Snakes are associated with real world alchemy, too. Their ability to shed their skin has been taken as a symbol of transformation and renewal in a lot of different cultures, as is the way their venom can be used to create antitoxin. And you can look at the serpent wrapped around the staff of Asclepius or the cobra headdress that symbolized a pharaoh's divinity in ancient Egypt to see other mystical or medicinal connotations. Not to mention the symbolism of the ourobouros, the snake that devours its own tail. Honestly, snakes would be my first pick for an animal to represent alchemy.
As a Lavos main, i had a lot of fun watching the video, and even learned some things i hadn't realised yet. Overall a very nice job, Nova! Truly, most people just dismiss Lavos and doesn't know his potential as a dmg frame. Now that being said, i think it's time to build some aditional copies of him. This gave me some fun build ideas.
I've always loved how Lavos plays. He's so much fun when you get that rotation figured out. Especially with the alt fire of Cedo mixed in. Just an absolute monster. I do wish he'd get some more skins though. Either official or tennogen. (actually I could say that thing about skins for a lot of frames that I really like.)
Lavos is one of the best new frames to be released (Mid 2022). I do love his kit & even more so with his signature weapon, I just wish Chroma got the same love...
The learning curves not that rough, I remember a dude picked him in the Steel Circuit once, said in chat he'd never used him, and by the end of 10 rounds was dominating lol. (And all I really told him was just to infuse Viral on every ability, then he one upped me by tipping me off that you could just hold the two elements to combine at once rather then doing one the other, tmyk, lol) His tankiness really shouldn't be undersold either. He won't hit the hyperbolic amounts of doublestack or triple stacking DR gates, but he can just chill in Archon Hunts or SP Kuva fortress or Copernicus pretty easily with an Arcane Grace and Adapation. With an occasional top off from his 1. Absolutely not caring about Energy also gives him a second arcane slot (which would usually be tapped for Energize or Steadfast) and he can pick up more silly damage from Madurai or go melee with Naramon. (You could argue Unairu for defense strip, but his ability to just dump status basically makes that unneeded unless you're facing status immune enemies (like the Plague Star Hemocyte) (I wouldn't really go for Arcane Blessing though, as Lavos only improves orbs, he doesn't make them. Though you can run with a companion to try and cover it) The Leverian does have odd contradictions in its lore though, such as Lavos being given his matter-rearranging power AFTER already being a Warframe. Outside of lore Reworks aside thats generally not how it works, and replications of the Warframe would be absent that additional power. With a hefty dose of unreliable narrator involved, it'd follow a more likely path that Lavos is Yavi and was converted into a Warframe, but the residual presence was able to affect his presentation. And the rest is just distorted myth.
I mainly picked blessing for more health (I was running mecha pulse alongside the full set) so I figured it be alright to slap on 2k+ health with over 1000% armor
Really been loving lavos since I got him a few weeks ago. Haven’t put in the heaviest investment just yet, but man is he fun and pretty comfy in higher level stuff, and a go-to pick when I do sp survival farms and such and feel like playing a caster. Great overview of him, A frame I’ve really been loving learning about, the fella really does feel unique
This was the first frame I used a Umbral Forma on. He's got a really fun learning curve and I enjoy how he feels like a "traditional" MMO character in terms of managing cooldowns and damage that he can put it out and his rotations for throwing abilities. Easily one of my top 3 frames in game super great job
As a LoL and FFXIV player (where rotation's and skill management matters) Lavos really clicked for me and immediately became my main. I couldnt understand why he wasnt used as much as other frames despite being very strong and after seeing this video now I understand why haha. Great work! This actually helped me become a better Lavos player
even without the Leverian, snakes have always made sense to me in context of an alchemist. Like far away in the woods an alchemist sits surrounded by nature. Having serpents seemed logical
I got Lavos just a couple days ago and it feels like I'm playing a whole new game - the power of the status system, using his abilities in different sequences, the skill ceiling - it's been a blast!
Here's a tip change your powers to invert in the option that way all you have to do is tap to pick your elements and hold to use your powers, it's actually faster to use.
