Build & Guide in Making

Hello everyone,

My name is UltimoFive and today we are going over the Tenet Diplos, The Twin Repeaters.

Weapon Information

• The Tenet Diplos are Full-Auto akimbo pistols that Auto-Locks onto enemies while zoomed and is obtained by either vanquishing a Sister of Parvos or trading from a player a Sister that they already conquered.

• The [Tenet Diplos] has a max rank of 40. In order to obtain this level, the player must Forma the weapon at least 5 times. Due to this feature, the player gains a total of 4,000 Mastery Points rather than 3,000 and the builds in this guide require 3 Forma.

• The [Tenet Diplos] excels in Short to Medium Range Combat, dealing with High Leveled enemies of all factions in Small to Medium Crowds.

Tenet Element Recommendation

With this weapon the player gets an option of having a Bonus Tenet Element, which caps at 60% based of the Progenitor Warframe you choose to spawn the Sister of Parvos.

My recommended Tenet Element would be:

• Toxin - Toxin deals 50% base damage per second over 6 seconds and stacks indefinitely with each instance having its own timer.

Advantages Vs. Disadvantages

Advantages:

• Extremely High Critical Chance at 36%

• Pinpoint Accuracy

• Innate 1 Meter Punch-Through

• High Magazine Capacity at 92 Rounds

• Reloads 8 Rounds per Second when Holstered

Disadvantages:

• Projectiles have Travel Time

• Lock-on homing targets the enemy's body

• Lock-on Projectiles must travel 5 meters before actually hitting their target.

• Lock-on Burst-Fire consumes 4 ammo per target

• Very Slow Reload Speed

• Heavy Recoil that gets worse with increased Fire Rate

Builds

Corpus: | Total Damage - | Average Hit - | Burst DPS - | Sustained DPS - | Tested up to Level 150

The Elements for the Tenet Diplos 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 [Convulsion] or [Hornet Strike] and even though it gets rid of Electric Damage it will still perform fine as standalone Viral.

Corrupted & Grineer: | Total Damage - | Average Hit - | Burst DPS - | Sustained DPS - | Tested up to Level 150

The Elements for the Tenet Diplos against the Corrupted & 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 [Carnis Stinger] or [Hornet Strike] and works pretty good. Once the weapon gets it's Damage Stacks from [Galvanized Shot] it performs very well and since the weapon has a Lower Slash Chance Carnis Stinger is on the build to help out a little.

Infested: | Total Damage - | Average Hit - | Burst DPS - | Sustained DPS - | Tested up to Level 150

The Elements for the Tenet Diplos against the Infested 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 (Primed) Heated Charge or Hornet Strike

Recommended Alternative Mods

• Galvanized Diffusion - In place of Barrel Diffusion if you have access to the mod through Arbitration and want to take the Weapons Damage to the next level.

• Sure Shot - In place of Galvanized Shot if you don't have access to Arbitration and can't get the mod.

• Heated Charge - In place of Primed Heated Charge if you don't have it.

• Target Cracker - In place of Primed Target Cracker if you don't have it.

• Pistol Gambit - In place of Primed Pistol Gambit if you don't have it.

• Expel Mods - In place of their Primed Counterparts if you don't have them.

• Steady Hands - In place of having no Exilus Mod. This will cost an additional Forma, but helps greatly with the weapons massive Recoil if you can't handle it.

• Lethal Torrent or Magnum Force - In place of the Build's Expel Faction Mod if you don't like using Faction Mods.

Synergy with Tenet Diplos

There are several ways to enhance Critical Stats and Damage for this weapon:

Damage:

• Rhino's Roar adds bonus damage.

• [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.

• Wisp's Haste Reservoir bolsters fire rate, 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.

• Volt's Electric Shield when shot through adds a 200% Critical Damage Multiplier.

• Zephyr's Passive increases Critical Chance by 150% while airborne.

• Yareli's Passive increases Critical Chance by 200% after moving around for at least 1.5 seconds.

• Adarza Kavat with Cat's Eye can give a 60% Critical Chance boost.

• Smeeta Kavat with Charm can give a 200% Crit Chance.

Arcane Synergy

• Arcane Avenger - Upon being damaged, 21% chance for 45% Critical Chance for 12 seconds.

• Arcane Awakening - On reload, 60% chance for 150% damage to pistols for 24 seconds.

• Arcane Precision - On Headshot, 100% chance for 300% damage to pistols for 18 seconds.

• Arcane Arachne - On Wall Latch, 150% Damage for 30 seconds.

Secondary Arcane

• Secondary Merciless - On Kill 30% Damage for 4 seconds, which stacks up to 12 times and comes with 30% Reload Speed and 100% Max Ammo. This secondary mod is better in my opinion due to not having to get headshot kills and the increased Reload Speed. However, Secondary Deadhead could come handy for those who want to reduce the weapons Recoil and Headshot Damage Multiplier.

Riven Synergy

When you get your hands on a Riven for this weapon the Flex Slot to replace will be what was previously discussed before. This may require 1 more Forma and in order to maximize Damage output with Tenet Diplos, one will need to get lucky and get some nice stats. These stats would be:

• Ideal Stats: - The Ideal Stats would be; Critical Damage, Damage, Multishot and Negative Zoom.

• Secondary Ideal Stats - The Secondary Ideal Stats would be; Critical Damage, Damage, Fire Rate and Negative Zoom.
