Credit to chilX3467's comment on my previous video for the inspiration for this video! Also while Ember, Citrine, Saryn, even Gyre and Volt are generally great options for this strat, one combo that works incredibly well and is potentially underrated is Lavos! You essentially farm duration with his 3rd, while it's traveling, you follow it with your 2, and then cast your 4th, as soon as the animation is finished, you jump and slam, the amount of damage and the sheer crowd of number you'll see will surely blind your eyes, but ultimately you'll have the satisfaction of nuking the entire map along with the game install, and perhaps your graphics card and the entire OS!
Was building mine today and was pleasantly surprised to see it was 3 dots on the riven chart - perfect for slapping even more crit on it. I love my fragor prime, but this is a very worthy alternative. Big slams, enough that i had to turn down the energy color so i wouldnt go blind.
You can get similar results with an inital combo build if you runnit with lavos' valence fusion. In fact you just need to have electricity on it since if you charge valence heat the damge from the fire status will be weapon damage × 2, basically guaranted 3-5M fire damage procs.
I built the Tenet Exec because I wanted to experiment with the slam mechanic. It works, but heavy blade stances are stinky for me honestly. They don't have great multipliers (to make up for the higher base damage I guess), they don't have useful procs. The mobile attack combos are either too "leap-y" or just don't deal much damage, in both Tempo Royale and Cleaving Whirlwind. They have many slam attacks in them, but only a few work with the Tenet Exec! Rending Crane hitboxes are also bad. So you might as well just build the weapon for slam attacks only.. And what weapon type is exactly the slam master? Hammers! Sampotes is an hammer. Crushing Ruin is also a WAY better stance than the heavy sword stances. It also contains slams, a mobile combo that actually deals damage, combos from neutral that deal good damage, but unfortunately most hammers don't deal much slash damage. It's not that big of a deal considering that Afflictions is great with Electric and Heat. You can also change the IPS weight with a single Carnis mod as well. But it's not even an issue, because the heavy slams proc Blast (as many other weapons) and they should be multiplied by Afflictions too! Add Melee Elementalist and Faction damage, and the supposed lack of slash weight is actually not a problem. Impact does good damage to Grineer as well. The only problem with the Sampotes is the very low attack speed, which basically eats you another slot for attack speed in practice.

After watching this build I can say I'm something of a space enthusiast myself.

Would love to see a Soma Incarnon video from you!
Yes
You might get more mileage out of Seismic Wave versus Sacrificial Steel if you're outsourcing some crit to Arcane Avenger.
Oh wow, I always thought Seismic Wave is additive to Base Damage, but it is multiplicative.
That makes it so much better!
Man this build turns CO into an epic riven, lol
Hold on, I have an idea, roar! I'll wait for the roar/eclipse subsumed ember and this Sampotes thing.