I can just imagine someone going _"oh my God! Why does Lavos have snakes? He's not a serpent, iT mAKeS nO SEnSE. THerE tHeRe JuST tO lOoK cOOl..."_ the thing is that serpents are very relevant in Alchemy, the ouroboros being one of the more noteworthy symbols. The caduceus is another. Yes, I do study Alchemy. Lavos being an Alchemist is really cool.
Put a huras kubrow on him and he goes invis a long time, if invis break rolling guard/vazarin dash. I like to put sickening pulse on him and his 4 as gas and make the whole tileset goes stinky
Main reason I don't showcase builds is simply because people will start to skip to the timestamp a build is shown, its happened to other creators where they explain a frame and then show the build and talk about how it works, but people will click off the video after getting their build but then start complaining why the build isn't working as intended, even though said creator explain it clearly in the video. Plus it adds on unnecessary screen time on the vids as they are quite long anyways, if you do want my specific builds you can join my discord channel where I post them
Ohhhh boy I really love to use Lavos a lot on railjack and other small missions, wish I only need to understand him more becaus I inow cooldowns are a thing for him, its just its really annoying to get the specific element
The whole snake thing also probably stems from the fact that snakes are also a symbol of healing in ancient Greece and even to this day it is depicted in most pharmacies, tied to Asclepius the god of medicine, the snakes venom combined with other ingredients produces an antidote which also makes them tied to the whole healing of lavos in his lore
fun fact: i personally take full credit for Lavos' ability design (i mean it jokingly but still a little seriously). On the forum post publicly requesting ideas for the frame that would become Xaku, i submitted a suggestion for a weather-based warframe, who could do a different element with each ability and combine them into the tier 2 elements. I forgot if it was on my PC or PS account that i posted on the forum post with, but i don't wanna self promo or anything in someone else's video. i could find the exact comment and link it if i was asked to, though, i'm certain.
Lavos is almost unkillable if played right. He's so strong too. Some people don't get him. But I think he's awesome. He can handle any nightmare mode easily. A guy in my clan argued me down saying Lavos was utter garbage. Even did the, "yeah, ok bro 🤔" when i explained to him just how good he actually is. Yeah, theres a learning curve. But its not hard.
I stopped playing Warframe about 3yrs ago because i got a pc and dont wanna restart so im waiting for cross progress but when i did play Lavos was like in my top 3 frames. having a rotation is different from most frames and made him feel more like a MMORPG character
As lavos-main from first days of orphix venom. I just wanna to add some details 1 - elemental imbuement DOUBLE damage from ability (imbuement it's just 100% xata's whisper with selected status for ur ability) 2 - bonus armor from rank up - it's not a base. For armor mods lavos still has 450 armor, so no, it doesn't have highest armor, but yeah, with unairu bonus armor u can forget 'bout armor mods 3 - WHY ALL BUILD HIM TO TANK, MAN U HAVE CC IN ALL ABILITIES (oph. bite with trans. probe have open to finisher aka stun, vial rush have aoe cold status, catalyze have heat status which causes panic animation) 4 - IMBUEMENT STATUS MUST RESET, in other cases u need to drop imbuement then selected next - cringe, lower ur ability spam possibilty (cuz imbuement takes half a second, rly long time) 5 - u can start imbue 1 element, and press another in any time, u got combined element with timing of first imbue 6 - bullet jump up, then, in fastet manner use vial rush, u will travel more distance with rush, & your flasks will fly further and wider 7 - probe have travel speed, catalyze too, but slower, so with some distance u can press probe+catalyze in fastest manner, andm magically u have both aspects from probe - statuses & cooldown reduction for catalyze 8 - Catalyze have 2^[number of unique elemental status] damage multiplier, in case that mean extra status can exchange x2 ability strength, SO u can player better and have lower strength with same amount of DPS 9 - u can 3-1-2-1 combo, cuz in a tight group of mobs (or if u have 4-5 enemy) probe doesn't low cooldown to 3-1-1, so u will fill pause with vial rush & extra statuses 10 - 4-1 + 3-1, maybe