    Fun(?) Venari note: Venari is the only companion that comes with you to the Index (as of last I checked, which was prior to the most recent companion update), thus is a way of having fetch in the Index. This, along with pilfering strangledome, makes Khora great at picking up tons of Index points.

    This update allowed me to make a Khora build entirely around Venari as main damaging tool thank to Contagious Bond. Snare apply 5 forced slash procs on top of your modded elements, which is deadly. With Ensnare, Venari can nuke group with ease. And if you bring a Kubrow/Predasite with the Mecha set, you end up with Voruna at home: no need to seek the Mecha mark, Contagious Bond will find it for you. Venari become the fuse for a 30 meters status nuke.
    I run no subsume on Khora so I can command the whole thing at will. I don't even need Whipclaw and it's augment, it's only here to refresh Pack Leader. In survival, I can reach a comfy 120-140 kpm, and even 150-170 kpm when I try hard on a good map.
    I really love this new playstyle for Khora. No more Whipclaw spam mayhem. The only problem is with Strangledome, since Contagious Bond don't work on ragdolled enemies. So I only use it for emergencies.

      @Leon-eq6ei Based on DE's wording, you don't even have to unequip them. Just having it so your current active weapon is one that can't reload (i.e. melee) makes the buff reroll. The other two non-active weapons can be ones that reload or not.

    • @ovencake523
      @ovencake523 2 месяца назад +5

      so that means if you're affinity farming, using a melee only build would make charm more effective
      combine with naramon affinity spike for even more affinity
      so maybe a stealth exterminate with melee only could be faster than using AoE nuke weaponsv

    • @A_Game_Zone
      @A_Game_Zone 2 месяца назад

      ​@@TheKengineerI'd like to point out that modding claws for heat and then using contagious bond can play out in 2 completely opposite ways:
      1. If the first heat proc on enemy was landed by your kavat, then you can make use of heat inherit to put stronger base dmg heat procs from sources like furis incarnon or protea turrets, and it'll still proc contagious bond, if the final kill hit was a heat proc, not direct dmg (I posted a "hound nuke" vid on my channel for reference).
      2. But if the first heat proc was landed by any other source than your pet, then heat proc kills by your pet won't proc contagious bond.
      Just a reminder to always keep heat inherit in mind when modding for heat, cause it credits the kill to the source who casted the first proc (definitely is a result of DEvs trying to refresh its duration when stacked).

    You say 'don't build for dying' but honestly I find having a companion who can pick up my frame in the off chance it happens is very useful, especially on missions where death = failure. Can you tell I solo a lot in WF?

    • @AGrumpyPanda
      @AGrumpyPanda 2 месяца назад +17

      Kengi's videos are typically from a 'practically optimal' perspective, and from that perspective modding to not die in the first place is best. If you find yourself regularly dying despite modding to not die, then by all means grab something to pick up your frame, nothing wrong with that.

    • @cantoastro
      @cantoastro 2 месяца назад +6

      Personally I think "don't build for dying" is great advice for modding frames ("try spending fewer slots on defense and more on your abilities, which you can use proactively!") but less so when talking about a single mod slot on your companion.
      If you like having some insurance (and aren't super attached to your Vasca specifically), then know that Vulpaphylas are even better for self-res! The generic Vulpaphyla mod Martyr Symbiosis which them to die* (activating Devolution precepts) in your place and give a short invulnerability window with a small heal. With no cooldown! The only limit is they can't do it while they're already Devolved. So they can save your ass every 30 seconds, 4x as often as Vasca's hidden 120-second cooldown. But here's the kicker: Tek Assault's 60% chance to avoid lethal damage can save them from dying when they sacrifice themselves for you, leaving them ready to do it again a second later. 60% of the time it works every time!

    • @byrd3242
      @byrd3242 2 месяца назад +5

      agreed been exclusively taking my vasca to EDA for this reason exactly, obviously not dying is ideal but it's not like EDA gives you the choice to mod for whats best anyways. same reason I always run vazarin for EDA obviously it would be better if teammates didn't down but having an instant revive is nice. definitely feel like the vasca is slept on hard when it comes to a free revive and if you throw on pack leader which is normally useless and melee every now and then it will never die meaning you just get constant free revives.

      @DragonxFlutter 2 месяца назад

      They’re now a set of three mods that give always active effects instead of gambling on a minuscule chance to get a super quick buff that disappeared when you actually needed it. I honestly think reliability is better for the game than gambling (unless it’s a case like Koume, which is her entire gimmick, and can be completely ignored via use of Helminth).
      Loyal Retriever is 13% chance of both double resources and double credits (you _should_ have gotten this on login if you have a Smeeta, but you can get it from Master Teasonai for Plains Conservation tags).
      Prosperous Retriever rolls an 18% chance to double only Credits (you can trade Vallis Conservation tags to Biz for this one).
      Resourceful Retriever rolls an 18% chance to double only resources (this one is obtained by trading Drift Conservation tags to Son).
      Across all mods, the double chance is rolled on item pickup, you _cannot_ combine the mods on one companion, and Venari/Venari Prime _cannot_ be equipped with _any_ of the trio.

    Bell Ringer with Magnetic Struke doesn’t help with Eximus units iirc. Their Overguard makes them immune to knockdown which makes them immune to Magnetic Strike until the Overguard comes off, which is when the magnetic procs are already useless. Better off using Cull the Weak or increasing status chance to boost heat dmg. Or you can ignore claw mods and build magnetic but at that point, you’re better off with a Sunika Kubrow so that you’re not reliant on heat dmg to take down Eximus units.

    Personally, I'm not a fan of Link Fiber + Link Vitality combo. Many Warframes don't build armor or health, since shield gating and any other forms of invulnerability are more popular. This makes those mods give little, and it doesn't help in making Kavats survive when enemies start scaling. I feel like it's better to instead assume Kavat is gonna go down at one point, and mod for fast revives with Momentous Bond and Aerial Bond. The only survivability mod I'd use is Tek Assault, since it has no cooldown and only activates when Kavat would go down, so it has pretty good chance to extend the period between Kavats's deaths
