplex bond tandem bond vicious bond. For volt archon stretch desiccations curse blind rage p continuity capacitance shock trooper shocking speed auger reach power drift arcane camisado and energize archon shards just 3 tauforged crimson other 2 are open. Stand back invisibility while everything thing gets shredded if you get hit smash ur 4
Hey I’m doing this but the procs are doing like 6 to 1k dmg du have any idea wat might be going wrong?
I never thought of inaros's helminth... I'm putting it on gyre
Idk what I'm doing wrong but it is so inconsistent if you're not doing solo... It's incredibly infuriating doing finishers on enemies and sand kavats don't spawn
How are the cats occasioanlly spawning on their own without finsihers? No matter what i do i cant seem to have them like self replicate
i dont think shock trooper does anything for the summons or the pets.. i cant seem to see any benefit in the simulacrum for either one
Yo - what are your thoughts on a Zaw with Secondary Fortifier and mixing Theorem Infection with a Resdiual Arcane? Im crafting the parts up to try this out tonight but wanted to get your take/input on it
How do you use an icon for naming your loadout?
In theory it sounds fun, but looking at the mods on that build it just looks like energy starvation at its finest.
Not with Archon stretch and equilibrium. I have zero energy issues. Its survivability that's more of an issue
@@TacticalPotato even then with capacitance and a couple casting speed shards it feels fine to me, even then the cats are such strong offense you hardly need defense lol
Y'all are sleeping on emergence dissipate ever since it got nerfed, that single arcane fixes the energy economy with SP amounts of spawn
@@TacticalPotato You're not wrong, I went ahead and tried the build. No real energy problems once everything gets in motion. I do have one question for you, or anyone that's done this build a bit, how do you keep those cats spawning? I had up to four at one point, but suddenly they're all just gone. I can keep one, or maybe even two around for a bit but seems like I'm hitting Dessication's Curse every time I see an enemy just to get a cat. Seems like the cats spreading Scarab Swarm would almost make them self perpetuating.
I cant believe Nidus maggot, Hydriod squidward and more doesnt count as minion :(