easiest combo when u don't have enough enemies or lifetime of mobs (for example in elite onslaught), &u can recombine this combo to 3-1+4-1, and add some second ability to more damage 11 - U can instantly cancel vial rush just with jump. U can cancel vial rush with empty jump storage with bullet jump (i mean double jump-2-bullet jump, this combo can cancel vial rush without any momentum, or u can make vial jump(see 6 paragraph) & stop themself midair (btw i have clip about it on my channel) 12 - Momentous bond stacks infinitely, i already wrote about this to some RUclipsrs in DM, but yeah, ur pet can apply all elemental status if u kill enough eximus. Works awesome with manifold bond + synergized prospect (hound mod) 13 - I HATE CEDO, THE MOST HORRIBLE PRIMER FOR LAVOS. WHY? IT CAN DEAL FOR EXAMPLE 40 STACKS OF TOXIN STATUS. CUZ GLAIVE JUST HAVE ALL BASE ELEMENTAL TO PROCS, TRADING IT WITH MORE USEFUL EFFECTS. And yes, the glaive is the most unpredictable shit - it can stuck in one place for WHOLE MISSION or just fly away from mobs to ur face when status immunity falls down 14 - Also lavos have synergy with panzer vulpaphyla - just apply viral status to group of enemies before she does it, kill this group with viral catalyze and see spores on every enemy in ur room (with hunter recovery u can tank steel path without tanky mods like hp, armor & adapation. Glass canon tank) 15 - lavos need archon vitality + archon continuity, cuz it rly helps him. Btw i have unranked archon vitality in build & yeah, it just adds 1 heat stack to catalyze (so catalyze with heat imbuement just deal 3 stacks, instead of 4. So lavos can't have 100% base damage from ult to heat, but heat inherit still exist, so lavos can easy kill 9999 demolyst on disruption, just make sure you have armor strip with you SO, in my opinion lavos need imbuement synergy with helminth, OR & BETTER - armor strip in his kit, maybe augment for catalyze which will reduce armor by 10% for each status without influence of strength mods. and maybe i need to record own full guide for lavos
As a newbie at only MR 7, I really have no idea what a lot of what you are talking about in your Lavos guide, but Lavos does sound very cool. Is he better than Chroma??
I absolutely love Lavos, ive always loved alchemy so when he was revealed i was hyped. Also using him to just hit the dmg ceiling is so entertaining. But could someone please tell how u where able to get that gorgeous galaxy slosh in your helmet pleaaase??
MY BOY! I have mained Lavos since his released and I have never regretted it, he’s so fun. An active, interesting, adaptable kit enabling multiple fun play styles and of course, Big Number(tm) is always fun! P.s. If anyone has him with a decent build and wants a bit of a boost to his damage and tankiness try using Molt Augmented, Arcane Blessing and Growing power (Gives a huge boost to survivability and you’ll essentially be gaining perma str buffs). Also 1 single Tau Amber Archon shard should be enough boost to his cast speed, otherwise feel free to stack health or str shards on him, very fun! :D And for my final sendoff I just wish to say this: Screw Stat-immune enemies…
My biggest gripe with Lavos (and Chroma too) is that, outside of a full catalyze rotation, none of abilities do anything substantial. They feel like they do an elemental proc first and then something extra. But WF isn't like a game like D2 where elemental effects are more substantial; most of them aren't really good outside of dmg or some utility, which I feel limits Lavos' ability loops, even if his 4 kills anything through armor. Chroma is like this too and it translates to him using only ice ward and vex armor.
I feel like he should've also gone into elemental weaknesses and resistances for each enemy type, since knowing them has a pretty big impact on using his abilities. For example, cloned flesh (AKA Grineer health) has a 50% damage reduction from gas, so you're better off just using heat, which has a 25% damage increase. 27:23 - No viral against Grineer is pretty sad, honestly.
I never learned how to manage the cooldowns and what elements to use on what abilities and also how to do it all fast , since uou have to hold the buttons. I just gave up on that, which is kind of a shame coz i do like the theme. Also, great fashion you got there. I had trouble colouring him.
The snake isnt too far fetched considering the rod of asclepius has been the symbol of scientific medicine, something the "alchemists" of the past were known for. Household remedies of sorts.
