This build is meant to pair with my Mesa Prime build.

Quick Notes:

• This build requires Arcane Velocity to work properly. I'll explain this later.

Element Setup

Viral + Heat

1. Viral: Has really high damage multiplier to health, good on everything since everything has health.

2. Heat: Strips 50% armor after 2 seconds but requires a little more explanation:

• Heat is in this build because it adds damage to every shot (status chance and elemental damage are not the same thing) and is faction agnostic.
• [Mesa] shoots really fast with Arcane Tempo. No need for Anemic Agility. She can almost instantly cap out on Viral procs (10x) even without dual status mods.
• This build is meant to be used universally against all enemy factions. If [Mesa] is actually having trouble killing, the 50% armor strip works wonders. And the infinitely stacking heat damage over time will increase your damage against the target the more you shoot at it.
• Against any enemies of the normal variety, you'll kill them nearly instantly. Faction mods don't matter in those cases, only in high level content. Heat is always useful since [Primed Heated Charge] adds a decent amount of raw elemental damage to every hit and strips armor while faction mods are only against certain enemies.
• Obviously if you really want to min-max for a specific mission, use a faction mod (especially since it has weird multiplicative interaction with slash procs). I'd argue that [Mesa] isn't really fit for the role if you are struggling that much against such high level enemies anyway. When faction mods start mattering, she's usually not the best pick anymore to do damage.
