INTRODUCTION
This is a general Speedva build for maximum speed (enemies move 75% faster), great for speeding up survivals for looting and defense missions. Subsuming resonator on shuts off all enemy AI in a wide range so enemies run and shoot faster but do not actually attack you or your team (note this does not affect eximus or acolytes). Quiver arrow with Cloak arrow is a great alternative for camping situations since you can just turn invisible.

UPDATE OCT 2024
[Nova] 4 will now allow you to run both slow and speed on same build and both modes scale off strength meaning we no longer need to run negative strength [Nova]. Killing sped up enemies has a 15% chance to drop energy orbs.
BUILD SPECIFICS
Duration
High duration is necessary to let molecular prime cover as much of the map as possible and gives resonator/quiver decent uptime
Efficiency
Neutral to positive efficiency is nice since molecular prime costs 100 energy at base
Range
Range gives Resonator a decent [Charm] radius, which turns off aggressive AI in an area.
Strength
Exactly 150% strength is required to hit the maximum speed of 75%.
Helminth
Resonator is best in slot since it crowd controls/turns off enemy AI aggression WITHOUT reducing their speed of reaching you (note however, resonator does NOT work on Overguarded enemies). [Conductor] augment is optional but helpful in keeping the resonator from moving around erratically. This is flexible for [Cunning Drift] or [Primed Sure Footed].
Quiver is another great option as it gives you invisibility letting you chill in a bubble and shoot enemies while they run around like crazy.
Arcanes
Molt Efficiency for duration
Arcane Energize gives energy and her passive generates energy orbs on killing sped up enemies.
Arcane Consequence for parkour speed
Archon Shards
2 cast speed shards
1 or 2 strength shards frees up [Augur Secrets] slot
Rest flexible for violet equlibrium shard, amber energy orb efficiency or duration.
PLAYSTYLE
- Cast 4 to prime the map and make enemies 60% faster
- Cast resonator to shut off all AI so enemies don't shoot you, and command it around/stay still if using [Conductor] augment, or keep quiver arrow active.
- Use 3 to traverse the map
- Recast 1 as needed to give some mild damage reduction to health
WEAPONS
Certain weapons have quirks that are inherited by Molecular Primes explosion. This includes 1st generation incarnon weapons such as Devouring Attrition of Phenmor/[Laetum], Devastating Attrition of [Felarx], [Sobek] [Acid Shells].