Lavos is an extremely close second to me as a 'main' its just so insane how much survivability and AOE you can get. While its not a huge area, the heat procs at the hundreds of thousands are all I need to see. The ability to enable ammo-dependent weapons is just icing on the cake
Mecha Lavos is my second most fave Mecha build (first being Hildryn, third being Citrine). Really fun to play, though tiresome due to imbues. Hoping for some QoL in this regard. And I'm glad to see to not be the only one preferring to run without negative efficiency :>
Best QoL they could give him would be a vial in his arsenal akin to the mandachord, in which you pre-allocate elements to abilities in a way you'd normally use them, or set them up in different ways to swap between configs for each faction. Forgo the clunkiness in missions.
The idea that without the Laverian stuff the snakes would be "random" on the alchemist Warframe is insane, but I understand if Lavos being a Warframe depiction of Hermes Trismegistus is something you missed.
Layvos? Why Layvos? Even the videos say it like "lava".. why DO people spend extra energy to say things wrong? Ah well.. I can only take so many weirdly pronounced names. Night.
@@Still_not_saying Don't mention it, im just being honest. I learned English by myself so I often have to self policy when it comes to names like this so I don't end up saying it wrong too, so there's that

Which means he can use archguns forever, very fun.

@@CandysChannelImma be real, chroma is just not there. You're better off using chroma as a credit farmer
Was a Lavos main back when it was new, but i usually roll mains when i got a new nice build going... love this frame so much...

I got Lavos just a couple days ago and it feels like I'm playing a whole new game - the power of the status system, using his abilities in different sequences, the skill ceiling - it's been a blast!
Here's a tip change your powers to invert in the option that way all you have to do is tap to pick your elements and hold to use your powers, it's actually faster to use.
You can hold two buttons at the same time.
I came here to suggest exactly this. It should honestly be like this by default, it's so much faster and feels a lot better.
Lah-vose
Keep mind that snakes are also symbolic of alchemy itself.
Lavos is honestly my favorite Frame, I cant wait for him to see more cosmetics for him
I can just imagine someone going _"oh my God! Why does Lavos have snakes? He's not a serpent, iT mAKeS nO SEnSE. THerE tHeRe JuST tO lOoK cOOl..."_ the thing is that serpents are very relevant in Alchemy, the ouroboros being one of the more noteworthy symbols. The caduceus is another.
Yes, I do study Alchemy. Lavos being an Alchemist is really cool.
kinda a bit sad that this was missed while researching for this script
Probably a hot take, but my favorite part of your videos are the lore bits.
Can’t wait for when you cover citrine, I can already imagine the title 😂

Dude, you sound like booko from adventure times enchiridion lol. Love it awesome content.
The archon mods make Lavos builds get real funny.

Awesome video. Ty for your hard work to make this video
Lavos is one of the most underrated Warframes in the game. Also, 25:20 Chef's kiss
Put a huras kubrow on him and he goes invis a long time, if invis break rolling guard/vazarin dash. I like to put sickening pulse on him and his 4 as gas and make the whole tileset goes stinky
Another good subsume to use on Lavos is Tempest Barrage w/ the Viral Tempest augment, something illegal can be done there
Lavos , a man of element

As a chemistry major, I was obligated to make this my main.
New drinking game discovered, take a shot everytime he says Layvoes instead of Lavos.
Let him cook.
