ARCHERY KINGS - VIRULENT STRANGLE & BURST - BIFORMA

Each arrow spawns a swarm of sticky appendages on impact. These tongue-like probes latch onto nearby unfortunates and drag them close before bursting into a mess of diseased goo.

ARCHERY KINGS - VIRULENT STRANGLE & BURST - BIFORMA

Just a work in progress build yet powerful as fuck. Faithful to its own name it does exactly what it says.

Full Viral, it strangles the enemy by the wire of thorns and ends with an explosion that kills everybody around.

The build itself right now, with just 2 Forma, is quite versatile as it is. A fully ranked [Infected Clip] grants higher Average Hit and Burst DPS at the cost of a minor Sustained DPS, which would be an advantage if we could add [Firestorm] to increase the area of damage by the final explosion.
On the other hand, a fully ranked [Vile Acceleration] increase the Sustained DPS at the cost of some Burst DPS and, most of all Total Damage and Average Hit. That can be balanced if we have a Rank 4 [Infected Clip] and a Rank 2 [Vile Acceleration], which allows us to stay with 2 Forma till we can install a 3rd.

I love archery and bows remain my favourite weapons {together with all glaives and other thrown weapons, as much as weapons using bolts like [Ballistica]} and after having collected almost all of them I can tell this new entry is definitely the best of them all, the most gratifying for sure.

I used it with Ash but suits even Khora and Nidus perfectly.

  • Ash because he can go around and find the best spot to shot the enemies almost without being touched.
  • [Khora] because reminds a lot about her 2nd ability Ensnare and I like the fact she can alternate ability and weapon, balancing Energy and Ammo, especially if we equipped mods or have installed Arcanas that allow us to recharge energy or reload the weapons by time and equipping.
  • [Nidus], for so obvious reasons I guess I don't need to explain, right?

I wish I had a Riven to allow me to save some slot and make the weapon even more devastating {[Firestorm], for taking even more advantage of Radial Damage, remains my 1st thought}.

Thanks for this amazing weapon, DE. please do not nerf it. Please!!!
