[COMPLETE GUIDE] > THE BEST MESA < | 150+ LVL

WELCOME to my guide, Tenno! This is, in my opinion, the best [Mesa Prime] build you could get. If you are a veteran, there is no need to read further, since the guide will be focused towards newcomers to Mesa, but if you want to know how Mesa works and why build it like that, please read the guide thoroughly!


FEATURES:

  • Really good damage, enough to nuke level 150+ enemies with ease.

  • Good survivability, you wont be embarrassed by dying constantly in higher level areas or high risk index runs.

  • Great energy efficiency, abilities cost almost nothing, while Peacemaker (ultimate) drains least amount of energy possible.


CHOICES:

  • If you feel that you need more duration on your first and second abilities, you can swap out ADAPTATION for rank 8 PRIMED CONTINUITY, but know that the mod polarity slot is different and it wont reduce the cost of your Peacemaker any further. On top of that, it would drastically reduce your survivability.

  • While ARCANE VELOCITY is mandatory, (it's really cheap, go buy it) the other arcane slot is your choice, since there are a few viable options. My recommendations are below.

  • BLIND RAGE is not viable! Do not try it, there is no way to mod a build with more strength at minimum/low energy cost. The build is an all-rounder with everything you could possibly need.

  • CORROSIVE PROJECTION is also not a bad aura mod, but Pistol amp outperforms it up until high level missions.

  • STEALTH DRIFT - having [Enemy Radar] feels really nice on [Mesa], you don't have to waste time looking for enemies while your Peacemaker is active. If you go for it, replace the [Power Drift] with it, but regardless if you run in or not, always have ANIMAL INSTINCT on your companion! Multiple energy radar mods increase the range of enemies shown on the map.

  • VIGOROUS SWAP is a really good mod for damage and holster speed, both stats work well with peacemaker. If you don't want to run as much survivability, replace it in the place of adaptation and consider replacing arcane grace with something else if you chose to run that.


ARCANES:

  • ARCANE ENERGISE - since while Peacemaker is active, it blocks you from receiving energy from a lot of sources like [Trinity], energising dash, energy restores and so on, arcane energise still works! The only downside is that [Mesa] doesn't move around too much to pick up energy orbs, so you need to take that into consideration. Also its insanely expensive, so if you don't have it yet, don't feel bad for running other options below.

  • ARCANE GRACE - because there is [Adaptation] and some health in this build, its a viable option to keep your health high during extended stays in the missions. You won't be getting one-shot, but the enemies can still chip your health away especially with toxin procs. This would prevent that.

  • ARCANE PRECISION - this gives a massive damage boost to your Peacemaker, but you need to trigger it constantly with your other weapons so it feel kind of weird to use because you need to keep one more buff up. Its viable, but you won't lack damage without it.


GAMEPLAY:

Keep your first ability up (eclipse) and shoot the enemies with Peacemaker. Once the focus circle goes down to about less than half of the size, reset it and repeat. You should get a feel for it after some time.


NOTES AND TIPS:

  • Note that the enemies on much higher or lower elevation from Mesa's perspective might not be targeted by the Peacemaker even if they are inside the focus ring!

  • While Mesa's second ability - Shooting Gallery is useful, if you don't want to, you don't have to keep it up.

  • If you are running solo, or with a squad that doesn't offer much energy [Regen], I'd recommend using restores. As I've mentioned above, you don't receive energy from them while your peacemaker is active, but if you drop down a restore and time your Peacemaker resets with the energy pulses, it gets the job done!

  • If you need to keep moving but still need to clear enemies, for example running an exterminate mission, you can cast your Peacemaker while in air and shoot the enemies! Simply bullet jump diagonally and go ham with it!

  • Helminth ability infusion (eclipse) is not for new players! You will be fine without it!

  • Most of the popular Regulators Prime builds are the best of what you can get, so if you need a good build, just fallow them!

  • Range mods DO NOT affect the Peacemaker range, so ignore that stat!