-Lavos
I stopped playing Warframe about 3yrs ago because i got a pc and dont wanna restart so im waiting for cross progress but when i did play Lavos was like in my top 3 frames. having a rotation is different from most frames and made him feel more like a MMORPG character
As lavos-main from first days of orphix venom. I just wanna to add some details
1 - elemental imbuement DOUBLE damage from ability (imbuement it's just 100% xata's whisper with selected status for ur ability)
2 - bonus armor from rank up - it's not a base. For armor mods lavos still has 450 armor, so no, it doesn't have highest armor, but yeah, with unairu bonus armor u can forget 'bout armor mods
3 - WHY ALL BUILD HIM TO TANK, MAN U HAVE CC IN ALL ABILITIES (oph. bite with trans. probe have open to finisher aka stun, vial rush have aoe cold status, catalyze have heat status which causes panic animation)
4 - IMBUEMENT STATUS MUST RESET, in other cases u need to drop imbuement then selected next - cringe, lower ur ability spam possibilty (cuz imbuement takes half a second, rly long time)
5 - u can start imbue 1 element, and press another in any time, u got combined element with timing of first imbue
6 - bullet jump up, then, in fastet manner use vial rush, u will travel more distance with rush, & your flasks will fly further and wider
7 - probe have travel speed, catalyze too, but slower, so with some distance u can press probe+catalyze in fastest manner, andm magically u have both aspects from probe - statuses & cooldown reduction for catalyze
8 - Catalyze have 2^[number of unique elemental status] damage multiplier, in case that mean extra status can exchange x2 ability strength, SO u can player better and have lower strength with same amount of DPS
9 - u can 3-1-2-1 combo, cuz in a tight group of mobs (or if u have 4-5 enemy) probe doesn't low cooldown to 3-1-1, so u will fill pause with vial rush & extra statuses
10 - 4-1 + 3-1, maybe easiest combo when u don't have enough enemies or lifetime of mobs (for example in elite onslaught), &u can recombine this combo to 3-1+4-1, and add some second ability to more damage
11 - U can instantly cancel vial rush just with jump. U can cancel vial rush with empty jump storage with bullet jump (i mean double jump-2-bullet jump, this combo can cancel vial rush without any momentum, or u can make vial jump(see 6 paragraph) & stop themself midair (btw i have clip about it on my channel)
12 - Momentous bond stacks infinitely, i already wrote about this to some RUclipsrs in DM, but yeah, ur pet can apply all elemental status if u kill enough eximus. Works awesome with manifold bond + synergized prospect (hound mod)
13 - I HATE CEDO, THE MOST HORRIBLE PRIMER FOR LAVOS. WHY? IT CAN DEAL FOR EXAMPLE 40 STACKS OF TOXIN STATUS. CUZ GLAIVE JUST HAVE ALL BASE ELEMENTAL TO PROCS, TRADING IT WITH MORE USEFUL EFFECTS. And yes, the glaive is the most unpredictable shit - it can stuck in one place for WHOLE MISSION or just fly away from mobs to ur face when status immunity falls down
14 - Also lavos have synergy with panzer vulpaphyla - just apply viral status to group of enemies before she does it, kill this group with viral catalyze and see spores on every enemy in ur room (with hunter recovery u can tank steel path without tanky mods like hp, armor & adapation. Glass canon tank)
15 - lavos need archon vitality + archon continuity, cuz it rly helps him. Btw i have unranked archon vitality in build & yeah, it just adds 1 heat stack to catalyze (so catalyze with heat imbuement just deal 3 stacks, instead of 4. So lavos can't have 100% base damage from ult to heat, but heat inherit still exist, so lavos can easy kill 9999 demolyst on disruption, just make sure you have armor strip with you
SO, in my opinion lavos need imbuement synergy with helminth, OR & BETTER - armor strip in his kit, maybe augment for catalyze which will reduce armor by 10% for each status without influence of strength mods.
and maybe i need to record own full guide for lavos
Make the guildes bro more people should know about Lavos
As a newbie at only MR 7, I really have no idea what a lot of what you are talking about in your Lavos guide, but Lavos does sound very cool. Is he better than Chroma??

And for my final sendoff I just wish to say this: Screw Stat-immune enemies…
I'd love to see a gara or titania video some day :3
My biggest gripe with Lavos (and Chroma too) is that, outside of a full catalyze rotation, none of abilities do anything substantial. They feel like they do an elemental proc first and then something extra. But WF isn't like a game like D2 where elemental effects are more substantial; most of them aren't really good outside of dmg or some utility, which I feel limits Lavos' ability loops, even if his 4 kills anything through armor. Chroma is like this too and it translates to him using only ice ward and vex armor.
Toxin ward is also pretty nice for the reload speed buff if you feel like you already have enough survivability
lay vous?
Also fun fact while his 3 is traveling u can stop it by press it again
I am just waiting for the lavos and cedo prime, i already have my riven
I feel like he should've also gone into elemental weaknesses and resistances for each enemy type, since knowing them has a pretty big impact on using his abilities. For example, cloned flesh (AKA Grineer health) has a 50% damage reduction from gas, so you're better off just using heat, which has a 25% damage increase. 27:23 - No viral against Grineer is pretty sad, honestly.
Though, perhaps not everyone would like to memorise numbers, like me.
