Hello everyone,
My name is UltimoFive and today we are going over the Silva & Aegis Prime, Nature's Protector.
[Silva & Aegis Prime] is the Prime Version of [Silva & Aegis] and was released alongside [Sybaris Prime] and [Oberon Prime]. In order to obtain [Silva & Aegis Prime] one must open a variety of relics that contain the Blueprint, Blade, Guard, and Hilt in order to make it at the foundry.
Silva & Aegis Prime requires a mastery rank of 12.
[Silva & Aegis Prime] comes with 1 "V" and 2 "D" Polarity Slots, plus a "V" Stance Slot. Because of this, the builds on this weapon will require 2 forma.
[Silva & Aegis Prime] excels in Medium to Large Crowd Slaughter against all factions in High Leveled Areas.
The Silva & Aegis Prime has a few buffs when compared to the original Silva & Aegis. These stats would be:
Higher Base Damage at 318.0 Vs. 98.0
Higher Critical Chance at 25% Vs. 5%
Higher Critical Multiplier at 2.5x Vs. 1.5x
Higher Status Chance at 30% Vs. 20%
Lower Attack Speed at 0.75 Vs. 1.00
Advantages:
High Critical Chance at 25%
Very High Status Chance at 30%
Shield Bashes have a guaranteed Impact Proc
Blocking attacks stores a charge that additively increases Critical and Status Chance up to 60% on the next attack.
Disadvantages:
Corpus: Total Damage - | Average Hit - | Sustained DPS - | Tested up to Level 150 at Max Stacks
The Elements for the Silva & Aegis Prime against the Corpus will be Viral/Radiation. Viral amplifies health damage by 100% for 6 seconds and stacks up to 10 times for a total of 325%. Meanwhile, Radiation causes enemies to attack each other while dealing 100% additional damage to the allied for 12 seconds and can stack up to 10 times for a total of 550%. The Build's Flex Slot is [Shocking Touch] or Berserker and is perfect. This weapon absolutely decimates Corpus enemies like they are nothing. Even Armored or Robotic enemies don't stand a chance due to the combination of Viral/Radiation. Also it is fun to send enemies flying by shield bashing them.
Corrupted & Grineer: Total Damage - 838.9 | Average Hit - 22,642.2 | Sustained DPS - 22,642.2 | Tested up to Level 150 at Max Stacks
The Elements for the Silva & Aegis Prime against the Corrupted and Grineer will be Viral/Heat. Heat deals 50% base damage per second over 6 seconds while stripping up to 50% armor and causes targets to panic. The Build's Flex Slot is Gladiator Might and surprisingly works well. Considering this is mainly a Status Weapon I thought Corrosive/Heat would work due to the Higher Base Damage. However, through the utilization of the [Final Harbinger] Stance the player can easily use Slash Procs to help fight through Armor mixed with extremely hard Impact Procs.
Infested: Total Damage - | Average Hit - | Sustained DPS - | Tested up to Level 150 at Max Stacks
The Element for the [Silva & Aegis Prime] against the Infested will be Gas. Gas deals 50% base damage per second for 6 seconds in a 3 meter radius and stacks up to 10 times to a total of 6 meters. The Build's Flex Slot is Gladiator Might and works great. Gas does much better than Viral/Heat due to how much status it can lay out and its already High Base Damage. If you really don't like using Gas than I would suggest going Viral/Heat, but I really suggest Gas. Plus, it is fun to watch the infested run into a Gas cloud for 200,000 Plus tick damage.
Bonus Flex Slot - In which Berserker can be replaced in all the Builds if the player wants to utilize the use of Arcane Strike.
Fever Strike - In place of its Primed Counterpart if you don't have it.
Amalgam Organ Shatter - In place of Organ Shatter if you use Heavy Attacks and are okay with losing 5% Critical Damage.
(Primed) Reach - In place of The Build's Flex Slot if you want more range on the weapon.
(Primed) Faction Mods - In place of The Build's Flex Slot to help increase damage against a specific faction.
Sacrificial Pressure - In place of Primed Pressure Point to further increase damage in the Guarding Heavy Attack Build Set. This will cost one more "V" Forma however.
Drifting Contact - In place of The Build's Flex Slot for helping with Combo Duration If you don't have Naroman focus or can't handle the combo chain duration.
Gladiator Rush - In place of The Build's Flex Slot for helping with Combo Duration If you don't have Naroman focus or can't handle the combo chain duration.
There are several ways to enhance Critical Stats and Damage for this weapon:
Damage:
Rhino's Roar adds bonus damage.
Valkyr's Warcry bolsters attack speed, in turn increasing DPS.
[Nova]'s Molecular Prime makes all sources of damage increase by 100% against primed enemies, on top of that they will detonate upon death dealing blast damage.
Mirage's Eclipse mixed with her Hall of Mirrors adds a massive damage bonus during the day or in light.
Saryn's Toxic Lash mixed with her Spores abilities.
Equinox's Rest & Rage in Day Form makes targets more vulnerable to Damage.
Volt's Speed bolsters Attack Speed, in turn increasing DPS.
Chroma's Vex Armor when Health gets damaged increases Weapon Damage.
Critical Stats:
Harrow's Covenant can add up to 50% Critical Chance and 200% on headshots.
Adarza Kavat with Cat's Eye can give a 60% Critical Chance boost.
Smeeta Kavat with Charm can give a 200% Crit Chance.
Arcane Strike - On Hit, 15% chance for 60% Attack Speed to Melee Weapons for 18 seconds.
Arcane Fury - On Critical Hit, 60% chance for 180% Melee Damage to Melee Weapons for 18 seconds.
Arcane Blade Charger - On Primary Weapon Kill, 30% chance for 300% Melee Damage for 12 seconds.
When you get your hands on a Riven for this weapon the Flex Slot to replace will be the Build's said Flex Slot previously discussed and costs 1 more Forma. In order to maximize Damage Output with the Silva & Aegis Prime, one will need to get lucky and get some nice stats. These Ideal Stats would be:
Higher Average Damage - For Higher Average Damage the stats would be; Melee Damage, Critical Damage, Critical Chance, and Negative Finisher Damage.
Higher Sustained DPS - For Higher Sustained DPS the stats would be; Melee Damage, Critical Damage, Attack Speed, and Negative Finisher Damage.
