HIGHLEVEL Revenant Reave Build + Revenant Guide

This build is highly outdated. The guide is still good. I recommend max Strength and some duration and then using roar + viral stacks to onehit even non enthralled enemies.

In this guide you will learn how to become a literal god. If you read the entire guide, any mission will become a breeze. Not only will you bevome a god, other gods shalk tremble before your knees. You will become a walking cactus. You will become an esteemed [Revenant] enjoyer. You will become someone that you can not even imagine right now. And you may even, after reading this guide, be cum if you so choose.

In this guide, I will not only explain his kit but I will also give some instructions on the two different general playstyles you can use on [Revenant].

This build is solely focussed on Reave, Mesmerskin and Enthrall. The 4th ability is not to be used here. You can replace it with a different ability using Helminth if you so choose.

If you want to specialize to go into different content, look at my other builds. They are all designed to fit on the same Warframe.

Hybrid build: https://overframe.gg/build/119385/

Danse Macabre build: https://overframe.gg/build/119387/

Illegal build: https://overframe.gg/build/195657/

Lets go.


[Revenant] is a great Warframe for both endurance runs and normal missions. His kit does a lot of things. Some absolutely broken, some mediocre and some totally useless.
Some mechanics, which would be totally broken on other frames, get rendered useless because of how OP his kit is. As a Revenant, you go to infinity and beyond. Literally.


Info dump warning

Revenants kit:

His 1, Enthrall, is a CC that converts 1 enemy to a slave. Maximum of 7. If a slave shoots an enemy, that enemy turns into a Slave. If a slave dies, it spawns a bonfire that shoots out homing missiles that do decent damage and enslave more dudes. Huge snowball potential.
Some "deeper" mechanics for those who give a shit: Host thralls (i.e. the ones you personally create) share their duration with the thralls they infect. Recasting Enthrall does not refresh the ability duration on existing thralls. Thralls created by the bonfires count as host thralls, but they don't leave behind another bonfire.

His 2, Mesmerskin, is a 100% damage reduction. This doesn't have a duration, it has layers. 6 layers base (and 15 with this build) to be exact. Each time you get shot, you loose 1 layer. Once a shot hits, that enemy can only take away another layer after 5 seconds. This is not affected by mods. The enemy will be stunned for 5 seconds (base) and 6.2 seconds with this build. Status procs will not affect you while you have this ability active. But they will put you to 2 hp, which is not a problem as you can't die from them. This includes magnetic procs.

His 3, Reave, is a very fast and steerable dash during which you become invincible. Upon hitting an enemy, that enemy always looses 8% of their health and shield (base) or 20% with 250% strength, which is the important part. A thrall however will always lose 40% of their health and shields (base) or 100% if you have 250% strength.. That means you onehit any thrall if you have 250% strength. It deals infinite damage. The lost health and shields will heal you/replenish your shield. This mechanic can be overlooked as you don't take damage anyways. Every Thrall you hit with Reave will replenish your Mesmerskin by 1.

I'll Ignore Danse Macabre for this guide as It is not used in this build. Check out my other builds if you are interested.


Playstyles:

This build is for the Reave centered playstyle. It's only really efficient on long survivals. But it is quite fun and satisfying, in my opinion. You cast Enthrall and then you Reave your thralls frequently. Using the mechanics of this combo, you have permanent 100% damage reduction from Mesmerskin, which will be replenished with each kill, and you onehit anything around you. It is more than enough to sustain life support in a survival mission.

There is also the Danse Macabre playstyle which you can not use with this build.
You keep Danse Macabre active all the time. It has a relatively small effective range but deals huge ammounts of damage. That is where Reave comes in to play. Reave can be cast instantly and for only half the cost during Danse Macabre. Reave is steerable and it can be canceled at any time. So you can use it to jump right into the face of the enemy to roast them. This is not good for any mission that does involve stationary gameplay. i.e Defense. But it is good for anything else due to the obvious mobility advantage. Mesmerskin should be kept active at all times. You can just recast it whenever it is low. Shield gating helps with that. You literally can not die if you recast your Mesmerskin before it is fully depleted as shield gating gives you 1.3 seconds of invulnerability.


So why do i recommend this build?
This is a great build for highlevel content, which [Revenant] is one of the best Warframes for.
[Revenant] can easily deal with any level of enemy, this build just makes that part of him even greater. This is without a doubt the build that best fits people who know what they are doing with [Revenant] and want to do highlevel content.