Lavos mains let's goo
I never learned how to manage the cooldowns and what elements to use on what abilities and also how to do it all fast , since uou have to hold the buttons. I just gave up on that, which is kind of a shame coz i do like the theme.
Also, great fashion you got there. I had trouble colouring him.
Can’t you invert the buttons?
you could've used "transmuted" instead of "alchemized" but it still works (I didn't know 'Alchemize' was even a word lol)
now with the new bond mods. its even crasier
Nah I figured him out in 5 mins in duviri through trial an error.
GIVE ME MORE COMPLEX FRAMES
Love the va11hallA music haha
The snake isnt too far fetched considering the rod of asclepius has been the symbol of scientific medicine, something the "alchemists" of the past were known for. Household remedies of sorts.
Lavos would be a 100 times better if DE made it so the elemental imbuement was permanent instead of having to do it for every cast
it is rather tedious and annoying
The Chroma treatment would've been fine; hell, even something akin to Equinox could've been more useful and less tedious.
love the music
You should do your fashion frames on your second channel
Now does Catalyze’s dmg boost work with: Slash, Impact, etc. to give it more damage so would Glaive prime or other physical proc weapons?
8:27
*UNFORTUNATELY*
am i in like a time loop here or did you explain all his abilities two separate times
It's,,, it's pronounced Lah-vos, not Lay-vos.
How did you get those wallpapers?
wait you say Lavos, like Lay-vos? and not like La-vos?
My baby
When will be Lavos Prime?
Gauss should be this Christmas
Protea next year then xaku and then lavos if de doesn't change things
@@noahedenborg4221thank for you that. I’ve been wondering myself
What's wrong with the Mecha set? I am a returning player, so I am way out of the loop.
Share your build
hey mayb u could keep the warframe,weapone, nd game video guides to lik 5-13 depending on wat ur tlkin about
Grendel
25:35 helminth charger CAN'T use mecha mods
i main infested loadout(nidus, charger, etc)
Crap I should have double checked in game, thank you for correcting it
@@NovaUmbral i was complaining about it in the forums the other day about this specific topic xD
i have how you pronounce it LAYVOS when its LARVOS
!
fr
1 min gang
as a yareli main, i did not enjoy this, yareli prime when?
the titles get worse everytime🤣
why cant you pronounce things correctly
you need to stop letting chatgpt loose on your titles and the words in your thumbnails
lavos, not layvos ffs
Lavos is an extremely close second to me as a 'main' its just so insane how much survivability and AOE you can get. While its not a huge area, the heat procs at the hundreds of thousands are all I need to see. The ability to enable ammo-dependent weapons is just icing on the cake
Mecha Lavos is my second most fave Mecha build (first being Hildryn, third being Citrine). Really fun to play, though tiresome due to imbues. Hoping for some QoL in this regard. And I'm glad to see to not be the only one preferring to run without negative efficiency :>
Best QoL they could give him would be a vial in his arsenal akin to the mandachord, in which you pre-allocate elements to abilities in a way you'd normally use them, or set them up in different ways to swap between configs for each faction. Forgo the clunkiness in missions.
@@WaWestie oh yeah that sounds good. I think this is pretty much the reason why many people don’t give him a shot.
The idea that without the Laverian stuff the snakes would be "random" on the alchemist Warframe is insane, but I understand if Lavos being a Warframe depiction of Hermes Trismegistus is something you missed.
Layvos? Why Layvos?
Even the videos say it like "lava".. why DO people spend extra energy to say things wrong?
Ah well.. I can only take so many weirdly pronounced names. Night.
The Lay-vos was killin me. Dont most people say Lah-vos
Because his name really is pronounced “Lah-vos”. This guy just outright says it wrong
You could just, you know, not care about the way he says it.
@RealCorruptedVor you could not care about his comment but yet you commented too so 🤷♂️
@@Giffsen, I was going to say the same thing earlier, but it didn’t link it. Thank you for coming to my aid
@@Still_not_saying Don't mention it, im just being honest. I learned English by myself so I often have to self policy when it comes to names like this so I don't end up saying it wrong too, so there's that
Are you saying lavos has mastered all 4 elements?
Lavos needs more love a prime or even a deluxe, i feel like DE just forgot about the boi
