Hello and welcome to the first (and probably most useless) chapter of the Metronomicon!
In this chapter we will be talking about a budget (no orokin reactor) build targeted for brand new players.
Mods Used in order of importance:
{[Streamline]}: This mod decreases energy costs of all abilities by 30%. (Mallet 25 17) (Resonator 50 35) (Metronome 75 52) (Amp 100 70)
Using all abilities once will now cost 174 energy instead of 250, that's 76 Energy Saved!
{[Intensify]}: This mod increases ability strength by 30%. More damage is always good!
{[Continuity]} This mod increases ability duration by 30%. (Mallet, Resonator and Metronome 20 26 seconds) (Metronome buff duration 15 19.5 seconds)
(Amp 30 39 seconds)
Longer ability duration means that you have to use abilities less often = more energy!
{Stretch} This mod increases ability range by 45%
Longer range on abilities is a nice bonus!
Low Rank Defensive mods, such as Vitality, Redirection or Steel Fiber are not recommended.
This is because of her default health/shield and armor values are low, and slightly increasing these stats by low rank mods will mot make much of a diffrence.
Not to mention that your Metronome ability makes you invisible to enemies, making defensive abilities close to pointless.
If you have [Augur Message], replace it with [Stretch]
If you have [Augur Secrets] or [Augur Reach], sell them for platinum and buy a Orokin Reactor instead!
If you manage to obtain a Aura Mod, sell them for platinum and buy a Orokin Reactor instead! (Most Aura mods are worth above 20 platinum)
If you have a Orokin Reactor installed on this warframe, ignore this build and go to Chapter 2 Instead:
