Builds

Corpus: Suggested up to Level 145

The Elements for the Stradavar Prime against the Corpus will be Viral/Electricity. Viral amplifies health damage by 100% for 6 seconds and stacks up to 10 times for a total of 325%, meanwhile Electricity stuns the target for 3 seconds and deals 50% base damage per second for 6 seconds. The Build's Flex Slot is [Hammer Shot] and works really well compared to the other factions. Electricity helps deal with Robotic enemies while Viral Procs help increase the damage against the target, which makes it so all enemies are easy to deal with, other than the small issue of Alloy Armor. In this case the weapon still performs okay, but a bit slower.

Corrupted & Grineer: Around Level 100 - 120

The Element for the Stradavar Prime against the Corrupted and Grineer will be Viral/Slash. Slash's status effect is Bleed and after 1 second it deals 35% of the base damage per second for 6 seconds, which bypasses armor. The Build's Flex Slot is [Hammer Shot] and works great, except it is essentially the same results as the [Fulmin], just stronger due to having innate Slash Damage and no Electricity damage. This weapon can work against higher leveled enemies, but takes longer to kill them unless using a frame that boosts damage.

Infested: Suggested up to Level 145

The Element for the Stradavar Prime against the Infested will be Viral/Slash. The Build's Flex Slot is [Hammer Shot] and works great, except at the same time not so much. Against the infested it is harder to deal with them, at least in Survival Missions due to the amount of them that requires using the slow Semi-Auto mode in order to Punch Through multiple enemies. Considering this weapon functions better in smaller crowds Full-Auto could work with the modification of Shred though, making the infested much easier to deal with.

Recommended Alternative Mods

• Vigilante Supplies - In place of having no Exilus mod. This will cost two more forma in order to have though.

• Primed Bane of Grineer, Primed Bane of Corrupted, Primed Bane of Corpus, or Primed Bane of Infested - In place of Hammer Shot if you want more damage against the said Faction.

• Cryo Rounds - In place of Primed Cryo Rounds if you don't own it.

• Primed Shred or Shred - In place of the build's Flex Slot in order to get more Punch Through and Fire Rate mainly for help in the Steel Path. This costs one more forma to have however.
